Doesn’t the big 12 get an automatic team? If so then why are all of their teams so low?

I think that is strictly a power ranking but it does give a projected chance of making the playoff. When you think about it though, even with a guaranteed spot and you basically have 4 teams, or more, that it could come from those percentages are probably close. Did you scroll over and look at the percent chance of making the playoff?

Yeah but I really think that is about right. I would have Utah higher though. Kansas surprised me until I looked at their schedule.

That’s some good shit coming from Pete. So many media guys around ND blow smoke up people’s ass. Pete is pretty fair and honest.

This group was subpar last year.

I do too. The thing I don’t understand though is the limitations for onside kicks. I mean if you have to announce you are doing it there is no reason not to let the kicking team get a running start like back in the day. Not happening though.

You can't spell Trout without out.

Looks like Mike Trout is out for the rest of the season again.

That poor guy can't catch a break health wise.

Still has 6 fully guaranteed years left on his contract too.

It sucks because he was a great player at the plate and in the field.

That’s the insanity of baseball contracts.

Trout's future will inevitably be as the Angels DH.

That is why they will lose and not get it back.
