Committee emphases that teams can’t drop. There’s no reason to watch their fake games today. So then they get everyone stirred up that a lil bitty bit of something might happen, if just the right thing(s) happen in the games. So both sides of the mouth talking. Then, the media and fans are suddenly touting theories about what they need to hope for while… watching.
Netted out: today’s games still don’t matter, and three more days of speculation don’t matter. The Tuesday night announcement show doesn’t matter: a waste of time. The almost instantaneous news about what the committee decided will be worth knowing.
No one really believes we will be allowed to host or that Bama won’t be special-privileged in as the sole 3-loss pre-Madonna. They has that great first quarter back in September, ya know.
