Alabama is going to have 35 points at halftime and the question is going to be what is wrong with Oklahoma's offense.

Does this ND loss "color" their odds of making the playoffs in the near future?

I suspect it might.  They are getting trounced.
It should. They just scraped by a lot of teams this season and the don't play a 13th game like the rest of the teams (or Bama if you don't win your division.. different topic).

The two best teams played each other on December 1 this year.

those two won't have much drop, if any either @847badgerfan .... dang it.  it's pretty clear at this point the country needs Saban to retire.

Not another Bama-Clemson.
To include tonight’s games there been what (?) - 10 or 12 semi final games and only two have been worth watching after halftime? Last year’s Georgia-Oklahoma and the 2014 Bama-Ohio State. NFL definitely has a better down-the-stretch product this season.

If Saban retired this year, Georgia would just replace the Tide, at least for a time.  They're nearly their equal already, and the last 2-3 Dawg classes have the most 5* guys in the nation, by far.  Plus, it would take a couple of years for whoever replaced Saban to poo the bed, and there's Clemson to consider.  


It won't remain the P5 for very long, guys.

Someone tell the OU OL 75 if he doesn't want someone sitting on his QB to not let THAT GUY go right by you.  ffs

So, people are complaining (on SM) about having blow outs, but I'd surmise going to an 8 team playoff would mean MORE blow outs.

Well, it seems clear these are the "two best teams" and the BCS would have worked fine this year.

I don't have an issue with ND and OU being selected, they were the logical 3 and 4 teams, it's just there was a gap this year.  Last year 3 and 4 played in the NC.  The committee has been choosing the same teams I'd choose.

Pretty sure the Car Auctions on NBC's cable affiliate will garner higher ratings than Tide-Tigers.Just gonna watch in case of the highly unlikely hood of a sinkhole developing.Plus it's the last CFB game of the year

I agree.   
Makes you wonder though, would the game of CFB be better off to use the NY6 to pair the top 12 teams, and do a BCS style plus one for the Trophy?
All the games would be raucous and most years you would end up with a fairly obvious top 2.

Some of the bowls have agreements with conferences which is why Georgia plays Texas instead of the higher ranked Michigan.

But we COULD have the NY6 bowl games and then pick the two best after that as a model, interesting thought.  How would that have worked this year?  I guess Alabama would play Texas, or something like that in a NY6 bowl?  Blech.
