Well the games tonight went about how I expected them to. It’s a shame that a good quality team couldn’t have gotten over an “undefeated” Notre Dame. The sh**show that put on today was embarrassing and I wish a better team like Georgia could have gotten in instead of them.

On another note, I’m looking forward to LSU destroying UCF this week.

If UCF could beat Auburn last year, than they most certainly can beat LSU this year.

They won’t. Last year was a fluke. Plain and simple.

On another note, you once again picked against Alabama lol.

Yeah...on one hand I'm not shocked Alabama won...but on the other hand, I'm quite disappointed that Oklahoma didn't put up more of a fight.

For the final, I'll take Alabama over Clemson 20-17.

You’ve picked against Alabama like 4 times this year lol.

He's probably jinxed them now.

It was a good game but the “defending National Champions” have FINALLY gone down. Lost to a team with 3 losses and missing half of their starters on defense.

Very nice to have that arrogant bunch humbled.

Yep.  If UCF had been in the SEC, they probably would have finished on the upper end of the middle of the pack.  Finishing that high in the SEC still indicates a really good team, but I think that sums up UCF: they've been a really good team these past two years, but not a great (playoff-caliber) team.

On a very sad note, Purdue fan Tyler Trent has died from cancer at the age of 20.

A football icon passing on New Year's Day is the equivalent of losing a President on July 4. Likely the only story-line that anyone will ever take away from the 2018 season achieves its divinely-written story ending for the eventual movie.

Way off-topic, but an interesting factoid (which I'm sure many Atlas users already know) is that Presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the driving forces behind the Declaration of Independence, both died on July 4, 1826 -- the Declaration's 50th anniversary.  Jefferson was 83 and Adams was 90.

31-17 Bama, but I'll confess I'm not that excited about seeing this matchup again.

Well, this was not one of my better predictions.

NYE's streak continues.
