P12 CCG
- Thread starter HuskerAlum92
- Start date
If I was there and a ticket was for only $8, I’d buy it. What the heck!
You are basing this on...? There is no modern stadium in Los Angeles.The Rams play at the Coliseum. The Chargers play at a college at a college facility. Santa Clara is in the Bay Area and has the newest stadium of any that you mention.
I'm not saying you can't have an opinion. I asked why you feel that way. Based on what?
I have been to NFL games in Santa Clara, Denver, Phoenix, and Seattle never seen a game in LA but I'll make the trek out when their done with the Rams' new place. Of the 4 stadiums I've been to Levi's Stadium is my least favorite.
What an embarrassment for the PAC 12 - that stadium is only 25% full for a conference championship game.
Actually I know a lot of people watching this game. Of course, because of my location most of them are Wazzu fans who are swallowing their pride to cheer for their in state rival.
My husband and son attended the game the last time UDub played in the championship game and had a great time. I think more folks would be in attendance if a former Pac 8 team was involved - Utah is a relative newcomer. Plus a 5 pm start time in the Bay Area is ridiculous - traffic is awful.
Go Dawgs!

haha, 10-3 - glad I opted to go to a HS wrestling tournament instead, guessing the $8 tickets were still available too......
I'm not sure what to make of this picture...seems to me like a CCG with a Rose Bowl berth would be something fans would be more excited about...Yikes that looks bad, Pac 12 can't be thrilled with that.
Perhaps this was an unintended byproduct of the 4 team playoff...it's either that, or nobody cares, rendering all the other bowls meaningless and the final games that determines said bowl matchups....If only somebody could have seen that coming!!!

Here’s a snippet from ESPN article after the game. PAC12 has issues.
It was the latest controversy over how the Pac-12 has handled officiating, an enduring story this season following a recent Yahoo report that the league's general counsel overruled a call in the Washington State-USC game in September. Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott was later forced to acknowledge the error in the system and make a short-term change in protocol.
In a pregame news conference Friday, Scott said of the WSU-USC incident: "Our athletics directors were all satisfied that this was an isolated incident, and any other call in the game was not affected by the one call in question."
During the postgame trophy presentation, Scott was repeatedly booed. He could barely be heard in the stadium as he attempted to present the MVP trophy to Murphy, who finished the night with two interceptions, including one he returned for the game's only touchdown in the third quarter.
"I'm just glad he didn't get caught," Washington coach Chris Petersen said. "When I saw him cut back, I was like, 'please keep going.'"
Huskies fans only stopped heckling Scott when Murphy made his way to the microphone on the stage hastily set on the field. But it quickly restarted when Scott spoke again to present the league's championship trophy to Petersen.
It was easily one of the loudest moments of the night at Levi's Stadium, where an announced crowd of 35,134 -- the second-lowest in the eight years of the game's existence -- didn't have much to make noise about until the final minutes.

Time to retire the CCG's and bring on the 8 Team Playoff. Awwww Yeahhhhh!
On Twitter, people are saying this game is an argument against an 8 team playoff with P5 autobids. Apparently nobody thinks that product is CFP worthy. But personally, I don’t care if there’s a dud or two in the 8 team field. The nice thing about autobids is all CCGs are part of the playoffs.
