Playoff Selection Thread…?

1. Fvck Alabama, don’t care what the argument is, they don’t deserve a shot gift like that. They got their asses kicked by 2 unranked teams. Pound sand losers.

I think ASU might do well with the right matchup, I think Boise and SMU will lose to about everyone in the field accept each other. JMO

That is it NFM
