Fla receivers have the dropsies. Wasn't threet a five star pro style before he went to Ga tech and then Michigan? Like Gardner he might have been good in the right system

Clemson can't lose and get in, IMO. The timing and desire to let a defending champ repeat is too much. osu or a possible ACC Champ UNC that just won big (need to crush Clemson to get in) or a Stanford team that just crushed USC (also need a big win) not jumping Clemson? No chance. Just an opinion but they don't have a decade of dominance to prop them up like Bama. They're out with a loss. The only players left are Clemson, Bama, Oklahoma, Iowa, msu, osu, Stanford and UNC. I think the possibilities are obvious but osu is the wildcard. B1G is in with Iowa or msu. Bama is in or out with win or loss. Oklahoma is in. ACC is in with Clemson win (100%) or blowout UNC win (90%+, out with loss or close win), Stanford needs to win BIG and Clem/Bama to lose (better than 50% if UNC wins close and they win big, jumped by osu with loss or close win) and osu needs anything but a blowout win by UNC/Stan AND 1 or 2 to lose. If a spot is open and UNC didn't throttle Clemson in a win, Stanford didn't throttle USC in a win/loss they're 90% in. A Bama loss on top would 100% guarantee it. It's not as complicated as this reads (haha).

Stanford needs the most help. The committee just needs a reason to give the defending champs a chance to repeat. OU & B1G winner are in. Clem & Bama just need to win to be in. The rest in order of odds and need of help are: osu, UNC, Stan. UNC needs to win but also win big. osu just needs a loss that isn't UNC crushing Clemson or Stanford crushing USC. Stanford needs a loss that isn't UNC crushing Clemson and to crush USC but that likely won't be enough.

are rather annoying.  Vern is always missing the most obvisous things on the field and Danielson's love fest for all things ESS EEE CCCC is nauseating.

I'm sorry but I know the consequences of Alabama losing but I hate them so much I hope they lose and then get struck by a meteor. If hey win, please smack Staee if Iowa can't do the job.

You can't complain too much about a division title, but I feel like the jury's still out on McElwain at Florida.  His 2015 season reminds me a bit of Hoke's first year in that he's capitalizing on the strong side of the ball (defense, in this case) that he inherited from his predecessor.

I'm pretty confident Chesson/Darboh/Butt can ball on these guys if Rudock can get them the ball with enough time after seeing this game. 

 

So it'll come down to the Oline being competent.

Fortunately - in contrast to some other coaches we've had - Harbaugh won't have us banging our heads against a wall for three quarters trying to run.  We'll have a pass-first gameplan.  At this point, I have a lot of confidence in Rudock to find the open receiver against almost anyone.  We just have to be able to protect him.

a lot of fortunate wins on a team that doesn't really pass the eye test. 5 of their wins are by a possession or less and their offense is horrendous. I bet they'll drop back hard next year
