VaTech/FSU, Ohio State/Miami, and SC/Texas. And all three of those game were epic. Had we had a 4 team playoff in those years, we may have seen some incredible games. Diego Gonzalez, I don't ever want to see more than 4 teams in a playoff. 4 is perfect. There were 3 spectacular teams this year and then the rest. An 8 team playoff this year would've been awful.

[@Thejoeordinary1]

greg j Bad calls, if it was, are part of the game. When I first saw it , it looked like a drop in real-time. In slow and super slow lookedlike he caught it and fumbled it. Refs criteria was different anyway. The rule is you have to control ball and make a turn upfield for it to be a catch.He didn’t. Refs missed a couple of pass interference plays on O St too. Had Clemson lost you couldn’t blame it on that. Unless it’s the last play of the game a bad call seldom changes the winner / loser. Ohio St came back and had the lead after that play and couldn’t hold it. Missed several TD opportunities in the red zone that probably puts the game out of reach and bottom line, Olave cuts right and they are playing for the Natty...he cuts left, they are not....he cut left.

I had no horse in this game, but that targeting call changed everything. I’m amazed that one single play and moment could have such impact.

Targeting call was correct the over turned fumble is the real call. Receiver caught the ball clear fumble return for a TD.

[@DaddyHell]

Zch Murphy I believe it was called incomplete because he never actually turned back upfield or tried to. He was contacted the entire time he was trying to secure the catch. I feel it was the right call to be made. I’m not a fan of either, so this is not a bias opinion.

Wade targeting call was BS and kept them on the field to score again instead of having to punt. Roughing the punter where we would’ve got great field position instead it gave them a first down and scored 2 plays later. And finally Chris Olave running the wrong way at the end of his route on the last play of the game when he had his man beat for a comeback TD and win.
