Bowl Gamethread - Screw it, all the bowls.
- Thread starter Infield Infidel
- Start date
Ironically college football, namely 1994 Penn State and 2004 Auburn. However, the playoffs will most certainly prevent that from happening again.DannyHeep said:

Well I'm off tomorrow regardless. Gonna have another Southern Tier Unearthly and a shot of Fireball. And I don't care what anyone says, Fireball is delicious and I'm 31.

A lot of folks felt ND would get murdered by Alabama two years ago, too. And they did. They still made the game b/c the record got them there. If you win all your games, which is a perfect result, metrics are thrown out the window.

Is that like the old Fire and Ice liquors that were popular in the 90's? I don't drink anymore but I loved that crap back in the day.
Jones is hard to tackle. I hope that holds for the rest of the game.
Right, which is why they need a playoff that doesn't exclude deserving teams. I think everyone agrees that means a minimum of 6 teams and probably not more than 8.johnmd20 said:
Vaunted SEC defenses. The other conferences just don't have the athletes to compete with an SEC team.
Feels like these teams are playing in slow motion compared to Oregon. Bama has its hands full tonight.
If that guys back pad wasn't flapping in the breeze he probably scores. Too much air resistance.
Problem is it could be close for a half and then go completely one-sided like the previous game.Freddy Linn said:

Coupled with a phenomenal run by Elliott. It's not like he was gifted those yards.

Honestly never tried that stuff. It tastes just like those atomic fireball candies. You have no idea you're drinking whisky. And I always loved those cinnamon candies growing up.
Right, which is why I think it's insane how close it came to happening again this year, and how many people are genuinely upset that a 13-0 defending champ from a major conference made a four-team playoff. It's lunacy.DannyHeep said:
That's grounding.
But refs don't call it if you chuck it out the back of the end zone.
Unless you're Tom Brady vs. SEA a few years ago.

Soooo chucking it out of the end zone isn't grounding?!?! As if Brady wasn't hating tOSU enough all ready.

Understood, he's clearly suffered enough.
That said, your scenario is a perfect example of why people shouldn't trash talk; don't do it if you can't man up afterward.
As soon as an 8 seed wins the tournament - and it will happen - every 9th best team until the end of time will have a very legitimate beef.DannyHeep said:
Mitigation works right up until it's your team that gets mitigated out of the tournament. It's a fool's errand.Fred in Lynn said:

And there's the rub; as others have said, no matter what you do, someone will bitch.
I'm just glad the NCAA came out of the stone age and finally have a playoff format in place, it's about time.
