TCU is a good, maybe great, team. I wouldn't judge Michigan too harshly for losing this one... if that's how it ends...

WOW! Crazy one between TCU and MIC. I've been telling people not to fall asleep on TCU.
OSU made a better game of it than I thought they would!

I have to say those were some of the best bowl games in recent memory. In both cases, one team dominated but other stormed back. TCU/Mich was a fantastic job, too bad that the Wolverines came up short. I was hoping they'd be able to pull one out of the fire.
OSU vs. Geo was another fantastic game, It looked like OSU was just a bit better but somehow Geo came back and did what Mich couldn't - win the game.

Bittersweet weekend for me. LOVED the Notre Dame game to start the weekend off, and being an Ohio State fan, I was giddy to see Michigan lose (along with seeing some fresh blood in TCU get into the championship). But then Georgia happened....
Two outta three ain't bad, I guess! All three of those games were awesome games no matter which team you were rooting for—much better than blowout games that are boring after the first quarter.

Well I was for Mic so...
Seriously I would like to see someone else other than UoG win the title.
Right now it isn't looking good...
Me too, but look at the alternative - Ohio State. I really want a new slate of combatants. At least we have TCU heading into the championship game. Given my track record in guessing who will win - I'm keeping quiet and I'll just watch the game
I guess the refs in the Michigan vs. TCU game just wanted to go home. No time for one more meaningless play, I suppose, but that was most definitely targeting on TCU on what turned out to be Michigan's final offensive play.
Plus, I think the reversal of what would have been Michigan's first TD was wrong. Next play: fumble, touchback. A TD there for the Wolverines might have really changed the rest of the game. The receiver clearly did not control the ball until he rolled across the goal line.
Michigan also received a gift call. The roughing the passer on TCU was a bad call.
Maybe it was too late, and I was too tired, but I don't remember bad calls in the Georgia vs. Ohio State game.

Before replay, it would have been a TD and no one would have complained. It would have been a tough call either way.

I'm always looking at lists of champions in all the sports I follow. It's definitely been an SEC Century so far in the 21st, with the ACC a distant second. But there are rumbling in the B1G of a return to its glory days. With realignment, it's a new day, and historical comparisons are more difficult.
Given the current set up, I'm largely over NCAA football. I generally don't even watch the game, something about New Years = bowl games and after that, its time to move on.
I'm not sure how I feel about this coming game, I really am tired of the SEC being there every year. I don't know if TCU has it in them to beat the Bulldogs but outside of Georgia, I think most people are rooting for them

SEC Conference Champ Loser - LSU 49
B10 Conference Champ Loser - Purdue 0
They have a ways to go.
Let's face it, boys who can ball don't want to spend their winters in Columbus or Ann Arbor when they can be in Athens, Tuscaloosa, Baton Rouge or any other not-cold place.
I have to imagine ratings were down, buy Monday evening, I was largely done watching football, hell. I barely watched any games yesterday. To me, its one thing having a single day where all of the major bowl games are played and watch any/all of them and quite another stretching those major games across a long weekend. I was largely done watching football by sunday.
I had too many things to do yesterday to justify sitting and watching.
Yes, they have "a ways to go" but one game does not make a trend. Plus, the B1G divisions are lopsided. All the better teams are in the east. Purdue was maybe the 4th best team in the conference this year, and that's being generous. The B1G did not fare well at all in head-to-head bowls vs. SEC teams this year, but overall, I think 5-4 vs. 6-5 shows some parity. Having two B1G teams in the final four rather than two SEC teams is progress.
As to bowl game fatigue, it's only going to get worse when the playoff expands. But the Rose Bowl has always begun the late afternoon (later the farther east you are, of course).
If you didn't watch the Cotton Bowl (and I decided to record it only at the last minute) you missed the most dramatic comeback in the history of American Football, at any level. It's unlikely this will ever be topped before the world comes to an end. Yeah, it was that good!
[I watch every game on delay so that I can skip the commercials, or pause for a moment to watch them during the Super Bowl. (I still skip the half time show.)]

Sad to see Mic lose... but was happy to see Ohio lose too!
Pulling for TCU now as I being an Alabama fan... going all the way back to 1992 when I started watching College Football... no bandwagon here, the hate for Georgia Football is pretty strong.

That would be me. I wasn't sure I would make it to midnight anyway, but got engrossed in this game and then wife comes in to wish me HNY!.
