Alabama because they have a multitude of very good shooters, inside and out, with a solid defense.

Nostalgia alone still carries it a long way for most people. But the days of Chris, Lee, and Kirk giving us educated insight into the world of CFB are long gone.
From a content standpoint it’s nearly unwatchable now
It is tougher to watch, but the students love their presence on campus - hopefully each gets a chance to experience during their 4 or 5 year stay at LSU
Xfer iPhone music into MacBook Pro

Possible without having to subscribe to some 3rd party app, or Apple Music? I’ve searched and have not found a good option - anyone know how? iTunes is not available for newer MacBooks.
If so, please share.

I think those least removed from high school ball were best equipped to break the 73mph change up mystique.

Heisman Vote Disclosure Proposal

If the winner is not listed on your ballot (i.e. in your top 3), you lose your vote the next year.
(Possible) Grace given to past winners: if the winner is not on your ballot, your vote becomes public the next year(s) - until you get it right…

re: This is why a 12-team playoff favors LSU more than others

8) The best players on teams 7-12 will be much less likely to opt out of the postseason.
quote:
There are tons of reasons to like the 12 team playoff.
1) More big time matchups to end the season.
2) In an era of neutral site games, we get more premier, on-campus matchups.
3) Your team has a better shot to get hot late and make a run rather than being out of it by October.
4) Regular season still matters because you’re playing for byes and home field advantage.
5) Less opportunity for the REC to hose us out of playoff contention.
6) Teams who improve throughout the year still have a fighting chance to make the playoffs.
7) More meaningful games in November.
——————————————————
9) Perhaps more willingness to schedule bigger Sept matchups since that potential win can sway toward top 4 (i.e. bye), but a loss less likely to knock you out of playoff. This past Sept was rather weak on big non-con games
