  1. I think the people who want the 9-3 or 8-4 SEC/Big 10 teams automatically in the playoffs because they're the best teams at the expense of every other conference's 11-1 or 10-2 team that is clearly not as good because they're not SEC/Big 10 want it. It's the next step to just creating the two mega conferences model. They argue the NFL has rematches in the playoffs so its fine for CFB, while completely ignoring the current vast differences between CFB and the NFL. I haven't looked past the SEC portion of the play-in situation you posted above, but I assume the other conferences will look the same. For the play in scenario you posted, Bama gets to play LSU, who they already beat 42-13. Assuming the higher seeds win the opening games, Tenn gets to play UGA again, who they already beat 31-17. Assuming the higher seeds win that round, UGA gets to play UT who they already beat 30-15. One of the differences between CFB and NFL was if you lost in the regular season it really, really mattered. NFL you can lose to the same team twice in the regular season and beat them in the playoffs and that's the way it's always been and everyone understands that the model when you have 32 teams. Everyone can argue all they want about how expanding the CFB playoffs made more regular season games important because more teams have a chance. That's great and I'm fine with it. But, expansion and more automatic bids to the "good conferences" just guarantees yearly rematches. CFB was about losing to your rival and having to eat it for a year that it killed your season. tOSU loss to Michigan used to be devastating. That loss went from really bad to who gives a shit we're NC in less than two months. So, yeah, I'll complain about more "good" football when more "good" football is watching the same teams play each other twice a year.
  2. Yeah, what we really need are the 9-3 teams that lost conference games to the 3 best teams they played to prove again in the playoffs that they can't beat them. I have no idea why people want to watch Ole Miss lose to UGA a second time instead of watching UGA play Arizona State in a lose and go home game. Just admit you want CFB to be the NFL and create an all SEC/Big 10 CFB Big Boys Division that copies the NFC/AFC model and an Everyone Else CFB Division that operates in a manner more closely resembling CFB than the NFL.
  3. At first I thought "this isn't Trump's America, that's in Toronto". I keep forgetting Canada is the 51st State.
  4. Good creamed spinach is such a good side for a steak dinner.

  6. 7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 doors. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office. ‘Cause you’re fucking fired.”
  7. I think you have to go 2.5 when considering sharts.
  8. He has filed the most beautiful bankruptcies. They're really tremendous. A lot of people say probably the best bankruptcies.

  10. I'd like to say your odds of getting laid are pretty good, but I'm guessing the semi-retired dude is going to clean house.
  11. Walters went so hard extra maga trying to get Trump to appoint him to something and failed. He is very much a mini-Trump. Not very smart and gets by due to ignorant voters who don't care that any real issue is never addressed beyond him saying something convoluted that includes deep state, woke, fake news, liberal, porn in school. And don't forget, no matter how often you lose, never admit you lost. For example: Don't allow press that calls you out on your bullshit, you just remove them right? That sounds familiar. Of course, Walters and his mouthpiece have other thoughts on the result: https://nondoc.com/2024/12/11/kfor-lawsuit-settlement-prohibits-ryan-walters-from-blocking-journalist-access/
  12. I feel like Trump Resort & Spa in Gaza would be a very safe place to vacation.
  13. I can be pretty critical of TV shows, so it seemed like I should check out Lioness when I was told attractive ladies seem to start kissing out of nowhere and Zoe Saldana gets naked to make sure it was a well written, intellectual, factually accurate, true to life series.
  14. He got her by serenading her with: Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy Said the Boobert, said up drop the Boobert
  15. Sounds like they were getting too close to the truth.
  16. You're not supposed to hear about such things, and that's why: https://www.npr.org/2025/01/30/nx-s1-5281162/fcc-npr-pbs-investigation
  17. It's almost like little, or no thought, goes into decisions being made... "Trump reversed his decision to eliminate the “de minimis” loophole that allowed packages from China valued at under $800 to be processed without customs duties or tariffs—a boon for retailers like Shein and Temu—though the order said Trump will get rid of the loophole again once the U.S. commerce secretary establishes a system to “fully and expediently process and collect tariff revenue.”" https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2025/02/07/trump-tariffs-live-updates-exemption-for-chinese-goods-under-800-reinstated-as-reciprocal-tariffs-expected-next-week/
  18. I think @Armybrat's great grandkids fought in the Civil War, maybe he could confirm?
