Yeah, this not the year to talk. The Pac's bowl season isn't as bad as the record looks, but the record looks really bad.

This WF A&M game is like arena football.

New Mexico State wins the Arizona Bowl in OT and the fans storm the field.

Sam Darnold and SC crapping the bed against Ohio State.

I am beginning to wonder if Rosen/Darnold are really as talented as the scouts think or was it just a case of two better than average QB's running up gaudy numbers against a bunch of mediocre PAC12 opponents with really bad defenses.

Hard not to agree with this. Conference looking terribly weak this year. In most cases the bowl games have been Bad losses!!!

So far this Fiesta Bowl has been all Penn St. The BIG 10 is handing the PAC-12 it's ass.

Great lineup Monday.

Michigan vs South Carolina
UCF vs Auburn
Notre Dame vs LSU
Georgia vs Oklahoma
Alabama vs Clemson

I thought Georgia was supposed to have a great defense?

EDIT: Guess I jinxed it

Now Mike Stoops D is melting down

This Rose Bowl is a hell of a game.

Looks like OT for the 1st semi final

Go Clemson. I don't want to see all-SEC championship.

I'm no Alabama fan but I gotta admit, as a lifelong Bears fan, I loved seeing their big fat Defensive Lineman catch a TD pass... a la William "The Refrigerator" Perry.

That UGA/OU game was on par with the best of the playoff/BCS games of all time. Maybe not USC/UT just because it was only a semifinal, but easily in the OU/Boise, probably even FSU/Auburn level games.

A couple of interesting tidbits on tonight's game:

1) Saban is 11-0 vs ex assistant coaches.

2) Georgia beat Alabama in men's basketball. This is the 4th time in the BCS/CFP era where the eventual CFP Championship Game participants met in basketball prior to the title game. Each of the previous 3 times, the winner of the basketball game also won the football game.

That missed facemask call against Alabama was insanely bad. Really I have no idea how that was missed with about 11 minutes left in the third quarter.

One day Alabama will be bad again and then college football will be interesting once more.

If they lose anyway, half of the white males in Alabama will be getting their guns ready to kill.

Alabama had Khalil Tate on their bench all year until the 2nd half of the national championship game...

Unreal

Wow, Freshman wins it for Bama. So depressed that AZ will never have that feeling.

Would be frustrating to be a fan of football in the state of Georgia the last 12 months. Blowing a lead and losing in OT in the super bowl and the college football championship game.

I don't know about that but would be nice. I watched maybe 5 minutes of the "playoffs" this year. Same ol same ol.

I have specifically not listened to anything cowherd has said since about 2009.

I heard Bama didnt deserve to be there. Sure seemed like they did. Impressive CFP run by them.

I don't remember Bama ever being bad. Hated them back in the Bear Bryant days. In 25 seasons Bear never had a losing season and in 13 seasons had 10 or more wins. That with only 11 regular season games and very few bowl games.

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Tue Jan 09, 2018 11:40 am

Alabama has won 9+ games in 44 of the last 58 seasons including 12 national championships

catgrad97 · Post by **catgrad97** » Tue Jan 09, 2018 12:44 pm

Ray Perkins era was pretty shoddy by Tide standards. Just still incredible, in retrospect, that Mike Price was HC there for a month.

Alabama is always going to be a football juggernaut because, without going too into depth about it on this forum, football trumps Christianity as religion in the state.

Nick Saban would thrash both Roy Moore and Doug Jones. In any election. The cult of personality has replaced our democratic process.

Sadly, that kind of cult is pretty much what it takes to be that good in football for so long. Look at Pennsylvania, where Joe Paterno might as well have been governor.

I'd rather never have Arizona in a Rose Bowl if it means surrendering to that kind of sociology.

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Tue Jan 09, 2018 12:53 pm

Between 1995-2007, Alabama had 8 seasons with 3-7 wins. Outside of a couple years they were irrelevant on the national and even sec stage. They can be there again.
