All the cute upsets we've had are largely over, and the few times they do still occur, it's a TCU '22 situation where their reward is an even better big-boy team in the next round.
Even that isn't going to be replicated often. TCU only won because they lucked into a dirty cheating program that forgot to cheat against them. Otherwise TCU never sniffs the CG.

What a perfectly normal college football game. Fine evening at the stadium.

It would seem odd, to me, if PSU win the NC.  They have been a forgotten team this season.  

OSU could win and for their fans it might seem odd as well.

Everybody knows the only reason why TCU won is because they played with their hair on fire. Get it straight mister.

Sometimes obviously a "TCU" simply wins the game, it's a statistical probability they will given enough such tries.

There is a lot of randomness in a CFB contest.

Kiesza a featured opener at Rose Bowl Parade,  uh, not good.

I've had two different friends provide polar opposite views on the Rose parade.   Worst time, biggest waste of time, miserable experience vs  all time once In a lifetime bucket list.

I live here and I've never had ANY desire to go see that.

I was pondering which team most NEEDS to win the NC.  Obviously, it would put ASU on the map, for a bit anyway, but I suspect that isn't at all likely.

1.  OSU - Reprieve for Day, would make up for the one bad loss in spades.
2.  PSU - Would put an end to the notion Franklin can't win the Big Ones, for a while.
3.  Notre Dame - They seem able to have good records but lack the last shiny thing.
4.  Texas - They would be back.
5.  Oregon - It would be a great thing obviously for the program, but perhaps they need it less than others?
6.  UGA - It would bring them more luster and some bragging rights to 3 in 4 years.

I have no interest in parades of any kind.

We happened upon the St. Patrick's Day parade here in 2024 and watched for a while.  There were some interesting groups, and some boring ones.  It looked like a fun gig for the HS bands.  One group has ostriches.  There were some mounted police.  The mayor went by.  I think overall it was good for the local businesses as there was quite a crowd watching.

Saw it in 1980. On a student rose bowl package. Had to get up real early after being up late for nye. Would have rather stayed on bed. But if I missed the bus to the parade I wouldn't be able to get to the game since we went straight to the game from the parade

ASU or Oregon winning would be our first first-time AP Champion since Florida in 1996.

There is, but THAT result wasn't random. Their opponent cheated to get there and had cheated in anticipation of most potential opponents but didn't bother to cheat as against the Frogs.

I went in 1997. It was a family trip of my parents, brother, and I.  Mom isn't much interested in football so we bribed her with the parade. 

I think, like @betarhoalphadelta if I lived there I certainly wouldn't go every year but I'm glad I saw it once.
