this isn't a playoff game

just a bowl game like we've had since you were a kid
Nope.  Worse.

When I was a kid, the Cotton Bowl was one of the top 4 games of the post-season.

Now it's just another NY6 non-playoff bowl game 2/3 of the time.

The CFP is part of what's ruining college football.

some of us more than others, but true

speaking of burgers.  I was gifted a 2lb package of USA Wagyu 80% ground beef.

should be a great burger
I've never had a 2-pound burger of any type of ground beef.
You'll have to tell how it comes out.

So it went from being top four to being top 6?

Is the thesis that the playoff is siphoning so much attention/value from the other bowls that they're just rendered less meaningful?

I’m a child of the 80’s.  This year’s matchup is basically like every Cotton Bowl when I was growing up.  Two very good top ten teams that aren’t playing for a national title.

Back to bowl games today

Cheez-It Bowl
4:30, ESPN
Oklahoma St. v. Miami

Here comes the big boys, all hail the big boys.  These are two pretty evenly matched teams (25 v. 23 on F+).  The fancystats actually like Okie St.'s defense much more than their offense.  Miami has the reputation of a good team but they got destroyed by North Carolina and Clemson, and had a streak of three wins by a combined 7 points.  D'Eriq King runs around a lot trying to make things happen,s o you can tune in to see that.  No Chuba Hubbard, who never really got going this year and is now off to the NFL.

Alamo Bowl
9 pm, ESPN
Colorado v. Texas

Kind of a late tip for a lazy midweek bowl game, but so be it.  Colorado escaped the clutches of the Pac 12 to make a bowl game, though there isn't much evidence they are actually good. Four fairly close wins over UCLA, Stanford, Arizona, and SDSU and a blowout loss to Utah.  They are 57th on F+, going up against 19th ranked Texas and a team that hasn't lost a bowl game under Tom Herman.

Correct,I think the Fiesta has sort of nudged it to 2 nd tier.

Maybe but the networks handing out participation Bowls certainly didn't help

I'm thinking it will be divided into 4 or maybe 6 burgers.
Back in my 20's I attended a backyard grill party.  I threw a 2 lb package of ground beef on the grill as a burger.  Didn't slice the raw white onion, just ate it like an apple along with the rare burger with some chips.  No bun needed.

A poster on a Buckeye Board brought up a good point


The NCAA wasn’t smart in giving exclusive rights to ESPN, not because it’s ESPN, but giving it to one singular network shuts out all of the other networks, like, NBC, Fox and CBS, and they have no incentive to promote the playoff. Joel Klatt mentioned this weeks ago, saying how after the conference championships, Fox is like “see ya good luck” to CFB as it goes into the post season, and doesn’t really care if it succeeds. 
 
 The NFL shares the Super Bowl with CBS, Fox, and NBC, so those networks have incentive to promote it and want it to succeed, even though it’s not their turn to broadcast it.
