I simply hate Oklahoma. That's reason enough for me. ;)

Lump it in there with Auburn and Tennessee.

Just curious. Why the Oklahoma hate? I don't come across many of y'all who hate OU.

Definitely tOSU. Has ZERO business in the playoff. Were lucky to beat shitty teams in MSU and N'Western. This team was actually one c..u...n...t hair away from being a 5 loss team. The 2015 tOSU team had more business being in the playoff than this year's team.

Besides Clemson, which team do you think is hyped up way too much?

I gotta say Oklahoma, USC, or Auburn

Ohio State and Michigan. I think both get handled in their bowl games.

Meh...I think non playoff bowl games are overrated. Most guys that are guaranteed first rounders are likely to "play not to get hurt" anyway.

Already starting with the "we didn't want to be there rhetoric."

Well, does Michigan really want to be there or would they prefer a spot at the dance?

I mean outside of playoff games and national title games, Saban's teams are 2-3 in regular bowl games. The reason, in my opinion, is not because of lack of talent, but when you're playing an exhibition game (it's literally worthless outside the playoffs), your high end "soon to be drafted" NFL talent often plays to not get hurt, and likely is disappointed they aren't playing for a national title. That's why I view these games as pretty much meaningless in terms of judging a team's overall season. Michigan blew it both against Iowa and OSU in 2 out of 3 weeks. That ended their season, so I don't expect too much out of their top talent in the bowl game. Just my two cents.
