Josh Mann Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I really like Kevin Hogan as a potential 3rd or 4th round sleeper. He's going to draft grade poorly because of his arm strength and inconsistency, but he's going to be better than advertised. You watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I didn't think the Gators would have anything for Michigan. The offense wouldn't put up three scores on Michigan in eight quarters. The defense knew they'd have to pitch a shutout. This has been a disaster of a bowl season. I can't think of one game that was worth watching. Throw in the semifinals being on New Years Eve and it's so blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 You are up 28-0 in the 2nd quarter and you are going for it on 4th and 1. What a dick And then you go for a fake fumble play on the next play. Again what a dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Did they just run a trick play to go up 35-0? Yup, a near Fumblerooski! Iowa should just leave the the stadium now. Let's get another team in their place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister TV Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Can someone explain why Iowa is even playing in this game? Sure they won their division but that side of the Big 10 sucked and they got a easy draw on the crossover games against the East. Their biggest wins this year were what Pitt and Northwestern?

Brian Fowler Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Highest ranked B1G team available. From what I read, the Rose is only specifically obligated to take the B1G champ, and they could have selected Ohio if they had chosen to do so, but there was a lot of pressure to take Iowa after the conference title game, because Ohio had been there more recently, Iowa was ranked higher, Iowa win their division, the MSU game was close, etc. Plus, I bet the Fiesta put out a lot of pressure because they wanted the marquee Ohio/ND game.

Brian Fowler Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 They ran a trick play up 28-0 to end the first half... The lack of class was obvious awhile ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 This is technically political, but amused me greatly. Carly Fiorina, a Stanford alum, said she was pulling for the Hawkeyes to win the game on twitter. Gee, that worked out well. (If you don't know why she would be pulling for Iowa, be glad you don't. It's very stupid.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipGofern Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 So how do we fix this year's playoff so it doesn't suck? Obviously in hindsight, Ohio State should've been #4 over Oklahoma. Stanford probably merited more consideration as well. Really, to solve the scheduling thing you guys have been talking about, the best solution would be a six team playoff where 1 & 2 get a bye so you have 3-6 in round one at Christmas, round 2 at New Years and then the championship.

Stanford probably merited more consideration as well. The purpose of the playoff is not to create the 3 most entertaining games, it's to select the 4 most deserving teams. If Ohio State wanted to be in, Urb should've got his shit together and not lost to Michigan State without Connor Cook. And let's not overreact to them being the lucky team chosen to take the traditional New Year's Dump on Notre Dame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 There's nothing wrong with the playoff. Yes, Oklahoma and State lost badly but they belonged there. It's not like we haven't seen blowouts in, say, the Super Bowl before. And, really, let's drop the tired "Ohio should've been 4th" narrative. They finished 3rd in their own conference. MAYBE they've got a case if they had made their conference title game and lost a close one - but they didn't. And, let's be honest, they really only played two good games all year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
