    I can only comment on the one I’m familiar with… Trey Benson’s 2022 season is where he “popped” more for FSU. 2023 they really split carries and it almost seemed like they preferred Toafili at times. I can’t say why, but guess it doesn’t contradict you being unimpressed.

    Thursday Night Football: Patriots @ Steelers 5:15/8:15 Prime/Local/TSN

    I promise I'm not trying to make this thread about the Bears, BUT... Along these lines, we have SO many online folks misremembering the Lovie Smith era and saying we were SO dumb to fire him after he went 10-6, etc... There comes a point where constant mediocrity or being "pretty good" isn't...

    We'll probably trade it to whatever team is cool with giving Caleb partial ownership of their franchise... ;)

    Thursday Night Football: Patriots @ Steelers 5:15/8:15 Prime/Local/TSN

    Bears' fans say, "Thank you!". Panthers have been trying to get that second win and falling short, but no way on Earth they get 3.... #1 pick!!! (Again)...

    I know it is only one game, but did Zeke just show everyone that Rhamondre ain't all that? Not saying anyone was calling him the second coming of LaDanian Tomlinson or anything, but...

    FBS going to split in half?

    I get it, but at the same time, any pretense of a football player being a student athlete is, of course, completely gone. They are more or less professionals now. The football teams are essentially just representing their respective schools in name only. And sure, maybe I'm naive. Maybe I'm...

    FBS going to split in half?

    Already read some of the, "This is good. They are finally acknowledging what we always knew college football was!" comments and call me naive, but that acknowledgement and all that has come with it has ruined what was unique about college football. You want a 40 team mega-league with highly...

    And as is always said, these schedules are made years in advance. One would think beating Miami, LSU at a neutral site, and both Clemson and Florida on the road would be enough for ANY team in ANY year on top of winning your conference and going undefeated...

    Time for CFP/NCAA to change selection rules.

    I'm with you, but it always seems that over time, these arguments become just as vehement. All it takes is a single #12 seed to make a serious run or win, then everyone on the face of the earth thinks if they can just get in the playoff, they can win it all! Again, we have some seriously...

    Time for CFP/NCAA to change selection rules.

    Agree... More musing on how adding more teams never ends the arguing (See College Hoops).

    Yeah, the new format won't prevent the argument between who's #12 and who's #13, etc...

    Time for CFP/NCAA to change selection rules.

    I missed where you said that, so sorry about getting snippy in the other thread, because this was exactly how I felt it should have gone as well. I think the committee panicked at the though of having to choose between Alabama and Texas and took the easier way out of excluding FSU with the...

    Don't mean to interject, but... This is sorta ridiculous. Someone posted an SoS ranking. He replied with the SoR ranking. You then retorted with the SoS ranking again. He pointed out that you just reposted what the first guy posted which isn't the same. Which then a string of you saying...

    Notre Dame, the week AFTER that victory against FSU, right at the end of the season, lost to Boston College. Number of circumstances behind this. 1. Notre Dame didn’t have an opportunity to redeem themselves after a bad loss. And it was a bad loss. 2. FSU lost on the road to ND when a last...

    You understand the difference, but are being purposefully obtuse. Got it…. Alabama struggled with Arkansas. There’s your apt comparison. Oh, and did you miss that game where they lost? At home? By double digits?

    And your second point is the ENTIRE point with FSU in the last two games. Thanks for making it for me.

    Clearly you didn’t watch that game. We struggled but didn’t “need a prayer”. Sorry, a 35 yard TD pass on 4th down while trailing in the final seconds? THAT is an answered prayer, but you already know that.

    Right, and FSU vs Florida has no history of being an intense rivalry. And FSU didn’t need an answered prayer to win.

    Yes. The goal of the committee yesterday was to get an SEC team in. With Georgia in, mission accomplished (deservedly so in that scenario)… We’d have had four undefeated conference champions which would have been a tremendous way to close out the 4 team playoff era…. Yesterday, they had to...

    Pussies… that’s all I have to say. The committee did not have the sack to do what’s right. And fuck Herbstreit… “Availability of players” has NEVER been any sort of official criteria for this. He pulled that out of his ass.

    Yep, they will NOT exclude the SEC. That will come at the expense of FSU or Texas.

    SHOULD be Michigan Washington FSU And the fourth is a tough call as Texas, Bama, Georgia and Ohio State all have an argument. I hope not, but I know the committee doesn’t want to exclude the SEC, and I know they don’t want to hear it on the head to head argument. I could see them taking the...

    Yes, the SEC poaches a bunch of high level programs and then bitches that they play each other… Made your bed. Lie in it!

    Conference Championship Games Poll

    I agree that we may very well lose to Louisville. If we do, so be it. If we win, we deserve a shot. If it is as everyone says, we get our doors blown off in the semifinal. No harm no foul.

    I like it. I’d try to include the top Go5 team as well would be my only change.
