NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Have to take advantage of SEC FCS week, I guess.

Missouri ranked 23rd is crazy too

Agree. Best win is whom....Auburn?

It's a captive audience, not exactly a vote for those choices.

My outrage is on point, as it's my opinion. I hate the Cowboys and their "America's team" BS. These days they're a Jets-style spectacle of a dumpster fire.

It was BS when the Braves tried to use that too.

Meh, I like the tradition of the Lions and Cowboys always being on Thanksgiving. But it's not really a day that I'm focused on football anyway.

What if I say DJ is my legal guardian...?

Missed this.....

Is this a paid position?

*Notices you're bit on the poor side when it comes to Hoop cash*

Pass, sorry.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Well, my Trojans finally played a team that's better at losing 1 score games than they are. lol

Is Riley going to be on the hot seat going into next season?

I cannot imagine the boosters are happy right now.

I don't know about hot...but it'll be warm. This was expected to be a bit of a rebuild year anyway and while being 5-5 sucks, it's not like they're getting blown out in the games they've lost. They're literally 5 plays from being 10-0. They've had a lead in the 4th quarter in all 10 games.

Booo! This is some bullshit. Around The Horn and PTI are iconic. ATH is like the only show on ESPN that actually bothers to cover all the sports and has reasoned, informative takes about it. It's not just SAS and Mad Dog screaming at each other about the Cowboys in the middle of fucking June.

OK, but they didn't and prior to Bama's thrilling win over Mercer Miami was ahead of them. How does beating Mercer change things?

I get what you are saying.

My issue is why was Miami ahead of Alabama to begin with?

We all know who the other teams in the top 12 would prefer to play.

It isn’t Alabama.

Too diverse of thought, not enough bald chicks wearing Hammer pants (yes this literally happened last week)

Exactly.

And taking issue with the Cowboys especially is a wild point of view.

People either love them or hate them. They are polarizing.

That is the exact team you want playing in front of a national audience whether they are good or not.

People going to watch to see them get throttled.

I just suggested the time switch based on who is the better team. I rather have lions/bears on at 430 over cowboys/giants. I’m not usually that focused on the early game but that 430 game is when I’m locked in

And I get this but it's a different argument. They were ahead. Right or wrong..........and beating Mercer should not change that.

There is one week that these matter, everything else is just practice

 

[trojanfan12]

Yes and no. There's only 1 week that matters, but current ranking can affect that week.

Well it seems like people are complaining that the rankings change. Things are going to evolve throughout the process.

What did Miami show on a bye week that says they should drop in the rankings?

What did Alabama show against Mercer, that shows that they should move up?

It’s nice to have a game but it’s not the most important thing

What I’m saying is it doesn’t matter. Maybe people realized after looking at Miami closer that Alabama is a much stronger team. My point is it doesn’t matter, yet anyway.

True, but we would miss it big time if it changed.
