Taking this game by itself, it's hard for me not to root for Ole Miss given what they went through with the Kiffen saga. Though like I think many of you, if a certain outcome happens tomorrow, we'd love to see a matchup of a former and current Duck HC.

Whether we win or not.... Ole Miss over Miami all day. I can't stand MC.

I will say though, if this game was played in a more neutral stadium (and not a home game for Miami) I may have preferred playing Miami over Ole Miss to help our odds (assuming we win our semifinal game).

For whatever reason, I find myself rooting for Miami in the CFP. It seems like Cristobal has built the team he was trying to build at Oregon, but never quite could.

It seems pretty egregious. Penn State is the worst ducks opponent with the extra BS but Miami might take the mantle if things play out.

Refs need to really zero in and catch miami s late hits and cheap shots.

Not really impressed by both teams in the first half.

If our offense is on, there is no way we lose to either of these teams.

The football game and Mario Cristobal have gotten about equal airtime during this game.

Oh look, a shot of MC pacing.

Seems like both teams have gotten away with OL holding.

It's going to suck if Cristobal makes the NCG before Lanning does.
