Interesting to see a "second rate" Big 12 Texas team really take it to the Pac12 runner up.

Very much questioning my thoughts to replace OU with someone who would play a better game.... Geez

When it goes to 8 they have a perfect solution. Play the QF on January 1 at the Cotton, Rose, Sugar, and Orange. SF and F the following 2 weeks at their own soulless corporate sites.

The Big Four were all that ever mattered. Restore that. Seed the teams 1-8, then map the field according to the home seed:

Big12 hosts the Cotton
Pac12 / B1G hosts the Rose
SEC hosts the Sugar
ACC hosts the Orange

This year, by the final FBS Rankings:

#4 Oklahoma hosts #5 Georgia, Cotton Bowl, 2 pm ET
#2 Ohio State hosts #7 Baylor, Rose Bowl, 4 pm ET
#1 LSU hosts #8 Wisconsin, Sugar Bowl, 6 pm ET
#3 Clemson hosts #6 Oregon, Orange Bowl, 8 pm ET

Who's with me?

The final blow to the Rose Bowl. Gross. You sicken me.

If it were up to me I'd rewind everything to 1970. Going from the Pac-8 to the Pac-10 was a mistake. Multiple national champions? Who cares? It's mythical anyway.

The whole idea of a national title in football is reification gone mad. There was nothing wrong and many things right with having tons of teams end their seasons happily and successfully. The vampire squid blood funnel and its media lampreys had other plans. Someday we will simply reach out and flick those gnats away.

Agreed. I would also align the Quarterfinals for the traditional bowl matchups. For example, this year:

Sugar Bowl: (SEC Champion)
1. LSU v. 17. Memphis

Rose Bowl: (B1G v. Pac12)
2. Ohio State v. 6. Oregon

Orange Bowl: (ACC Champion)
3. Clemson v. 7. Baylor

Fiesta Bowl: (Big 12 Champion)
4. Oklahoma v. 5. Georgia

Reseed after the Quarterfinals. Obviously, there would be seasons where the B1G/Pac 12 Champions might draw the short stick (e.g. B1G seeded #1, but has to play a top 4 Pac 12 Champion instead of a mid-teen seeded Group of Five Champion), but they would get to restore the importance of the Rose Bowl.

I am surprised. Michigan is hanging with Alabama early and the Gophers are even with Auburn.

Oops 1st quarter, not half!

Gophers looking ok, other than that return.

Alabama has a tendency to drop a deuce in their helmet when playing in non-championship bowl games.

Also remember Harbaugh isn't so hot in bowl games.

Minnesota doesnt have a goal line play? Good lord. Score the ball already.

I know.

And Minnesota has a lead on Auburn going into halftime.

You should hear LSU’s coach.

Auburn just got pushed 6 yards deep by Minnesota's O-Line to clinch the game.

Nice win by the Gophers! F-ck the SEC now and forever.

Man, those fan shots, though. Corn-fed is the word.

Didn't see that coming. Neat!

The two games say a lot- Minnesota gets coached and they can best an SEC team. Michigan's players regress, and the QB head coach can't get a QB to throw complete passes to very open players that would break the game open. Let alone the very overrated DC.
