Moderators Blake Munroe Posted January 4 Moderators Posted January 4 Some random CFB facts from the past week or so that I compiled for our OTF group chat. Thought I would share here as well: - Notre Dame’s win over Georgia was their first NY6 bowl win in 31 YEARS. - Georgia’s loss was their first non-SEC loss in six years. - Favorites in the CFP are now 8-0 straight up and 7-1 against the spread. Texas scraping by Arizona State is the 1. - Notre Dame is the first team ever to beat an AP-ranked opponent in 6 different months in the same season - For the first time ever, no Heisman semifinalist made the CFP semis - Ohio State has advanced through the CFP by an average winning margin of 22.5 points - The ACC finished bowl season with a 2-11 record - Georgia Tech was the most watched ACC team this season, averaging 3.1 mil viewers per game - Not a single team featured in Allstate Bowl commercials won their bowl game - Not a single conference champion won a game in the CFP - The SEC has gone 20-10 against other P5 conferences this year. The next best conference is the Big 10 at 13-12. 10 Quote

I noticed Bobby said that after Texas won the SWC and NC for the 1969 season and the 1970 Cotton Bowl...the teams finishing #2-#4 in the final AP poll are the same teams playing in this year's CFP final four. Some of the true Blue Bloods of CFB. The 1970 Cotton Bowl was a big deal at the time mainly because Notre Dame had a policy of not participating in Bowl Games back then and made an exception to play #1 Texas in Dallas. Quote
Burnt Orange Horn Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Bowl money had a great influence on the ND decision. Texas being #1 did not hurt, either. Quote
