    1. I agree that you should never play to lose. Maybe I wasn't clear - I'm not saying that they should TRY to lose. Just don't risk anything to win this game. 2. While I disagree with this idea, I can see why a team might try to lose, and sometimes I wonder if the Browns are doing this many...

    Ohio State does not need to win this game. Sure, it'd be great to win it, but it isn't needed. A win next week is needed. Finishing 11-1 should be good enough for 4th or 5th. I don't know who gets the tiebreaker between Ohio State and Oregon, in that case. And I really don't care today. My...

    Minnesota Golden Gophers (official thread)

    And it isn't just Cignetti - Vanderbilt is playing above their position, as well. They'll both fall back down, soon.

    Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

    Is there somewhere that explains what's going on, as if I were a 5-year-old? Someone with$2.4B wants to invest in the Big Ten? Who? What do they get out of it? Who gets the money? Does it get split amount 18 teams? $130M per team? What is the downside? What is the upside? Also, if the cheaters...

    Minnesota Golden Gophers (official thread)

    And that's Minnesota's spot. You'll find teams that temporarily rise above their spot, but it's rare and temporary. Fleck has them in their spot. I hope for his sake he doesn't get fired, eventually, for it.

    James Franklin (HC Virginia Tech)

    Yeah. I mean, I'll assume that they're smarter than I am when it comes to these things. So there must be a reason. But I'd think the strategy for Jimmy would be to make Penn State pay as much of his contract as possible.

    James Franklin (HC Virginia Tech)

    Is Virginia Tech paying him 40 million? Why? Why pay him more than 1 million? I thought Penn State needed to pay the difference between what they owed him and what he's getting paid. So he's going to get his full contract - just some from Penn State and some from Virginia Tech. Why not make Penn...

    2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

    Good point. Remember when a 1-loss Alabama team got into the 4-team playoff over undefeated Florida State? Sure, it turns out that Florida State wasn't that good, and maybe they got it right. Except, Alabama failed to beat the cheaters... Where was I going with this? Oh yeah - the precedent is...

    The first two sentences would be fine if we had a 4-game win streak. But we don't. The first string can do your third sentence this year.

    2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

    Yeah - not "actually" an auto bid, but it actually is an auto bid. And I'm not disagreeing with you that maybe they shouldn't get auto bids. But they will always get one. Fix it by making an SEC vs Big Ten playoff. Don't call it a "national championship" playoff. Just Big Ten vs. SEC. The...

    2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

    Point of order: There is no P4 or G5, anymore. No conferences get auto bids. Only the top 5 conference winners. 98% of the time, all of what we all consider the "P4" will get those auto bids, with the "G5" getting one of them. That being said, I think the G5 will always get at least one auto...

    2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

    1. To answer your question, I would lean toward a 2-loss team over a 3-loss team. Not knowing the schedules and results, I think I'm aiming for BYU or Utah. Did they already play each other? Who won? That's the team I'd pick. 2. This would start a gross precedent: the loser of a conference...

    How did Dean Sensanbaugher get a play of 103 yards? And don't say that he was 3 yards deep in the endzone, because I remember David Brown's interception was at least 6 yards deep, and he only gets credited with 100 yards. Edit: My memory was wrong - he was about 4 yards deep. Edit: In case you...

    Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

    I was checking out their message board after their win. I don't know why. Maybe to see if they're getting into a better mood. I like to watch their world crash down after they've built something up. Lately, they've just been bombing the rubble. Anyway, one guy made a reference to Kerry Collins...

    I see your problem, already.

Any conference winner can do it. As it...
