  1. BREAKING NEWS:

     

    NOAH SPENCE REINSTATED.

     

     

    They went ahead and gave him the Heisman too. Which he held high above his head as he was triumphantly carried out of the appeals hearing on the backs of the committee.

     

    This may or may not have been an ecstasy induced fever dream.

  2. . Doomsday Scenario Achievement Unlocked.

     

    The only positive in this scenario is the backlash that would occur would likely implode the 4 team playoff, and open the door to an immediately implemented 8 team. Of course then the issue would be if the SEC only gets 6 or 7 playoff spots.

  3. I agree with all of this. I was just saying yesterday that those 4 teams in the first playoff would be a dream scenario for the stakeholders.

     

    SBnation has projected the same results with it looking like this.

     

    College Football Playoff

     

    Rose No. 2 Oregon No. 3 Florida State 1/1/2015 Pasadena, CA

    Sugar No. 1 Alabama No. 4 Ohio State 1/1/2015 New Orleans, LA

     

    ESPN's power-rankings look similar. Of course they can't stop knob-slobbing the SEC so they have MSU at 4, OSU at 5.

  4. We had the chances to cover, and put the game away with enough style points to make an impression, we just put the ball on the ground a couple times and paid the price. Did the weather affect that? Maybe, we've certainly had issues with ball handles recently, whether or not there is weather ... or not.

     

    I still think if we win out, and win the B1G we sneak into the playoff. To be honest the sound of a playoff with these names involved in no particular order:

     

    Florida State

    Alabama

    Oregon

    Ohio State

     

    Kind of gives me a strange football erection, and that for an inaugural playoff you almost couldn't hand pick a better sounding line-up. Here's hoping.

  5. I really want to see Alabama play in those conditions. I doubt they will score a point and will be decimated by the Buckeyes or the Gophers.

     

    Which is why when the playoff is inevitably moved to an 8 team format, the first round should be home games for the top 4 seeds. It would saves fans thousands in travel costs, and provide a real benefit for teams that earn it. I would love nothing more than to force some cozy, never plays in sub 50 temps team, to deal with 15 and snowing.

  6. A few things I'll be looking at Tuesday when the rankings are revealed. How much will TCU be punished for almost losing to a terrible team. Who will be ranked higher, Auburn or Nebraska? How much will Wisconsin jump? Any chance OSU jumps Big 12 teams since this week?

     

    An OSU blowout victory might have had us jump up, but with the score the way it was, I imagine we still end up behind one or both B12 teams, at least for this week. Gotta hope Wisky holds, gets big credit for dismantling Nebraska, and that we can hold Gordon to 1000 yards or less in the championship game. (Last year's defense held him to less than 80 yards, obviously not a totally fair comparison with personnel changes, and that was at home)

     

    Oh, and we have to annihilate Indiana and TTUN.

  7. You can't assault someone, you doubly can't assault someone and be surprised by the return of a similar type of force. If the female, as obnoxious and horrible as she comes off, was only making fun of his jacket, and speech impediment(classy, and pot calling the kettle black given her evisceration of our beloved English language), and was given the hand I would be calling for the guys head. That's not what happened, and her knocking the phone out of the bystanders hand clearly shows she has a lack of understanding in regards to property, and personal security.
  8. My brain tends to run wild when thinking of the offensive possibilities of having both in the backfield. Talk about forcing the defense into playing your game. You could have three major threats that have to be accounted for every play or you will pay with yards, and the potential explosive run. Defense sells out on the run, a mind boggling number of play-action options open up, and with our athletes, we win that battle most of the time. Pick your poison.
