I learned that the Bowl Selection Committees are very poor matchmakers. Also the CFP committee.

They still have football on New Year’s Day?

Happens a lot. Major bowl blowouts.

Best contests are usually the “minor” bowl games.

I learned that the Bowl Selection Committees are very poor matchmakers. Also the CFP committee.

Given that they are, the damage can be somewhat mitigated by expanding the field to an 8-team playoff.

Do they still vote for a winner?

How are they going to know teams like the Hawkeyes are going to sleep through 3 quarters of the game against Stanford, or that the Seminoles would have no defense at all against Houston?

Only good thing I can say is daughters fiance is going to the Championship game in AZ with the band. She got to go with the band to Pasadena for 2014 Championship, they lost.

All the games were so lopsided.

I remember a weekend a month or so ago with the NFL, every game I flipped to on a Sunday in last two minutes were tied and won in last seconds or overtime. That is more exciting that lopsided victories.

War Eagle~!

The attention-seeking boob lurking behind McCaffrey during his post-game interview might actually be right: The Stanford star looked Heisman-worthy.

That interview was ridiculous and too long. However, at first I thought he was calling a female reporter an "attention seeking boob", and then I remembered the boorish nut behind McCaffrey. IMHO,"attention seeking boob" fairly could be applied to the guy behind McCaffrey AND the reporter.

Let’s do away with playoffs and National Championship games altogether and have sportswriters and coaches vote as to who should be the national champion, the way they used to.

College Football Playoffs 2016 -

“we make sure all our games are decided in the first 15 minutes, so you won’t be forced to endure 3 hours of football, because you’ve got more important things to do”

I learned that Jim McElwain is the second coming of Will Muschamp.

We also learned that Carly Fio-RINO is a pandering idiot who went against her alma mater in a cheap stunt that anyone could see right through.

“Alabama fans and Clemson fans are thrilled”........

same for Buckeye and Wolverine fans!

Way to Go - BLUE!

[MuttTheHoople]

Unfortunately, olemiss won. The school of Trent Lott and Sthepherd Sthmith.

[jwalsh07]

I learned that McCaffrey is one helluva football player.

[C. Edmund Wright]

The CFP committee did a good job....it’s just that Oklahoma and Michigan State did not. The two best teams are in the Finals. That’s all you can ask for.

As for the Bowls, there are so many automatic conference tie ins that much of this work is fill in the blank...not a match up on purpose.

Best bowl game this season so far? Duke 44-41 over Indiana.

Thug ball. Thug ball. Thug ball. Thug ball. Thug ball.
Thug ball. Thug ball. Thug ball. Thug ball. Thug ball.
Thug ball. Thug ball. Thug ball. Thug ball. Thug ball.

How about college exit exams?

I think employers would support the idea.

Maybe introduce an element of debt reduction, for passing.

As my second favorite Presidential candidate would say, “the Iowa Hawkeyes got ‘schlonged’”!

Interestingly, ESPN did not note the other thing they learned. The rating for the two playoff games on NYE were about a 9, down from 15 last year.

I suspect the playoff games won’t be on NYE ever again.
