Title: Championship Week Preview
Post by: MaximumSam on December 01, 2019, 08:08:48 AM
nFriday, 8 pm

PAC 12: Utah v. Oregon, ABC: Huge game for the Utes.  A win, plus a win by LSU, gives them a real shot at the playoffs.  But Oregon is no joke, and this could be a great game.

Saturday

Big 12: Baylor v. Oklahoma, ABC: The last game was amazing, with Baylor racing to a huge lead and the Sooners racing to a huge comeback.  Both of these teams have a shot at the playoff.  In fact, if the Utes lose and LSU wins, the winner could a slam dunk.

MAC: Miami v. Central Michigan, ESPN2: Fun fact, these teams got annihilated by the B1G champ participants earlier this season.

Sun Belt: Louisiana v. Appalachian State, ESPN: Honestly I haven't thought much about the Sun Belt this year, other than the good feelings I get when I see Appy State.

1:30, Conference USA: UAB v. Florida Atlantic, CBSSN: Here come the Kiffins.  Fun fact, all three of OSU's noncon opponents are playing in a championship game.

3:30, AAC: Cincinnati at Memphis, ABC: How much has changed since they played this exact game a week ago?

4 pm

SEC: Georgia v. LSU, CBS: Winner makes the playoffs.  Loser, if it's LSU, probably still makes the playoffs.  By the time this game starts we should have a decent picture of where Utah, Baylor, and Sooners, stand.  Also if Georgia loses a close game we will immediately hear about how they still deserve to be in.

Mountain West: Hawai'i at Boise State, ESPN: No doubt everyone will be watching this one

7:30, ACC: Clemson v. Virginia, ABC: Clemson still looking for a good opponent. 

8 pm, B1G: OSU v. Wisconsin, FOX: No Big Nude Saturday this time.

If Georgia loses 31-30 on a contested call, they do NOT deserve to be in the playoff.  NOT.  Anyone arguing otherwise is an idiot, or some mediot who simply wants to stir a pot.  They'd be 11-2 with a bad loss and an indifferent offence.  If they upset LSU, fine, they earned it, but not otherwise.  Go to the Orange Bowl and try and beat UVA.

But, CD, mediots are idiots who, being in the media, want to stir the pot to get more clicks/viewers.  And more than a fair share of them seem to be in love with and/or in league with the SEC.  So, of course, many of them would make exactly that argument in that situation.
