The rankings I can get behind being 1-12 vs auto byes. But I also do not hate it. You didnt win the gd conference you are in, why should you get a bye? I dont care if they are much better, thats another hypothetical -- whereas I know FOR SURE, you arent the best team in your own conference and they are...

I just thought the whole point of expanding was to eliminate the teams who lose and give those who don't a chance to make it. Because hypotheticals suck. Like, yes, Alabama would be favored over Indiana, SMU, etc. But those teams have earned the way into the top-12, Alabama has not. If we are going to ONLY try for the best (not the most deserving), then I would rather drop back to 4 teams...

Rece asked him a 2nd time because he was surprised of his answer.

Yeah, I am not sure I disagree with it. 

If you have out of 12 teams:

• Notre Dame
• Ohio State
• Tennessee
• Indiana
• Alabama

...not playing, then I don't think -- despite maybe some SOS/SOR stuff and common opponents stuff altering slightly -- that the order of those 5 teams should shift at all. The teams PLAYING? Yes, they can shift up and less likely down depending on outcome and performance. But the order of those 5 teams who are not playing and cannot add a direct data point to the resume should remain. 

I thought he was saying, no matter what, teams not playing this week will not jump or fall behind/in front of other teams not playing this week. 

There can and will be movement, but Texas/Georgia outcome won’t have Indiana move ahead of Tennessee. But it could have the loser/winner move up or down a good bit.

Impressionable years leave a lasting impression. Hard to believe Marky Mark beating Peyton was THAT long ago. But nice 30 hits, the decades just blend into one long year — while the 10-30 years seem to be 60 years in my head.

Been going through Bosch. Through three of seven seasons and then might also watch its Legacy spinoff. Also started Peacock's Teacup, which seems like it might in the From class of horror where nothing makes sense, but bad shit is happening to people, so it's cool.

Spinoff is just as good. If you like the characters and the pace of the show, you will like all 7 seasons plus spinoff. 

Ceedee came back like 2 plays later. He didn’t exit the game. But also ended with 39 still.

I think Lioness is my favorite show going right now. 

The 2 big ones to me are if A&M beats Texas and then loses in the SECCG, will that have knocked out both of them? IMO, yes. If Clemson wins v S. Carolina, does they sneak in? IMO, also yes — but I don’t know who they knock out. 

I was close. ND/PSU & Indiana/SMU/Boise mixed up.

Steak.  My wife will occasionally have it. But almost always chooses chicken.

Yeah mine are just seedings I think they’ll have….rankings aren’t having SMU and Boise top 5

Yeah, I knew that for you. But ND I dont know if they would even bother ranking higher since its impossible for them even be seeded higher lol. 

I think I am going to revise mine slightly after actually looking at results a little closer for the first time basically all year. 

1. Oregon

2. Ohio State

3. Texas

4. Notre Dame (I know they can only be 5th, but can they be ranked higher??)

5. Penn State

6. Miami

7. Georgia

8. Tennessee 

9. Indiana

10. Boise State

11. SMU

12. Arizona State

Clemson I think could also sneak in there this week. But I am not sure who I would have them knock out.

3 plays decided that game. I thought Indiana was up for it defensively but not offensively. The “flase start” was a huge momentum swing. Indiana punt unit was ass. 

Overall, OSU is better, but I think Indiana shows on D that they could hang.

Knecht is #4. The Lakers announcers called him Knecht-4. It’s now one of my favorite nicknames and I cannot believe I didn’t realize it or hear it prior to this. 

I like Stefanski. I dont want him fired. But 2-3-4 wins and he will not be retained. 

I need them to lose (but not to the Celtics). I am way to invested in November NBA Basketball at the moment. 

11-1 Indiana not making it?

I couldn’t watch cause of the buffering. Went to bed. And Netflix has a Christmas NFL game in a month…

They are using sparring gloves. So Tyson’s best shot at a win (knockout early) is basically toast. Pretty fucking lame.
