We have about two major days of bowls left, plus the inevitable Only Meaningful Game of the Year: Alabama-Clemson IV...
But this has been the most disappointing bowl season ever, and, frankly, between the purported semifinals and that Washington State-Iowa State mess the night before...
- In less than a half of the WSU-ISU game, I saw four unsportsmanlike conduct fouls on Washington State (a sack dance, the reversed-TD pick-six, and after both of Washington State's first two touchdowns), and at least four players (three from Iowa State -- two were!) who should've been ejected for targeting or spearing.
- Anyone who watched the second half of Notre Dame-Clemson knows the referees (and eventually Clemson themselves!) had to rig the game to keep it from going 30-3 to somewhere 51-3 or north of there!
- And then Alabama... 28-0 to start, and they clearly had to take the foot off the gas to prevent... I don't know where that ends up... Sixty? SEVENTY????
No wonder the semifinals were the lowest-rated since 2015. There was zero competition, zero doubt, and, on the other side of the ball, very little talent.
One has to start wondering if we have reached the point that there is so little real football talent (which would explain the NFL too!!) that college(-pro, thank you Keith Olbermann) is no longer going to make it...
If Clemson gets annihilated, that means the SEC Title game was the De Facto National Title Game.
