On second thought, maybe the bowl selection committee should have matched up undefeated teams. You know, Florida State and Liberty.
That would have avoided the twin calamities in postseason games.
Georgia clobbered FSU, 63-3, in the Orange Bowl.
And on New Year’s Day Arizona, Oregon spotted the Flames the first six points of the game on their initial drive and proceeded to score the next 45 points.
The final was 45-6.
Bo Nix was 28-of-35 for 363 yards with 5 TD passes for the Ducks, who finished 12-2.

The losses? A pair of games to Washington, each by three points.
Liberty, the Group of Five invitee, winds up 13-1.
The ruling on the field stands. https://t.co/AWpcnlCq76 pic.twitter.com/M2x4q0sZNY
