Good call, Jayhawk. The odds were heavily against them.

- Some questionable play calls at the end
- Terrible officiating
- Duke got completely away from what got them the big lead.
- Terrible decisions by Duke's QB at the end of the game.

I can't wait til Johnny Football turns in to the next Tebow is out of the nfl in 3 years.

Duke was completely screwed by refs on two major calls on the final drive.

I hate AM, can't wait to see their team crumble without Johnny drama.

Was out for the entire second half (bowled poorly, if you're curious), but wow. What a game.

As expected, ESPN all over Manziel's jock. I wish the kid would just go ahead and enter the draft. The less I see of him, the better the world is.

Nothing says "tradition" like the Heart of Texas Bowl on New Year's Day....

I do not like Manziel, but he's had a ridiculous two years. ESPN should be covering him like crazy.

helmet to helmet contact, but not targeting in Nebby-UGa game, lol. Personal foul but no ejection. Much worse than the Tuitt-Pitt game. Total BS

Have you been paying attention to what he's done in the last two years? Did you see last night?

He is also likely a top 10 pick

LSU is beating Iowa 14-0, but Iowa is absolutely giving it away with really bad turnovers. Pretty evenly matched game actually with LSU having a slightly better offense.

Oh, I agree. The kid's been playing lights-out. But, enough is enough. Nobody heard of him before the Alabama game last year. After that game, ESPN anointed him the Heisman trophy winner. That was all it took. Manti was a much better player, and if he had ESPN slobbering all over him, he would've had the Heisman. ESPN has too much power. Manziel's OK, but I think there are better players out there.

I have to admit, I haven't paid much attention to him. I have better things to do than watch some over-hyped athlete. He's an OK QB, but I doubt he'll amount to much in the NFL. A lot of over-hyped players screw the pooch at the next level. Tim Tebow comes to mind.

I saw Duke having their way with the A&M defense in the first half. Then I fell asleep.

How do you know if he's over-hyped if you don't pay attention to him? His numbers are off the charts. He threw for 3700 and ran for 1400 (20th in the country with 21 TDs) last year. That's freaking absurd.

Nebraska just threw a 99 yards, 2 feet, and 11 inches TD pass on 3rd & 14

YOLO

And topped it this year with 4114 yards and 37 TDs passing with a additional 759 yards and 9 TDs rushing. Absolutely silly numbers

I'm very impressed with Iowa's blitz packages. Lots of stunts and delays, LSU struggling with it. Completely disguised compared to what we used to see from Diaco.

Ed Cunningham is the WORST announcer in all of college football. He has absolutely ruined the telecast of the Gator Bowl.

Anyone watching the Nebraska/Georgia game, and thinking Georgia is about to have a Michigan-esqu ending?

Nebraska had no business winning that game. Absolutely totally lucky, needing three dropped passes to win. Pelini is a jackass and a very mediocre coach. I'm glad Nebby kept him because it ensures their continued slide.

With the SEC becoming ESPN's whore, we should be rooting against SEC in every scenario possible. This is becoming even more important now that we have a 4-team playoff. This conference needs to be discredited as much as possible. Hate Bo all you want, but this is what's best for the greater good.

I can't agree because I hate the Big Ten much more than the SEC. At least the SEC has some basis to think they are a good conference (and I don't know as many SEC fans, lol).

I think it's actually becoming less important

Haha I'm indifferent to him. I just like to take any and all opportunities to use that picture because I think it's hilarious

Yeah, it is. I just am struggling to get through my Big Ten hatred issues.....I just think Delany is festering pockmark on the Mona Lisa face of college football and so I wish him professional misfortune whenever possible.
