"We lost to NIU" has turned into IE's version of "Brawndo - it's what plants crave." Fair or not, reading the same stupid shit over and over is exhausting. Clearly, it’s impossible for our brains to consider any other factors the committee might weigh so brawndo is what plants want and that's that.

Knapp has been solid most of the year. Lambert has the size and athleticism to be a dominant, difference making LT. Let them compete. Start the best one. They wouldn't be messing with something that isn't broken, they'd be making a good oline better.

You could be right but we have no reason to assume this is what they'll do. They typically punish the loser of these games. Maybe that changes going from 4 to 12 teams but who the hell really knows.

If they pound AnM and lose a close game to Georgia, probably not.

They need help but the path is there. I'm guessing more than two teams ranked ahead of them lose before the year is done. That's all they really need to justify the bump.

Bama is getting into this thing.

If quality of loss was the only metric used we'd be out of the conversation entirely. Penn State greatest accomplishment this year is losing to a good team. That's not compelling.

Yes, they do. They explicitly provide what they use to decide their rankings on their website. https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2016/9/30/overview "The selection committee ranks the teams based on the members’ evaluation of the teams’ performance on the field, using conference...

No. We have a chance to embarrass USC @their place. Penn State needed overtime and the refs to win @ SC. It's a data point the committee considers.

https://gigemgazette.com/suspicious-stat-draws-texas-a-m-fans-ire-towards-refs-after-poorly-officiated-loss They played Bowling Green on 9.21. Since then, they've played Arkansas, MIzzou, Miss State, LSU, South Carolina, New Mexico State, and Auburn. Little strange.

Best case scenario for environment and it allows me to attend the game and enjoy the Saturday games at home.

The most interesting thing in the next poll is how they position Miami, Clemson and SMU relative to the SEC teams still in the mix. I assumed the ACC would get one team in - the ACC Champ - but the SEC shitting themselves gave the ACC a viable path to getting one or maybe two at-large spots 4...

There are several signs that suggest we should be optimistic about him being a good, maybe great, coach. They play with effort from start to finish. Every coach talks about effort but it is clear that effort is a point of emphasis when I watch them. Watch off the ball things like getting down...

Bama down 14

You gotta be impressed with his perseverance - he just kept throwing them the ball until they picked it off again.

In another life, may this crushing burden of motivation fall solely on me, sparing the rest of you. I’ll bear it with grace.

The issue isn’t whether it’s too much too fast or that the money is "unearned" - money has always been thrown around based on potential, so that’s not relevant imo. The real question is how this money will impact his development. For most 18 year olds, it’s likely to have a negative effect...

Even if he coudl go, the last thing they need is for him to re-injury himself shaking off cut blocks from these guys.

The last two five stars they signed were young and mayer, right?

My guess is the low end face value will be $250-$300 per ticket. Low end aftermarket prices may fluctuate based on the matchup but I think it'll be 2x face value at minimum. How do they determine the time slots of the first round games? There would be a lot of drunks in the stadium on...
