Haha, not saying this is you but for years I was told the OSU ND Fiesta Bowl from 2005 ish was a beat down because ND was down 27-20 with 2:45 to go and got caught in a zero coverage take it to the house 65 yard TD run for a 34-20 final.

I’m calling it a beat down because Michigan outscored OSU 28-3 in the 2nd half. I mean take away one of the big long runs and instead project one single time consuming drive that results in 7 instead of the 2 big plays and it’s still a 21-3 2H. The reason I have no problem saying beat down is because OSU is at home and their offense which is supposed to be lights out only managed a FG in biggest half of the season. Michigan dominated that second half in every way and left no doubt.
I'm sure some said that and you are correct....not me. To me, a true beat down has to be decided well before a handful of minutes are left in the game. Just my opinion.

what Clemson did to us a while back in CFP was a beat down (31-0). Or what we did to them a few years later (or what Bama did to us in title game of same year).

Is Colorado required to come out in the 2nd half?

Been following Buffs since 2010. With the exception of one season the program has been a dumpster fire. In football they aren't competitive in the Pac 12. They should be in the MWC.

Would love to see ND pull off the miracle. I just don’t trust the ND QB play. I put it at 30-35% chance ND can win. The QB has to make plays. The ND run offense has to keep the USC offense off the field. ND has to win the turnover margin. Usually if a team gets 2 out of 3 or even 1 out of those 3 they can win a game. ND tonight needs all 3. That USC offense is scary. Magic number is 28. If ND can hold them to 28 they have a chance.
It would be far from a miracle, the USC defense is not good. Line only 4.5.

Is the Big 10 ever going to wise up and do away with Divisions? At least reconfigure, it’s obvious nothing is changing at this point.

Notre Dame would have about 6 sacks if they were playing a normal QB

All I know is it’s stupid to continuously not have 2 of the best 3 teams in the conference in the title game.

Yep basically yearly 4 of the top 5 teams in that conference is in the same division
