  1. Sherrone and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day - written by Guy B. Horney and illustrated by Hubie J. Eld.
  2. "Decline? You mean how the Deep State was slowly poisoning him because he was making America great again and the libtards who are trying to steal our country wanted to make sure transgender child molesters could prey on our children again?" - MAGA, probably
  3. SCOTUS: "You are wrong and here is a two sentence explanation why you are wrong that is unsupported by anything, but fuck it."
  4. Uh, yeah, obviously, lying is, you know, always assumed.
  5. I could easily be wrong, but I think you can collect unemployment for about 6 months. So, maybe claims are down because people have been unemployed so long they no longer qualify?
  6. I believe people get confused about what the Committee looks at in determining the rankings. I believe what you have posted is when they are trying to slot "comparable teams". In this situation, ND and Miami. Those two are comparable, so they default to what you posted above. That is the tiebreaker check list when teams are "comparable". When ranking the teams, they look at whatever they feel like looking at and are swayed by they eye test whatever former coaches are on the Committee: METRICS There will not be one single metric to assist the committee. Rather, the committee will consider a wide variety of data and information.
  7. "You're such a nasty reporter to act like the economy isn't the best in the history of the world. That's what a lot of people are saying. Just the other day, farmers made twelve billion dollars."
  8. A few months ago, USC talked about ending the ND game because their Big 10 schedule is too hard.
  9. They just don't care. Lies, lies, and more lies, because so many Americans don't mind being lied to on a daily basis. If you point out the lies, you're fake news. If you're fake news, there's a decent chance your outlet will be sanctioned/financially harmed by the government. SCOTUS was the last line of defense and they're in on it all.
  10. Only way this ends is with an incident in which a surly member in attendance is required to change their handle to "Cheezdick".
  11. You might be giving Trump too much credit, he might still be the stupidest person in the room.
  12. At first it's surprising how many incompetent and unqualified people have been placed in positions of power, but then you remember Trump is unqualified and incompetent and it makes perfect sense.
  13. They did say that, fans just ignore it. Amazing how many posts in those game threads recognized the dogshit non-playoff team performance in those games and then somehow think the committee didn’t see the same thing.
  14. I don’t decide it. The committee does. Get a member on the phone and ask them. It’s been the same all along. They have to answer questions week after week about ranking a sport that has hundreds of teams that don’t all play the same type of schedules. Every year they contradict themselves when the chair has to answer questions every week. But it’s been this way as long as I can recall: “team A was far and above Team B in our view, so we didn’t need to go to H2H, common opponents, etc, etc.”
  15. You should probably try to keep your dumbassery confined to the Cowboys thread. You’re literally the reason “shut the fuck up, Drew” exists.
  16. That’s been the rules as long as I can recall. It’s just a lot of dumb fucks don’t bother to understand what they’re whining and bitching about. It’s in the stated criteria again this year. If teams are comparable, hear in what we look at to separate “comparable” teams.
  17. All you had to say is, "I don't have any proof. I can't prove they aren't considering it. I'm just an emotional boy is all."
  18. So, Rubio read the news about how Witkoff told Russia they've got praise Trump and then they can get whatever the want.
  19. I didn't see anything in your post with the proof that the committee isn't considering what it publicly states it considers. Provide your proof. Or, hell, just keep regurgitating your personal wants and desires. It don't make a shit.
  20. Feel free to show me where I made that suggestion. I do not present a scenario of taking away a good win, taking away a bad loss, adding a good loss, and still being 9-3. Due to your avatar, I've noticed your posts, and you and highly regarded go well together.
  21. The College Football Playoff selection committee will announce its first of six rankings on Nov. 4 using enhanced metrics to help evaluate schedule strength and how teams perform against their slate, the CFP announced Wednesday. In the current schedule strength metric, more weight will now be applied to games against strong opponents. A new, added metric of "record strength" will help the committee determine how teams performed against their schedule, rewarding those that beat high-quality opponents while minimizing the penalty of losing to one. These changes will also provide minimal reward for beating a lower-quality opponent while imposing a greater penalty for losing to one. Historically, the selection committee typically has evaluated in this manner, but adding it to a computerized metric should help codify the process publicly. It could also incentivize athletic directors to continue to schedule marquee matchups between blue-blood programs without fear of being penalized for a loss in the committee meeting room. This is something some FBS commissioners have been publicly pushing for and the CFP has been working on over the past six months. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46027603/cfp-selection-committee-use-enhanced-metrics It's interesting because you don't like the ranking, you think it proves they aren't considering the metrics. What evidence do you have to prove their position is not "UT is penalized slightly for losing to tOSU, and penalized a lot for losing to 4-8 UF and 35-10 to UGA. We have them behind the two loss teams because they have 1 good loss, 1 ouch okay loss, and 1 really bad loss. Alabama is the only 2 loss team with a comparable loss, and they nearly cancel it out with the best win of anyone. If UT would've beaten Purdue and had 2 losses, they would be the lowest 2 loss team because of the 35-10 loss and UF." I think UT would be in at 10-2. But, that doesn't change the fact the committee can be following the stated position of what they consider and still have UT outside the playoff. It's not weird fanatics think it's so black and white, but it doesn't change the fact fanatics gonna fanatic and ignore reasonable difference from tunnel vision.
  22. The strength of teams you beat and lose to is literally in the metrics calculation used by the committee. They are literally looking at who you lose to, AND who you play and beat, not just the loss.
  23. Missouri's starting QB was hurt in the 3rd Quarter against Vandy and played against OU.
