On paper they look like they can be the first team to break the bluechip ratio rule, but I can't quite trust any team but Bama to win the title playing like Bama. Maybe if they avoid injuries and don't have to play Clemson or Bama.

How will they ever be able to enjoy another game again from such awful seats? It's such an injustice that a fired athletic director's free tickets get moved to such an undesirable location.

Having a joke of an OOC schedule (WKY, UNM, BYU) and not playing Sparty or Ohio State in the regular season helps get the shot. If they win both playoff games it'd be hard to say who deserved it more. I just picture Wisconsin hitting a wall against a team like Georgia or Clemson that's clicking on all cylinders.

Nebraska is currently a 26-point favorite over Akron, which seems like a lot given that they're the MAC runner-up and we're implementing a new system with a team that won 4 games last year, but ^:)^

If Wisconsin is allowed to hold like they were in the Orange Bowl, they can win. Someone posted some screencaps of massive holds on most of their big plays last night and I got angry again.

I remember the defensive holding for the pick in the end zone being egregious.

They were MAC runner up going 7-7 and getting absolutely pummeled by every halfway decent team they played except Ohio. The MAC was especially bad last year

Im going to miss most of the Bama game on Saturday because the MLS team I'm a season ticket holder for has a match at the same time. The owner is a piece of poo poo boardroom goblin who is probably taking the team away, Browns style, next season, so we're trying to make sure we go to every match at home no matter what.

I'll be back probably at the end of the third quarter, hopefully it'll be going well by that time!

I bet the stretch probability largely depends on why the dog is running off the porch. But as someone who’s been around dogs before, you probably know better.

Good one. What if the dog is doing a planned run off the porch down a big hill into a stadium? My point is that football coaches are stupid. Except for the coach of whatever teams I like, those guys are probably all geniuses, and also just good people in general.

Akron has a pretty good linebacker with a phenomenal name in Ulysees Gilbert III. Their defense is... decent by MAC standards, but they're not going back to the MAC Championship (Buffalo is resurgent and Ohio's always solid) and honestly they may not even get 6 wins this year. Nebraska will be fine for that game.

E: I get being pessimistic if you're a Nebraska fan but trust me, this is gonna be one of those game where Nebraska gets a shaky start against a MAC team with nothing to lose (and an already-cashed paycheck), then settle in and cruise in the second half. It's how basically every MAC paycheck game goes.

E2: Jesus loving christ Nebraska's road schedule is brutal this year :stare:

I'm thinking 3 TD rushing, 2 TD passing, plus 1 Int. About 90 yards on the ground and another ~200 in the air. Offense will come in spurts.

“Go win the Heimlich Trophy!”
So, I'm getting married next saturday. Our cocktail hour runs like 4:50-6 that evening and takes place in a bar space with 6-7 TVs and cable. This wasn't intentionally planned, but it works out so that people can bullshit and watch the games before sitting down for dinner and keeps my weird CHUD uncles from having to interact with the non-family people because "YO DAWG GAME'S ON" and keeps them from saying how they've never been to a wedding so "urban" or "city" before in front of my extremely millennial social circle.

Despite this, I still have a relative asking if they can skip the ceremony at 4:30 to watch the first 20 minutes of the game. That game is Ohio State/Rutgers.

Which one of you goons is my bad relative prioritizing 20 minutes of Ohio State/Rutgers over an event your entire extended family across 2000 miles of the United States is going to and has known about for 16 months? Goddammit, I know this is one of you.

congrats on the wedding

That relative is an amateur, just skip it without telling anyone and sneak into the reception. The bride and groom are too busy to notice, just tell them everything was beautiful. I don't totally know for sure who was at the ceremony part of my wedding and it was only like a 50 person guest list.

Or just go to the wedding like a grown up but honestly who really likes the ceremony part anyway, no one is actually there for that
