    yeah, exactly this. 

    I don't know if he can get them to 8-4 or not, but even if he goes 4-8 three straight years and gets canned, they're hardly worse off and there's a good chance his neurotic anal-retentive routine will help improve a lot of the atmospherics around UNC football, a la Come Early Wear Orange etc etc

    BON's staff strike me as the kind of millenial writers who think UNC should hire Kevin Kelley from Pulaski Academy or maybe Condoleeza Rice. Or possibly a Madden champ.

    Oh is the SEC media playing along? Are they claiming this was just so much better than that meaningless boring Kick 6 game?

    there have been a dozen SEC championship games that were "better" than the LSU-A&M game, but the SEC really wants fetch to happen

  3. I would say Northwestern's not going to beat Ohio State and all the panty-wringing is a waste of time, but then I thought Michigan would shitstomp Ohio State and it turns out I was fooled again by their (UM's) defense shutting down all the garbage offenses they played.

    I do think Ohio State will beat Northwestern, but it won't matter what the score is. If OU beats us, they're going to the playoff. If we beat OU and Ohio State wins, Ohio State goes. If we and Northwestern wins, it will be Georgia if it loses by less than ten points, UCF if Alabama blows Georgia out. And finally, if Georgia wins, both OU and Ohio State get left out in favor of Alabama. In that scenario, the committee will match Notre Dame and Alabama in the first round.

    There is no other possible playoff configuration beyond those. Michigan, Texas, Washington, Florida, and LSU are out.

    Read up on this asshole's background. It has everything to do with his long-standing political crusade.

    but if I don't read up on it and don't know about it, can I still have an opinion on the original post?

    They also have to help pay for the production cost.

    Homer Simpson: Okay, boy. This is where all the hard work, sacrifice, and painful scaldings pay off.

    Employee: Four pounds of grease... that comes to... sixty-three cents.

    Homer Simpson: Woo-hoo!

    Bart Simpson: Dad, all that bacon cost twenty-seven dollars.

    Homer Simpson: Yeah, but your mom paid for that!

    Bart Simpson: But doesn't she get her money from you?

    Homer Simpson: And I get my money from grease! What's the problem?

  6. there is nothing Texas can do to get in ahead of Michigan, we could win 69-0 and it wouldn't get any farther than one of the TV sports people saying "I GOT A CRAZY IDEA WHAT ABOUT TEXAS IN THE PLAYOFF" and the other guy yelling "QUITE FRANKLY THAT IS ABSURD THIS IS A TEAM THAT LOST TO MARY LAND" and the first guy saying "YEAH BUT MARY LAND ALMOST BEAT OHIO STATE" and the other guy yelling "THAT IS A TEAM THAT LOST TO PURDUE" and what the fuck where we talking about again?

    The Texans ownership need to pay whatever it costs to go back to the Oilers.

    no no, see, the TexansTM are focus-group tested, as is the Lone Star Bull LogoTM and the Official ColorsTM of Deep Steel BlueTM, Battle RedTM, and Legally Enforceable Copyright Form WhiteTM

     

  9. Collapse the P5 to P4. The four P4 champions are the top 4 seeds and get a first-round bye. The next eight can be whatever we want. Those eight play four games hosted by the higher-seeded teams, then advance to play the 2nd round at the campus of the P4 champs. Semis and championship round at bowl sites.

    I like the idea of making winning your conference REALLY valuable.

    Just like every SEC team that loses will only lose because they're disappointed and the only that really matters is what Bama does you stupid sip.

    Bama is not immune to this either. They "only" lost to Utah and OU in the Sugar Bowl because they had sads over not being invited to the playoff. I would say "ask any Alabama fan" but you can't ask them that directly, they are too clever to admit to it in that context. You have to wait until those games are brought up indirectly, like this:

    Sportswriter: "Alabama looks like the best team in the country, but Saban's teams aren't invincible in the post-season. Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and even Utah have found ways to stop the juggernaut in the past."

    Alabama fan: "HEY NAW THAT AIN'T RIGHT WE ONLY LOST TO UTAH AND OKLAHOMA CAUSE OUR PLAYERS DIN'T WANT TO PLAY IN NO BOWL GAMES!!!!!!"
