It has nothing to do with media portrayal and angst, and more to do with FSU not looking impressive at all this season, and none of their competition looking impressive at all either.
-
No, one loss would probably dump them behind those two 2-loss teams.
-
I'll look, but I imagine that UGA and UCLA would take an act of God to get in. Win conference championship, have two of FSU/OSU/B12 champ lose again, and they're in. That's quite a bit of help. Georgia needs to beat Georgia Tech, have Missouri lose, beat Bama/Miss St and have at least two of Oregon/FSU/TCU/Baylor/OSU lose (if not three if both Bama and Miss St win their last two games). UCLA needs to beat USC, beat Stanford, beat Oregon and have three of Bama/FSU/Miss St/Baylor/TCU/OSU lose. I didn't say it was a good chance, just a 5% chance.

Five Thirty Eight ran numbers for the playoff participants, and projects only 10 teams that realistically have a shot at this point to get into the playoff: Alabama, Oregon, FSU, Ohio State, TCU, Baylor, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Georgia and UCLA. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/fivethirtyeights-college-football-playoff-forecast/

I have a feeling that Iowa is the second best team in the B1G.

Utah 18, San Diego state 17 at the half today. Sounds like a low scoring football game.

Week 11: Vikings (4-5) @ Bears (suck), Noon CBS/780
bukie replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports
There are a lot more Blackhawk bandwagon fans than there are that. Though I'm sure anyone who did that is probably a huge Blackhawks "fan" now too. The Blackhawks thing wasn't so much related to the team being bad as it was the owner actively driving fans away with everything he did. -
Faroe Islands went to Greece and won 0-1. Greece sacked their coach after this result. Greece is also in 6th place in their group, currently 0-3 at home against Faroe Islands, Northern Ireland and Romania.

So Gammons did say this, but there was a lot more too it, and it didn't sound like it was nearly a done deal when you listen to the actual audio clip. They just played it on the Score. Care to elaborate on what he did say?

Keep in mind, the Marlins also signed Jose Reyes to a 6 year, $106M contract that shocked people that thought the Marlins would never give out a big contract, and then promptly dealt him less than a year later.
-
Game over. 114-56.
-
This is more encouraging than the first game.
-
Seattle is now 6-4, 0-1 in the NFC West, and 5 of their 6 remaining games are in the division. They have yet to play the 49ers and Cards.
-
This isn't going to be a thing for you, is it? If Rose plays 50 games this year and is healthy for the playoffs, I'd feel better about the playoffs than if Rose goes 35 minutes a game for 80 games this year.

Fangraphs/BP/BA Cubs Top Prospects List

And that was the last time anyone followed BP on twitter Man, grats WSR on the BP writing gig. -
Idiot, yes. Why creeper? He used to have the @ESPNChiBulls twitter handle, but he was so obsessed with cheerleaders on his feed he lost it and had to use his personal twitter account. Seriously, almost half the tweets from the old handle were creepy details about the cheerleaders at the game.
-
In fairness, though, Nick Friedell is also an idiot, and a creeper.
-
He postulates the Cubs either have to move Castro to LF or trade him. False dichotomy.
-
Auto-bids for the Power 5 (which is an even worse idea, but it's going to happen). They're not expanding to 8 without them. Almost every league has 3-loss teams at least kind of in the race for the title, especially with the unbalanced schedules in the SEC and B1G. Current leaders: ACC: 7-1 Duke, 8-0 FSU B1G: 7-1 MSU/7-1 OSU, 7-1 Nebraska B12: 7-1 KSU P12: 8-1 Oregon, 7-1 ASU SEC: 7-2 Mizzou, 8-0 MSU LOOK AT ALL THE 3 LOSS TEAMS RUINING COMPETITIVE FOOTBALL.

It'd be a more believable hypothesis had the Royals' baserunning actually provided more value than other teams, but they were actually in the middle of the pack. It's akin to attributing the 2005 White Sox success to grinder ball even though they led the AL in homers. Per BP, KC led the MLB in baserunning runs by a wide margin. What metric are you using? FG's Base Running Runs Above Average. They were 1.2 runs above average, while the Nats, Indians and Twins were over 10. (Cubs were basically neutral here).
-
On the other hand, one thing the Royals did excel at was fielding and defense (along with the Cardinals), which would actually provide reasoning for some of the positive variance they (and the Cards, actually) had vs their third order win %.

Yeah, Billy Beane should have actually PLAYED BASEBALL before he wrote Moneyball and became a GM. -
The Mets only have 20 years left on Bobby Bonilla's contract payments.
