Uggh. Penn State is decimating SMU thus far (28-0, almost to the half)...College Football Playoffs

While I don't have a DAWG in this specific game, it is sure as hell going to fuel all those Alabama and Ole Miss fans who were pissed as hell that SMU got the spot and they were excluded.

Sometimes, it just takes halftime to regroup, but yikes, I don't want to see a blowout. Is anyone else watching?

I see that Penn State got TWO interception returns for a TD.
I have some DFS bets for this and I need Offense that I'm not getting.

Live in PA but originally from WV, who usually fell to Penn State. Daughter went to Penn State.
So I have a love/hate relationship with PSU. But I don’t like a shutout and hope the game is competitive in the second half. Jennings is really good, but having a bad day today.

5. It just goes to show that the previous "playoffs" weren't really that.

They were almost all at neutral sites and almost all in the South, in domes. They also sold a huge number of corporate tickets and didn't favor a home crowd for the higher seeded team.

About time northern teams got some home field advantage.

Peach/Rose/Sugar/Fiesta bowl for the next round, Cotton/Orange bowl after that, then the championship game.

My sister has been to a couple of Orange Bowls; she says it's not even like being at a college game.

6. Thanks. Those of us planning to watch later can now skip the first half, probably the game . . .

A little discretion on spoilers in subject lines, at least while the game is in progress, goes a long way.

7. Alright. Sorry... But I think you are really going to have a hard time with the world shutting it out...

I have heard it at least twice just flipping channels and someone in the house is listening to sports radio that had it. And I have yet to not hear at least the initial score on any NFL game I was not watching. Better head for a remote hiking trail and hope no one out there is listening as well. Maybe avoid the football forum too because we actually do have a right to discuss it in real time...?

Doesn't matter. My foolishness, looking into these forums while at work by myself.

14. NORTH DAKOTA STATE -SOUTH DAKOTA STATE - THATS A FOOTBALL GAME

State won 28-21. That would be NDAK State, with a touchdown late.

No Drama. No hurt feelings. No nonsense. Just Football.

I have no allegiance, didn’t care who won. Just wanted to watch a good game and I knew it would be.
