Who do you think will win? Who are you rooting for? Will you watch both games?
Oregon and Ohio State but I could see the other teams winning as well. Should be some great games to watch tommorow not just those two
Wait, what happened? When was the Birmingham Bowl removed from the playoff structure?
#33

Don't worry; the Gators will get their own bowl game thread on January 3.
Right now I am only thinking about the playoffs because they come first.
This ga tech/ miss st score is really surprising. I expected a close game.
You shouldn't have. The triple-option is hell to prepare for and CLANGA's run defense was never particularly good.

Who is Clanga?
Miss state was highly over rated all season. Another team who should have never been a top 4 team this year.

Well you should be happy now because they are not in the top four anymore.
Bamma lost to Ole Miss and barely beat MSU. How the heck did they get so lucky to play OSU. Imagine if they played TCU or Baylor?

You're talking about two teams that were ranked in the top five halfway into the regular season. Baylor's only loss was to unranked West Viriginia, who almost beat TCU. I would still pick Alabama to win.
The same thing can be said about the Rose Bowl. How did Oregon get so lucky to play against Florida State, who almost lost to several unranked teams including Boston College and Florida? What if a Big 12 team was in Pasadena?

Ohio St. lost to Virginia Tech. It should be TCU and Bama

I agree TCU is more deserving than OSU, but if the Big 12 had named a single champion, it would have been Baylor.

Maybe those unranked teams aren't as bad as everyone thinks. Look what Clemson, Notre Dame and Georgia Tech have done in the bowl games.

Yea SEC west has not been performing well in the bowl games, LSU, Ole miss, and now Miss st losing...but wait I thought SEC was soo much better than the other conferences lol.

Clemson and GT were both ranked in the top 20. LSU shouldn't have been ranked, honestly.

FSU would lose five games in the SEC West.

Teams who have multiple weeks to prepare for it usually have more success stoping it than they would if they only had a week to prepare.
Quote:FSU would lose five games in the SEC West.
Well the last time they played a team from the almighty sec west I think they won... Oh yeah they did.

Amazing. A Florida State fan admitted his team does not belong in the playoffs.
