I suspect that not only will this not alter Derek's pick, rather reaffirm his choice.


Yep! :lol: :lol:
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Initially I had ...

I posted the Picks before espn listed who was in each game. I took the playoff bracket that was posted by the official College Football Playoff website. And simply copied which games they put in the brackets.

Then after the first round, I realized espn had a different look, so I went back and changed them as the games went forward. :wink:

Game 46……. Ohio State
”We’re already in a time where the on-field aspect of College Football is almost a distraction. It’s an era filled with handwringing about player empowerment, NCAA deregulation, the transfer portal and realignment all while the sport generally moves toward a professional model.” ~ Dennis Dodd

I did pause on my pick for a bit ...

I'm just not sure of the health on ND's offensive line.

Still, if there were a year for the Irish, it could be this one.
