I can only think that it's an attempt to look intimidating.  Usually it's an underdog team that does that.  ISU, TCU, Northwestern come to mind.  Maybe Duke?  Texas Tech?
All ugly.
Ed Zachery,so many of the wannabe's think this gives them an advantage when all the other wannabe's are doing it also - hardly unique

Been drinking much of the day but logging on to say, if UW could win this, it would be very nice.

So with ND Crashing back to earth do they stay in the 4 spot?
If they do I think it will mostly just to avoid an aTm/Bama rematch.

I was rooting for Notre Dame to win, both because I like the Irish and because I wanted to see the Committee trip over itself rationalizing why a 2-loss Clemson was being selected for the CFP.

But the way they are losing they do not look like one of the four best teams.

C'mon Gators
It would be even money if Alabama's offensive starters were all out.  That's the only way.

About ISU--their normal unis--since they abandoned the "Screaming Yellow Zonkers" color palette--look good in a USC way.  I don't know why they want to wear all-black.
I can only think that it's an attempt to look intimidating.  Usually it's an underdog team that does that.  ISU, TCU, Northwestern come to mind.  Maybe Duke?  Texas Tech?
All ugly.
Don't forget Miami.  I think UNC just scored again...

I'm coming to think that being conference champ ought to be a prerequisite for the CFP.
And I'm not saying that because OU is a conference champ.  I've thought this for awhile.
I don't like CCGs.
And nobody forced conferences to play CCGs, but if they're going to play them, then the games should have consequences.

Probably, but there has to be one better, and ... well it would get tricky.

Yeah, we'd be in that conundrum of not having any team good enough to be #4!

Ugh!  How could I forget about the greatest, ugliest, thug-ugly team in CFB history?

Alabama should get a bye.  Let them play Coastal Carolina.
