Is it just me, or if my son were killed in a mass shooting earlier in the week, I might not feel like taking in the Big Ten Championship at mid-field, on camera?
Kenny Picket just pulled a fake slide and kept running for a TD.
Might have been the coolest move I've ever seen. Holy ****.

Everyone grieves differently. Can’t judge because you have no idea whats going through their minds.
Don't past results suggest a G5 team can usually play with a P5 team in a major bowl game when given a chance? Below are games I found between a P5 team and a non-P5 team in a New Year's Six bowl game the past 20 years. I put a (*) by the games with a point differential of 14+ games. P5 teams won 4 of those games, but also lost 3. Overall it's 8-7 in favor of the non-P5.
There's also the 2009 Fiesta Bowl where they cowardly put 2 really strong non-P5 teams against each other. Boise St beat TCU 17-10 [non-con Boise beat Oregon and TCU beat Virginia and Clemson]
Also added non-con P5 games for the non-P5 team in brackets at end.

(*)2019: Penn St beats Memphis 53-39 [Ole Miss]
2016: Wisconsin beats Western Michigan 24-16 [Northwestern, Illinois]

have fun with the decline of the sport because of the asinine decision making takes place at the top
the sec will probably break away from the ncaa and establish its own semi-professional league and the sport will start to implode
Agree.... but I have to say that the mother looked like she didn't want to be there at all. The rest of the family did.
ha my point is what's the point of these conference championships if the results don't matter
why go to the games or watch them if we already know georgia/alabama/ohio state are getting in because they have the "best team"
You’re not wrong. A convincing loss at this point in the season to another team that will be in the playoff should be treated as a playoff loss, in my opinion. Let someone else get their shot.
