Great Utah vs NW game last night in San Diego's Holiday Bowl. NW down 2+ TDs at half. They came back big time in 2nd half. No Utah points in 2nd half and NW forced multiple TO's (?5-?6) and blew the Utes out.

ACC went o-fer NYE to drop to .500

CUSA is on top of the leaderboard this morning. Just matched at 4-2 by the Aggies & the SEC.

Texas is off to a blistering start in the Sugar Bowl: 17-0 over heavily favored Georgia after one play in 2Q. Georgia ganed just 8 yards in 1Q ... and gave up a fumble in their own Red Zone, which led to Texas' second touchdown.

Even Bevo was fired up before tonight's game. He charged Uga, the Georgia bulldog mascot, before the game. (Details and video here: https://abc13.com/sports/texas-mascot-at...e/5001627/ )

transfer Nick Leverett was honored as part of the Good Works team at the half.

Wonder if Justin Fields will hold off transferring from Georgia. Jake Fromm looks beyond incompetent.

UT beats Georgia, 28-21.

And looked really good doing it. Georgia was never in the game, for the most part.

No kidding. Fromm looked like a rookie.

I think Mensa has found his home.

Must not be much, CUSA has won it the most times in the last 10 years(4 times) and it hasn't done much for the conference.

I think it's a cup. Probably regifted, since it says "World's Best Dad".

About on par with a 3rd grade "graduation" ceremony.

Also, this xkcd summarizes up exactly the issue with a simple percentage vs any form of weighting.

Better than nothing. But not much.

It's because during most of those years, the majority of our bowl games were against fellow G-5 teams. This year (and maybe last) we didn't have a single P-5 opponent.
