  1. Wait he picked Clemson to win the National Championship? Hahaha
  2. I mean it makes me wonder how much extra value Ohtani turned down from the Mets. Didn't people report that they never made an official offer because it was too high? What the fuck? If you're willing to give Soto $765M in current money then Ohtani is worth a billion.
  3. None of it is deferred, that deal is worth a LOT more than Ohtani's deal.
  4. I mean it makes sense but limiting membership in your own organization is more defensible. They probably would have figured out a way to lose, though.
  5. Don't ask. Just be glad we can be terrible along with our opponents.
  6. I was actually thinking of this yesterday. It added to the frustration of not putting Georgia away in the first half. An extra 11 days off for a total of 3.5 weeks would have been amazing for our banged up squad.
  7. Wasn't there some rule for a while that to be FBS you had to average 30k official attendance (meaning tickets sold)? Or am I making that up?
  8. See? He's 19-8 in GAMES. He's a GAMER.
  9. watchoutforyourcornholebud.gif
  10. Yeah I saw you posted that well before the announcement. I think Boise State should be the 12th seed but with Jeanty they're a media darling.
  11. So yeah, they claimed there was a structure and then did whatever. And one game against a conference foe in 12 seasons can't really be considered a serious rotating format anyway.
  12. Actually the most I remember hearing it this year was when they were trying to hype Hawkins before the OU game. And the media always loves to just believe whatever OU's program says about how great their players are.
  13. Unsurprisingly I saw him looking lost several times but he did better when he was just firing out man on man. Hell of a time for a first start.
  14. That's absurd. What if Boise State had beaten Oregon (extremely possible with how that game played out)?
  15. States with multiple championship berth programs: Alabama - Alabama, Auburn Florida - Florida, Florida St., Miami (FL) Indiana - Indiana, Notre Dame Michigan - Michigan, Michigan St. Ohio - Cincinnati, Ohio St. Texas - SMU, TCU, Texas
  16. List of teams who have made a Bowl Alliance NCG, Bowl Coalition NCG, BCS NCG, or a College Football Playoff: Alabama Arizona St. Auburn Boise St. Cincinnati Clemson Florida Florida St. Georgia Indiana LSU Miami (FL) Michigan Michigan St. Nebraska Notre Dame Ohio St. Oklahoma Oregon Penn St. SMU Southern Cal TCU Tennessee Texas Virginia Tech Washington
  17. They shouldn't have gotten a bye because they're overranked, but that should have nothing to do with it. The conferences aren't playing the playoff, teams are.
  18. I would love to see Texas play Georgia again.
  19. You haven't paid much attention to how the SEC schedules. They do whatever the fuck they want, there is no rotation or format or structure. Texas A&M has played Georgia ONE TIME in 13 seasons. The SEC will continue with an 8 game schedule and we will still play OU, Texas A&M, and Arkansas every year.
  20. That was Van Buren from Mississippi State
  21. That is a hell of a national championship prediction. Ha.
  22. Using my ratings (homefield advantage considered for first round games - I used a slightly inflated figure of 3.5 points because the crowds should be rocking and weather impacts on cross-sectional games, totally ad hoc but they're my ratings so there) Those P(SF) values being highest for Texas and Penn State are what people are angry about (and probably should be). Using my compromise where the Top 4 conference champs are only guaranteed at least a home game it makes things seem more "fair" while still incentivizing conference championships:
  23. It's true about Sankey and Swarbrick, but Klatt and pretty much everyone else are significantly underestimating the benefit of the bye right now. It's weird that's they're all complaining about weaker conference champions getting byes because they're so valuable then acting like Oregon with a bye is screwed.
