Did you watch any of the GLI? Michigan Tech is solid. If you want to complain about teams making the tournament, I'd start with Atlantic Hockey and (most likely) Robert Morris.

These bowl games are big business in cities like Los Angeles, Orlando, New Orleans, and Atlanta. No way they totally dump all those years of bowl tradition in favor of the "Dr Pepper Quarterfinal Games."

The Rose Bowl ended the same way...confetti...giant podium...trophy..."student-athletes" making fools of themselves...

Forgot about them...they play East Carolina.

SEC bowl winners: South Carolina over Miami Georgia over Louisville Missouri over Minnesota Arkansas over Texas Texas A&M over West Virginia SEC Bowl losers: Ole Miss to TCU Mississippi State to Georgia Tech Auburn to Wisconsin Alabama to Ohio State LSU to Notre Dame The SEC's hopes for a winning record in bowl week rests on Tennessee's shoulders (who play Iowa).

FSU not alone in the "classless" department apparently...Ducks players were caught on camera during the trophy presentation mocking FSU's tomahawk war-chant by singing "no means no," an obvious reference to Jameis' rape allegations.

Are you at all familiar with TV ratings in Canada during events like the Olympics and the Stanley Cup Finals? Put a Canadian team in this kind of event and it'll turn into gold up there. Check out the numbers for 2014's Maple Leafs/Red Wings game. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/winter-classic-makes-canadian-tv-ratings-history-8-210623604--nhl.html

LOL! The Pistons and their walk-off against the Bulls in 1991 is oft-criticized...but Larry Bird and Robert Parish of the Celtics aren't raked over the coals at all for doing the same exact thing against the Pistons after being eliminated in 1988. Kevin McHale walked off as well but did shake hands with Thomas and Laimbeer before leaving the court. At least some Seminoles stuck around for handshakes and to congratulate Oregon. Pretty immature of those FSU players who didn't though since this game had not been in doubt for quite some time.

Yup, no way FSU would have been left out in the cold under the poll system.

Turn out the lights...the party's over.

Was that the same guy who fumbled a short while ago?

Hard to lead the cheers when you're busy taking selfies and updating your Facebook status I guess...

32-20...Oregon scoring at will.

25-13 Oregon quickly turns into 25-20 Oregon as FSU scores a TD...Seminoles still looking silly for not taking that field goal early on in the 1st quarter.

I dunno about striped, but definitely stripped. Talk about a momentum-killer for FSU...

My bad. I thought hoopster was referring to UND fans still wanting their coach fired despite a win today. I mis-read his post.

Hey Oxbow6, how about the UND Montezumas? Welcome back.

18-13 at the half, Oregon over Florida State. I think FSU's early decision to go for it on 4th and goal with the score 8-3 was a mistake.

EDIT: Original Post deleted because of my lack of reading comprehension today.

Can you imagine the buzz this game would generate if it were held in Stockholm, Prague, Berlin, or Moscow? I like your idea.

Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Washington, New York, Boston, Buffalo. That's it.

We can't confuse hockey fans by having Calgary, Montreal, or Vancouver in one of these games?

Saw that a while back and thought the exact same thing...you see Oregon's duck, Brutus the Buckeye, Alabama's elephant...and two Seminole fans, one painted gold and one painted garnet.

Wow again...congratulations to the Michigan State Spartans on their Cotton Bowl win. What a comeback. Mark Dantonio is cementing a legacy there in East Lansing. 4 straight bowl wins for Sparty.

Well, they hung 41 on the Spartans...just didn't see MSU going from 14 to 42. Wow!
