General Bowl conversations
Bowl season is S-L-O-W with all the cancelations. None today due to cancelation. But we do have 2 tomorrow. Will be interesting to see how many more cancel over the next week, and teams have to scramble to go to a different bowl to fill a hole.
I’m guessing UAb had sent their players home and are not trying to fill a bowl slot that opens due to a team backing out. I haven’t seen them pop up on any of the games.

I've said this before but I was just happy to be playing this year. I hope we can get back to a more normal schedule next season.

I'm just glad we got ours done. It's fun to watch the team play any meaningful game after Christmas.

Time for the Cheez-it Bowl, 21 Oklahoma St v 18 Miami. The first top 25 matchup of the bowl season.
If it’s not the playoffs, and not a bowl including you or a conference mate, do you care anything about the bowl???

Why I laugh at people touting Notre Dame's ACC wins as reason for them to be in the CFP

Why does it matter what their records are? That is just one game out of 16 cancelled, so far.

A couple of ranked teams + fewer bowls this season = this one being right on the line of interesting to me. I'll probably end up watching a little of it. The playoffs and the remaining G5 teams are definitely the most interesting games still to come.

OKSt misses a FG, Miami knockout on the door to make it 14-21 and King decides he’s to god to slide, it as knee and he could be done, as well as Miami’s hope in this game.

The Pokes hold off the Canes, 37-34. Now on to the Alamo Bowl, 20 Texas(6-3) v Colorado(4-1).
Texas up early 7-0.

Man, there are a lot of teams faking COVID issues ...
That was 3-7 Arkansas v 6-4 TCU.
Oklahoma St up big 21-0 with less then a minute to go in the first.
That would have been a real nail biter! Ha
Seriously....I was looking forward to TCU putting a good thumping on the swine.

RE: General Bowl conversations
Last night Texas finished off Colorado, 55-23.
Today(Wednesday) we get two more bowls, and a couple of other cancelations.
At 11:00 central we get the Duke’s Mayo Bowl(we all know Bama Mayo is the best) with Wake Forest(4-4) v Wisconsin(3-3).
At 7:00 we get 7 Florida(8-3) v 6 Oklahoma(8-2).
Both games on ESPN.
Florida-Oklahoma should be a pretty good game, it’s a top 10 matchup, but Florida has had some opt outs. So will be interesting to see how good Trask is without his main target.

Halfway through the Mayo Bowl and nothing has been decided. 14-14, wake scored all 14 in first quarter and Wisky was 14 in the 2nd.

RE: General Bowl conversations
In the event of COVID delays, CFP semi could be played on the 11th for the Rose and 12th for Sugar with the champ game being played Jan 18th.
Then a couple week break and then we get FCS/DII/DIII football.
FCS playoffs should go until May. 2021 could give us 9+ months of football!!!
