Monday, December 3, 2018 – The Games Are Set
The Committee has spoken. Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma and Notre Dame. Those are the four that are in.
This leaves Georgia, Ohio State and most everybody else mad. The Big 12 wanted OU and not two teams from the SEC. Everybody is tired of Alabama except Alabama. They just keep on rolling.
I am so happy Notre Dame is playing Clemson on December 29 in the Cotton Bowl. The Cotton Bowl has never been kind to the Irish. Go Clemson.
There are 33 bowl games between December 15 and January 1. That is way too many to give comments. Unless you or your child or grandchild attends one of the universities, no one really cares about who is playing until the end of December.
Let’s take a preview of some of the action. One more thing. The SEC. It just means more. As in, 11 teams in bowl games.
