I think the committee got it right once again.

Please, Santa, no more Michigan-Florida though. Hoping for Michigan-LSU in the Fiesta Bowl...

Re: Bowl Season Discussion

Man, OU and Bama is going to be a heck of a ballgame.

The matchup between Haskins/OSU’s passing game against the Huskies’ secondary is going to be fun.

Re: Bowl Season Discussion

In Rob Mullen’s own words “We put Michigan in the Peach Bowl because as the highest ranked At Large, they deserve to be closest to home.” Cmon man. Just c’mon.

Wish we could see UGA embarrass UCF to end the conversation and LSU-Texas instead of UGA-Texas and UCF-LSU. Just feel it’d be way better matchups.

This doesn't make sense. Howe would an embarrassment of a game make for a better matchup than a game that might be more competitive?

Re: Bowl Season Discussion

Vs. Syracuse in the Camping World Bowl. Good matchup. Time to get revenge for the 2012 Yankee Bowl. WVU has lost the last three matchups against Syracuse, their last win coming in 2009 at the Carrier Dome.

Re: Bowl Season Discussion

Pitt gets Stanford eh? After their last two games I'm not confident.

IMO UGA-Texas won’t be close anyways. Georgia will dominate. With UCFs defense I also don’t feel like that matchup will be very close either. But UCF fans using last seasons bowl win as their main case to be in the playoffs has gotten to the last of my nerves.

Well, just wait until they win their bowl game to become back to back National Champions.

Didnt even realise there were more teams eligible this year than there were bowls available. But I guess that's good, better than having 5-7 record teams in. Got kinda used to seeing those 5-7 teams in

Re: Bowl Season Discussion

Never thought OU would make the playoff this year. That being said Bama wins probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 51-31.

It was the matchup I was hoping for, I think it will be a really fun game.

Re: Bowl Season Discussion

Hasn't exactly been a great year for UW, but at the end of the day they won the conference, third straight year with double digit wins, and I get to go see them in the Rose Bowl so that's pretty cool.
