Chase Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 [1] Alabama Crimson Tide will play the [4] Ohio State Buckeyes in the Allstate Sugar Bowl [New Orleans, LA] [2] Oregon Ducks wll play the [3] Florida State Seminoles in the Rose Bowl presented by Northwestern Mutual [Pasedena, CA] It's time. We know "who's in", but who's going to move on? I think the match-ups, despite being contraversial in terms of teams on the bubble being left out, will work for the committee in the long run. [1] Alabama will play [2] Oregon in the Division I College Football Championship game. [Arlington, TX] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I think ultimately that Alabama will prove why the SEC has reigned supreme for the last decade, but Ohio State certainly proved that without Barrett at the helm they haven't missed a beat absolutely embarrassing Wisconsin. However I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if Ohio State pulled the upset. I'm not sold on Bama's QB even if Amari Cooper is tearing it up. As for Oregon and FSU, I think FSU gets exposed this game, they played a very modest schedule all season long and on multiple occasions have skated by. There's a reason they are ranked 3rd despite being the only undefeated team in the nation. So long as Oregon's offense doesn't play like it did against Arizona pt. 1, I can't see them losing this game at all. Jameis Winston had regressed this season. Is it because he went the route of Manziel and isn't taking it seriously? Is it because he just did something last year that really was beyond him and asking him to replicate anything close to it is madness? Or is it just that he doesn't have as good of a supporting cast around him? Either way, Ducks SHOULD win this one fairly easily in my opinion. I won't speculate on the final matchup before it's set, but when are the semifinals due to be played? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Fun Fact: Alabama has -LOST- their last two Sugar Bowl appearances to arguably inferior opponents. The first time was against a very good BCS Buster in Utah, who then played in the Mountain West Conference. The story was that after Alabama lost late in the season, they didn't care enough about the Sugar to take home the hardware. The last time was last season, against Oklahoma. BOOMER... The win caused many to believe this year's OU team was legitimate. It seems like a fluke when looking at a disappointing 8-4 record. This season though, the circumstances are much different. The Sugar Bowl against the lowest seed in the play-offs is -exactly- where every team in the nation, including the Tide, wanted to be. -I- can throw passes to Amari Cooper. He gets -that- open somehow. It will be interesting to see if the Buckeyes can take him out of the game. Jericho - I would be checking around New Years for access bowl games.

Red_Chaos Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I think it will be interesting to see how ohio st. deals with a run first team that can pass the ball when needed, unlike Wisconsin who they killed who can only run the ball.

Chase Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Current Pick 'Em standings: Hilda ( 5-0 ) Jelly ( 4-1) UTEP didn't pull the upset Red ( 3-2 ) South Alabama choked on ya, and Colorado State couldn't hold off the Pac-12 -this- year. Simon ( 2-3 ) Rough start, but your winners ( Utah State and the Airmen) certainly have put you in a place to make a comeback. Remember, it's College Football, anything can happen.

Chase Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 At the end of day 2 of the Bowl Season, we only have one game to alter the standings (don't everyone get up at once, would like to not double post as much as possible) 1. Hilda (6-0) 2. Jelly (4-2) 3. Red (3-3) 4. Simon (3-3) 5. Jericho (3-3) If you picked Memphis today, you went 1-0 on the day. Yes, it was an upset pick, but based on what I've seen, the Tigers had a high octane offense, and it absolutely needed it to take a double overtime win over BYU.

Memphis just HAD to come back >.> I don't appreciate the post game antics by either side though. Go to the damn locker room and enjoy your win, or plan for next season.

Deleted User Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Two games today. Marshall vs NIU Navy vs SDSU Went with NIU because they've been to the big games before and won. Picked SDSU because Navy is too one dimensional (They've always been) That may work some of the time, but I don't see it happening here.

Chase Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 The Boca Raton Bowl (Marshall/Northern Illinois) is easily one of the better matchups of the season. Picking that game was very, very difficult and ultimately, preference did nudge me to favor the Thundering Herd over the Huskies. In order for Marshall to win however, they have to do what they always do on offense (Like Memphis, score a LOT.) and get some critical stops on the other side of the ball. I believe that NIU - Jordan Lynch is a team that -can- be stopped. As much as I love the service academies, Navy is just overmatched in this game in a couple of areas. The game is literally in San Diego State's backyard. SDSU can score a lot of points, whereas the tradition option isn't usually very "explosive" from a "lighting up the scoreboard" standpoint. -usually- the Aztecs can play a little bit of defense. There's reason to pick the Midshipmen if you watched how closely they played Ohio State (a playoff contender) and Notre Dame, but it's just not favorable for them today. It would be an upset pick.
