Game Thread: Early Bowl Games Thread

A stupid blocked extra point that got returned probably screwed a lot of us on the pickem

Yep - almost everyone picked Louisville...

I decided to take a different approach to the Bowl Pick'em. I picked the CFP games as I thought - or hoped - they'd go and then picked every other game as if the favorite would win by exactly seven points...
 
The 7-5 Chippewas of Central Michigan taking on 6-6 Northwestern.
0-0 score in the 2nd qtr.
The Chips pulled their starting QB. Backup comes in, looking, looking, looking, tries to throw the ball away, but throws it to a Northwestern DB. One play later, 7-0 Northwestern.
Next offensive play by CMU, the starting QB is back, he drops back, looking, looking, looking, looking, gets blindsided, and fumbles. NU recovers. Next play 14-0.
Next offensive play by CMU, the QB runs an option, drops the ball, NU recovers, next play 21-0.
So they went from a 0-0 tie with 8:00 to play 2nd qtr to 21-0 NU after only three offensive plays by Northwestern.
CMU needs to settle down a bit and stop turning the ball over.

Northwestern putting a beat down on CMU. This just further proves the B1G is far superior to great conferences like the MAC.

Kind of sad. I haven’t collectively spent more than one hour watching post season bowl games so far year. It is simply because I really haven’t found anything I felt was worth my time to view.
I know I’ll probably watch some today as some of the match ups seem more compelling, but this year outside of CFP games for the most part it is lackluster

You’ve watched more than I have. I haven’t bothered to even try. Seems they aren’t on when I’m sitting down to watch TV so it’s not even on my radar.
