Those were Superbowls Gator. Played in Domes in cities that have a lot of population and airports and highways. Those same cities have hosted final fours in the cold too. Those were also sold out. Do you even North Face bro? :lol:

You forgot people with a majority of their teeth and no jorts.

I think all CFP games should be in Vegas. God knows there’s no chance that any team from NV will ever make it that far. The weather is generally pretty good. They seem to have figured out the tourism thing...

No offense, but the fact Packer fans pack their own stadium does not mean that folks from Virginia and the Carolinas want to go to Green Bay to play each other. Filling NFL stadiums is not your best argument, as each one has a mob of willing fans supporting the local team and willing to sell out a playoff game.

I'm just saying that it is nice to party in a place where passing out results in mosquito bites and sunburn, and not death or frostbite. Could be wrong.

Were the CFP about winter escapes I’d agree, but they’re not. They’re about trying to FAIRLY determine a NATIONAL CHAMPION and putting the BIG Ten schools always in travel mode is not fair to the teams or their fans. Let the fans from the ACC and SEC pay air fare, hotel bills, and car rentals.

Don’t want to leave the South? No problem. If the Bucks can put 100k in the stands to watch them play FAU or Rutgers in any kind of weather they sure as hell can fill an NFL Stadium in January to watch them play for an NC. And frankly, the real money comes from TV, not the folks in the stands.

Oh, and the Cotton, Orange and Sugar bowls WERE created during Jim Crow/Segregation times. Northern teams were not invited until the 50s and even then were asked to leave their “dark skinned” players at home.

Well yeah, I get that sentiment, but I'm not the only person who looks at football scores and thinks in terms strength of conference. It looks like the folks who determine numbers 1 through 4 do the same thing. We can laugh at the folks who chant SEC, SEC, SEC. We can bitch that Clemson doesn't play anybody and nobody in the Big 8/10/12/10 plays defense, but until we get a commish who puts the interests of the Big Ten first and not that of the collective Chambers of Commerce of the South and California and the scheduling gods of SEC/ACC, we'll continue to be dogged by the perception the Bucks play in a weak conference in comparison to the SEC.

B1G is loaded this year.
I'm not joking that Georgia would be in a dogfight for 3rd in B1G East and very possibly end up 4th.
And in West they would be 3rd.
We didnt get #1 because the Committee didnt have a single B1G connection after Iowa AD.
We didnt get #1 because ESPN owns Playoff, SEC, and ACC.

...At the end of the day, if Wisconsin wins the Rose I don't care. If they lose.... I don't care. But, I'm not a Wisconsin fan, so.. why would I?

This is a tough question that goes to every God-fearing sports fan's primary goal - ridiculing fans of other teams. On one hand, it will be great fun if Michigan gets humiliated by Bama, or if Penn St even more embarrassingly loses to Memphis. On the other hand, when the fans of non-BigTen teams come prancing around, it will be a little easier ridiculing them if the second-tier BigTen teams would win a semi-marquee bowl game once in awhile. Pros and cons either way.

I think there's legitimate conversation to be had as to which conference may have more good teams and which have less. But, bowl results are hardly the be all, end all of that discussion. And the importance of that discussion isn't all that high in any case. I don't care if OSU beats up on the best or the worst division in college football... or anything in between... so long as they beat up on it. The strength of a conference is really just evidence of the strength of the team beating them and not a stand alone metric of any value. And.. of course, look at what we have this year.. LSU and Ohio State are "knowns" We KNOW they can beat good teams in big games.. because they have... Clemson? Well.. we're pretty sure they could, but.. we don't know.. because the ACC is so bad and they haven't, therefore, demonstrated that they also can.

You're right about it making message board fodder. But, really, again... who cares? Let's say both scUM and Ped get embarrassed and Trey McNeil and his SEC troll army show up to give us OSU fans shit about it. Who cares? What are we going to do? Leave the B1G? Hang our heads in shame? Stop being fans of Ohio State? More likely I'll laugh at Ped and scUM losing and have another laugh when the trolls get McNeiled.

The more I think about it, it seems to me the conference wars are nothing more than an artifact of when the game was more regional than national.

I think it is still regional to the more casual fans in the South. Those that root for Arkansas, Ole Miss, and the other shit programs from the SEC. I hear too many times that Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, etc. don't play anybody. That those programs would not win a game in the SEC and that they play FCS teams because the conference is just too damn good. Fuck 'em!

Didn't want to put this in either game thread to avoid the "looking ahead" jinx, but PAC-12 will be sending their best (worst?) to officiate the Championship game...

Whatever the over is on bad calls, it isn't high enough.

Some mouth breathing caller on Sirius today literally said that Ohio State wouldn't beat Auburn or Florida.
