It wasn't just the Cotton Bowl, it was their overall sleazy grossness for all of those years.

But yeah, if you had been a Texas fan at that Cotton Bowl, you'd feel just like me.  Single most miserable game experience of my life, and I attended UCLA beating us 66-3 at home, as well as 63-14 and 65-13 losses to the hated Sooners at the Cotton Bowl.

January 1, 1991-- a date which will live in infamy.
I still have this game on VHS,  for some perverse reason I guess.

"Randall Hill talks openly about running with cheetahs and being pulled over for speeding" were the words of Nantz and Haden after Hill did his gunfiring thing in the tunnel.

I know MH. I'm guessing he has every game ever played. Reel-to-reel, the Betamax, VHS, DVD and now thumb drive.


It's not all about you, man. Hah!

Welcome to every poll/ranking system ever!


Imagine if, in 1936, the pollsters put in place a rule that all teams on a bye week had to remain in the same spot.  That's what you're advocating for here.

I'm advocating for non-helmets, like your school and mine.

2017 season. My school was left out at 12-1, in favor of Bama, after a close (27-21) loss to OSU in the B1G CCG.

Both were 0-1 against the top-10 that season, after the CCG's, and both were 3-1 against the top 25. Both lost their last games prior to the postseason. They had very similar SOS rankings at that time.

Bama didn't win its division. Wisconsin did.

Of course, Bama got hot and won the MNC anyway, but I think UW should have been in, despite losing in the CCG.
UW was 1-1 vs ranked teams going into the playoff.

It's interesting that last year UGA "almost" (sorta) got in after losing a CG, and with an additional pretty bad loss during the season.  I don't think many were claiming Wisconsin should be included that year cited.  Some thought OSU should be included of course, which was a rational thought.
UGA didn’t almost get in, though. Herbie said they should on the broadcast, and some folks got triggered, but they weren’t going to get in at two losses.

Wasn't the 4-team CFP supposed to reduce the controversy by expanding the field?  It doesn't seem to have done that.  If anything, making selection for the CFP the metric for a successful season, it seems to have increased the intensity of the argumentation.

I don't think any intelligent folks think expanding the field will reduce the controversy

it was to make sure a deserving team wasn't left out and had their shot to settle it on the field

And ESPN likes it because it'll make them more money.
