Football 2016: Championship Weekend

Watching Texas A&M fold their tents in the month of November for the third consecutive season sucked the enthusiasm for college football out of me. This weekend, good teams will be playing for slots as top dogs in their conferences. This is unlikely to be an experience Texas A&M will enjoy in this decade (or maybe ever).

In the games played as of 7:00 PM on Saturday:
  • Washington 41 Colorado 10
  • Oklahoma 38 Oklahoma State 20
  • West Virginia 24 Baylor 21
  • Alabama 54 Florida 16
Alabama looks like the toughest kid on the block. I watched some of the SEC championship game, until I realized it would be impossible for Florida to win. That came in the third quarter, after Bama followed a goal-line stand with a 98 yard TD drive of their own, making the score 40-16.

Games played Saturday night:
  • ACC Championship: Clemson 42 Virginia Tech 35
  • Big Ten: Penn State 38 Wisconsin 31
