    Does Texas have fake turf? Man, I thought all SEC teams were going to get real grass.

    If you had substituted either Boise State or Arizona State I think the results would have been the same so that's almost half of the 12 teams that should have been other teams . . . like SEC or Big (Whatever). Only the other conferences required their inclusion.

    I didn't see the ACC championship game and wouldn't be shocked, in the future, to see conferences rig their championship games so a pretender like Clemson gets the auto-bye and the ranked team still gets in, stealing a slot.

    It's fake, other SEC teams with fake fields are Kentucky, Missouri and Vandy.

    Would like to see them all playing on real grass... Not sure which is safer, because Jacksonville's stadium grass IS NOT safe.

    Watching this game and too much orange. Must be confusing the Clemson QB with all the bad throws. :cool:

    It doesn't look like TJ Moore gets many looks at Clemson. Needs to come home.

    Jerrick Gibson... from Orlando and Jaden Blue I believe were injured. We wanted Gibson badly, but he was all about the $$$$$.

    I think they have like 8 running backs, some might be PWOs though.

    Assuming this route continues, the committee needs to make SOS the #1 input going forward. These games are terrible but I think most of us expected it.

    The two games so far today are on TNT. Why do they have announcers who work for ESPN?

    At this point, UF played UGA and Texas way tougher than Clemson has with a whole summer or a month to prepare.
