Who the hell thought Purdue belonged in a bowl game?

Especially against an SEC powerhouse.

What, no bowl game for Rutgers?

Purdue allowed 56 in the first half before Auburn stopped passing, and sent in the fourth string, the cheerleaders, the band and the special olympians to run out the clock with running plays. Auburn used 10 different ball carriers, some of them still wearing their band uniforms, and those awkward uniforms really hurt their game. It’s illegal to grab a face mask, but the rules are inexplicably silent when it comes to epaulettes.

The number of bowl games may have gotten out of hand. Purdue finished the season 6-7, and set the dubious record of allowing the most points in any half of a bowl game. This wasn’t the first lopsided bowl of the season. Earlier in the month, Army set the record for the greatest margin of victory in a bowl game, with a 70-14 shellacking of Houston.

Well, anyway, the big four play tomorrow, but Notre Dame and Oklahoma face some long odds.

  1. College football needs an 8 Team REAL playoff. This ‘committee’ thing is nothing more than a re-hash of the old Sportswriters and Coaches polls – -with preset prejudices built in.

    It’s a joke.
