    Personally, I'm still quietly rooting for the "Duke wins the ACC but ends up not being the 4th or 5th highest rated conference champ and the ACC is completely shut out of the playoff hilariously" scenario.

    I don't think a Miami team that the committee already ranked below ND will jump ND for beating a team ND just beat 2 weeks ago by basically the same margin, unless ND absolutely lays an egg tonight against Stanford.

    Quick look at the CFP: At this point, I think you have to lock in Indiana and Ohio State at 1-2, regardless of the B1G championship result. Winner gets 1 and loser gets 2. 3 I'd probably give to Texas Tech if they win the Big 12 championship. Committee will probably give it to SEC champ with TT 4 but I'd reverse it. Maybe if Bama wins it they'd be 4, but I'm still hoping they just lose tonight. Oregon locks up a spot with a win today, along with Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Notre Dame. I'd personally have Georgia 4, Oregon 5, Ole Miss 6, A&M 7 and ND 8 (though I think ND is currently a better team than any of the SEC). Now, BYU probably should be next, but the committee likes OU and Bama better (thus I'm hoping both lose yet today), but only 2 of those 3 are sneaking in. ACC champ is 11 and G5 champ (North Texas) is 12.

    The Ravens had won 5 straight before Thursday.

    The more SEC I watch, the more convinced I am that there are no top 5 teams in that conference, but there are about 8 top 20 teams. Right now, the top 5 teams in some order are Indiana, Ohio State, Texas Tech, Oregon, and Notre Dame (which has 2 losses yes but right now are better than either team they lost to)

    This win also gives the Bears the best conference record in the NFC at 6-2. Eagles are now 7-3, and Rams are 4-2 (they've played 5 AFC games and 6 NFC games thus far). They also now have the tiebreaker against the Eagles, should it come down to it.

    Why did Ben Johnson take his shirt off in the locker room?

    How do you score just 14 points against this Bengals defense? That's just unfathomable.

    Well I finally feel okay about the secondary. Front seven, though...

    Honestly the best example of the conference championship being unnecessary is probably Ohio State, both last year and this year potentially. Last year, they lost to Michigan, fell a couple spots in the playoff, and then ran through everyone to the title having played one fewer game than most. This year, they could probably lose to Michigan and still get a bye, making the conference championship even more pointless for them.

    "Coach, I don't remember getting concussed." "That just tells me it was really bad."

    I think the thing I like most about Ben Johnson this year is the Monday press conferences, after he's had a chance to look at the game tape. Level of expertise and understanding I haven't seen in a Bears coach since....?

    Caleb Williams has had 4 games this season when he's completed over 60% of his passes. In those games, the Bears are 1-3.

    Very real chance the Eagles will be playing with a chance to clinch the NFC East next Friday.

    With their OT loss to the Lions, the Giants are the first team eliminated from playoff contention.

    The Steelers D was vulnerable to the pass, pretty good against the run, lots of sacks. Most impressive was the Steelers getting just a single QB hit all day (which was unfortunately in the worst spot possible)

    It's going to be hilarious next week when the Bears somehow win by 1 and still end up with a negative point differential on the season.

    Somebody is going to end up getting some nightmare Morocco-Norway-Italy draw, and I just hope it's Mexico.

    10 games later, they did beat the Knicks and 76ers at home, and won road games at Denver and Portland, so they barely came out of it over .500. So, maybe they are a playoff team. They have a win against the 13-2 Pistons and are the only team to win in Denver thus far. Would still like to see them put a team away just once, though. The schedule will ease up significantly here in the next couple weeks, though, 6 of their next 8 games are against the dregs of the league, with their other games coming aganist the Heat and Magic, two teams the Bulls will be battling with for playoff positioning. Need at least a 6-2 stretch here to keep feeling good about them.

    Couple other fun stories in World Cup qualifying: - Scotland beat Denmark to win their qualifying group and make the World Cup for the first time since 1998. - Norway beat Italy (twice!) to win their qualifying group and make the World Cup for the first time since 1998. - Erling Haaland of Norway scored 16 goals in the qualification tournament, which is an insane number considering 40 of the teams in qualifying didn't score that much (including Switzerland, France, Scotland and Germany, who won their groups and qualified). It also means there's still a possibility that all 4 of the parts of the UK can qualify. England and Scotland won groups, Wales and Northern Ireland made the playoff.

    They've looked better lately, but today was just an unprecedented result. Worst defeat for Uruguay as far back as Wikipedia lists results.

    What's gotten into the USMNT today?
