That's a really long layoff for Bama.

Also Clemson-Oklahoma is going to be a really fun game.

Why is literally anyone but Bama fans happy about this? OSU sucks but is Bama a better option? In terms of football it's the right choice but goddamn.

Eh, the lesson here is mostly pays to be Bama. I dont think any other team in the country gets that same benefit of the doubt. Theyre basically champions Emeritus with the right to challenge for the title at any time.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

A wise Buckeye fan with money to burn wanting to go to a bowl game would book tickets to Phoenix right the gently caress now before prices jump.

I have no inside info, I'm just sensing the inevitability of yet another Fiesta Bowl.

No matter if it was Alabama, Wisconsin, or Ohio State, they who play Clemson are going to get their head kicked in.

Bama scheduled Florida State, Clemson scheduled Auburn, Georgia scheduled Notre Dame and Oklahoma scheduled Ohio State.

I can't wait for Saban to eventually retire so we can go a year in the CFP without Alabama in it. It's going to be another 10 years before this happens, but I'll be ready.

I think Oklahoma will run a train on Georgia; the wildcard is Alabama-Clemson, because Alabama hasn't looked sharp the last few weeks in facing actual, decent competition, but Clemson is Clemson. My hope is that Clemson will win by a couple of touchdowns at least and really embarrass Alabama on the national stage so that people stop treating Alabama like it was 5 years ago.

This is the purpose of all football in Iowa. To ruin the seasons of much better funded teams.

I long for the day we see Iowa vs Iowa State in a playoff game, just to see the state shut down and migrate for the game.
