Minus the beatdown of Iowa State by Arizona State in the Big 12 Championship Game…I very much enjoyed watching the other three power conference championship games. Man, Cam Scattebo made Iowa State literally look like a high school team out there at Jerry’s World. I’ll be interested to see how he does in the playoff against a team from a conference where tackling is a thing. He’s fun to watch for certain though.
Georgia beat Texas in overtime with their backup QB having to sub for Carson Beck in the second half.
To me, Dillion Gabrial should be the Heisman winner with Travis Hunter coming in second place, but I’m guessing that might not be the case because of the unique resume Travis Hunter brings to the table playing both sides of the ball. But again, Travis plays in a conference lacking physicality and not much tackling in space at a high level.
But anyway, Oregon outlasted Penn State by a touchdown to win the Big 10 title with a perfect 13-0 season. I do question though how that Oregon defense will hold up in the CFPs.
Clemson stunned SMU with a walk-off 55 yard field goal to win the ACC title game 34-31 and gain the automatic bid.
And on Friday night…I made it to halftime of the Boise State-UNLV game before I became bored and switched to a west coast NBA game. I’m sorry, but that was not an exciting game as the Broncos beat UNLV 21-7 in what I would describe as a sleepfest yawner. I hate the blue grass–it makes me feeel sleepy.
Okay…so what I’m going to do to here is simply list my Top 12 teams without any regard for the four byes of which three should go to Oregon, Georgia, and Notre Dame.
1 Oregon
2 Georgia
3 Notre Dame
4 Texas
5 Tennessee
6 Penn State
7 Ohio State
8 Indiana
9 Arizona State
10 SMU
11 Clemson
12 Boise State
If the field was sixteen teams as it should be so as to do away with the four byes and just basically have a Sweet Sixteen for the CFP….I would have gone–13 Alabama, 14 South Carolina, 15 Ole Miss, and 16 the dog walk pissing Colorado Golden Buffaloes with Travis Hunter and Shadeur Sanders.
So, in essence..I would have had No. 1 Oregon going against Colorado in the round of sixteen. Ya think that would have drawn some big time television numbers?
I definitely think they should tweak this 12-team format next year, stop dicking around, and give college football fans what they want with a Sweet 16 for college football.
That’s it for me today. My Packers have to play the Detroit Lions this go round. This is where I find out about my Packers.
Merry Christmas.
