Comparing The BCS Rankings To The Current CFB Playoff Rankings: A Night And Day Difference

Posted by | Dec 11, 2020 | , | 0 |

Reading Time: 2 minutes About one month ago, I was lucky enough to do something that most people have not been able to do since March of ’20: Attend a professional sporting event. Here, I will break down just how different my experience was compared to what a normal game would be like.The game that I was lucky enough to attend was an MLS match between Inter Miami CF and Toronto FC.
