NCAA: 2016-17 Playoff/New Year's Six Watch

[Live in the Now]

whats the best way of getting rose bowl tickets? seems to be conflicting info bout pricing and what service to purchase from.

Ticketmaster tomorrow at 11 AM Eastern. They will be VERY expensive. Parking is a complete joke. Good luck.

ticketmaster said 150 or 210. tournament of roses is 350+. 2nd hand exchanges will prob be astronomical with the 2 teams that are playing in this edition.

The playoff seeding is fine.

However, placing Penn State above a Michigan team that annihilated them is still comical.

They had the extra game to cancel it out

A Michigan team that posts a 1-2 record in away games outside of their own state isn't exactly inspiring, especially when they finish out the season with 2 losses in their final 3 games. One of those losses happened to be against an Iowa team that Penn State blew out in the preceding weeks.

I don't doubt that Michigan is probably the better team, but how you finish in a given season should matter since it's more indicative of the form you're likely to present in a bowl/playoff game.

 

[Reality Check]

Losing, on the road, to a last second FG and losing in double OT, on the road, to the #3 team in the nation while ranked #2 is nothing to be ashamed about

I knew Michigan/OSU was a defacto playoff game anyhow if Penn State managed to beat Sparty. Which they did.

Shrugs...At least Penn State wasn't vaulted into the playoff like Sparty was last season

I know conference tie-ins and stuff, but a 10-3 Colorado whose starting QB got injured in two of their losses being left out of a big bowl for a four loss Auburn is garbage.

Was injured in all three losses, didn't play at all vs USC

Ah, I forgot.

Injured in the middle of the other two, then... which is even worse since the backup comes in cold.

The Rosebowl should be pretty exciting.
