College football is on its second season of a four team playoff to a
champion. The last games of the season
before assigning bowl games and playoff spots was the league championship games
held today. #1 Clemson and #2 Alabama both won. #3 Oklahoma is in the only league that does
not have a championship game from two divisional winners such as North vs.
South in the Pac12.
#4 Iowa played #5 Michigan State for the Big 12 conference championship
and last spot in the playoffs. It was
the last game of the regular (not bowl) season going down to the wire. Michigan State scored a must-have touchdown
with 30 seconds left in the game. It
was a fantastic finish with an 18-year freshman getting tackled by 5 bigger and
slightly older guys before the goal line and still making 3 yards to score the
game winner on the their all-but-last chance.
It was a perfect finish to a great regular season of college football.
There has been 600-ish college football games this fall. I am grateful for all the entertaining great
plays, feats of athleticism & teamwork, and great finishes. Good luck to all in the holiday bowl
games. May all the games have a exciting
ending.
