Maybe perhaps the wrong thread but Atlanta will continue to host quarterfinal and semi-final games in the future:

2028-2031 - Mercedes Benz stadium will host CFP games

1). Beautiful, easy to get to stadium
2). Plenty of reasonable accomodations
3). Track record of hosting big events well
4). Airport is incredible

It looks like most of the article is behind a paywall. But it seems like they're pumping that up like no one else gets this privilege. All the article actually says it that the Peach Bowl is going to remain one of the 6 bowl games for the playoffs, just like the other 5 are staying there.

Ha - I just Googled the GPS coordinates of all of the 6 bowl games. And I get that AI is unreliable, so feel free to fact check my numbers. But guess which bowl game is farthest north?

Spoiler Alert:
Orange Bowl is at 25.777 Lat
Sugar Bowl is at 29.951 Lat
Cotton Bowl is at 32.779 Lat
Fiesta Bowl is at 33.527 Lat
Peach Bowl is at 33.755 Lat
Rose Bowl is at 34.161 Lat

For reference, Columbus, Ohio is at 39.962.
Ha. Look at a map. Draw a line from Pasadena through Atlanta. All 6 bowl games are on or below that line.
Also funny to me: In 12 years, 6 champions come from north of that line, and 6 come from south of that line. (I'm pretty sure that Clemson is just north of that line, so that's how I counted them.)
It's actually 8 from north of that line, and 4 from south. I was mistaken about Georgia. I think I read that Athens is at 33d 57', and mistook that for 33.57 degrees.

Anaheim matched. That was an impossible position to be placed in for them. In a few years, that contract might not look that awful as the cap keeps rising, but for now they have to make Carlsson the highest paid player in the game and he's never scored more than 70 pts in a season. They better hope he becomes a consistent 90-100 point guy, and I'm not sure he does.

Totally gums up their spending capability and they're gonna have to pay Gauthier, too, soon. Plus they have to cobble together a blue line. I'm not sure I wouldn't have taken the 4 firsts.

Moral of the story - lock up your young core early and don't be a jackass negotiating.

Is that bad?

ESPN already at it with their garbage FPI that they will of course use to prop up their SEC narrative

Every SEC team in the top 50, every SEC team in the TOP 20! of the SOS rankings.

Complete garbage to form the base for SOS rankings off of your own "predictive model" that is based pretty much completely off of prior year recruiting rankings and with zero actual on the field data from the current season.

The "Fighting Cyclosporas" might be more appropriate.

You can pay like 10 bucks to see it on Apple TV. I think Amazon has it too but I think it might be 20 there.

I used to take MARTA down to the old Georgia Dome in the 90's to avoid the nightmare of parking.

Different experience.

Even though he's an Ohio guy, even though he's couple of years out, the coaches still need to continue to recruit him. Along side their other duties, like getting new talent on board, still imagine that they have time blocked out to maintain contact. Not certain if it's every day/week like was before commitment, but certainly enough (however long that is) to keep them from feeling ignored. Probably an aspect of recruiting that goes unnoticed by us fans.

That's something Day & Co do a really good job at imo. They stay vigilant with committed recruits and don't count their chickens until the ink dries. I would imagine we stay in frequent contact here.

Would expect that as an under-sized center (6'2"), maybe not so much in HS, she has learned how to box out for rebounds. connected those dots from her 5* ranking. Don't see enough of this in games to satisfy, so if she does this, will become my player favorite automatically. We watch the Fever, and see Sophie look for someone to box out before she looks for the ball. Do anticipate one thing...working against Elsa in practice will help make Elsa a better rebounder.
