They also were a fluke heave from losing to an average at best Auburn team. 95%+ of the time that play fails and had it this time they would never have even been considered for the playoffs. [Reply]

Wait...you're seriously going on about me saying that they were terrified in a video a month ago? Did you happen to watch the video?
The collective reaction in it could be described as something between anguish, disappointment, and fear. And who could blame them? They would have beaten FSU easily by 50 points as opposed to what we just watched. [Reply]

And yet they still took the best team in the country to overtime and were one play away from winning by double digits in said game. I don't think there's any real argument after that one that they weren't a top 4 team in the country. They very obviously were. [Reply]

I got on the board today and was logged out. Hit the little icon for “latest post” and it took me to the page with that video and your comment. I’d never seen it before today. Watched the video and read your comment. It made me laugh.
Then of course Michigan won and weren’t “terrified” which also made me laugh. [Reply]

If you say so. If they are a top 4 team then who are your other 3 and why? [Reply]

What would you call that reaction in that video if it wasn't "terrified?" :-)
Disappointed? Scared? Some combination?
However you label it, it's pretty damn clear that they were hoping to play FSU rather than Alabama (as they should have been). [Reply]
Just a few of the top replies to the tweet. You're either lying here to prove some kind of point or you really need to get your hearing checked. [Reply]
