But yeah, who did they beat last year that was of note: Wisconsin. Everyone else was... well Michigan State took a tremendous poo poo, Rutgers and Maryland have been also rans in CFB and only got added for basketball and I have no clue in Rutgers' case.

When has Indiana been relevant in CFB?

As it turns out Colorado was pretty good, although Michigan was the first to hurt their starting QB and they weren't as good without him. I guess Penn State was ok too, although unlike Colorado I don't think they were flying under the radar when they played Michigan, they just kinda sucked for a while and got better later in the season.

When three Oregon football players were hospitalized in January following a strenuous workout, they were being led by a strength coach certified from a track and field coaches association.

For a $245 fee, the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) offers a 21-hour strength training course to become a certified NCAA strength coach in any sport. By comparison, the widely-used Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA) requires 30 times as much training -- a 640-hour certification process.

Honestly, they need to make the playoffs 8 teams and give each conf champ an auto bid, the top G5 team a spot, and two at large.

But of course that's a good idea and as long as Jim Delaney is running the big ten, nope.

While I agree, the problem is that by the NCG, the top two teams will have played 12 regular season games, most likely a CCG, then 3 more games in the playoffs. The only plausible solution would be cutting the regular season back a game or two, but even that gives a ton of scheduling and rivalry issues. It could be done, but there are also revenue streams to think of. Or we could just gently caress amateurism and player safety and make teenagers play the equivalent of a full NFL season.


Edit: The NFL probably wouldn't like it either. NFL ratings fell while college went up, and now you are cutting into their playoffs where they are used to being the only game in town. On top of that, front offices would get tired of having to evaluate more and more injured players due to more games.

They beat the poo poo out of Penn State and Colorado proved to be a much tougher non-conference opponent than anticipated.

Ohio State didn't deserve that slot, but I don't know who did. USC had three losses, I understand snubbing Penn State since they deserve terrible karmic retribution until the sun explodes. Michigan would have been stupid. They probably should have put Pitt in.

Best game of the year IMO. One of my best friends had a wedding that day and we got to the reception area just after halftime. There wasn't a single person in the reception area, everyone was in the bar area watching the game including bride and groom. It was me, one other Tennessee fan and ~50 Georgia fans.

After the UGA touchdown with like 15 seconds left, a buddy came over to me and said "good game, that was tough". I said that there was still time left on the clock - half jokingly, thinking we could at least get a field goal to tie it. Never could have thought what was about to happen would happen. When it did I just stood there in disbelief waiting for a flag or something to call the TD back.

The guy I went to UT with tackled me - both of us in tuxes. I couldn't quit grinning. The UGA fans were gracious losers and just kept saying they couldn't believe it happened - probably helped that I wasn't an rear end in a top hat about it though.

Jim Harbaugh: still a loon

quote:

Jim and his family drove up to John’s cottage in Lake Huron for Memorial Day weekend. Jim brought his kids, and the group decided to play a fun game of hoops in the driveway. Those involved in the game were Jim, John, Jim’s wife, John’s wife, a 2-year-old boy, a 6-year-old girl, a 4-year-old girl, and a 13-year-old girl. According to John, this is how the game went down:

We’re playing, and you can picture the kind of game it is, right? Allison [the 13-year-old] happens to hit a couple jumpers and we’re playing to seven, and we’re up maybe 5-1. Next thing you know, Jim starts going over the top of Allison for rebounds, he’s boxing her out 10 feet away from the basket. Next thing you know, it’s 5-5 and Jim has made all the shots for his team of course. I’m like, you know, maybe Addy would like to touch the ball? Maybe Katie or Jack could dribble a little bit now and then? It goes 6-6 and a long rebound comes out the side, he goes and gets it. I see Allison happens to be over there, so I see him going to the basket, he’s going to take Allison to the hole, you know, he’s about 6'3", 235, so I’m going to go cut him off. I get him with my right arm bar across his chest and I’m trying to body check him into the pricker bushes behind the driveway, and he just powers his way to the basket, lays one over the top, a reverse layup off the board, and all he could talk about is how he won. He picks up Jack and says, “Doesn’t it feel great, Jack, to win? Doesn’t it feel great to win?” An hour later we were crossing paths in the backyard to go get a soda or something, and he looks me right in the eye and he says, “Hey John, have you won anything yet?”
