So down goes Texas A&M, the team all the SEC honks swore was better than Indiana and Ohio State only a month or so ago. That conference better hope Georgia is good, because the rest of them are overrated fodder. Notre Dame fans have to be utterly seething if they are watching these games.

Will Miami score in that game?
No, no they will not.

That Texas ATM-Miami game may be one of the worst football games I have ever seen.

Each team has had 3 possessions and total yards is 151 for Tulane and 156 to Mississippi. An INT and dropped 4th down pass have killed two Tulane drives. If you're rooting for the upset, like me, it's brutal seeing the underdog just refuse to get out of its own way.

Retzlaff is really difficult to watch, he should be a pretty good QB but he continues to have the dumbest plays in key moments.

Taco Dowler pretty clutch on that drive. Montana State retakes the lead, 27-23, over Montana.

> he’ll find a way to blow it
I think he tried. Couldn't he have run the clock down and kicked a game-ending field goal? I was sort of rooting for A&M, and was shouting at the TV for them to let Miami score. But maybe I may have miscalculated.

Georgia Tech up 21-10 on BYU just before halftime. Just saw a post yesterday from BYU enthusiasts saying they would have gone 11-1 with Oregon's schedule and that they should have been in the playoffs. Hmm, maybe not.

Also the two blowout wins by TTU ain’t looking as hot either.

BYU comes storming back in the second half and wins 25-21, making Texas Tech’s win over them look even more impressive.

For as much of a bad rap as bowl season has gotten with opt outs and coaches leaving before the end of the season, I've actually found the bowls this year very entertaining. Seen a lot of pride on the line and can't tell you a team that's seemed checked out so far. Really entertained.

Doesn't hurt that the Bottom Right Conference is 2-5 and the Big Ten is 5-0.

I've watched almost every bowl game involving a major conference team and they've been good. Not a ton of opt outs except the clear cut NFL guys, mostly.

Tennessee and Illinois is going to come down to the wire. 5 minutes to go.

Good to see another win for the Big Ten with another loss for the SEC!
