The Pac 12 has had a terrible bowl season.  According to my count, 7 teams in bowl games and only one (Utah) won their game.  I think the Mountain West did pretty well in bowl play.  But the Big 10 has been impressive!!!!

Big 10 (14) are 6-0 so far. A pretty good year for them as they have struggled in the past.
Just WI & MI left to play.

Now 7-0. A good run. One more game to go. Big 10 has a good batch of QB’s this year.  A bowl record 545 yards by Penn State.

I am hoping that is a good game too, and that they if they win, maybe it shows that they deserved the rank and game, and shows the "real" conferences that us peons, like the Mountain West, can play with the best.

Really looking forward to the ucf/auburn game tomorrow. Reminds me a bit of Boise st /Oklahoma Years back...I like ucf for the upset!  (And to get our coach Frost an undefeated season:))

There are a lot of us Nebraskans who agree.  Right now the Huskers are sharing Scott Frost with UCF.

The Nebraska football fans have high hopes for him: born and raised in Nebraska, played QB at Nebraska (National Championship) and now returning as head coach.

Today is a big day.  Exciting, but sad as the end of the season is almost upon and months of darkness and despair descend until next August. ;)

Nice to see the local kid have a big day in what was probably his last college football game today.

Barkley sent out a nice instagram post yesterday thanking lots of folks for his time at Penn St and announcing he is entering the NFL draft.  He is ranked #1/#2 by two guys on ESPN.  I've only seen one mock draft and it had him going to the 49ers in what they projected to be pick #9.

Hope I can stay awake to watch the 2nd playoff game tonight.  I have to get up for work tomorrow for the first time in over two weeks. :(

9 teams total & only 1 win. Must be their worst year.

As a die hard Husky fan, I must say that this year was a total loss for the Pac 12 football program. Power 5 conference? Pfffttt...

I agree our teams stunk this year but we did make the big ten look good...


Just some info about conference opponents.

It was nice to see Scott Frost, staff, and team see through an undefeated season.  And boy, Michigan stank up the joint in the last 17 minutes of the game.  Harbaugh may be on the hot seat with alumni.  Let's hope these playoff games are competitive.

LSU losing was a a bummer, but I sure am enjoying watching Baker Mayfield play
 I just hope the ribs turn out OK. 
* Not so much in the second half.

What a great Rose bowl game. Now the other one...#4 favored over #1 hows that work?

OK now I know I will get bashed for this but this is my  :2cents:
We get to have a championship game on SEC network to get 2 conference teams to play each other... In 22 years this is only the 6th time the conference foes have meet. Nice to see it pays off to spend money on a sure non conference win. You would think the best football conference would want to play the best. Not just the bottom of the SEC and pay for the some of other wins.

Yeah, I am a huge Bama fan, but even I am having trouble getting all excited about what will be an SEC Championship game.  But the bowl system gets what it deserves on this one.  I never thought Bama should be one of the final 4.

But maybe this will give some momentum to an 8 team playoff system.  I bet if we had had 8 teams in the mix, including Wisconsin and Ohio State, we would see a different set of teams playing.  And, if not, folks would have had the feeling it was more fair and not a Saban/Bama love fest.

Don't see how the 'Bama defense can shut down the Dawg offense.  Have to go with the Dawgs next Monday.
Should be interesting.  The Irresistible Force meets the Immovable Object.
