I wanted to start a thread for bowl season that would cover all bowls, perhaps excluding our own. It's a week away but I'm interested to see:

1. Army in a bowl game again.

2. Georgia v. Oklahoma

3. UCF v. Auburn

4. PSU v. Washington

5. Gambling in a bowl game.

I love watching top ranked teams from different conferences go at it when they normally wouldn't, but I like seeing the non-power teams even more
They have nothing to lose and those games are fun.

Happy bowling.

Didn’t Ohio State get in last year basically the same way Alabama did this year, but now they’re mad?

Bottom line for OSU, don’t get housed by a team like Iowa and you’re probably in the CFP. I’m hardly an Alabama fan and would have loved to see them on the outside looking in, but they clearly looked like the better team, IMO.

I’m not a huge college football fan, so I don’t watch a lot of college football games. With Clemson in the championship playoff again this year, who was the last team to win back to back college football championships? Alabama?

Please don’t let it happen this year

Alabama in 2012....I believe.

I think this playoff series will be a good one. I think either team can win the first two games, and if they played 2 of 3, I would bet against any sweeps.
What I "think" will happen is Oklahoma will have too much offense for Georgia and Sooners win.
I think Clemson pulls out another close one against Bama,
and then trails Oklahoma early, but defense wears them down and Clemson
pulls ahead late to win it.

A very plausible scenario DukeKy....You can obviously tell I have only had one beer...
