Time and money. Driving down to Arlington is much easier than Miami.Originally Posted by JLEW1818
I'm not just saying this as a theoretical scenario. I'd had my mind set to go to the game in Arlington, but won't be able to make it to Miami.

Really? Are you serious? Holy crap! A 3 hour drive v. Airline tickets and at least 2 extra nights of hotels.

Same here. I will jack up the price of the tickets I bought by $75 apiece so I guess I will get some satisfaction from the jackass Bama fans.

I'm comparing Clemson travel to Miami vs Oklahoma travel to Miami.
It's NYE in Miami. It's going to be expensive for everyone. Right?
You act like South Carolina is part of South Floridia.
And I would rather win the national title than go to a game. Yes I would have gone if it was in Dallas.
But I still think the 4 seed gives us the best chance to win #8.
I think anyone would agree with that.
I think to win it all, we'd have to beat Alabama and Clemson either way. The only thing that changed was the order.
But agreed. I'd rather win it all rather than go to the game. I wanted both, though.
After the end of last season and the first 5 games of this season, I'm just thrilled we made the CFP. Bitchin' about the seeding of the venue feels like whining about paying taxes after winning $100m lotto.
Pretty interesting storylines for these games and im sure the committee took that into consideration. "Vulnerables" v his old team and coach. Saban v msu against his old school. Then the ultmate rematch of 2 of the top 5 teams in cfb history for the title if bama and we win.
I'm in agreement. Just sad a lotta Sooners won't make a Dallas trip. That's not winning the Championship is about tho.
Maybe Mich. St. can wear out Henry a little for us.
5-0
BOY HOWDY !!!!
I guess I'm the exception to 'anyone'. We didn't want to go to Miami.
LOL. I don't understand why he is happy. I may have underestimated how bad OU fans will be outnumbered. Apparently Clemson fans have purchased about 75-80% of the OB tickets already. Plus, we match up much better with Alabama. You can't win the NC if you don't get to the title game. The teams with the best QBs have a huge advantage in these type games. OU will face the 2nd best QB and the 2nd best team on essentially their home field.

1. I'm happy we made the playoff.
2. I'm happy we don't have to play probably the best college football coach of all time in the first round.
3. Let MSU bang up Henry 11 days before we have to play them, assuming we beat Clemson.
4. Why give Saban 25 days to prepare when you can only give him 11 days?
You act like this is an automatic loss to Clemson.
So why the **** does Vegas have OU opening as a 2.5 fav in Miami? Why? You act like its Clemson, Miami or something. Geez.
OU would not be favored against Bama in Dallas.
And I don't give a **** that you don't have the money to go Miami.
I didn't want to go to Miami that's it, horrible compared to Dallas. I'll buy my tickets to Glendale though

Are you actually talking to somebody, or randomly shouting out stuff? I don't think anybody sees Clemson as an automatic loss. The issue is that we were underseeded, and that we would much rather be heading to Dallas.
Yes we would.OU would not be favored against Bama in Dallas.
I don't see us as being under seeded. It's close with MSU, but I think their win against tOSU is better than any win we have.
I think the bu loss also hurt OU. I will add though...they said several folks on the committee voiced that OU should be #1..wow.
Stoops needs to put in the 2000 game against fsu IN FLORIDA. That ended very well!
Like Boulder said, if you had told me after the horn loss we'd be in the playoffs I'd been very happy...and am. BOOMER!
* okay, we had 1 "last second game"...tcu, without Baker, granted without Boykin and their receiver as well...BUT iowa and mich st had several last second games..just more thoughts

How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!
Arguments could be made either way between Alabama, MSU, and OU, but I'm ultimately basing this off of where people would be willing to put their money. Last week I watched a video with 8 different guys (can't remember who it was with, but I remember Wannstedt and Leinart being on there), and 7 out of the 8 predicted OU would beat Alabama, and all 8 said that the winner of OU/Bama would go on to win the championship. Instead we're matched up against #1 Clemson, and are once again favored. When the lowest seed is favored over the highest seed, I tend to think one of the teams was underseeded, or the other one was overseeded.
MSU has a lot of quality wins, but they've never done so in convincing fashion, and they could very easily have 3-4 losses. I'd be willing to concede that they deserve some credit for pulling out all these close games, but it'd be silly to dismiss the heavy dose of luck. In no way did they deserve to win that Michigan game. MSU has six wins of 7 points or less (some of which are to teams like 2-10 Purdue). OU has two.
Eielson has always been the biggest **** ****** on this board.
And no we wouldn't be favored against Bama you stupid ****
Can't argue with that logic. Well done.
