  1. Come on, that's well over the line.
  2. You're probably not making a great point about being intellectually honest if you can't even spell intellectually.
  3. They typically only call that if contact is made with an official, even though the rulebook clearly does not require contact. I assume that the reason they don't call it more is because coaches don't want them calling it. Remember when they put the coaches' boxes on the court in basketball? A bunch of coaches got T'd up that first season and there was lots of complaining, and then the next year and since, it was hardly ever called.
  4. I'm OK with one if you get it back if the challenge is successful. Actually, I think the replay system should be coach-initiated and be dependent on the number of timeouts you have. So you start each half with 3 challenges/timeouts and if you make an unsuccessful challenge, you lose the TO. If the challenge is correct, no TO docked.
  5. They need to revamp the replay system, including allowing one coach's challenge each game for penalties, either called or uncalled.
  6. College basketball was my favorite sport when I was in HS. Now, I almost never watch college basketball because the officiating has ruined it. One of the top reasons was that officials could not call block/charge correctly and it encouraged teams to play defense by flopping (hey to Duke). Offensive holding is college football's block/charge call. I don't think any of the holding calls against Texas were incorrect calls yesterday, but they missed several holding calls against UGa. I've forgotten the exact details of Type 1 and Type 2 errors in scientific testing, but that's basically what I'm bitching about -- when they call holding, they're making correct calls, but they're not calling enough of the clear holds. If they can't do a better job, the first thing they need to do is make holding penalties only 5 yards. But, if you want to see the worst non-call of the weekend, though, take a look at Clemson's first TD: This is literally a junior-high-level missed call:
  7. He's right -- if SMU had scheduled Utah State instead of BYU, they would have already been in.
  8. Loooved this one!
  9. They had two linemen 4+ yards downfield.
  10. https://masseyratings.com/ranks?s=cf Sagarin also has Notre Dame #1.
  11. The consensus computer rankings have Boise > ASU The only other ASU game I've seen, they eked out a win over TxSt, and I feel really confident that Boise would destroy the Bobcats....
  12. Tessitore is such a beating. "Everyone" wants the conference champions byes to go away?
  13. Apparently some people just have an innate need to show up and shit on people using hypotheticals.
  14. RIP Listeater:
  15. And you think that's easier than literally getting a free win and then playing another game against anyone seeded lower?
  16. You want to trade a bye for an actual playoff game?
  17. This guy is waaaaaaaaaaay too self-aware to actually be aggy.
