Seems like extra whistles are blowing.

Yeah, ducks don't need the help, but a few calls not their way, hate to see poor officiating regardless

Will Jerry’s pool boy be there?

Go Ducks! Beat the cabana boys!

These kinds of matchups hurt bowl ratings.

But Liberty is undefeated! All conferences are equal! They deserved their shot!

I love it! My sentiment exactly.

Good story about Nix and his adopted brother.

So this Liberty team, by virtue of being the highest ranked non Power 5 team would be the 12th seed if the new format would have been implemented this year.

Bumping out …..Oklahoma.

Yep this makes perfect sense..

I was thinking about this as I checked in on this game from time to time. They hung in there for a quarter.

They would get an auto bid, actually, as a “top 6” conference champion. Not sure what seed they may be. However, they would have a home playoff game if I’m not mistaken.

The parings I saw had them as #12 matched against a #5 FSU.
