This is kind of a big deal: SEC/Big 12 Champs to meet in New Year's Day Bowl

Ohio State "self reports" 46 violations: Who was it saying we just pick on them ? Yeah, not so much.

So basically Big 12/SEC have created the East's Rose Bowl. No conference outside the big four will matter in 2015.

[Meacon Keaton]

When have they ever mattered, though, really?

I hope neither one of you put "detects sarcasm" under your special skills.

I just wanted to post the 1984 BYU Cougars Holiday Bowl/National Championship win

[gunnar hendershow]

That National Championship has been about as forgotten as the surname Detmer.

Except for the annual conversation that always brings up "the last time a winner wasn't ....." blah blah blah

BCS conference commishes agree to a 4 team seeded playoff. As long as it's not 2-3 from the SEC every year, I'm good with it.

[gunnar hendershow]

Hopefully just the start of sweeping changes to the postseason landscape.

I don't ever want there to be more than four teams. The excitement of upsets stems from it usually means the end of a team's championship hopes. I hate the idea of two or three or four loss teams getting a shot at the crystal.

That said I think this is the perfect post season scenario for top level college football.

[Plubby]

I can't help but feel that this is not going to change matters at all.

[naiwf]

It makes a huge difference in that teams # 3 and # 4 at least get a shot. Needing to win two games to win the trophy also eliminates some of the fluky results caused by a 5 or 6 week layoff between the Conference Championship and National Title games. Now if we end up with 3 SEC teams one year, I reserve the right to lose it.

[Plubby]

The core problem as I saw highlighted this year is that selection to the dance is up to a questionable process open to interprative influence. See: The story relating to Alabama allegedly massively downvoting Okie State leading up to the final relevant BCS poll.

Nothing i've seen suggests that the process leading to playoff selection has changed. Just because the process is now open to four teams instead of two, that doesn't make the initial process fair or transparent.

[rocksta]

On a completely unrelated note I was just looking at some early mock draft. The names this year are especially excellent.

Crowell arrested on weapons charege, gone from UGA

This is Kristen Saban...daughter of 'Bama head coach Nick Saban. She's cute..blonde..and oh yes...completely FUCKING INSANE. Some highlights..

31. Kristen immediately used both of her hands and shoved Sarah into the corner of Courtney's open door, slamming Sarah's head.

32. Sarah defended herself by pushing Kristen into the opposite wall, saying "Don't touch me."

32. Kristen proceeded to punch Sarah Grimes multiple times in her head and nose, and to pull Sarah's hair, even though Kristen knew that Sarah had really bad migraines from a prior head injury from an automobile accident.

33. By this time Meghan, who was outside in the parking lot, heard the yelling and ran upstairs.

34. Sarah screamed "I'm calling the cops!"

35. Kristen's grip on Sarah's hair prevented Sarah from getting away and they moved down the hall toward the kitchen as Sarah tried to get away.

36. After multiple blows to Sarah's face, Hannah intervened and tried to pull Kristen away but was unable to do so due to Kristen's grip of Sarah's hair and Kristen refused to stop hitting Sarah.

37. The screaming woke up Beth Terry, who immediately jumped in to help pull Kristen off from behind (Beth's shirt was ripped and stained with Sarah's blood).

38. It took both Beth Terry and Hannah Muncher to pull Kristen off of Sarah.

39. Once Kristen stopped hitting Sarah, Sarah saw a large amount on blood on the wood floor.

40. Sarah looked down and noticed a great amount of blood was running down her chest and into her bra.

41. Sarah felt her nose and realized that the blood was coming from it.
