  1. Ah gotcha. They were auto bids. How bizarre.
  2. Ok as somebody who feels very strongly that the best G5 team belongs in the playoffs I am still kind of blown away they put two of them in there. Was that really necessary? Especially as neither was unbeaten and combined for one top 25 win...against North Texas. What the hell happened there? They just didn't want to touch the Notre Dame vs. Texas vs. BYU thing. Lame.
  3. Taking their ball and going home. Ah well. Enjoy winter in northern Indiana Notre Dame. Our team will be having a party with a scrimmage attached to it against Michigan.
  4. Should be fun. Hope we get to see a lot of next year's starters.
  5. True. But the same kind of thing was true during the BCS era.
  6. What a shame
  7. I just think the bottom line is if you lost more than one game and you get a playoff berth it is a gift. I am not going to lose any sleep our 3 loss team didn't make it. Even if some less deserving teams made it in. We had a shot to get it done and we didn't. And yes I understand the perverse scheduling incentives that creates. If it is solely about your losses and not your wins then why take any risks? But college football has always been that way.
  8. Yeah. You cannot compare college to professional leagues.
  9. Same system all the other sports use.
  10. Neither is A&M.
  11. The rules are just guidelines to justify doing whatever it is they want to do.
  12. Well hopefully we will never know.
  13. That was Qatar 2022. A World Cup host I am still amazed happened. Even for FIFA that was an amazing low.
  14. Fair. So long as no undefeated teams get left out again I am alright. 2017 UCF deserves to get blown out by the big boys like any basketball mid major. If we get one major G5 upset every decade in the playoffs I say it was worth it.
  15. Yeah well. I will bitch when it happens. So see you next week I guess.
  16. I do not understand this whine. The G5 gets to compete in every other sport. They get one spot. If they at some point get a super team they will have their shot to win it. I have zero issue with them being in the playoff. Now maybe make it so the G5 school has to be undefeated or something. Sure. But I am not interested in some lame bullshit where some G5 team goes unbeaten and doesn't get a shot. That's fucking bullshit. We set up this damn playoff to stop that garbage from happening and you losers want to bring it back.
  17. Right as his government is threatening war on multiple countries and murdering people. What a fucked up world.
  18. The frustrating part was is that all through that period when they were attacking Biden for being a mush brain, I would agree but point out Trump was in pretty much the same place to crickets. Oh but now we are hypocrites for pointing it out but they aren't. Oh no. And yes the Dem base revolted as well as many major Dem insiders when it became clear to us what condition Joe was in. But I guess that never happened? I am so tired of the endless rewriting of history to make the whataboutisms work.
  19. Yeah and Franklin was supposed to be awesome because he won at Vanderbilt. Getting it done at a small school doesn't always translate to being able to run a major program.
  20. I sort of think the separation of the Executive and the Legislature is a mistake. I think Parliamentary systems might be better...or at least less suspectible to the sort of one man rule our system seems to be. But, to be fair, I haven't done any deep studies on this. Just my impression.
  21. Not me. My cars are cheap. But I can't afford to go to UT Football games anymore. Or barely non-Tuesday UT Baseball games. Or non winter break UT Basketball games. 100K obviously isn't crap anymore. Tons of you fuckers are making me look poor as fuck.
  22. Yes. This has been true for decades. The Founders were wrong and the underlying foundations of the Constitution are flawed. They assumed that Congress would want power. Congress does not. It is weird they assumed this because this exact same process played out in many of the ancient civilizations the Founders were enamoured with. The privledges? The prestige? The wealth? Yes. The power? No. Having power means work and taking risks. Congress is happy to put as much on the President as possible and just keep getting re-elected.
  23. The SEC is going to make us all start playing soccer instead of football soon.
  24. Well I don't know what these Boomers are talking about. My water pressure is great. Sounds like user error.
  25. Wait so is my rep Pete Sessions or John Carter? I guess I will have to wait until the Supreme Court tells me.
