Why we still watching this game?
It's important to remember that bowl games are essentially exhibition games - depending on the circumstances, some teams will take them more seriously than others.Guys, OM isn't this bad, right?
Agreed. Any of the top SEC teams can be beaten if they do not show up ready to play.
I really don't agree that this game proves TCU deserves to be in the playoff. We haven't seen the top 4 teams play yet.
Props to TCU, but Ole Miss played horribly - Bo looked completely lost out there. I'm guessing he probably partied hard last night. They also lost Tunsil in the game although the game was already over.
I don't mind the SEC losing. What I hate is the chorus that will begin "see? TCU should have been in the playoff!" The march to 8 teams is well on its way.
I certainly hope that Ole Miss just wasn't energized for this game and that TCU was out to make a statement. In either case, Ole Miss just wasn't the same after they suffered injuries in the LSU/Auburn game. It just sucks that people are going to fixate on this and forget all the other SEC wins over the Big 12.So many people overreact to bowl wins/losses. OU beat us last year and look how this year turned out for both teams..
