Message: [QUOTE="nomar, post: 4494293, member: 651"] There were a whole series of SBs that weren't competitive. From SB XV (Raiders over Skins) through XXIX (Niners over Bolts), only 3 games were decided by less than 19 points. And there were some tremendous blowouts, with the Niners beating the Broncos 55-10 and the Cowboys beating the Bills 52-17. And keep in mind, those are with 2 rosters filled with All-Pros, not one roster littered with 5-star recruits against another made up of 3-stars and transfers. Without having done the research, I would bet there is a higher percentage of blowouts in national title games than in other playoff games. I think once a big lead is established, there is some extra adrenaline on one side and defeatism on the other, all exacerbated by the understanding that the season is about to end, that turns beatings into blowouts.
