Yeah, they are determined to die on this hill. Not sure why so many have bought the playoff committee’s talking point that this is not about earning a playoff spot but is really about entertainment. I think college basketball tournaments prove you can do both of those at the same time.

You misplayed that. The takeaway lesson will be to put in more SEC teams to get the ratings up.

Agree but there was a lot of flack on this sight a few years ago that TECH needed to join the modern era because 52-47 type games were the new norm.

Prepare for the “tainted champions” narrative. ESPN said that right after Alabama lost and squeezed in one quick reference after Michigan won last night. They were testing their audience to see if this might fly. Some subtle lobbying has already begun to get multiple SEC teams in next year.

Absolutely. They certainly would not have lost by 3 touchdowns. So, how to compare? Washington, to be fair, had an off night for several reasons. Their star running back was limping through the whole game. Their QB missed two open touchdown passes earlier in the game. By later in the game...

Agree that we sidetracked on an irrelevant issue. You could be right about the poor ratings. I just think it’s an open question. Every other college sport gets decent interest for a legitimate playoff format that gives everybody a chance. Top division football has never tried that.

ESPN started talking about a “tainted Michigan championship” as soon as Alabama was knocked out. They made a quick one sentence reference tonight as soon as the championship game was over. We can’t get away from the propaganda war. This is the war that sunk FSU and which is ALREADY lobbying...

Well, the championship game was a bust. The playoff committee really needs to do a better job putting together more interesting matchups.

Of course. But I feel like I got pulled into an argument I was not making while completely derailing what I was discussing which is that in every other college tournaments underdogs are beloved.

Stagg is also good. My wife has always said she doesn’t like rum. She insisted that we buy two bottles. The distiller knows his stuff and fun to talk to. I am happy at this point with every decision Key is making. Even if whoever he chooses for DC looks underwhelming to some, I trust that...

Disclaimer: I know nothing. What’s going on? Decision has been made. Announcement at appropriate time. It’s paper work and professional decorum. Addendum: I still know nothing.

Where did I say number 24 playing number one? If said that anywhere I certainty misspoke. What I suggested was a first round using, just as a hypothetical example, Michigan vs Troy State. I don’t think I said Troy was number one or Michigan. I was describing an underdog situation which was...

I’ll put it this way. We are closer now than we ever have been,

According to Forbes the best rum distillery in America is made in Brunswick. The name is Richland, not highland. 5 different runs and one tastes like one of the best bourbons I’ve ever had. Thanks for the tip on New Riff. We are making an announcement on DC soon.

I thought he was just clarifying what was said.

I wasn’t assuming either Michigan or Troy State got a bye. But you must have assumed one of them should have had a bye. Am I missing something?

Nobody gets byes but some teams have play-in games 🤣

You went there.

I hang for dear life on this kind of possibility thinking. 😊

It was Appalachian State’s natty. Which I think is the point.
