  1. Pavia vs JFF WWE cage match
  2. I want aggy to be embarrassed so badly in the CFP, the committee thinks twice about ever giving them an invite and Elko goes on a bender that culminates in
  3. Js1 replied to Derka's topic in Basketball
    Hope we pass
  4. A mudslide is what I'd have after eating that And it would be so worth it.
  5. That's probably too scary
  6. Up to 30 days "away from home" per year, apparently.
  7. It all boils down to money and status, really. ND doesn't have to share their TV money with anyone and not every team going indie is getting a $50m deal with one network. They have enough pull and regional/historic rivalries to get the B1G and ACC to functionally do scheduling agreements with them so they get a good number of P4 opponents per year. Any team who leaves a conference to go indie has to find conferences willing to do the same, and it is likely that upending conference stability by going indie is going to cause the conference you left to refuse scheduling agreements (barring historical rivalries, like Texas would salvage OU, aggy and Arky, but everyone else would probably tell us to pound sand). Same with finding a conference home for your non-FB sports. ND doesn't want to share their CFP money either - up to $20m that is all theirs You have to do it before the CFP format changes and hope you get a built-in ND deal (10-2 gets you in, almost automatically)
  8. As it should be Texas has never gone, so it's a new bowl for our fans Texas guarantees eyeballs
  9. Fine with me.
  10. Though I guess maybe it's not the highest ranked non-CFP, since South Carolina went last year instead of Alabama. But we've never played in that bowl, so I would be surprised if they didn't want us.
  11. Not available outside of TX, LA, Arky, Ok and eastern NM
  12. Nothing *wrong* with waiting, but wouldn't it require either Bama to drop out of the playoffs (but stay above us) or Vandy to miraculously jump us (but stay out of the playoffs)? The SEC maintains it's agreement that Citrus gets the highest ranked non-CFP team. SEC BOWLS AND SELECTION PROCESS Citrus Bowl (Orlando, FL) - first selection after CFP selection process
  13. OU 103, NCST 98 (OT) Vandy 81, Virginia 68 UK 64, Miami 48 Tenn 65, Stanford 62 Syracuse 66, Auburn 60 (OT) Georgia 80, FSU 60 aggy 72, GT 63 SEC goes 6-1 on day 1 of the challenge Texas (-16.5), South Carolina (-14.5), MSST (-24.5), LSU (-18.5) are the big favorites today. The only ACC team favored tonight is VT by 1.5 (though no odds listed for Missouri and Cal).
  14. It's really been the past 5 years I think that softball has started showing more parity. Some teams seeded nationally 8-16 would make the WCWS, but it was really in the last 5 years, starting with JMU in 2021, that you started to get 1-2 (or more) unseeded teams in OKC. In the umbrella of women's bracket sports, softball is least chalky. But its way chalkier than NCAA baseball. Baseball has 5 unseeded champions since 2008
  15. I actually like that a lot. The ACC wants to help them with the scheduling agreement, then they should functionally be forced to lose their spot to ND if ND finishes ranked higher than their champ.
  16. It wasn't a very good one then
  17. Why? We already beat them.
  18. Yep, in VB, you might get an unseeded team (or a team seeded 5-8) in the regional semifinals. Wouldn't bet too much on them going any further. Same with WBB - usually the superior talent and coaching beats back any potential upsets of teams outside the top 16 by the Sweet 16. The most notable I can think of in the last 5-ish years was 10 seed Creighton making the Elite 8 in 2022 and 9 seed Miami making the Elite 8 in 2023. In VB, an 11 seed won it all (2004) and an unseeded team made the finals (BYU) in 2014. Been a long time. I think softball might be the least chalky - there's also an unseeded team or two (or three sometimes) in the WCWS, and one made it all the way to the finals in 2022 (holla).
  19. Isn’t Dustin in a bunch of Broadway shows?
  20. A lot of them do. You seem sensitive about it
  21. Yay?
  22. Cancelled too soon
  23. Unless/until a CCG loser in the top 10 gets knocked out of the playoffs, they won’t go away
  24. One of the at-large is automatically ND's*, so more like SEC champ + 6 potential at-large spots for Texas. *as the committee has clearly made it plain as day this year, they are in at 10-2 and their schedule sets them up for 10-2 or better for the rest of forever.
