This has to be the worst bowl season for the Pac-12, ever?

Not just the PAC-12 my friend. Worst of any Power 5. And the way most of the games weren't even competitive.

My wife (MSU undergrad, as you all know) and sister-in-law (Purdue undergrad, MSU grad) were deciding who to root for in today's Michigan-South Carolina game.  Their solution:  they hope Michigan wins and Harbaugh gets ejected.

Well neither one happened; a thoroughly disappointing Outback Bowl in Casa di Savonarole.   :(
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

UCF: goes unbeaten, wins its conference, beats Auburn, and sitting at home.

Alabama: Has a loss, lost its division, lost to Auburn, playing for the championship.

Might have a few more kinks to work out in this playoff business.

Serves UCF right for not being in a power conference.

That was an awful game.  It was only close because the teams took turns sucking.  Neither one deserved to win.  That's the first game where I seriously questioned Harbaugh's ability to coach.   Michigan needs a new OC.  Playcalling was awful.

Rose Bowl. What an exhausting game.

Putting up with the antics of Baker Mayfield always is.

Glad Georgia made him cry.

The committee likes strength of schedule and marketability more than a perfect season.

Fuck, they even played a quarterback with a torn ACL (which no reputable program would do). 

Purdue did, and they are a reputable program. The doctors said no further injury would result. Good for them letting the QB play.

That's an argument against playing football, not against subverting a convention designed to avoid unnecessary injuries.

Football is unnecessary. All injuries sustained playing football are unnecessary.

If you can gain advantage on a play to possibly win the game, why not do it? If injury risk is cool in every formation other than the victory formation, why not accept injury risk in the victory formation too if you can occasionally gain a decisive advantage out of it?

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Why? It is clear you know nothing about how football is officiated, and don't care to learn.

You start this with a hypothetical scenario that the officials told Arizona not to rush, then you say you doubt that happened, then you bitch at me because I theorize about the only viable way to communicate that information.

Other than shouting presnap, how do you expect them to communicate it to Arizona? Personally pay a visit to each Arizona player and tell them not to rush? Tell it to one guy and hope he somehow spreads the word?

For years I've been telling you that:

a) James Franklin is an awesome coach, and is going to do good at Penn State, and
b) Jim Harbaugh hasn't really shown himself to be a great college coach, and is overrated.

Glad to see you are coming around.

Yeah, I'd rather see UCF next week( or realistically Clemson) too.

Is Clemson's coach always so volatile in going after his players on the sideline or was he just having a bad day?
