January 2, 201511 yr Started as a pick em Wynn and Westgate both opened at Oregon -7 and it was up to Oregon -7.5 as of early this morning.
January 2, 201511 yr TV ratings for both games were higher than last year's BCS title game. I think I watched more football yesterday than I ever have in one day.
January 2, 201511 yr If we still had the BCS it would have been Alabama v. Florida St. this makes the committee look better in my opinion. I think I speak for everyone (of the Alabama and Florida State fanbases) when I say that the BCS would have been just fine!
January 2, 201511 yr Finebaum had a good point...Alabama didn't really have a good win all season when you consider how the other SEC teams finished up.
January 2, 201511 yr Finebaum had a good point...Alabama didn't really have a good win all season when you consider how the other SEC teams finished up. Again, debunking the whole "the SEC teams beat up on each other but they're all really great" thing.
January 2, 201511 yr On a different note, I found this old Woody Hayes quote and thought of how OSU improved, overcame all injuries and bonded together to EARN their spot and WIN. Also to all of the haters ........ “Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn like a punch in the face, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect.” – Woody Hayes Slight correction.
January 2, 201511 yr Author Finebaum had a good point...Alabama didn't really have a good win all season when you consider how the other SEC teams finished up. He's still an idiot. Been saying that all year and NOW he wants to agree with me. Big dummy.
January 2, 201511 yr Finebaum had a good point...Alabama didn't really have a good win all season when you consider how the other SEC teams finished up. I would argue against Paul in that respect because I still consider Mississippi State a good win. It's just not a win of the magnitude that it was claimed at the time and in subsequent weeks. That win was used as the lynchpin to make them #1, an honor that I mentioned on multiple occasions should have belonged to Oregon, who had a clearly superior resume. So not as great as claimed, but good nonetheless. From skimming their schedule, it is likely that MSU and Missouri will end up being their only ranked wins.
January 2, 201511 yr He's still an idiot. Been saying that all year and NOW he wants to agree with me. Big dummy. The show would be much better if Phyllis hosted and Finebaum called in for a few minutes.
January 2, 201511 yr Here's what had Phyllis all fired up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x17CCRBKP18
January 3, 201511 yr Truthfully, I didn't think OSU had a chance of winning with a third string QB, obviously I was wrong. I'm not a Ohio state fan, but I think Urban Meyer is the best coach in college football today. I usually watch nothing but SEC games, but after that win, I'll watch OSU with a little more interest next year. I know a couple of players that never shook hands, win or lose. Their philosophy, and I quote, "those guys are out there trying to disable me for life, biting and spitting on me in the pile, and giving me forearms to the face mask, and at the end of the game we're expected to shake their to show sportsmanship." What a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
