College football week 14 thread: ATLiens

If Milroe gets hurt in practice the next week or so, does the committee pick Georgia or Ohio State to replace Alabama?

 

The Texas Bowl match-up of Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma State is the "drunk uncle at Christmas" version of a bowl game. You look at them and see the potential they once had, and can't help but feel sad at where they ended up in life.

 

The Dolphins' strength of schedule that year was weak!

 

Has the Alamo Bowl replaced the Holiday Bowl as the sneaky fun Big 12 vs. Pac-12 game that totally flies under the radar as a great match-up, until we're sitting there at 11 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 28, marveling at a 53-49 shootout?
That game seems to have some crazy finishes and great match-ups now, like the Holiday Bowl once had a reputation for. Arizona vs. Oklahoma this year should be in that same mold.

 

Miami-Rutgers ... now, there's some must-watch TV.

 

Here's the thing, though. The following year's Dolphins team was better by most objective criteria --- and the players who were on both teams have said as much.

And that team had two losses.

 

That will be fun, but it won’t be the highest scoring game of the weekend.
UW-TEX will be a blast.

 

Holiday Bowl hasn’t been the same since they tore down Jack Murphy and moved it into Petco Park. It’s the Southern California version that of the old San Francisco Bowl with a trip to Tijuana now.

 

Most of us older folk who have followed the NFL for decades know that the '72 Dolphins wouldn't crack the top 20 on a list of greatest post-merger NFL teams.

 

Holiday Bowl had some great games back in the old days, when there was no controversy over who the national champion was.

 

Hey, knock it off with that facts BS. The Vortex of Domination is all-powerful.

 

The 1984 BYU Cougars nod in agreement.
