    Great win for Northwestern. Down 20-3 at the half and totally dominated by Utah. In the third quarter, they go on a 28-0 run taking advantage of four Utah turnovers and win by that score. Hard to recall a game in recent years that had such a complete shift in domination between the first and second half.

    Ah... it's so nice to be "bored" during my bowl game.
    It's been a while. The Aggies started a little shaky, but then got the train rolling as AJ would say, and steamrolled the Wolfpack behind Traveon's big night.
    The rest of you... suck it up and play competitive/entertaining games!
    ;)

    Looks like Northwestern knocked me out of my tie for first. :(

    Happy New Year one and all.

    Utah is a team that I didn't think would get this far once they lost their QB and RB. But somehow, they did. Those turnovers just killed them but hats off to Northwestern for maximizing their impact.

    Aren't the SEC and P12 both like 3-3 after the bowl games played so far?

    Congrats to the Aggies, they finish on a high note with that win!

    It was shocking to see how Utah self destructed in a short span. I see that the Packers are going to try and interview Pat Fitzgerald for their job, the Packers GM has history with Fitzgerald. I hope he stays at Northwestern, but it's probably going to be a lot of money to turn down if they offer.

    SEC is 4-3 with 4 to go I think. PAC is 3-3 with 1 to go.
    Conf USA finished 4-2.

    Pretty entertaining Fiesta Bowl. I thought, too bad UCF is playing with the backup QB, then I saw how many LSU defenders were not playing including 2 guys declining due to the NFL, 1 suspension and then 2 targeting ejections. So it sort of evens things out I guess. That UCF OL though is struggling badly vs the LSU DL. That #90 for LSU is a beast.

    B10 West goes 4-1 in bowl games with Iowa beating Mississippi State. Kentucky is waxing Penn State so it's 0-4 so far for the Big 10 East.

    I see that the commercial for the AAC declares it is a member of the Power 6. :confused::confused:

    Kentucky got a win over Penn state , looked like it was going to be an easy win but PSU made it close at the end.

    LSU ended the UCF win Streak, entertaining game to watch though

    Ohio State looks like they will handle Washington so far

    Ohio State looking strong, probably will send Urban out with the win.

    Not one of our more successful games, but the Huskies made the 4th quarter very interesting. Glad to see Coach Meyer close his career with a Win!

    Bevo is amped for this game. Ugga showed SEC speed in his retreat.

    Not sure if I have ever seen a punter make that mistake, thought we'd get another TD, but I will take the 3.
    10-0.
