So why play the season? Like Booger McFarland said, just have a parade of teams and pick the best 4 if playing the games doesn't count and it's all an eye test. I have a strong dislike for FSU, but look, they beat everyone on their schedule and the conference championship. Georgia lost 1 game on the last few seasons and likely better than 2 of the 4 teams in. Again, doesn't look like playing the games matters.

Let's just say, this is where the puck meets the ice and we'll find out just what kind of team this is.

And the converse of that is the other 1-loss teams lost games they should have won.

How is Georgia not the 4th? They've lost 1 game in the last 2 1/2 years or something...

No, he's not. Just looked it up.

Jake Plummer's kid, isn't he?

Pretty bad. Reviews being what they are today, that would not have stood.

Michigan, Washington, Georgia, FSU. But the committee will find a way to get Alabama from 8 to 4. Gotta put FSU in just because they're undefeated. Georgia, despite losing today, still won 29 straight games.

Must be an FSU Homer, eh, genius?

Can you briefly refresh my memory? I'll look it up on YouTube.

I don't pay much attention to college football until bowl season, but if what I'm watching is the best of the ACC, they don't deserve a playoff spot if there were 8 teams going to the playoff.

From an X's and O's perspective they were great together. From an enthusiastic hockey fan, maybe not. But it was a nice change of pace.

Someone needs to work with him to improve his pugilistic skills. Noesen, are you listening?

He was pressing the last 10 minutes of the game.

How Aho took a double minor is beyond me. That was just a horrible call. Goals: Aho, Drury, Aho, Noesen, TT

Might we see a hattie tonight?

Let's see what the PP can do.

Officiating in the B12 and SEC games was some of the worst I've seen in a long time. I don't care for Mike Gundy but he got fugged right out the gate. Refs should have just told everyone they were making calls for Texas. As for the SEC- the NCAA doesn't want a CFP without Alabama. That simple. And, why hasn't Mack Brown been fired yet?

I'm going Seth Jarvis

Canes allow an average of almost 25 shots per game. Given the Canes recent save percentage, I estimate the Canes will allow somewhere between 7-9 goals tonight. Seriously, the back end, including goalies, need to get their collective heads out of their asses and start playing hockey.

NJ loses the game and Dougie Hamilton again to another injury. Hamilton done with a torn pectoral.

Tony D might be too toxic at his salary. Pesce was being shopped before the season. No reason to think he's off the market now, especially as he and Skjei are both UFAs after the season. Chatty is ready for a promotion and could easily slip into the second pair with Skjei. Then you have Orlov and TDA as the 3rd pair (although that could be disastrous).

Who are the trade candidates? I'm going Pesce, Drury and Raanta. Not all 3 in a deal obviously, but I can see the list of possibles if someone asked.

Interesting given the fact the Hurricanes said Thursday Freddie was working his way back and close to returning to practice. This was stated by Steve Levy on ESPN+ during last night's game just prior to puck drop.

Varlamov is 3 years older than Raanta, I believe. But you're right- 2 debacle games with a combined total of 13 goals allowed on 29 shots. That should only happen to a really bad team once a year maybe.
