2024-2025 College Football Playoff

aOSU better hope they have the ball last 'cause they can't stop Texas anymore.

Helm's personal foul didn't end up mattering, but the dumb part about it is he hadn't stepped out of bounds yet. He could have kept running.

 
Jack Sawyer has been amazing the past few weeks.  That was the play of the CFP so far.  I am so glad Texas and the SEC are not in the title game.  Two years in a row that the SEC is shut out of the title game....all since NIL took place.  SEC fans are having a hard time admitting that they are not as competitive if they are not the only conference paying players.

I agree with you but his right arm did technically make contact with the receivers left arm.  He definitely didn't knock him over though.  The receiver played the ball horribly and didn't react in time to the under thrown ball.  Live I thought it was a good call but watching again, I don't think it should have been called.  Didn't have an impact in the end though.

What y'all (I wanted to make the south feel like they were still part of the CFB playoff talk) are missing is that if Penn State was Nebraska, it would have been called OPI.

Watching it live, it didn't seem like there was a lot there.  But on the replays there is definitely contact, and even a little bit of contact (without any attempt to play the ball) could have prevented the receiver from at least making a play on the ball.

So - while not vicious - I think DPI was the correct call.

I agree with that part. 
 

But, how about the fact that the ball was intercepted before it ever got to the receiver?  Wouldn’t that be similar to it being a tipped ball by the defense so no pass interference?  
 

If I’m wrong on that, then what’s the rule on the tipped ball by the defense?  Does it have to be touched by a defensive player at the LOS?  If it’s past the LOS then that doesn’t matter?
