Just got 2 tix to Wasabi Fenway Bowl for me and my son.
Bama's A game beats everyone else's A game. But Bama brought their A game for approximately 6 quarters the whole year. Thy simply were not a good enough team to make the playoffs, despite having (arguably) the best talent in CFB. They lost 3 games and still nearly made the playoff. Their schedule doesnt need to be re-evaluated, they just need to not lose 3 games! I guarantee Nick Saban would say the exact same thing.Quote:

I liked it when the CFB champion had to have a magical season that was nearly flawless. So, when/if a 2 loss or 3 loss team whines about not making it in, it just grinds my gears... if you want to be the national champion you should prove you are the best in the country EVERY WEEK, and if you lost 2 or 3 teams i have a hard time accepting you are deserving of being called the best team in CFB.
Lane Kiffin has increasingly been one of my favorite personalities in CFB to listen to. Always responding to Bama's BS and stirring the pot.Quote:

If they went with strength of schedule, there would be 10 SEC teams in the tourney. Georgia is very beatable, especially on a neutral field without their possie of hand-picked officials.
If Tennessee gets through Ohio State, we have a great shot at making the semi-finals.
Moneyline: Tennessee (+200), Ohio State (-250)
Spread: Tennessee (+7), Ohio State (-7)
The over/under for this CFP first-round matchup is 46.5
Hope the odds makers are right, and Nico shows up along with the offensive line!
Carson Beck likely to miss the Sugar Bowl with arm injury.

Hence the past tense in my post.
Ken, I think the old adage of SEC dominance is proving to be less and less true. NIL has brought a lot of parity to the game and while Lane and Saban can whine all they want, there isn't a clear leader in this playoff, SEC or not. Ten SEC teams? Come on, man.Quote:

But, I do agree that it will be an interesting playoff to see how parity works out. I will still bet that it is likely that three of the final four will be SEC teams.
its happening!!! the hoodie and son to chapel hill!!!

In all fairness, that was arguably Oregon’s worst performance of the year in terms of unforced errors, penalties and general sloppiness. They started horribly with Idaho, then it actually got worse before they put it together. That said, I do think BSU will shock some people in the playoffs. It’s easy for folks who haven’t seen them actually play to write them off but they’re a fucking good football team. It’s happened before…Quote:

Are you arguing that the SECs deep pockets make them immune to the equalizing effects of NIL? Not sure there’s that much discrepancy. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ee8d53133f.jpgQuote:

This is the softest shit ever.
In response to the flag planting at the Horseshoe, an Ohio lawmaker has proposed a bill making flag planting at the Shoe a 5th degree felony.
In the words of Judge Gladys Dykes (probably), "this will go on your permanent record."
What a bunch of delicate flowers in Columbus.

Has the opposing team every tried to plant the flag at the Horseshoe following an Ohio State win? No?Quote:

Clemson, FSU, and UNC are gonna be on the first bus out once the GOR is defeated (or it's at least financially viable). The revenue gap is just too much to overcome.Quote:

i have faith that the media deal will be renewed past '27 and i don't think the fsu and clemson departures are as imminent as is being reported. hell, what i read today says fsu is already backtracking. the whole thing is still very much up in the air. but i do know two things for sure: jim phillips has got to go and greg sankey can go fuck himself.Quote:

How quick will they be good team? Deion turned Colorado around pretty quick and Bill is the better coach. With NIL and transfers they could be legit their first season.. but if they aren't legit by their second season like Colorado was this year would it be considered a let down?
Our schedule is pretty weak next year so the potential is certainly there for an instant turnaround. That said, we are losing a lot in the trenches and have an avg QB. So will need to pull off a major talent injection. But "come be my Tom Brady" has to be a pretty effective recruiting pitch whether that's HS or the portal.Quote:
