Do you even get excited about football each week? Most of your teams play 2 or 3 games a season vs a ranked team
It’s gotta suck playing ball state, Kent state, Ashland, oberlin, buffalo, and the little sisters of the poor 8 weeks a year

Or you get to play cupcakes like Texas A&M, Arkansas, Mississippi State and the like. How much does it suck to be out of CFP contention by week four?

One of them will host a playoff series, too.

MLB needs to change their playoff format.

Yes. I have always hated Division winners getting a guaranteed spot in the playoffs, much less, get to host. If anything, you can have the division winners and three wildcards, but seed them 1-6 based on records. Yankees would be the two seed and get a bye; instead, they get a four seed because they were unlucky enough to be in the same division as the team with the best record. Garbage.

ETA - Even if divisions were eliminated, the AL is so bad, that the sixth best team would still Houston/Texas.

Pitchers are beyond filthy now, and the hitters are emphasizing power and elevation in their swings. Pair those two factors and averages go down across the board.

Which is what makes Aaron Judge that much more impressive. Can hit for average AND power. When healthy, he's always in the top five for average and top three in homeruns EVERY SINGLE YEAR. If Judge could stay healthy, he would easily becomes the Greatest Hitter of All-time when you consider the context.

SEC fans whining about Indiana and the Big Ten. I guess now that Florida is back, the SEC might break the run of three consecutive Natties for the Big Ten!

Well crap, let them bring in a 3 piece combo meal too. Or McMuffin. I mean, work lets you eat too so your reasoning means they can bring in food as well.

Doesn't it seem clear to you that this person has never hired anyone? I had a candidate interview for a six-figure job and he pulled out his phone. I instantly ended the interview. Bring your resume/notepad and nothing else (for female, purses are ok); I view things like coffee, phones, and the like as "security blanket". It screams immaturity and naturally, I do not hire people who have the maturity of a teenager.

I despise virtual interviews, although I have will do them when necessary. If they are local, I will have them come in for the first round of interviews. Much easier to decide whether to legitimately move forward on a candidate.

DONG binge to begin in Tampa. Yankees are rolling and Judge is going to make the Yankees an unstoppable force. All the haters are hoping.

Hmm, Florida had a great QB in 2015 and 2020. Florida has a great QB in 2026. Not good for Ole Miss. Florida and Ole Miss played once between 2009-2019. Thank God that's not going to happen anymore.

Posted by littleavery1948 on 9/21/26 at 1:58 pm to hawgndodge

Alabama/State and/or Florida at Mizzou need to be at night. Arkansas should be banished to 11 am kickoffs for perpetuity. Garbage. I think Florida/Mizzou gets moved after the Gators beat Ole Miss.

I think we have a chance if Ole Miss has a let down game, the offense shows out and the Swamp is rocking. But it's hard to predict we will win a shoot out, which is what I think it would take. A lot seems like it would have to go right for us.

It's in the Swamp; I think Florida's D shows up at home. Ole Miss will score, but they will not score 40+, which is what's going to be needed to win on the road. If this game were in Oxford, I would give Ole Miss the edge.....but it's not.

I think this is oddly the biggest game for Ole Miss.

They win this game they just need to go 4-2 vs @OU State Mizzou Auburn and Georgia @Texas.

They have certainly been tested more than Florida. LSU and Louisville are significantly better than Auburn.

Florida has sort of the same schedule, but in a different order, except they play Kentucky/South Carolina (Ole Miss plays State/LSU), and they play OU at home, and are @ Mizzou and play Georgia in Atlanta. Florida, like Ole Miss needs to win one of three (Ole Miss/FLA, Georgia, Texas) to make CFP (and not choke in any other games).

This should be the 11 am timeslot, and Texas/Tennessee should be moved to 2:30 or 6. I have no issue with games being at 2:30 or 6, but #1 at #14 being an 11 am game is just wrong (all times Central). Unless you're in the Big Ten.

re: How much do you buy, or not buy Florida as a 3.5 pt favorite at home vs Ole Miss

Home field advantage in the SEC is something else. Although I don't know how much the Swamp has been reinvigorated with the new coach.

I think LSU wins last night if it were at Tiger Stadium. Cope... yada, yada, yada, yea I know... Ole Miss got really lucky with the local court ruling and then home field 2 consecutive seasons. Could the SEC really not have avoided this? I think so.

I do not gamble, but I buy it. I do not believe Ole Miss is good enough defensively to win in the Swamp, and I think Florida's D plays better than Saturday night. Ole Miss is going to score, but they're not scoring 40+, which is what they will need to score to win. Obviously, I would not buy the -3.5 in Oxford, but that's neither here nor there.
