There were complaints in the BCS era that top teams left their starters in too long to pile up points (one of the reasons we have the concept of “garbage time”), but teams had a idea of what they had to do to qualify. Now, the rules are made up and the points don’t matter

What are you talking about? Every one of the big leagues puts teams like that in the playoffs. Baltimore won a superbowl with a QB that couldn’t hit the water from the dock.

Not picking on your comment—you were just the last in the thread on Sims I’m not going to say how long I’ve been a fan, but the great QBs have been much rarer than the QBs that weren’t Lots of fans talk about natural talent and “things you can’t coach”, but what I’ve seen is that the players...

You nailed that point.

Air Force is in the Armed Forces bowl. That’s your postseason military academy bowl for this season

If I read this correctly, this costs the ACC $6 million If FSU goes to the semifinals, then Louisville goes to the Orange Bowl. That’s $6 million for the semifinals and $4 million for the Orange Bowl With FSU going to the Orange Bowl, the ACC just gets $4 million The publicity and other...

Can’t figure out why he’d leave BYU for UVA, do ok with them, retire, then come back to New Mexico

Ketamine and horse tranquilizers. Hunter S Thompson isn’t dead, and was hanging out on the bus with us

Obviously, we should only play ranked teams

Maybe he would. Maybe he should transfer. I don’t know—I lost track of him after he decommitted

SMU is top 25, and should have the G5 NY6 bowl Stanford is one of the richest AAs in football

Enjoy, or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe not funny to everyone, but it’s definitely a Georgia story Man steals Marta bus, drops off passengers at Waffle House, gets caught at Stone Mountain Park https://www.ajc.com/news/crime/man-accused-of-stealing-marta-bus-dropping-off-passenger-at-waffle-house/TDXKKU2GSNAK5FSRUN3Y2VBAJQ/

DeSantis is asking the Florida Legislature to fund a lawsuit. https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2023/12/05/desantis-fsu-football-playoff-florida-state-cfp/?outputType=amp

The mature way to do this is for a unified delegation go to Congress and ask for antitrust protection in exchange for benefits protections for the players, open policies and oversight, and joint TV rights (e.g. go away from the super conferences). I’m not naive though—that isn’t going anywhere...

I almost brought that up—not the Jetsons reference, but this Key has seen Sherrer every day for most of a season. He should know if Sherrer can get it done by now. If he can’t, then find someone who can.

Normally, I woudn’t think FSU and the ACC should sue, but I’m changing my mind. I bring this next fact up up not to turn this into a political discussion (__don’t__), but from a news perspective...

For some of the coaches being recommended, what makes them good? What are they good at? What are they good at today? TFG was supposed to be a DB “whisperer” who brought “mayhem”, and we saw how that worked out. Deion was supposed to bring good defense, but Colorado’s defense was worse than...
