Clemson would be mine, good for them to pull out a win in the Peach.

Acting like the Orange bowl could ever possibly match the ratings in days where there were 3 networks and public TV in the VHF range and you had to go up to the TV to turn the dial is ridiculous.
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Ridiculous is putting a team like NIU in the Orange Bowl.

BTW, did you know Manziel won the Heistman as a freshman?

You can thank FSU for at least quelling the media's love affair with the mid-majors. We didn't play that great but it didn't take much to beat that one-trick pony. I give the defense credit for not falling asleep and knocking the crap out of the QB time after time.

Interesting:
According to a 2011 Tulane Law School study, the SEC signed 321 more football players than the Big Ten over the preceding 9-year period. For example, when Ohio State met Arkansas in the 2011 Sugar Bowl, Arkansas had signed 30 more players than OSU in the preceding four years.

According to another study, Alabama cut 21 players in 2010-2011. That's about an extra player at each of the 22 positions on the field.

SEC schools grant one-year scholarships. Big Ten schools grant four-year scholarships for ethical reasons.

In addition to cutting players, SEC schools regularly pull scholarships from incoming players at the last minute, forcing them to "grayshirt" (pay their own way, limited rights, practice-only, and it's too late at that point to transfer because other top programs are full) and hope for a scholarship later.

It's an accurate post, sir. Maybe not anything you didn't already know but I can't answer that.
