OT: D1

[IUPalum]

Maybe he is but he’s also been a winner everywhere he’s been including his previous stint in the NFL, even if he’s yet to win it all. In some ways Harbaugh reminds me of Andy Reid: great Monday through Saturday coach who makes just enough questionable Sunday decisions to keep blowing it when it counts. That said, winning consistently is tough and Harbaugh has certainly done that. If you were a GM/owner or AD you could do worse than hiring someone who’s got a track record of building very good teams and hoping things come together in the playoffs that one time.

Pretty easy to win where he has been. Tell me why he’d want to go to Denver/Indy that are both disasters!

Them and Indy both are hard after him. I think he’s a douche!

Give the other team from credit. OSU played a helluva game and had a realistic chance to win in the end. Don't know how that is a choke.

The started the 4th with a two score lead and had Jawja on the ropes. That 76 yard TD pass is something you don’t give up at that stage of the game. I knew they’d blow it after that. I wasn’t shocked the winning kick went horribly.

Broncos reportedly after Jim Harbaugh.

I thought Georgia actually drew the most dangerous team in the semis. Ohio State spent the last few weeks hearing about how they got stomped by Michigan, shouldn’t be in the playoffs, etc. They certainly didn’t play well against Michigan but the body of work was pretty darned good. Georgia also isn’t the Georgia of last season. Yes, they’re undefeated, but they lost five guys off the defense to the NFL and it showed. Having had to live in Buckeye land for a few years I’ll tell you I root for whoever they’re playing. That said, they laid it all on the line last night and darned near pulled it off.

The most annoying thing from the evening was hearing from Alabama fans that think somehow they should have been in the playoffs based on how the games went yesterday. Alabama and Ohio State are among the top most annoying fan bases in the country. The Tide lost two games to teams that didn’t even make the playoffs. They were close losses, but they were losses indeed. They also got very lucky against Texas or this would have been a three loss team.

TCU has a puncher’s chance in the final.

You knew they were going to choke. It was inevitable.

Michigan choked but TCU earned that win by choking less LOL! What a turnaround for TCU and how far they've come from Mountain West darling to Big 12 leader. If TCU wins, even though they're Big 12 now, probably gives some credence to opening up the playoff a bit (which makes me happy). Michigan AD has to make sure their season isn't ended by Central Michigan. I don't know if Ann Arbor would recover.

Michigan choked but OSU played their tails off. Georgia is awesome!

Two BIG chokes today.

I don't know. UCLA had every possible bad break after that pick 6.

It's hard to say. Both rosters were decimated by players skipping the game.

It sure was a lot better than Pitt's last Sun Bowl.

[Fightingscot82]

Makes you wonder if Patti played all year instead of train-wreck Slovis.

Pitt's 8 best players sat out this game.

Bowl games are hard to judge much on. Both teams are typically without key players and it’s forever until the next game. That said, winning is better than losing and it leaves a positive feeling in everyone’s minds over the off season. I only watched a couple Pitt games this year but wasn’t impressed with Slovis. The Patti kid is just a tough competitor and they probably don’t win that game yesterday with Slovis.
