Title: Almost forgot

That tonight is the Championship between two SEC teams.  I'll probably knock off some of those honey-do's and play with the kids.

Is this some kind of exhibition game?  I thought UCF already won the natty.  :dunno:

Looking back at the 1910 championship team, Harvard beat 1 Div-1 team: Army (who also lost to Navy that year).  However, K-State beat otherwise-undefeated Arkansas (who had wins over Texas A&M and LSU)!  I think the loss to Colorado College should be redacted due to them counting a win vs Colorado Springs High (which is clearly cheating).

This game may be more boring than the LSU vs Alabama game a few years back.  It's as stupid a match up as Michigan vs Ohio State or USC vs UCLA or Texas vs Oklahoma.  Great for a conference game, but not for a MNC.

I'm enjoying this game. The talent level and speed on the field is impressive. Its not like Bama and Georgia are lining up in the I formation and trying to pound it. They both are running no huddle, spread offenses. The defenses are just winning more battles.

A crossing route or out. Seemed to describe any route that went lateral. That's a new one for me too.

I'm not endorsing NFL overtime. But I do think it's better. Mostly because the team that has the ball first in college is almost always too conservative.

Nothing more conservative than throwing a giant, long bomb to the end zone the very play after getting sacked to make it 2nd and 23. Especially when a field goal would've sufficed to take it to a 2nd OT. Supes conservo

I felt the exact opposite. Mostly because we were down and had to come back in the game just to force OT. I'm not saying I felt like we won, especially after A&M converted that 4th down in the in the 3rd OT, but because CK had taken the first play from scrimmage that OT in for a TD I felt like once we forced the 4th OT, we had it won. We absolutely drained their defense.

Lol true fact. CFB OT >>> NFL OT. At least NFL changed it to where if the first team only scores a FG, the other team still has a shot. It was laughable that beforehand essentially whoever won a stupid coin toss essentially won the game. I always like that CFB allows each team equal chance. I also disagree that most of OT is trying to position the ball for a FG, that only happens if the first team didn't score like at all and the second team has carte blanche to do that. Every team the first possession of the OT is trying to get a TD. It's exciting to see if they can, and if they do, it's exciting to see if the other team can match it. Getting into the 3OT or more is even better w/ the forced 2PT conversion.
