Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

SEC teams in bowl games this season..........

-- Ole Miss 25, Ga Tech 17-- Tech's QB went 5-17 passing, transferred after the game.

-- Mississippi State 44, Rice 7-- Bulldogs went 3-5 in SEC; Rice won the C-USA title. Slight difference in level of competition.

-- Texas A&M 52, Duke 48-- Blue Devils led 38-17 at the half; Johnny Manziel made his last college game a memorable one.

-- LSU 21, Iowa 14-- Tigers had lost last two bowls; figured they would show up focused for this one.

-- Nebraska 24, Georgia 19-- 99-yard TD pass broke the game open.

-- South Carolina 34, Wisconsin 24-- Shaw was 22-25/312, with receivers having a great day. Ellington turned pro after the game.

-- Oklahoma 45, Alabama 31-- Trevor Knight 348 passing yards? Oy.

-- Missouri 41, Oklahoma State 31-- Pinkel managed to juggle two QBs and keep his offense potent; hard to do.

-- Vanderbilt 41, Houston 24-- Commodores blew 24-0 lead, then pulled away late, despite completing only six of 19 passes.

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Random thoughts on a winter day........

13) Quite a day for the NFL, with two tremendous playoff games; feel bad for Chief fans, going two decades without a playoff win and then having this happen, blowing a 38-10 lead in the second half. Colts face Denver if the Bengals win Sunday.

12) 10 of the last 13 Super Bowl winners won at least one road playoff game that season.

11) Titans fired Mike Munchak; not sure what took them so long, or if he wants the Penn State job, or if Penn State wants him. Not saying Munchak deserved to be fired, but generally those moves are made little more quickly.

10) If you care about such things, favorites covered the last six national title games in college football.

9) Pitt 74, NC State 62-- Panthers fell behind 17-2 on road in their first-ever ACC basketball game, then stormed from behind to win.

8) Georgetown 77, St John's 60-- Someone at ESPN is going to lose their job when Steve Lavin returns to the network in a year or two. This game was 42-16 at halftime, and Georgetown isn't that good.

7) University of Portland has a machine that tracks the arc of a shooter's shot as he practices; guy on TV said 43 degrees is ideal. Alrighty then.

6) College basketball refs lean on replay way too much; there are three of them, how can they have to look at so many replays?

5) Indirect effect of Syracuse going to ACC: local channel 51, which no one watches, picked up Saturday noon ACC basketball package, probably because Syracuse is now in the ACC. They never had this package before. I live two hours east of Syracuse; lot of Orange fans here.

4) East Carolina-Tulane-Tulsa are joining the AAC next year, replacing Louisville/Rutgers. This ain't a positive move for the league, especially when it comes to basketball. Not a lot of tradition there.

3) Knicks lost Friday night after JR Smith jacked a 3 with 0:21 left and score tied; they could've held ball for last shot. He said he thought the Knicks were losing, which explains a lot about JR Smith-- low basketball IQ.

2) Looking forward to the USC-UCLA hoop game this afternoon; first meeting between Enfield-Alford, in what should be an excellent rivalry. It is already a big rivalry in the recruiting arena; now we'll see it on the court.

1) Jacksonville Jaguars finished 4-12; all four teams they beat fired their coach. Thats a bad season.
