Haha I'm just messing with ya. I'm super happy!

Those can't taste good, at all.

Wherever FSU goes bowling GA should follow and end this discussion but I think Kirby will run from a tough bowl game based upon his regular season schedule.

Where do you all come up with this stuff?

Liberty Bowl will be Iowa State vs Memphis…has the bowl ever had the home town team as a participant?

 

[TrueOrange]

The Music City Bowl will be Auburn vs Maryland

I think they’re going to have plenty of bulletin board material:

“Jamey Chadwell on the Selection Show when asked how long he’ll be celebrating until preparing for Oregon: ‘When I saw we were playing Oregon you might as well keep celebrating.’”

I think he meant because this might be as good as it gets i.e. celebrate just making the game cause Oregon will murder us. I took it as a self deprecating remark and a nod of respect to Oregon.

I love Cheez Its !

And they can't spell Citrus without ut.

Why didn’t Ga & OU just change to a single game contract at a neutral site? Dallas/Atl/ NO. Could have made a lot of money.

Because I think both were happy the game got cancelled.

I also wonder if the SEC was pushing for both UGA and Bama for the playoffs.

Citrus bowl is official,just saw it on UT Sports site!I'm tickled to death!

 

[TrueOrange]

The Texas Bowl will be Texas A&M vs Oklahoma State.

Where UT is going

Orange Bowl sponsored by Cheez Its Bowl.

Smokey LOVES Cheez its.

Liberty Bowl will be Iowa State vs Memphis…has the bowl ever had the home town team as a participant?

Ironically, just a few years back (2017) the same two teams played in the Liberty Bowl. ISU won 21-20.

 

[TrueOrange]

The Gator Bowl will be Kentucky vs Clemson.

 

[TrueOrange]

The Reliaquest Bowl is LSU vs Wisconsin.

Like Steve Spurrier once said. can't spell Citrus without UT !!!

I don't particularly appreciate seeing schools game the system with weak SOS and start crying about not making it to the CFPs.

They went undefeated in a Power 5 conference while beating two SEC teams on the road. What more could they have been expected to do? Either FSU should be in or the selection criteria should explicitly exclude the ACC from consideration.

 

[DuckInAPen]

If Bama wins it all, should they have been there?? If they are the best team in the playoff at this point in the season, do they belong there??

If do-overs are now a thing in college football, perhaps so.

 

[Grudenator]

Iowa is going to be a boring game lol

I respect your position, and to be honest, who knows what goes through the minds of a selection committee, it is more about who is popular vs. who is deserving...jmo

If that's the case (and a team from a conference that won three of the last ten national championship games -- over SEC teams -- need not apply), then the old bowl system with its crowning-by-vote was, in my opinion, both fairer and more interesting.
