This is an actually laughably bad situation for the Big 12 and ACC. College Gameday utterly refuses to travel to a conference game between two ranked opponents in either conference and it’s blatant that the national media will not give flowers to either one. The only chance either of us has is CFP auto bids.

I’m proud of the Coogs. I’m proud of this team. This isn’t how we wanted to end it. I’m sorry Big 12 nation, we let you down. Coog fans, lay off any negative comments on our players. Don’t be a dick. Imagine how these players feel. It’s a million times worse than anything we could possibly feel, and trust me. I feel sick as a lifetime Cougar fan.
