I must say that last night's Chick-fil-A Bowl between Texas A&M and Duke was pretty awesome! I have not seen all the bowl games of course but this one was definitely the best I've watched so far. Final score was A&M winning 52-48 after being down 38-17 at the half. I feel for Duke who have not won a bowl game since the 1961 Cotton Bowl. This is a great highlight play by Manziel if you didn't see it:





I'm looking forward to the Michigan State vs. Stanford game and curious if UCF can make a game of it vs. Baylor. I believe Auburn will beat FSU in the championship game but my wife is an Auburn grad and I can't believe otherwise.

I don't feel for Duke. I really enjoyed seeing them choke in another bowl game. Is it just me or does it seem that ESPN feels some need to promote Duke? I thought there was once again some bias toward Duke with the coverage just like last year in the Belk Bowl.
Has gotten 52 points hung on them in the last two bowl games and blown 16 and 17 point leads respectively. Also this year they were coming off getting eviscerated in the ACC championship game.

I think the Texas and Baylor fans go their wads in a bunch when the announcers proclaimed A&M THE team in Texas.

Here's the current conference bowl records thru the Outback Bowl:

MAC (0-4)
B10 (1-4)
AAC (1-2)
ACC (3-6)
CUSA (3-3)
MW (3-3)
B12 (2-1)
P12 (6-2)
SEC (5-1)

C'mon UCF and Houston...

Feel a little bad for Wisconsin, they were doing well before their QB went down.

Can't say as I watched a minute of any bowl game, other than ours. Especially ones involving conferences that broke ours up and left us for dead. Screw 'em.

Sutcliffe blew it again just like last year. The guy can coach except at crunch time.

Here's the updated conference bowl records thru yesterday's games (did not include Independents or Sun Belt):

SEC (5-1) .833
P12 (6-3) .667
MW (3-3) .500
CUSA (3-3) .500
AAC (2-2) .500
B12 (2-2) .500
ACC (3-6) .333
B10 (2-4) .333
MAC (0-4) Ouch!

Thank you UCF for helping our conference look more respectable. ACC and B10 having some struggles. I look for an Alabama win to improve the SEC's bowl record as usual.
