The Playoffs! And.... drama!
It's that bittersweet time of year, when the college football season is almost over....
But what we have left are bowl games galore! I am personally planning to attend a bowl game in person for the first time this year-- the super-prestigious Quicklane Bowl in Detroit, which will feature Minnesota v. Bowling Green the day after Christmas. I imagine that there are plenty of tickets available.
The big games, of course, are in the playoffs-- those four team who get to play for the national championship. The first semifinal on January 1 will feature Washington (the Pac-12 Champions) against the Texas Longhorns (the Big 12 Champs), followed by the Michigan Wolverines (Big 10 Champions) taking on the Alabama Crimson Tide (the SEC Champions).
It all seems uncontroversial, doesn't it? Four champions of four premier leagues fighting it out?
The problem is that the "Power 5" conferences, well, there's five of them. And the one left out is the ACC and its champion, Florida State. The kicker is that Florida State went undefeated against a pretty good schedule, while two of the teams in the playoff, Alabama and Texas, each lost a game. (complicating things, the game Alabama lost was to Texas).
As one might imagine, Florida State fans are unhappy. But not me! I'm going to the Quicklane Bowl!

Miami U is in The Cure Bowl. At least they get to play in Orlando.
As for undefeated FSU, I heard the logic that the ACC is not strong compared to rhe other conferences so their strength of schedule was meh... I have no idea if this is true but at least it was logical.
