Pac 12 Title Game:
Stupid Oregon letting UCLA cover - actually I didn't care since I was out of it anyway. I don't think anyone was shocked by this one. Did the league put this on Friday night since they figured there was no reason to stage it with any other game?
Conference USA Bowl
Didn't know a lot about Houston or SoMiss going into this one other than Houston just rained points all year long. I've always known So Miss to be a good defensive squad though. Apparently that still is the case. Truthfully, as much as I wanted the system to be mucked up against a rematch this year, Houston wasn't going to fix that either way.
Big 12 Title Game...
Oh wait - they don't have one since there are only ten of them. Soooo Texas, want to try to muck everything up for everyone, how about getting pasted by Baylor? How's that for you? (As an aside, this Texas loss to Baylor will likely move the Longhorns into Jeff Sagarin's Top Ten).
RGIII ran for two TDs and threw for 2 more with 330 yards passing. For the year he's put up 34 TDs to 5 INTs and ran for 7 more. He took BAYLOR to a 9-3 record. Show me a better Heisman resume.
TCU
If we are going to give the Big East champ crap about getting a BCS bid, then we really shouldn't be getting jazzed about the possibility of a 10-2 team that lost to Southern Methodist simply because it crushed UNLV.
SEC Title Game
Could've been a tad more interesting if Georgia could, oh I don't know, CATCH.Somehow you just knew that when the Dawgs didn't capitalize on the 8 bajillion opportunities LSU gave them, that the Tigers would pick up some steam and handle their matters. And, well, that's exactly what happened.
Message to Tyrann Mathieu: DeSean Jackson is not a person to emulate. Seriously, carry the ball OVER the goal line. Down it in the end zone. And hand it to an official that is expecting to get it. I do not understand these players that drop a ball within millimeters of what they think is crossing the goal line as though the possession of the ball any deeper into the endzone would result in his head exploding a la The Running Man.Maybe it's because I'm a middle aged guy now but I HATE that move with a passion.
The REAL Big 12 Title Game
Oklahoma State simply stomped Oklahoma. I may be naive but in my book it was much more impressive than what Alabama did to "bye week". Come on voters, don't give me the rematch - give me the Cowboys and Tigers, elsewise, I'll be referring to the Title game as the "November 5, 2011 Bowl".
The ACC Title Game
That, in a nutshell, was what we Hokie fans like to call the old second half Beamer bust. Once the wheels are off, they are WAY off.
The Big 10 Title Game
The most boring of conferences put on the best title game by a long shot. For those that did watch it you missed one of the most incredible incomplete passes of all time. For those that watched it, you saw additional evidence that the only person that could actually stop Russell Wilson was Tom O'Brien when he coached him at NC State.
Well, tomorrow we'll know the fate of the title game. Until then, begin planning your second chance pool strategies!
