So happy the buckeyes won but I have to say that Alabama punter was seriously incredible. That was perhaps the best onsides kick I ever saw.
They beat 3 SEC teams on bowl games. ESPN is spinning wildly to explain how that makes the Big 12 week, and the SEC strong.
Still, the reason that Baylor and TCU did not get in the playoff is because they didn’t play in a championship game. Remember, perception is reality, and ESPN needed better ratings than a TCU or Baylor could provide.
ESPN is really hurting right now. They can’t build up their SEC channel anymore. This is why they wanted two SEC teams in the playoffs. Next year I hope its 0 SEC teams in the playoffs.
Baylor beat TCU. So why should they be ranked higher than Baylor? And this is before the cotton bowl. Personally, I think Baylor and TCU both should have been in the top four. Bama and FSU shouldn’t have been there.
Not only do you have to have cable, you also have to upgrade to get espn.
But, I haven’t suffered any withdrawals from not being able to watch all the games.
Big12 needs a championship game like the rest of the big conferences. Big10 used to not have one, but added it and it’s the reason OSU had a chance this year.
