Sheesh...

Bulldogs and Horned Frogs! I feel a song coming on!

[catnipman]

please don’t add scores to the title of your article. Uhh, I don't believe I did. The part before the parenthesis was verbatim from CBS Sports.com. The part in parentheses I added myself but I was brief.

If I failed, I apologize. I was mostly shocked nobody had posted it before I got there.

I feel it is unfair that Georgia played the national semi-final as a virtual home game. It's not like the NCAA needs to sell tickets here. They should have put the Georgia-OSU game in Arizona and the TCU-Michigan game in Atlanta to be more fair.

BTW, I hate it that every year in the basketball tourney they put either Duke or North Carolina in their home state as a first round game. Nobody else gets favoritism like that. Dean Smith use to cry like a baby if he didn't get to play the first game in his home state.

Although it tarnished the Big10 somewhat yesterday I guess I can understand now why the Big 10 commissioner Kevin Warren wants to resign in order to run the Chicago Bears. It seems like a a step down to me but maybe not. Warren wanted to expand beyond USC and UCLA but THE Ohio State University stepped in and said "no". Seems they have more power than the commish.

No problem. Happy New Year.

Just another home game for the SEC in a bowl game.

Pretty sure cities compete for those games and the games are awarded long before they know who will make the playoffs.

Norm Bulaich is happy

“biggest upset in CFP history!”

Yes, historical. There has only been playoffs for what, 4 years?

The two semi final games rotate amongst the big six bowl games every year. This just happened to be the Peach Bowl’s year to get 1 and 4. The games are always played back to back on the 31st (except for 2020 when the were on Jan 1st, 2021 to accommodate the Rose Bowl tradition which in the end got moved to Jerry’s house in Arlington Texas.

Interestingly, #9 Georgia played #8 Cincinnati in the 2020 Peach Bowl to the highest rating for a non playoff game.

Also note, more people watched the two semi final games than did the final a week later which was a 52-24 rout of Ohio State by Alabama.

The talent, hard work and dedication of the 4 team’s players, coaches, families, fans…was a joy to observe. That was some serious football. Thank you.

Michigan played very arrogantly..they were def looking ahead to the Championship game....thats falls on coaching...

[dfwgator]

Championship games are usually anti-climactic. I sense this one will be too.

[OrangeHoof]

Technically eight years, since 2014. And beginning in 2024, this will expand to 12 teams and not be such an exclusive club.

Agreed but the assignment of the teams is after the sites are chosen and, if this is a fair tournament, the teams should not have an unfair advantage based on location where it can be avoided and, in this case, it could have.

Why, then, do they make sure to assign an officiating crew who is not from the same conference as either team?

[dfwgator]

I hate neutral site games. Games should be played at the home stadium of the higher ranked team.
