  1. Can't afford to frisée chance with him.
  2. Except for Duvernay.
  3. Not sure they could find an easier matchup.
  4. This. The extension is dumb in a vacuum, but look at the coaching carousel going on. Hard to tell if it was actually the wrong choice for them or not without being a prophet. They could have ended up a lot worse off.
  5. Think that first slant should have been thrown? On one hand it looks like he can fit it in. On the other hand, the LB doesn't react at all to the clear or underneath routes.
  6. Probably not. Underutilizing Bijan and Pitts has been a common theme.
  7. Pretty sure it's an optical illusion. He drags his back toe on the ground for basically his entire follow-through. Most QBs tire swing the leg around around or flip it out at the knee like they are kicking a hacky sack, so it's more obvious there's no weight on it. It's a little bit more obvious he is doing the hackysack from the front angle, just dragging the toe.
  8. I dunno about throwaway, but it also wasn't close to the first thing discussed about the hire. It's past the cutoff point of the YT upload of the presser.
  9. His stat line isn't any worse than Tua, but it's also not noticeably better.
  10. El-Hadi out could really hurt.
  11. Been looking through the actual news around the commissioner meetings. and leading proposals seem to be: 16: 5 + 11 - The most likely next format that no one likes but everyone will agree to not sue over. 16: 4-4-2-2 + 4 - P2 get 4 autos, M2 get 2 autos, 4 at-large - The SEC/B1G proposal, but B12 and ACC aren't ready to grant disproportional autos. 16: 4-4-4-4 - P4 get 4 autos. - The follow up from 4-4-2-2, the B12 is reluctant to cut out the G5 in the fear that it is next on the chopping block. 24: 4-4-4-4 + 8 - ACC wants a giant playoff --- Expansion seems like ass at this point, but it's where decision-makers are heading. The B12 and ACC are probably right to not accept reality as the middle tier. I kind of don't like it either as the quality of conferences and teams changes over time, but the 4-4-2-2 format actually make the most sense at this singular moment in time. 16x 4-4-4-4 will put a lot of teams in that don't deserve to be while also blocking teams that do deserve to be. 24 just seems dumb.
  12. These are all good points. I'm not gonna go back and forth because I don't really feel strongly either way, and I don't think we've seen either team play enough quality football to really make these sort of minute judgments. The few things I'm confident in are (1) all 4 units are able to beat up on bad teams, and (2) Oregon is a good offense that has faded against good defenses (feels like they've been this way for a decade). My model favors Tech pretty decently and it's 4-0 SU and 4-0 ATS thus far....so you've got that going for you.
  13. I honestly don't think they do. They mess up the dullard discussion (LSU beating a "top 5" Clemson, etc.), occasionally AP voters, but not the CFP.
  14. It's all relative, right? You can say Maiava went 25-43 for 303 against Oregon but what a lot of people would consider a top 10 QB and is not exactly comparable to Maalik going 25-44 and 281 against Tech. So, no, they've held up against good competition and dominated bad competition.
  15. A&M 35-22. JMU is still JMU, which is why it's silly to have them in the CFP.
