If you're a Nebraska fan watching Central Florida Vs Memphis what do say for Scott Frost's defenses? Just abysmal these last few games.
That Nebraska's defense can't get any worse

Who do we root for?
I'm thinking Auburn. If they win then that kind of hurts Alabama's argument no? We already saw that match-up, and Auburn clearly dominated. That game wasn't as close as the scoreboard indicated it was.
I think opposite.  If Auburn loses it means Alabama's one loss was to a three loss non champ.  If Auburn wins it might mean Alabama is simply the second best team.

Also true.  I'm not sure it matters much.  My thought is that Auburn winning means the committee can't say a 2 loss conference champ doesn't deserve to be in.

Give Mayfield the Heisman. The kid is a jackass but he's also the best player in CFB. That was a solid TCU defense he made look silly (twice).
I thought I settled my debts that night on the ride home
But I have still got hell to pay

I'm not sure it's even close.  Love was dinged up, and Barkley faded hard.

Mayfield is ridiculously good.  Has complete command of his offense, calls a lot of the plays, doesn't flinch under pressure, and throws accurately on the move all over the field

yeah I've never seen a Heisman year where one guy was just so clearly superior. Mayfield better win by the highest margin ever. He is just ridiculously awesome. Might go down as the best QB ever if he caps it off with a title this year.

For all the pick plays that aren't called, that was a very weak call.

If the NFL called pick plays like that, Brady and Manning would have about 8 combined career TDs

Weak sauce.  Bad call.

agreed. Maybe ELA is right and an Auburn loss would hurt Alabama's chances of backing in so the SEC refs are coming in with the fix?
