Bowls, CFP, and other Disappointing Games Thread

Four teams that I rarely pull for so I’ll go strictly by coaching and talent and say it’s Notre Dame and Ohio State in the championship game with Notre Dame being the winner.

I know this is an NCAA football forum and we are all fans but the reality is that NCAA football is a regional sport, focused mainly in the SE and Midwest.

I didn't realize this myself until a few years ago. Went on a cruise with family after new years during the playoff. 8 other people showed up in the sports bar to watch the games. Thats it, only 8 people on a huge ship with 1000's of people. When the NFL wild card round came on, the entire place was packed.

Just look at the ratings, NFL is king. College football isn't doing anything to help itself either but that's a longer story for another thread.

I don't want college football to compete with the NFL. Those 8 people are my people.

Kind of like that around the old folks areas in Florida. When we go to Black Diamond to visit the MIL, one of the neighbors is from Pennsylvania. He's 80 or so years old. Has Steelers season tickets, Buccaneers season tickets, and Tampa Bay Lightning season tickets. In that rich ass gated neighborhood of mostly northern transplants, they watch the NFL.

Why does he still have Steelers season tickets while he is 80 and lives in Florida? Because you don't give up your Steelers season tickets. He goes to the Tampa Bay games a good bit, hockey and football, but might make one Steelers game a year. The Steelers tickets are apparently a legacy thing you leave for your children or something

My MIL has said about Jack, the fella with Steelers, Buccaneers, and Lightning season tickets "I have money, but Jack REALLY has money". Apparently, he owned a successful business in the Northeast he sold years ago for a few hundred mil and decided a warmer climate, gated country club neighborhood, and PGA rated golf course was just the thing.....
