Great finish to the Army - SDSU bowl game.

Yeah, tell me about it. I think this one and the Navy game took a few years off my life.

NCSU won their bowl game.

Wake Forest won a game without defense over Texas A&M.  That was a fun game to watch if you did not want to have any pesky defense interfere with scoring.

It is bizarre thinking that the Vikings have a legitimate shot at playing in their home stadium for the Super Bowl next month.  I just can't wrap my head around it.  :o

You should bet on it, Martok.  Vikes-Pats and the Vikings will finally break the 0-fer they are on.

It's looking good for the purple, Martok. Philly may be the only first seeded team in recent memory to go down in their first playoff game, leaving the Vikes with home field advantage. For the record, some of the first football I remember watching was the Vikes vs. Raiders. I had a bet with my dad on that game, loser did dishes. I picked the Vikes because of their cool purple uniforms!

Dang....that was a lot of dishes!

Just watched both on TV. Hard to cart a passel of small kids around to cold-weather sporting events :).

I take the older kids to the home games here though. The stadium is walking distance from the house.

Well, Michigan just blew the Big 10's perfect bowl record for this year. 

Auburn fell to UCF and LSU lost to Norte Dame.  SEC has not been looking good this bowl season.  Let's see if Georgia and Bama can redeem the conference.

so does UCF going 13-0 mean any changes to the playoff format or ranking system in the near future? would love to see them be awarded co national champs. not like it hasnt been done before.

While I obviously was rooting for Oklahoma....what a game!!! Gotta be one of the best college football games I've ever seen. Good show, Sooners and congrats Bulldogs.

bayonetbrant

Yeah, that's twice now that OU had been on the short end of dinner fantastic bowl finishes

Tell me about it. Always the bridesmaid.....

At least one and perhaps both teams playing for the finals will be teams that Auburn beat.  Not that it matters at all.  After all, satan's children beat UNC last season and the Tarheels are national champs.

The Rose Bowl was one of the best games of all time unless you're a Defensive Coordinator. The Tide's defense looked unbeatable last night but their offense continues to limp along so, the Bulldogs maybe the smart bet on the 8th. I've followed UCF all year long and was really happy they won yesterday. Congrats Knights.  O0   But I hear coach Frost is taking his entire staff with him to Nebraska so next year they'll probably be back in the cellar.
