The Back Nine comes at you after a Championship Saturday that included a show we have seen before. I’m looking at you, defense.
10. Now that this wild and crazy college football season is basically over in Gainesville (bowl games are just pretend games made for TV, especially in 2020), I think it is important even in the rubble left behind to appreciate what we just saw. The SEC played 97 percent of its games and Florida played 100 percent of its games. There was no shortage of content on TV even when people complained that there weren’t any good games. We will have a playoff and people can scream that it’s unfair, but that’s what we all signed up for – an unfair season in a sport that is already not fair with a broken playoff system. We knew different conferences would play a different number of games. Life isn’t fair. College football isn’t fair. This season certainly was not fair. But it certainly beat the alternative that we were staring at this summer.
