But.... but... it's NOT Jan 1??
I thought, in all of the yacking about scheduling the CFP games last year, the Rose Bowl DEMANDED that they only hold their game on Jan 1.
Unless, it would compete with the NFL I guess?

never on sunday for the rose bowl well then, if flexibility is POSSIBLE... why not be a little flexible with the scheduling when the CFP Semi-Final is scheduled to be in the Rose Bowl? |

That said... I am looking forward to this game. I think the B1G CHAMPION will redeem the conference a little today.
People said, in 2104, that the way Ohio State played in the CFP PROVED they "belonged" in the playoff.
Maybe so... but, by the same logic, their play this year proved they didn't belong this year. Especially not if PSU plays well today.

EITHER might well be good enough to have won, if we had a huge playoff field. They're both playing better at the END of the season, as opposed to the beginning. Keith Jackson on TV now... boy, retirement sure takes a toll on a person. (Of course, it's been 10 years!) But, he still knows FOOTBALL! I think he's right... USC should be REALLY good next year. |

LOVED that! Jackson is 88 years old... and, still looks and sounds GREAT!
Now, THERE is a 'celebrity death' I will mourn... IF, I live to see it.
LOve me some Keith Jackson!

The voice of college football. For me, for sure.... His LAST game as an announcer was, the Texas vs USC game in 2005. THAT, is my BEST argument for why it is the BEST college football game EVER! |

84 points., ROSE BOWL RECORD!
And, we're still not in the 4th quarter.
ALL of my life, I have HATED Penn State... because of Paterno's whining. Tonight, I'm pulling FOR them... and, watching them kneel for an opposing injured player. what a turnaround.

I have a serious question:
Is there ANYONE who still thinks OSU was the BEST team in the B1G? Really?
PSU put on a good show.. against the team that WHUPPED Washington. USC found a QB during the season. No question, they are the BEST of the PAC12.
PSU played them close.... OSU would have lost by 30, or more.
The CFP committee needs to take a LONG look in the mirror.. And, next year... start giving more weight to RESULTS on the field. Not just between teams... but, it all the games. OSU STUNK IT UP during the last half of the season. Mich St was a bad... REALLY BAD team... and they had OSU BEAT! I'm sorry. ANY team that wins THAT weakly against a shitty team like MSU doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a 4-team playoff. The B1G CHAMP should have been included... or else, Western Michigan. I think, WMU would have given Clemson a better game.
Strange year.... the B1G LOOKED good....all year. But, SUCKED when playing other people.
That's how 2016 will be remembered.
