Cheez-It Citrus Bowl
This just got interesting with Bielema taunting Beamer. Like, why even do that?
- Illinois seems trashy.
- Odds Beamer takes a swing at the handshake?
  
  90 to 1
I wonder how much it cost Penn State to get the easiest path to the semi-finals in sports play off history.
- I just hope this game isn't another blowout, buuuuut as I write this Penn State extends the early lead to 2 scores...
  
  It's probably not going to get better, as the lack of size and depth starts to take effect.
As for the Michigan-Alabama game earlier today, beating an Ohio State is obviously peak comedy (and my dad, a Michigan alum, says it was his favorite of the four-game streak), but it's almost funnier the second time that they beat a ranked team as 3-score underdogs without their best players
- If Michigan played half as good at the beginning of the season as they have the end of it, they would probably be in the playoffs.
  
  Both teams deserve to be out of the playoffs. They both had talent (more on Bama) but they were annoyingly inconsistent (esp. Mich).
Penn State @ Boise State
- I mean its not not been a game
- Penn State getting help from refs smh. Clear offensive pass interference. No call.
- Boise has had 3 fumbles 2 lost already. They've just never played any of the tough physical teams. There is a talent discrepancy.
- A miracle! Boise State with a TD!
  
  Thank goodness. I don't really care who wins, I just want it to be closeish through most of the game.
  Feels like Boise needs to keep funneling the ball to other players than Jeanty (not because of his 2 fumbles but because Penn State's defense is glued onto him so he's a great decoy)
- SMH. already 14-0 in 1st quarter. What was CFB thinking when they ranked Boise State this high?
- Boise has a player from Germany and one from Egypt. Very interesting.
Grass sniper took out Boise State's US flag bearer. Rough, dude.
Tomorrow should be better than the prior 2 days of CFP.
