Agreed. I don’t know why 12 became the number. I guess they were trying to preserve the value of being a conference champion, which I don’t completely disagree with. However, the big argument against this for so long was that it made the season too long. A 16 team playoff takes just as many...

Agree, but at least their (current) plan is to give the byes to Conference champions, not the arbitrarily ranked 1-4 teams.

I disagree… it happens more often than you think, but really good teams find ways to win ugly. If it’s a “W,” it makes the let down a lot more palatable, if not completely ignored by anyone outside of the locker room We aren’t good enough to sleep walk past very many college football teams. To...

Two cherry picks from this; 1. Team improvement and regression are never linear. Both teams are subject to “ups and downs” each week, so it can sometimes result in wild outcomes. I think you saw a Pitt team that was hyper motivated to salvage a season vs a Lville team that just came off of a...

The biggest flaw in the AP is that the entire notion of the press being the most informed resource is very likely untrue at this point. It probably made sense years ago to let the people who “did this for a living” opine on the relative strength of teams that most of the country didn’t ever get...

not to mention, receivers are pretty well protected. They are going to get the benefit of the doubt most of the time, so you may get the 15 instead. Even if your receiver can’t make a catch, he can pretty much maul the defender to avoid the INT. Offensive PI is only called on pick plays!

It’s probably hard for some here to see Prime’s team collapse in such a fashion… such grotesque lapses in play / effort are unique to Key (and other really bad coaches) right? Might be a tough game for the “no such thing as momentum” guys too. ;) I think you’re right with regard to their...

I would love to know the play we had on the first incompletion. (Someone probably does… old school telestrator dissection would be fun) The pocket didn’t last long, but I suspect the desired first read (or two) were covered and the crossing route was a 2nd / 3rd in a normal situation. If my...

But to any aspiring traffic engineers here, please don’t try to shove these things into less than a square acre. Anything smaller is a dysfunctional 4-way stop. :)

I like it. We could just go back to divisions: Atlantic Coast Division: GT, VT, UVA, Pitt, Lville, BC, Cuse, NCST, WF, Duke, SMU, Cal, Stanford Wannabe Big Southeast Division (all play home / home annually): Clem, FSU, Miami, UNC, ND Two best records play for conference title.

Agreed… I won’t re-list all of the good mentions above, but a new(ish) one that really impressed me is A Quiet Place. The tension in that movie was incredible. Sequels, not so much, but the first one was great. Also, the twist ending to Rudy… scariest dang thing I’ve seen. That little...

College football missed that exit years ago. It’s hurtling toward something, but that sure ain’t it!

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: So long Deacs and Cards… we barely knew ye…

If we lose Wake or L’ville, I am launching a formal complaint. That would be the last stinking straw for me.

Maturity is so…

If it were me, I would also add the following notation, “with his final, fateful carry of the day, Miami running back Dan Chaney, Jr eclipsed 100 yards rushing for the first time in his collegiate career.“ Let’s give the young man his due. :devil:

Seems like an appropriate time for you to select the winner of your naming contest. An official Wikipedia page needs a snappy, unforgettable title…. Now is the moment… Cement your place in history! :D

Nice try… you almost drew me back in. You’re over there, all fired up, sayin, “hey man, you’ve got 99… you’re just one away from a career day! One more, just one! Go get it! Its right there!” Nope…I’m taking the knee. ;)

Not yet, but each week we can get a little closer.

Fair point #1… impending contact shouldn’t be necessary for an actual slide. We have split every possible hair getting to #2 when the bottom line is don’t give the official a reason to misinterpret or influence the outcome. I would hate for our guys (particularly in a loss) to be the reason...
