Rose Bowl has certainly gotten the disproportionate number of classics recently, compared to the other major bowls, going back to 2005 Texas-Michigan.

Great game,

I thought Riley got super conservative last 4 drives, 2 reg 2 OT. 

Ur defense sux bro, play to win. Couple first downs with 3 mins to go ices it, 3 timeouts 55 seconds 

Then 3 straight runs in first OT? Easy to 2nd guess, but I thought they were just trying not to make a mistake.

Credit to UGA, their D got torched, but offense showed up

that 3rd and 2 play call (sweep to the short side of the field) was really dumb.

Do we really need to talk about how when you have 2 playoff teams, the rest of the bowl slots get the next worst team down?

And yes, when you have zero playoff teams, you better have a great bowl season, because you're sending teams that are one step up of their slot...
This isn’t really accurate mathematically. 
The SEC traded one NY6 game for a playoff. If y’all had one team in the playoff, LSU/South Carolina/everyone else would still be in the same spot. So the B1G is in the same boat.

Yeah, thats an all timer of a bad take.  I guess you'd have OSU playing Clemson and Alabama playing USC instead.  Beyond that, no difference.

And we always got laughed down when bringing up that point in the BCS era.  Where it actually matters is not in getting more teams into the CFP, but more teams into the NY6, like a down Big Ten getting four teams in last year, forcing a 7-5 Iowa team into the #2 slot.

Very enjoyable game.  I like that the Rose can host all kinds of other opponents.  Broadens the game's  appeal.  The whole conf tie in ship sailed decades ago.  Besides the first 30 or so Rose Bowls weren't exactly all Pac v Big.  I respect the devotion and efforts to preserve some of its traditional trimmings, but so long as the P5 wanted to control the whole MNC future something had to give. It's not optimal, but as noted above, the Rose Bowl is still the bomb.

Either way, expensive ticket, with probably less than half the crowd needing a hotel.

The SEC chants can be put to bed until at least 2020. When u get exposed like this it's safe to say the committee screwed up. UCF, OSU, Wiscy or someone deserved a shot. SEC has been Bama for 5 years now, and even they are not elite this year.


No, no....the game is 60 minutes! (and more)
