Can the Tennessee fans who have been trash talking for the last couple of weeks admit that they have been generally overmatched

So let me finish my post from earlier.

Tennessee fans before a big game act like kids on Christmas Eve, all giddy and excited.....and after the game, they're like the homeless kid with no presents under the tree.

The seeding for the playoffs should been the following

#8 Arizona St - gets bye in first round

#7. Boise St -  gets bye in first round

#6. Tenn @ Ohio St  - Winner

#5. IND @ Notre Dame - Winner

#4.  SMU @  PSU - Winner

#3.  CLEM @ Texas -  Winner

#2. Georgia -  gets a first round bye

#1.  Oregon - gets a first round bye

This would have resulted in these 2nd round matchups

Rose. -  #8 Ariz St vs #1 Oregon
Sugar #7 Boise St vs #2 Georgia
Peach -  #6 Ohio St vs #3 Texas
FIESTA. - #5 Notre Dame vs  #4 Penn St

Howard made some perfect throws in the first half.

aka home teams....all 4 crowds were LIT......and despite many hillbillies invading, 21-0 kept things in the home team's favor, atmosphere-wise.

Personally I think it shows 12 is too many. And I think the next round is going to show a few more shouldn't be there

yup, a good or very good home team gets on a roll, there could be a blowout

I don't enjoy blowouts but, they're gonna happen - regardless

regardless if there are 12 teams
regardless if there 4 teams
regardless if there is one game and two deserving teams

there will probably be a blowout in the next round

regardless how many teams are included, there will be teams that bitch about being left out.
