[Tony Romo]

I said it at the beginning of the year. They are stacked.

Gonna be even better next year + mike being fully healthy

 

[Novacane]

More lopsided but the result I expected

They will be losing Lawson, Alexander and Kearse. Big holes.

Closer than the score indicated.

Last few trips to the Orange Bowl haven't been kind to OU.

 

[HisIceness]

Well Oklahoma fell apart in the second half. Respect to Clemson and Dabo, they've have something good brewing for about 5 years now but always had a bad loss, now they are 1 win away from the Championship.

What are you talking about? The last time they were there was the 13-2 win vs. FSU in the NCG. That 55-19 game didn't happen!

312 Yards rushing to just 67 for OU. That was the difference.

Oklahoma no Bueno

Where all them Big XII homers who said a meaningless ACC team couldn't play defense at?

Only thing I heard was that the big 12 can't defend

 

[PanthersPens62]

So Big Game Bob Stoops is now 8-9 in bowl games. Just sayin'!

Still more relevant than Miami. Colleege football fans sure love to throw shade. Oklahoma lost to a better team. No shame in that.

Also not the first year and you don't have the two biggest names in CFB going at it in one of the games.

both games also were blowouts

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Michigan St doesn't want viewers who didn't attend their school so that probably drove down the ratings.

 

[GKJ]

Both games were also on New Year's Eve. People are still working at 4, and they're partying at 8. The playoff games need to be on New Year's Day. Period.

I am fine with New Year's Eve games. All I need to say is that if you have facebook, I am sure you are//were as inundated with reasons to stay home an watch football rather than going out to get plastered as I was

Looking at recent ratings of past games, blowouts didn't matter this much at all. I think it has 100% to do with the timing of them.

I'm fine with New Year's Eve games, just the timing was off I think. Most people don't start going out to parties until like ~8ish. They should be afternoon games. Like 11am and 3pm EST, or something like that.

No way. No reason to ask people to miss a celebration to watch something as important as the Semi-Finals. Move the Semi-Finals to January 2nd, and leave it alone.

New Years Eve games and you are suggesting a kick off of 11am? Just no
