  1. Atlanta just doing Atlanta things.  Ridder turning the ball over.  Ridder giving up a safety.  Their all-world kicker has missed two FGs.  And 4/5 offensive line starters are now out.

    Bijan, I'm sorry bro.  But you should have dropped in the draft.  Would have helped your career out immensely.

    Again, that's assuming he  resumes his ways as a dominant two way player. If he doesn't make it all the  way back as a pitcher, he's a career .274 hitter that averages 28 HRs a year. He won't be nearly the attraction he is now, and will be turning 30 next summer. Its a gamble that he can come back and pitch, and he probably can, but lets not pretend there isnt a certain amount of risk here. 

     

    No, that ain't assuming shit other than he plays baseball.

    Some of you guys don't seem to understand.  This dude is an institution.  They fucking play updates of his performances on the trains in Japan.  He's Messi, Lebron, and Tom Brady rolled into one for Japanese people.  That's an entire race of people who religiously follow one guy.  Hell, the sports media dudes from Japan were worried the Blue Jays were going to get him because it meant having to move their asses to Toronto because their full time jobs are Ohtani.  They have a camera at his games for Japanese TV that just stays on Ohtani the entire game.

    Outside of the Japanese, you ask any sports fan in America who Ohtani is, they know.  Meanwhile, they couldn't name you three other guys in the league unless they specifically are fans of baseball.

    This dude, as long as he suits up and takes the field will print money for the Dodgers.  He'd have to regress to an average MLB hitter plus not be able to pitch before Americans lost interest and the Japanese would still be on him 24/7.  And they've already said the money is going to be stretched out.  They aren't actually paying him $70 mill a year.  He's going to be collecting checks long after he's done with baseball.

    I like the posters in here that think this is a negative for the Dodgers.

    Seriously.

    As long as he doesn't die or somehow become completely unable to play baseball over the next 10 years, he's going to make that organization a filthy amount of money.  And that's if they don't win shit.  If they do start to win rings?  Fuggitaboutit.

    Because it's a wholly different thing than FBS football

    But it shouldn't be, right?

    There are a gazillion FCS teams in like 13 conferences.  They have a legitimate playoff system and everyone is happy with it.  

    It's what needs to happen in FBS.  Make two conferences with some divisions.  Winners go to the conference playoff (with some wildcard spots thrown in).  Conference champs play for the Natty.  Simple.  Effective.  Probably will never happen because it would mean the people at the top giving up the power to unilaterally do shit like keep a blue-blood undefeated program out because they won't bring in the same TV money.

    The sport of college football is a beauty contest. That's literally the sport. It has nothing to do with how it's run (and it's clearly plenty fucked up how it's being run).

     

    Anyone that thinks otherwise is just deluding themselves.

    Well it isn't in the lower CFB leagues.  Somehow there's never a bit of controversy in FCS ball and nobody gives a flying fuck about SOS, the eye test, or completion percentages.  I wonder why.

    USF was entirely a result of Alabama panicking for no fucking reason. If they play Milroe, that game is a laugher. 

    I still think Saban benched Milroe not because he was panicking but because he wanted to shut up all the idiots calling for Milroe's head.  Like, you think Milroe sucks?  Ok, fine.  Here's the other guy against lowly USF and you can see how shit we are.

    My only gripe with FSU not making it in is that they got punished for shit that was out of their control.  They scheduled two P5 OOC opponents.  Both from the SEC.  Beat them both.  Normally Clemson would have been a big win.  So, in a normal year, their SOS would have been fine.  Of course, they probably would have dropped a game in that case, but that's hypotheticals.  They can't help that their QB got hurt near the end of the season.  They went out and won anyway.

    Meanwhile, you've got teams like Georgia who scheduled powerhouses like UT Martin, Ball St., and UAB.  Other than us, Alabama scheduled the mighty Blue Raiders of Middle Tennessee St., South Florida, and the world beaters down at Chattanooga.  And then they strugglebeared with beating teams like Auburn and Arkansas.  

    You're splitting hairs when trying to say Team X's resume is better than Team Y's or this team is better now than this other team.  FSU won on the field.

    Jayden Daniels added 1000 yards on the ground with 10 TDs

    Without Daniels LSU was about a 3 win football team.  He deserves the award and it ain't close.

  8. I think we're wildly lucky that FSU's QB wrecked his leg.  

    The committee was always going to shove an $EC team into the playoff whether they deserved to be there or not.  Travis going down gave them the excuse to kick the Noles.  If it wasn't them it was going to be us.  Gotta have their sweet, precious, E$PN backed team in there no matter what.

    Good to know you can lose by double digits at home, barely squeak by USF, need a last second hail mary to win versus a 6-6 squad, and still get a spot in the CFP over an undefeated P5 conference champ.

    The SEC champ is getting in. Period. There is all kinds of logic to prove there are better more deserving teams but that’s just not realistic.  Somebody is getting fucked between us, UW, and FlaSt. But the SEC champ is not going to be the one left out. 

    Gonna be a real bad look for CFB if an undefeated FSU team gets left out for a Bama squad that lost to us, a team who also gets left out.  

    You can't argue most deserving because FSU is undefeated.  You can't argue best because we beat Bama by double digits in their own house.

     

  10. Listening to the SEC dicklicker announcers is fucking hurting my brain. 

    "The $EC champ deserves to be in the playoff!!!!!"

    Why?  Bama lost AT HOME to us by DOUBLE DIGITS.  Georgia can't even beat them.  Both teams looked fairly evenly matched.  Which means we crush either of them.  Tough titty.

    Surly idiots: "Ewers sucks"

    Quinn: 22/26 for 346 4 TDs and 1 Int

    in the first half.

    Surly geniuses: "Okie Lite's defense is utter trash and got blown out by S. Alabama and UCF."

    He is dealing, though.
