players aren't soft, also pretty much every man (other than the backup goalie) is utilized on a hockey roster, there are no bench-warmers, since you're changing lines every 45 seconds or so.

re: Josh Pate has a pretty good way to fix the calendar and bowl season…

Rose Bowl is the best bet for a Saturday game against the NFL because unlike all of the other sites in the rotation, no NFL team plays there. The championship games are played on Monday, for sure because of TV, but you can't discount stadium availability for potential NFL home playoff games. That said, wrap it up before the NFL regular season is over and angle for the Saturday of week 18 as the NCG.

Miami probably doesn’t get in if Virginia wins the ACC.
Florida did something similar in Vegas to announce the Sumrall hire.

I couldn’t get over how small the crowd was at the Music City Bowl yesterday. The Vols have sold out the game in their other appearances, couldn’t have been 40k there yesterday. Hell, Titans tickets were going for more than this game.
Stop blaming G5, the playoffs have always sucked

Very myopic views. The games this year were closer than last years first round. And of course, the four team playoff was blowout fest, 14 of the 30 games were decided by 20 or more.
Tulane joins these schools in getting beat by 20+ in a playoff game:
Florida State
Oregon (x2)
Oklahoma (x2)
Michigan State
Ohio State (x2)
Notre Dame
Alabama
Clemson
Cincinnati
Michigan
TCU
Washington
SMU
Tennessee
James Madison actually lost by less than the average college football playoff game since its inception

First round average MOV 2025: 16.25
First round average MOV 2024: 19.25
14 of the 30 CFP games in the 4 team era were decided by 20 or more points. Stop blaming the G5 schools.

The average margin of victory in this year’s first round, featuring 2 G5 schools, was 16.25, which is 3 points closer than last years first round margin of victory which included all p4 schools (and Notre Dame). The average margin was also closer than the average college football playoff game as a whole since the inception in 2014 (which averages a 17.4 point margin of victory)

If this was "last Sunday" meaning the 7th - that was fog on the gulf coast. Was flying into Pensacola, we were ten minutes from landing (just before 4:00 PM) and diverted to Atlanta, Southwest finally cancelled the flight around 9:00 PM, didn't leave until Monday morning. Weather issue, not the fault of the airline. You can always ask, but they can't do shite about the weather.
Only a few interactions:
George Foreman, Derrick Brooks, Ben Zobrist, and Cortland Finnegan. All very pleasant, I’d even say gentlemanly. Finnegan kept calling me “sir” which was respectful, but I’m not much older than him.

re: This year is proof we only ever needed a 4 team playoff

This is the second year of the 12 team playoff. Last years championship game participants wouldn’t have even made a 4 team field last year.

That was the 3rd string QB. 2nd stringer got concussed in a dirty (penalized) hit against Florida the week before.

The ACC isn’t a serious major league. Time to stop giving notre dame a pass, they’re playing an absurd schedule. Duke is playing for their title and has a 4 score home loss to Illinois, the 7th place big ten team.
Imagine having a team playing for league title that had a two score loss to the 13th place team of a non serious league
quote:
ND fans are plenty familiar with this scenario. ND was 11-1 in 1993. Florida St. was 11-1 in 1993. ND beat Florida St. head to head. Florida St. was crowned the National Champion. So, yeah, I think they are familiar with it, so if they lost a national title on that basis, I am sure they are fine throwing head to head out the window just as the AP and Coaches did to them in 1993.
Well ackshually…Florida State was 12-1, so technically not the same record. With no true national title game in those days, you had four schools that had a punchers chance of being declared national champs that year based on their bowl games, all of which were played on NYD. Those were the days…
