Damn I thought it was some number in my profile, I already had an over and under set at 250...lmao
It's your reaction score - neg reps get subtracted from the number of likes and whatnot that you've accumulated. There are occasionally people with a negative reaction score. It's usually newcomers who are about to get banned.

LSU is not winning. People pay attention to the injury reports. They have a ton of talent out. OU is going to walk the dog on the.

But this is why you have to win.

I am not trying to go to pick on you but the SEC, the big ten, the acc are scheduling these awful teams. East Illinois, UL Monroe for bama.

Tennessee playing ETSU. This should be frowned upon.

We played Tennessee State 2 years ago for the HBCU. And imo that shouldn’t happen.

Kentucky is in the Sec and you can’t blame bama for playing a crappy in conference team.
The SEC has played most of the marquee OOC games this season. Outside of about five or six games the rest of the country has played nobody. The B1G being down, as well as the ACC hasn’t led to many great games in conference or out. OSU, Michigan, and Indiana have horrible SOS’s and the first two got bumps for playing two SEC teams.

My main beef with the FCS games is the timing. I went to an FCS school and I really enjoyed getting to play a big school once every year or two, but that should be a week 1 or 2 thing.

To be real honest, they shouldn't count towards your record at all. It should be a thirteenth game. Kinda harsh because most schools would choose not to play but the whole "these small programs rely on this money" is a lie anyway.

I don’t care for them at any point in the season honestly. Much like neutral site games. Big programs don’t need the money so play home and home. Unfortunately, it seems OOC games against P4 doesn’t seem to matter much to the playoff committee so maybe dumbing down your schedule like Indiana did is the right move.

Maybe there should be a clear understanding that any team that schedules a FCS team gets a black mark for that from the committee. I have heard all the excuses for it and that is exactly what they are: excuses for padding stats and season records.

If (when) Kiffen leaves where does that put Ole Miss in playoff seedings?
I'd leave them out, there should be repercussions for these coaches bolting before the playoffs starts. I go as far to say that Lane Kiffin means as much to Old Miss as Jordan Travis meant to FSU.

Can’t penalize the players for their coach bolting. Seeding shouldn’t be affected but with this committee who knows.

I couldn't agree more to be honest, but I feel like Lane leaving in the middle of a playoff push should have serious consequences.

Almost like if you're quitting on the team so are we.

Don’t know how you punish a coach and somehow not hurt the players. I posted earlier that Lane was in a no win situation outside the payday. Stay and play the playoffs with a very long shot to win this season or go where you can be in a better position long term to win one. I only wish I was sweating a hundred mil decision.

How to do you punish a coach outside of basically saying if you run out on your team you are forced to stay out of coaching for a year.

But trying to enforce something like that////

I don't know how you can punish a team for their QB getting hurt and not do the same thing if their coach and main playcaller leaves. Both are completely unfair but there's precedent here.
Would it have been unfair to punish Notre Dame players when Kelly left? That’s kinda where I am with it.

I realize Miami won’t pass us up even if they look good, but is it too much to ask for a single game to go our way in the last three weeks? 😂 I mean, just one team needs to stumble, one. If we don’t make the playoffs it will be the most unlikely run of non-upsets in the history of CFB.

Is that even certain that Miami won't pass up ND? I'm not certain of that.
