They need to expand the CFP, they said. It'll be better, they said.
Here’s the reason I don’t like the “at large” part. It is STILL subject to the “eye test”. The SEC might end up with 4 team out of 8 (with 3 being likely many years). 5 P5 champions (conference decides that however they want), plus 1 team from “the rest”. Not sure how to pick that team, maybe the highest rated team from some committee, poll, computer model, or something. Top 2 get byes, then 5 total games. I am NOT trying to get the most “deserving” teams in based on some subjective evaluation by a committee, a poll, or the public at large. I don’t care if the “best” team wins. I’m trying to have an objective (as much as possible) system to fill a playoff and determine a winner of that playoff. The “best team” doesn’t always win the Super Bowl, the World Series, or the NBA Championship either. But the CHAMPION always wins. 6 teams is odd, I’ll admit. The non-P5 selection isn’t perfect. Notre Dame might have too easy a path in. But it makes EVERY P5 championship (game) a huge deal, and prevents schedule gaming from allowing over representing a conference to continue to feed a narrative about how awesome it is.

Orlando fired
You know who has always been a very good DC, who developed defenses that did VERY well against Big 12 offenses, and who may be wearing out his welcome as a head coach? I think he's also done collecting his big paychecks from his former job. (ducking)

Urban Meyer or bust
(Not directed at you specifically, Lando) How many of you who share this opinion were outraged during UM’s scandal at OSU, and believed at the time that he should be fired for what happened under him? For those that did, what changed to make you then want him at UT? Was it a long game, where getting fired made him available? Didn’t seem like the sentiment at the time, at least overall.

You’d never hire another good head coach again.

So Texas HAS to hire a morally bankrupt piece of excrement to not be mediocre? Well, then maybe mediocre is deserved.

I love this. One day after a couple of early wins is “Look at the rest. Show me a loss.” Three weeks later it’s “Look at the rest. Show me a win.” Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Uh, you don't "buy" a companion pass. You earn it by accumulating points. Those same points can then be used for flights, they aren't consumed by getting a companion pass.

Had this exact argument with a buddy. Not sure where I stand on it now/

TRAVEL: Points, Miles, Discounts, Tips, Advice & Questions
Not sure, maybe I'm missing something. Like 4th above, I transfer points to SWA when flights are available for few points and then couple with a companion pass to get the highest $/pt value I see in all of my uses.
