I think I'm rooting for Auburn, for the Outback promotion. Auburn is tied to the Blooming Onion.
After having the Blooming Onion in 2017, and the Coconut Shrimp in 2019, I prefer the Blooming Onion. If they do the Coconut Shrimp this year, then I probably won't go.

Congrats to Minnesota.
I hate how the broadcasters called this game an "appetizer", just because it was an early game.
This was as good of a game as you'll see.
Seemed like Minnesota played a perfect 4th quarter, to take and hold the lead.

Why didn't they have these games on New Year's Day in 2017? Is that because New Year's Day was on a Sunday, and they didn't want to compete with the NFL? They had the games on January 2nd.
Why did January 2nd have the Cotton Bowl in 2017, but in 2020, it's the Citrus Bowl?

It appears from New Year's Day 2018 and onwards, the Citrus Bowl replaced the Cotton Bowl. But why?

Ok, during the 2014 season (2015 new year's day), they had both the cotton bowl and citrus bowl on new year's day 2015.
During the 2015 season, Cotton Bowl Dec. 31, Citrus Bowl Jan 1st.
2016 season, Cotton Bowl Jan. 2nd 2017, Citrus Bowl Dec. 31 2016.
2017 season, Cotton Bowl Dec. 29, Citrus Jan 1st.
2018 season, Cotton Dec. 29th, Citrus Jan 1st.
2019 season, Cotton Dec. 28th, Citrus Jan 1st.
Why did they change things around so much during those first few years?
I like seeing more consistency.

A lot of early scoring, 7-6 Oregon, early in the 1st.

It appears from New Year's Day 2018 and onwards, the Citrus Bowl replaced the Cotton Bowl. But why? each year the major bowls rotate so they can all share the Nat Champ game. Great win for Sota. tough loss for Wisc.

The Sugar Bowl was boring, it wasn't close.
I got all 3 ESPN games right!
I don't understand how they can have a Gatorade shower on the field, with 13 seconds left? I know the other team can't catch up, but why isn't it like the NBA or NHL, where the clock has to run out before non-players can enter the field?
What is the official result of the offensive play during those final seconds? Is there a gain or loss recorded?

He is usually bringing in the 2nd best recruiting class in the Big Ten (next to Ohio State). Nationally, his recruiting classes are normally top 10 or top 15. Harbaugh is supposed to be a QB guru. He hasn't shown that yet.
