OT: General CFB Thread

[Chairman of the Board]

OU Navy game could be tied at 14 if Navy's QB could throw.

I know the answer, but curious about OUs butchering of the National Anthem in the "Armed Forces Bowl"

6-7 finish, ran off Gabriel to hang on to Arnold.
Venables will be gone next year and the win over Bama a faint memory. Really breaks my heart

I must have missed the explanation for this, but why in f#*% are BYU and Colorado playing each other in a bowl game?

The explanation i saw was the bowl was tied to Pac12 (and former Pac12) and Big12. The only former Pac12 team eligible was Colorado, so they got the spot and BYU got it for Big12. Pretty dumb but thats bowl season.

Washington, California, and USC were bowl eligible. Obviously Arizona State and Oregon weren't going there but there were other options.

Yes, I got their eligibility wrong, but Washington, USC and Cal were all 6-6. So the bowl chose a 9-3 Colorado. Not sure what they would have done if BYU and Colorado had already played in conference play this year.
