The playoffs is such a different beast - I mean do people remember after the ‘96 13-9 game (so similar to this game) - we won the Rose Bowl

I think teams like this given a second chance take advantage in the post season - as you say they have a nice break - won't get beat up by Oregon 

Given the state of college football and our two top 5 wins - which look better after this week I'd be shocked if we didn't host a playoff game - likely as the 6 or 7 seed…

We have lost two games by 4 points - and have beaten two top 5 teams at the time and have two top 10 wins... 

I don't think Howard was not ever right after the hard hit (also immature not to dive and try to run over the defender) Go to Brown and or Sayin…. But he will be full go for playoffs and I imagine play like a chanpion

I think I this team will get some much needed rest and be the team no one wants to draw in R1 or R2 for that matter
