DW> Utah is Pac-12. Is that what you meant?

No. Big 12 finishes 1-5. Utah 10-2 ranked 11th in country. Loses to the 2 teams with a pulse. They were greatly overrated. That's why I said they were a hoax.

DW> IMHO, while some teams in the Big 10 were over-rated this year, I think
DW> Minnesota was under-rated.

I was a PJ Fleck believer when A&M was looking for a coach before Jimbo.

DW> Some of those teams really get up for their games, especially if
DW> it is a chance to knock-off a team who expected to make it.
DW> This trend of players sitting out bowls may start to take a toll, though.

Until this year (Georgia), the No. 5 team was 0-5 in bowls. Hard to get up when looking in. I think the lower rated teams need the bowls for the extra practice and recruiting.
You are correct. That was part of the playoff picture.  If you're a projected 2nd rounder and your team is playing a non-P5 school in the Meineke Car Care Bowl, do you risk getting hurt in a bowl that all you get is a trophy?

DW> final 4 games don't mean much to me this year. If LSU doesn't win, and
DW> big, I will be shocked. I think they are in a league of their own this
DW> year.

That is true. Will like to see what happens post-Burrow.
At least Kentucky (the state) goes 3-0.
