[The Six]

Ohio State (-6.5) v. Texas in the Cotton Bowl
- The teams that like to beat you with speed on offense, but aren’t all that physical, square off in the soon-to-be frozen land of Jerry World.

Notre Dame (-1.5) v. Penn State in the Orange Bowl
- The defense, run-first, shove you in the locker teams get ready for a rock fight down in Miami.

Interesting that we get the similar style opponents in the semis setting up the contrast for the final game.

Who you got in these?

I'll take I Don't Know and the under plus I Don't Care and the over. 

It's BASKETBALL season.

I think OSU should boat race UT...but that spread has me questioning myself.

Boat race?  WTF does that even mean?

How was the football game, honey? Did Texas win?

Well, I thought we had a good chance, but then Ohio State showed up with some sweet, Yamaha Quad-300 Outboards and blew us out of the water.

I get it. Ohio State blew Tennessee and Oregon off the field. Texas won handily against Clemson, but the crack Tigers were in that game for more than a minute. And we all saw what Arizona State was able to do and make a game out of it with the Horns. Vegas clearly buying the Buckeyes Revenge Tour narrative.

The kidzzzz use it to mean "whoop the absolute fucking shit out of."

I think the lingo has been updated to "BTA" or "Belt to ass."

And I'm rooting for the Irish to win it all.

Damn kids.

I've heard it used many times, and I tried to figure out some relation to said ass whoopin', or even football itself. 

Auburn beat Arkansas 48-10.  The Hogs got boat raced.  They got what?  Did both teams have a boat?  Was there an actual race? Were Arky players standing on the beach, and tried to run faster than a boat Auburn players were driving parallel to the beach?

What exactly was the person smoking at the time they decided to use the term, "boat raced" to describe a lopsided win?

Whoa, did you see that Nebraska game?  They got rock climbed.

No.  But I saw Alabama get hacky sacked by Michigan.  And it mu-mu-mu-made me happy.

Don't overthink it, Ogre.

I was being a jackass before, but in all truth and honesty?  I have absolutely NO interest whatsoever in the "playoffs." 

I have literally forgotten it is being played multiple times.  I'm routinely confused/surprised when I see/hear something about it on ESPN. It means less than nothing to me.

The season ends the first week of January.  New Year's Day. That's the way it was and the way it should be.  I don't want to see it now. Maybe - maybe - if Auburn was still alive I'd care some but I'm not even sure about that.

I'm ready to move on.

I will pinball wizard you.

Part of that for me is the selection of teams and who/where they played. I have to be honest, Ole Piss would have been much more attractive in the playoffs then...11 other teams...

[djsimp]

Idk. I like the Ewers kid. So I'll pull for the queers for once in my life...

Classic game last night.  Two teams who play great defense, and more of a grind it out style on offense.  Both were pounding the rock, and throwing when they needed to.  Kind of a throw back game.  And that TE for Penn State is going to make a lot of $$$ at the next level.  He's the real deal.

Agree. Was an entertaining game. Freeman at Notre Dame is a really good coach getting that bunch to the finals. I don't know if they match up well against Ohio State or Texas, but those guys play hard and have overcome a lot of injuries (next man up mentality).

Jeremiyah Love is really good.  That TD run in the 4th where he stretched it out over the goal line, was as good as you'll see. He went through 5-6 guys to get there.

I didnt realize they played last night...

Here's a stat from the game that will raise an eyebrow:

No WR caught a pass for PSU last night.  TEs and RBs were the only players recording receptions.
