I'd stack up the playoff picture this way: Tier 1 (Definitely In) 13-0 or 12-1 Georgia or Tennessee (SEC Champ) 12-1 Alabama (SEC Champ) 13-0 or 12-1 Ohio State or Michigan (Big Ten Champ) 13-0 Clemson (ACC Champ) Tier 2 (In with a little help) 13-0 TCU (Big 12 Champ) 12-1 Oregon or USC (Pac-12 Champ) 12-1 Tennessee or Georgia (SECCG Loser) 11-1 Tennessee or Georgia (SEC East Runner Up) 12-1 Illinois (Big Ten Champ) (lol) Tier 3 (In with a lot of help) 11-1 Ohio State or Michigan (Big Ten East Runner Up) Tier 4 (Chaos required) 12-1 TCU (Big 12 Champ) 11-2 SEC Champ (Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss, etc) General Dog fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Nov 3, 2022 |

Whenever I feel despair about this strange, paradoxical world where teams are 2nd in the SEC but Best In All The Land, I remember it is mostly Urban Meyer's fault for windsocking Ohio State's rear end in a top hat in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. The prevailing narrative has been forever broken.

Yeah undefeated TCU probably gets the nod over whoever the SEC runners up are, but I could see it being a close scrape. If I'm TCU, I probably feel a lot better about it if a couple other Big 12 teams get hot and finish at least in the top 20, rather than their best wins all ending up as 8-4 teams on the fringe of the top 25. I still think it's asking a lot of TCU to run the table, but we'll see. If it comes down to a 12-1 Oregon (with a conference title) versus a 12-1 or 11-1 Georgia, Oregon may end up wishing they'd kept that Week 1 game within 4 touchdowns.

Ohio State, having used up all of their luck last week, trips over Northwestern this week. Nebraska shocks literally everyone by upsetting Michigan, who Illinois bests in their anguish. Michigan bounces back by defeating Ohio State.

drat my step father who raised me since I was 5 died today from a long term illness. He is one of the main reason I am a Tennessee fan and he took me to many games on his dime (even that 98 Arkansas game). When I was drunk in that WVA bar during this year’s Bama game he was the first person I called when Tennessee won. I just called him Tuesday night and we mainly talked about football. I’m thankfully that he went out with Tennessee having a winning streak against both UF and Bama, and his Vols holding the #1 spot in the CFP. I know that is exactly how he would have wanted it. I will never watch a game the same way again. It just doesn’t mean as much without him here. No matter what happens this weekend I can’t share it with him.

Manoueverable posted:I don't think it's necessarily a hot take to say the SEC over the last 10-15 years and Alabama in particular are at least a factor in the discussion from last week about why the number of people in college football threads has declined substantially. Personally, outside of my own team making it one year (and not acquitting themselves very well), the playoff has worn pretty thin on me because it's been the same 5-6 teams competing for spots every year with an outlier getting in and being squashed every 2-3 years.

Thanks for the positive support. I just didn’t know where to say that since college football was such an important part of our relationship. Non-sports people don’t understand how sports can bring people closer together. It is bond that is never broken even after the person is gone and he would want me to say there is no sport better than college football. Not even close.

Hell yeah, I still remember calling my dad to A) let him know what the game line-ups for Saturday were and what channels His Teams were on and B) telling him when Game Day was doing their picks. Dude absolutely refused to look that poo poo up on his own or just turn on ESPN at like 11:45, and I went along with it because that's football, friends. Also maybe it was penance for laughing at him when Joe Paterno pooped himself on national television.

You should probably read Bill Connelly's essay on that very topic. It's something I come back to most preseasons. So many of my most beloved Badger memories aren't just the big wins, but being with my friends and family. My grandma passed away when I was 5, and for the last decade I've worn her old hat to games partly because it's a great hat, but also because that's because that's a big reminder why I go to the games in the first place.

Mizzou signed their defensive coordinator through 2025. https://twitter.com/PowerMizzoucom/status/1588300014123511808 This was really important because Blake Baker seems like the real deal and I have to imagine if he keeps it up through the contract, he'll get head coaching consideration at some point.

I haven't spent a lot of Saturdays with my die-hard UGA dad in my adult life other than taking him down to a WLOCP (big UF win  ) in 2008, I think. But thinking about all the sports memories he and I have together--jumping all over our living room when Bream beat the throw in 91, playing catch, watching all manner of football games as a kiddo....I loving cried sending him a recording of the last out of the World Series last year, because he missed it working.He's still with me and in good health, thank gently caress, but he's getting older and I know it's going to be hard when he's gone. Just talking poo poo to each other about college football, or talking 'bout the Braves, or reminiscing about Mark Lemke or whoever. Sports loving rule.
