perhaps……but the prior drive a close call PI was flagged against Houston. Next drive when it was 3rd and 6 and the game was on the line the refs swallow the whistle on not one but two obvious PI. Stroud looked resigned to the script. Ryans did too. Very strange indeed.

Stroud is going to mess around and get replaced. What started out as a brilliant and promising career looks fading. It appears he really doesnj’t lIke to play in pressure packed games Facing tough defensive pressure. I vividly recall him looking like that at OSU until he lit up that brilliant Georgia defense. So we know he has it in him to so.

STFU Aikman. You were given the best OL in football your whole career, the all time leading rusher now and oustanding receivers. What a fucking shitbag.

maybe not rigged tonight... but the officiating in these games ... has to improve ... pats got away with a LOT not getting called... like yesterdays Broncos/Bills game where in OT the officiating was completely different than during the game....do find it interesting that Gonzalez the one good DB that the PATs have has had multiple concussions and I believe left last weeks game with a possible one ... somehow is playing but Collins isn't...

Bummer about Stover.

Sorry, folks, this game appears rigged. CJ doesn’t even look like he wants to be there…..and it was like that early in Q1.
2 Patriots were guilt of PI on that 3rd and 6 for Houston yet neither was called. One was a 3 second jersey tug and the other was the intended receiver who got bumped as the ball was coming in.

My faith in pro sports has been pretty low, but the NBA and NFL are so manipulated and rigged.

Multiple tears and years of late life pain in that one for Stover. Damn

Stover just shredded his knee reaching back for that ball

:( Stover's done ...

Needed to leave that out there by a few more yards

shocking ... missed a hold and a PI... fuck the pats...

24 is too fucking many. Quit the dumb shit already.

Big Ten, SEC still deadlocked on College Football Playoff format​

With a Friday deadline looming, the Big Ten and SEC remain deadlocked about the future format of the College Football Playoff following Sunday's annual business meeting of CFP leaders.

"Still more work to do," Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti said as he exited past more than a dozen reporters waiting outside the meeting room of the Lowe's hotel in South Beach.

The Big Ten and SEC have the bulk of control over the format in 2026 and beyond because of a memorandum of understanding that was signed by the 10 FBS commissioners, including former American Conference commissioner Mike Aresco, and Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua. If Petitti and SEC commissioner Greg Sankey can't agree on a format by Friday -- an extended deadline imposed by ESPN, the sole TV rights holder -- the playoff will stay at 12 teams for at least another year.

There is overwhelming support in the room for a 16-team playoff to begin as soon as 2026, sources said, but the Big Ten won't agree to it unless the SEC agrees to a 24-team format three years later. Sankey and Mississippi State president Mark Keenum, the chair of the CFP's board of managers, have stated publicly that the SEC would prefer a 16-team model. Sources have said Sankey doesn't want to commit to a 24-team field now, and Sankey wasn't immediately available for comment following the meeting.

Just sayin': If you go to a 24 team format and eliminate the CCGs (and there is no official conference champion) why even have the conferences? Yeah, I know it would be to just negotiate the TV contracts.....
