This is a historic Super Bowl beatdown.
40 wins between Green Bay, Minnesota and Detroit this NFL season. Not a single playoff win either.

… but that was the danger of making the CFP more “inclusive.” At four teams we typically had the best of the best, or at least two teams jockeying for the title. In the same vein, how games play out doesn’t always equate to a team being “unworthy.”

This too.
Tennessee, Indiana and SMU were all correct choices to make the playoff.
Ohio State, Notre Dame and Penn State are all just really good teams.

Upping the CFP field to 12 teams added intrigue to the regular season. I just hope it yields better games than we saw this weekend.
The scenes were great; but the football low on substance.

First round of the CFP is what NFL wild card Saturdays used to be. Zero to no chance of underdogs pulling off the upset.

It isn’t that Tennessee didn’t belong in the CFP. It’s more of a question why can’t Ohio State play to its potential every Saturday afternoon?
At their best, the Buckeyes have no business playing in a first round game. It’s maddening.

Hoping Bears can give the Lions a fight today. Expecting shenanigans from NYG-Dallas, while Miami tries not to freeze this evening at Green Bay.

49ers being injury-riddled takes some of the luster off what typically would be a much-anticipated matchup between it and another of the league’s name franchises in Green Bay.

Don’t know how to feel about the Dallas Cowboys. On one hand, tanking sounds like an awesome strategy. But beating Washington does feel damn good.
I’m so conflicted.

Kansas doesn’t believe Colorado is physical whatsoever. Jayhawks closing in on 300 rushing yards and putting the Buffaloes’ CFP hopes in the dirt.

Fort MClellan was also where I first saw cars being driven without humans behind the wheel. They mainly were used as a means to keep people from speeding while on base.

I basically grew up on Fort McClellan. Anniston is also where a Freedom Riders bus was burned during the civil rights era.

Three of the worst losses in the NFL this season.
The Steelers 3 L’s are to the Colts, Cowboys and Browns. Very unfortunate. Very nasty.
