      <comment>Heres how my perfect playff system willgo:
Each Conference winner will get a shot at the natty.(or the bestrecord out of FBS independents)
There will be play in gamesbetween a SEC runner up, vs.Big 12 Runner up and a MAC runner up vs. ACC Runner up.
There will be a lottery between the next best two teams in the nation.
See very simple!</comment>

      <comment>Looks like not everyone is happy. College Football, gotta love it! Down hill from here on out, lots of good games still to come. Now is the time to win or shut up. Me personally loves a great defense. Funny most complaints are the lack of defense and ND is leading in that department. Hopefully we are getting better on that side of the ball. What's up with Pitt? Contender or Pretender we are about to find out. Come on Steve whatcha got? The Irish train is coming and Pitt is in the way. Good Luck and may the best team win! Gooo Irish </comment>

      <comment>Don't let it get the best of you wald jus' cause your team lost to the Trojans... no matter the stats, it's the outcome that matters.....USC WON! Ohio St. lost (once again). Ask the Indy Colts...they possessed the ball on offense for only a lil over 13 minutes throughout the game and still beat the Dolphins.</comment>

I will say this though...the USC/Stanford should be a good tough game, but you see Cool? USC already had ther inter-conference loss so from here on it's all fight til you win attitude.

      <comment>Yes, usc did win. but u have to admit that ND almost came back and won!!!!!!!!! Even though they lost i think that the still did great! If you look at the replay of the last play, the reciever had slipped as he made his move which slowed him down 1/2 of a second! So if that did not happen, then he would have caught the pass and TOUCHDOWN NOTRE DAME!!!!!!!!! but he didnt, so whatever, still a great game by both teams!</comment>

      <comment>Congratulations u$c on a good game. Too bad close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Again our defense just couldnt get it done. I've always said, &quot;defense wins championships, offense sells tickets.&quot; Oh well yesterday is in the past and tomorrow is in the future. Fight On and Gooo Irish</comment>
