Another missed FG!

Kentucky

Their season just matched the worst one in Tennessee history… Butch’s 4-8 disaster in 2017. Amazing. And still I think Kentucky will be called a “dark horse” to make the playoff next fall among the talking heads.

Just read the Athletic projections for CFP playoff and they’re saying SMU gets in, even if they lose next weekend to Clemson. I just don’t see that. Someone enlighten me, because that makes 0 sense when you compare their resume to other teams.

This is why I pay zero attention to any of these opinions or projections and don’t get upset when I see them from someone’s post. They’re all different, they’re no better than our guesses, and they’re as meaningless as our’s.

It’s not crazy…

Wonder how this guy felt watching Tony V do pushups in the end zone lol.

Lane is correct. This playoff embodies cfb. Theres no rules or parameters on recruiting, uniform officiating, unbalanced in-conference scheduling, and a corrupt playoff process.

Are we going to have Jermod for another season?

Yep. They will find a way to put Bama in…

If it makes you feel any better, Lane, I don’t think any of you should make it.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Rumors out there that Vince Marrow - Kensuckys “Ace recruiter” is headed to Louisville.

And that Purdue might go after mark stoops.

Oh, so he can go be a racist prick over there now?

Lane’s “margin of victory” stuff is silly, honestly. Lane trying to say Ole Miss should get into the playoff because they rubbed some FCS cupcake’s nose in it worse than Bama did is just silliness.

I was reading quickly, must have missed it — what did he say about Kentucky?

The bigger issue is the media pushing the agenda of uscE being in front of them and bama. It would be criminal if uscE is above either one come Tuesday. If so, what the point in any of this, its just wwe/wcw.

Every yr like clockwork the media will try to sell you on the UK darkhorse thing. Guy cant beat anybody in the conf that has a conf winning record but somehow the media cant get enough

Disagree, 60s with no wind is the weather football was made to be played in.

But I am enjoying it too.

 

[OrangenSC]

The committee sure has made it evident that they do not give a RATS ASS about head to head

It is ALL about eye test and recency bias. It's almost like they go out of their way to not anyone credit for actually beating someone.

I think that has to change. A seasons full body of work has to count for something. That includes the crap losses.

I wish they’d do 2 things to lend credibility to the process…

1. State clearly what their goal is - 12 BEST teams, 12 most deserving based on their season, etc, and step-by-step what their process for deciding that. (How they weigh each factor they consider.) This way they can’t move the goal post every week to fit agenda without fans at least being able to call them on it.

2. Live stream their discussion. Idk how much time they spend discussing, but I assume they get to a point where it’s decision time and the discussion gets real and they vote or whatever they do. This would ensure things are above board. It would make somebody a lot of money because I think a ton of people would tune in. It’d be very interesting

I think there's a possibility that Stoops and Day both bail, though I'd make them fire me if I were them. They might not want the reputational hit, though.

Geesh, build you a domed stadium.

If I were commissioner, all new stadiums would be domed haha. I hate weather determining who wins.

I'm old enough to remember the snow plow game between the Patriots and Dolphins in the 1980's.

49ers can't hang on to the ball to save their lives. Just can't fight your body not being used to the cold.
