| GAME THREAD šŸ†CFB- The Playoffs: Quarterfinals: The Sugar Bowl: Notre Dame vs Georgia (ESPN, 4 ET.)

Tennessee buddy was telling me yesterday, or reminding me as he put it, that Tennessee got destroyed in their 1997 bowl game (Nebraska while Manning was at the helm for UT) and then opened the next season against Syracuse in a dome stadium. Tee Martin led them to their NC that year. Evidently they play Syracuse to open the 2025 season in Atlanta. They are already finding a way to think 2025 is their year!

Its hard from year to year with portal. The loose a lot.
They are probably a 7-8 win team
 
IMO, this has been a disastrous post season of college football. Even the low tier bowls level of play has sucked due to mass transfers. I believe when they ring up those cash registers at seasons end, there's gonna be some brick shitting.

The 2 games in round one that aired in conflict with NFL games had half the viewership of the NFL games. No surprise there! The other 2 games had twice the viewership of those two with the low numbers which is a little suspicious, especially with one being on a Friday night. But it was Notre Dame! And OSU vs Tennesseeā€¦ and those were the 2 aired on ESPN/ABC. Thatā€™s why Iā€™m suspicious that they got twice the viewers of the 2 on TNT.

That's interesting. . . . . did the first straw create the first crack with the ratings to start the first ever 12 team playoff?

It certainly lost its luster some.
