Yep, was about to come post this. They keep raising the bar on delusional entitlement. They really expected the ACC to push for them - a non-football conference member - over Miami which is a full conference member? Cmon ACC, man the fug up and just throw them out. Tell them to go get fuged.

Yeah, upsets are a lot easier to come by in basketball. If a team is shooting hot anything can happen. You can't just physically dominate and bully a team as easily with sheer physical dominance like you can in football.

It happens when the best QB in the game's team sucks, another MVP caliber guy in Burrow misses most of the year, last year's ROY misses most of the year, etc. Everything in the game goes in waves. Right now defenses are largely focusing on a bend but don't break approach trying to limit big plays and bowing up in the redzone so offenses are adapting and focusing on trying to get the ball out fast and play small ball because those plays are largely going to be there as long as they can have a credible downfield threat.

I know people hated the BCS system but a lot of that was due to the limitation of only two teams. There are always going to be more than two teams that are capable of winning it all. But there has to be some sort of concrete system in place to rule out fugery. Just like the NFL playoffs. The winner of a bad division might have a worse record than a team missing a wildcard slot but it is what it is. Them's the rules. Nobody changed them and everyone knew what it was going in. It is what it is. There needs to be the same type of system for the college playoffs. But the reality is that ESPN has paid a ton of money and they want the drama. It drives viewership.

I don't know how anyone isn't in the "fug ND" camp. So, now not only do these douchebags have their own personal board member on the 11 CFP board whike everyone else is represented by a conference representative, but now they have a special clause to protect only them? I mean, what in the fug??? It's beyond past time to tell ND to just go fug themselves. Your rep is off the CFP board and you can either join a conference or you can fug off. Your special status is over. We're not doing this poo anymore. If you want to be considered for the playoffs moving forward you can join a conference like everyone else.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. made hundreds of millions off realizing this. He was an exciting boxer in his early days but watching his dad and uncle struggle with the effects of taking thousands of punches to the head he realized he was skilled enough to good guys without putting himself at risk and he'd just wait for other elite guys to lose a step before facing them. The whole WWE-esque "Money" persona was built around the realization that it doesn't matter if they're watching to see you win or watching hoping you'll lose, all that matters is that they're watching. Force them to love you or hate you, just make sure they care enough to tune in. We had a similar situation with Cam. Everyone felt some kinda way about Cam. You couldn't find many NFL fans who were neutral on Cam Newton. It was love or hate but either way it was must see TV.

Bryce ain't it but going after Shedeur as the answer? LOL! Good lord... If he continues to play well he's not gonna be available and if he doesn't then why would we want him anyway?

I can't stand ND and this is basically me watching all this unfold

I'm rooting for the guy but honestly wouldn't be counting on him to be a contributor if I'm Dan Morgan. If he ends up bouncing back and contributing, great! If not, well we've already planned for this.

If I'm Mahomes I'm swinging on receivers after this game. Good lord at the drops concluding with Kelce literally handing a pass to a DB.

The NFLPA pushed for less contact in practices to cut down on injuries but I'm not sure it's working out that way. There's a fine line you gotta walk between practicing too hard and getting your body ready to play. Football players have to have contact, fighters have to spar. You can overdo it but if you underdo it that's not gonna work either.

The officials are having a rough night so far tonight. Yeesh.

Caleb Williams had a really nice drive and then...

Remember how we played after "victory Monday"? Now you wanna flirt with a "victory week"?

If you're not in the running for a bye you're better off not having to play in a championship game. fuged up but true. And I know they say that championship game losses aren't held against you but that's bullshit unless it fits what they already wanted to do (Bama in). If Miami had played last night and lost they'd be out along with BYU and ND would've been in. The whole "championship game losses don't hurt you" narrative would've died an awful death. LOL
