Nissin Cup Nudist posted:In the CFP era, Rose Bowl is determined by playoff rankings. Wisconsin is basically out of it no matter what barring a win (lol) At the time, I was upset about that. But after watching the bowl games, I felt relieved that we didn't get the Rose Bowl. I absolutely despite Penn State & James Franklin and they would have obliterated CU if we played. If they did and Penn State won the Rose Bowl after embarrassing CU, I would have felt sick.... CU was somewhat overrated at end of the season but on top of that, about half our defensive starters were either out for the game with injury or playing with injuries that were bad enough that they shouldn't have been on the field. We would have lost to pretty much anyone we played in that bowl game

You go from being excited that you won to being anxious about losing. I definitely can see that. I remember a few years ago, I was sitting in a sports bar near some stodgy old Bama fan. And that guy was cursing up a storm every time a slightly negative (or even less than amazingly positive) play occurred, while watching the Bama game. It didn't look like he was having any fun at all and actually hated watching Bama..... The game that was making him so grumpy? One in which Bama had a multiple touchdown lead in the first half against an FCS opponent.... like anyone that knew anything about football already knew that the outcome was never in any doubt, but that old man just was finding every tiny negative he could to rant about to the bartender It made me think to myself "I'm really glad I'm not a Bama fan", seems like it just makes it no fun to win when you absolutely expect to win every game, as there is no chance of pleasant surprise, just crushing disappointment if you lose. Also reminds me of how I felt during the Broncos super bowl run in 2013. Broncos were blowing every team out and I just expected to win every game (and we did). At the end of the season, right before the Super Bowl, I actually thought to myself that the Super Bowl was going to feel a little hollow because we didn't really have to go through any struggles to get to it. The journey just wasn't exciting, there were no struggles or surprises, just smooth sailing the whole way and the season felt a little less enjoyable because of it..... Of course then the Broncos proceeded to get their asses beat by Seattle, which just made things feel worse, considering we fully expected to cruise to a Super Bowl win, since that's what we had done all season

he's the GOAT as far as college goes, and I don't know that anybody is particularly close
