This bowl season was one that Pac-12 teams would not mind forgetting. With three-fourths of the conference headed to bowl games, there was potential for the Pac-12 to have an impressive showing and prove that despite not having a team qualify for the College Football Playoff, it is still one of the better Power-5 conferences.

UGA’s defense has figured it out. I think they’ve got this now.

Overtime.

I don’t like the fact that two teams in a national semi-final give up 45 points. What’s happened to defense?

This old exLB thinks the defenses haven’t been terrible, but both offenses have really stepped up clutch.

Great game!

Although I confess, I don’t like to see Georgia fans happy. :(

If the SEC is weak, why did they beat #1 & #2?

‘Big 10 is dominating though.’

every single BIG bowl game they were favored...blessed with a weak slate of matchups, they were able to avoid their usual 3-7 or 4-6 record...

‘Ohio state or USC.’

you mean the same OSU that lost by 31 points to Iowa, and USC that lost by 35 to ND, as well as losing one more game during the season than the Tide...you mean that OSU and that USC...?
