When they kept Alabama in but dropped BYU out despite similar results against similarly ranked teams, it’s clear they don’t care to protect the value of championship games and just favored the SEC. They also weren’t going to keep a Power 4 conference like the ACC out. It’s a corrupt system is all.

This throw is basically the same as any Sunday with Will Levis.

It’s much easier for Houston when they target whoever Zaire Franklin has in coverage. Like like an 80% or more chance of a long completion or defensive penalty.

💯% agree. The safety and CB were both on the inside with no defender outside. Downs has to see that and know to break that route outside. Not sure why the confusion from Downs there.

That’s the truth. Idiotic penalty and should’ve never occurred, especially on a 60 yarder.

It’s 100% a leverage penalty. Surprised they called it but you won’t see a more obvious time to call that penalty. Weirdly enough, DEN got away with that a few years ago on a Colts missed FG to win it when it wasn’t called.
