I’ve posted about it in here before, but my contribution here is that my friend had a class with John Parker Wilson my freshman year, and he would walk into the room and say "John Parker Wilson. Quarterback" when he got to class. If you ever listen to the homer broadcast for Bama games he does color, and it should not surprise you to know that he sounds exactly like Kenny Powers

Online courses are fine for people with a specific need for them, but the idea that they are as effective at instruction and learning as in-class experiences is not borne out by anyone who actually teaches. It's part of the same thinking that led administrators and MBAs to slobber over MOOCs as the future of education.

Football content: Jordan Elliott declared for the draft. Mizzou's defense isn't gonna be very good next year, I don't think.

Counterpoint: if/when Michigan hires a new coach I hope they have zero connection to Bo Schembechler. I don't want them to have even pissed in the same urinal. This Michigan Man obsession wore out its welcome a decade ago.

They'll be bringing back a bunch. They just lose Acy, Elliot, Ronnell Perkins and Oliver. I think they'll still be pretty good.

poo poo, I wish my MBA had been all online, my group was carried by 2-3 of us with the other two coming along for the 4.0 ride. Coincidentally, one of the two freeloaders was a former Stanford football player.

EDIT: Before anyone asks, he was nobody famous, just a scholarship O-Lineman who was a career backup. He was bright enough, had another master's degree, but had recently had a kid and was busy with that. The program was all consuming, 20+ hours a week for 11 months straight.....my kids didn't know who I was at the end of it.

The thing that makes athletics different is that schools have direct control over that. They could just decide that football players don’t need +40 hours of football a week and instead use some of the time gained on education.

It’s quite obvious that this discussion isn’t just about online classes, people are using college courses as a means of broaching the wider topic in how student athletes are treated.

I think I've figured out a way to at least give odds, so I'm trying some predictions for this week -

pre:
ACC	Clemson 	vs	Virginia 	Clemson	89%
Big 10	Ohio State	vs	Wisconsin	Ohio State 95%
Big 12	Baylor		vs 	Oklahoma	Oklahoma 75%
SEC	Georgia		vs	LSU		LSU 73%
Pac 12	Oregon		vs	Utah		Utah 74%

AAC	Cincinnati	@	Memphis		Memphis 84%
CUSA	Florida Atl	H	UAB		UAB 51%
MAC	Central Mich	vs	Miami-Ohio	CMU 91%
MWC	Boise State	H	Hawaii		Boise 80%
SunBelt	App State	H	Louisiana	App 65%

	Army		vs	Navy		Navy 75%

I ran these through an RNG for wins and losses.  I got upsets for Baylor and Army, which doesn't mean much 
for the playoff - the Georgia loss means Utah leaps them and gets #4.  

So, a projected final moon poll - 
Team			Record	
1. Ohio State		13-0
2. Clemson		13-0
3. LSU			13-0
4. Utah			12-1
5. Georgia		11-2
6. Notre Dame		10-2
7. Penn State		10-2
8. Alabama		10-2
9. Baylor		12-1
10. Florida		10-2
11. Wisconsin		10-3
12. Oklahoma		11-2
13. Auburn		9-3
14. Oregon		10-3
15. Memphis		12-1
16. Michigan		9-3
17. Iowa		9-3
18. Appalachian State	12-1
19. Boise State		12-1
20. Minnesota		10-2
21. Florida Atlantic	10-3
22. Navy		10-2
23. Cincinnati		10-3
24. Air Force		10-2
25. SMU			10-2

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I had a lot of athlete overlap with my classes, but the most successful player's last name I can never remember (first name Tre/Trevor) because I'm really bad with names but he was my acting partner in the drama genEd I took. He actually somehow made time for us to meet up and rehearse lines once which is one more time than some of the other students in that class on various projects.

Anyway I think they're very worried about the Fiesta Bowl because I've now gotten a third email offering discounted Arizona resident prices. The Fiesta Bowl is notorious for being a ticket you can get for free pretty easily for free so it doesn't exactly have the best attendance history anyway but they moved into a bigger stadium that can't afford to give tickets away as readily.

I was impressed that Auburn really did snap the ball almost instantly after the whistle blew to start the clock again at the end of the first half. I didn't expect them to. But really there should be a rule change imo. There's a reason we have clock runoff rules and the 3-second spike rule. This instance was pretty a pretty egregious example of one team benefiting when they didn't deserve to.

I have a hard time believing he sustained those injuries during the Clemson game. If he was hurt going in, and Muschamp knew about it... hooooooo boy.

This report was wrong, it was a sprain not a tear and he's having surgery on the meniscus now that the season is over. Also, this is a weird take by a Clemson fan, considering Deshaun Watson played on an actual torn ACL.

I'm almost done with a Bachelors degree that I've done about 90% online. The only hurdle is that I have to find someplace to do a capstone project and the school absolutely refuses to give any guidance at all. Turns out it's tough to network if your classes are online!

Anyway, they're fine for athletes and anybody else who has other obligations. The vast majority of my classmates were working moms.

(The current issue is that I have a full-time job in the field but the school refuses to let me do the project there)

lol Bama. And Minnesota too.

Back in 2016, before the GC, Colorado was #8 and USC #11. After the Buffs lost the GC, they fell to #10 and USC jumped them to #9 and got the Rose Bowl bid. If Wisconsin gets rolled 59-0 again, they're gonna fall behind PSU and lose the Rose Bowl. If they keep OSU close, now that's interesting


PSU would prob be ahead of Florida if they beat up Rutgers some more, which is annoying as they would be in good position for the Orange Bowl. balls
