I preferred six as well, but whatever, $$$$$. 

Ya I suppose the Ducks and their fans feel jilted after a perfect season. They won at home by 1 pt vs this same team,like Bama getting a do over vs LSU in '11 or '12 whenever it was.Networks and University Athletic Depts are whoors

it was obviously a helmet to helmet hit, forcible contact above the shoulders

Correct, but results have nothing to do with it.  ASU could have pulled it out, and ND wins tomorrow, and it wouldnt mean a thing

I think it did not involve "crown of the helmet", maybe that was a factor.

The ND-UGA victor will face PSU who is looking pretty salty these days, but I think either of the first two would be favored by about 5.  Ohio State will be favored over Texas by 3-4-5 I suspect, it's probably already listed.  We could have a final that is all from one conference.  We're getting down to near helmet/helmet teams now.

They should have only went to 6 and that's it.Not that the powers that be care what we/I think they go to 14 they can eat me. I wonder what the viewing audience was last night w/o ABC showing the OSU/Ore Game
were you part of the listening audience?

I agree that these games are important enuff for national TV
When Sleepy Joe callas a press conference, it's on ABC

games on peacock, netflix, and Amazon Prime bother me too, but that's what sports bars are for.

Agreed are coaches encouraging this though. I know some of the players are asses and looking for the big hit w/o wrapping up. And that is the whole idea of lowering the helmet. We've all seen a DB slam into a receiver who spun off and got xtra yds or even a score. All because the tackler couldn't be bothered with  fundamentals. When I played that is what they coached and it made sense at least I could trip up a big tight end as he was stomping over me

yup. maybe no "launch" as well
The crown of the helmet can be a small area
it's not a hard definition and up to judgement like many penalties

but, this one did injure the receiver - that might be a factor

I reveled in the Texas0ASU game as being almost as good as a Texas bowl game a few years back.  I was pulling for the underdog and Skatteboo, he balled out.

yup, tackling high is a pet peeve of mine

anything above the waist has the possibility of a broken tackle and more yards

After watching 3 different angles the refs had to flag that. Who knows what happens next but ASU had to like their chances with their momentum
