Okay, so here we are, the last "Saturday" of college football season 2023, and we have a slate of four games today to ponder. Oddly enough, there will be no prime time watching, for whatever reasons, as the last game of today will be 4:30pm, though this may be good for some of our livers! Anyway...so onward to the schedule. (#11) Ole Miss @ (#10) Penn State in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl- 12pm. (Hey...it's a Bowl game name I can relate to! Wow!!!) (4th & 31) Auburn @ Maryland in the TransPerfect Music City Bowl- 2:00pm (And, man could I stand to have a plateful of crab cakes when this kicks off! Also, on a sidetone, what is "TransPerfect"?? ) (#6) Georgia @ (#5/aka...Opt Out) Florida State in the Capital One Orange Bowl- 4pm And, we finish up with... Toledo @ Wyoming in the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl- 4:30pm So, we have two B1G vs SEC, one ACC vs SEC and a MAC vs Mountain West match ups, for those who are tracking Conference Bowl Records. I hope this will find you in your seats for the final Saturday and get treated to some exciting games as we set ourselves up for a NYD to determine who is playing in the "2024" Championship Game. Cheers, and to a kind day ahead!

Officials are having challenging 1st quarter in Atlanta. Both coaches just shy of enraged. Sart really hobbled.

He is at the stadium. I was going to meet them after the game at the Biergarten, but my back has been an issue for couple of weeks.

Ole Miss dominating now, but they need to shut up. A lot of trash talking.
The fans' SEC chant is going to start happening again any time the conference is paired with the B1G. Saw it in the Mizzou game last night. Heard it mockingly from the Clemson fans when beating Kentucky.

The board is dead and has been throughout the bowl season. Seems like everyone has lost their enthusiasm for opt out games.

I was at my niece's birthday party earlier today. Driving home listening to the Ole Miss broadcast. Was surprised to see that Ole Miss has faced 13 Australian punters this year. Every punter they faced was from Australia.

Hats off to Ole Miss! They outplayed and outcoached PSU today in all phases. I’d make a donation to replace Franklin if I could. Hell I’d do an even up swap with Ole Miss for Kiffin.

Really strange seeing the sun out at an Orange Bowl.

I should have given the Dawgs more points in my prediction - 42 to 17. They will probably put more than 50 points on the board.

I don't think the Noles goes for it. If they don't make a first down - Katy bar the door.

I am pretty sure they will. They need to keep the ball away from Georgia. What a play by Ladd McConkey. My goodness, we missed him this year.

This game is going about the way I thought it would go. Georgia in total command. Noles are missing too many players.

it would appear we don't have to worry about that FSU NC thing...... and the Committee can sit bak and say 'we told you so"

It's not really fair to single out FSU because most teams not in the CFP have players who opted out for the draft or hit the portal, but if I was an FSU fan I would be extremely disappointed. You would think they as a team would have pulled together to prove a point to the college football world that they deserved to have a shot in the CFP, and stand by their fellow players in an "us against the world" mentality. This is sad after the season they had.

I confess, this is even a bigger mismatch than I thought it would be. I realize FSU is terribly undermanned. But I have to give credit to Kirby and this team. They took the game seriously and they had no true opt outs. Georgia was really all in on the game. The guy is one hell of a motivator.

I hope we get to see Gunner Stockton in the second half.
