Remember the excitement on Dec. 6? Not only did the College Football Playoff selection committee spit out two appetizing semifinal matchups, it delivered a New Year's Six slate seemingly packed with steak and sizzle.
The games turned out to be empty calories. New Year's Six? Try the New Year's Snooze, a series of blowouts that left us bloated and unsatisfied. All six contests were decided by 14 points or more. Average margin of victory: 24.2 points.
Alabama fans and Clemson fans are thrilled. The same holds for those who support Stanford, Ohio State, Houston and Ole Miss.
