  1. No thank you. I don't need some 3 or 4 loss team to get in just because they won a weak division and got lucky in the conference title game. Does that happen often enough for that to be a legitimate concern every year? I doubt it. Also, if some 3 loss team Cinderella's their way into the playoff, so be it.
  2. Excellent point. I've said it many times, but a New Years Day with all 4 quarterfinal games being played throughout the day would be the most epic sports day in America.
  3. If you're going to go to 8 teams you have to give 1 spot to the Top Group of 5 Champion IMO. If there is 0 chance that a non-power 5+ND team can win a championship in an 8 team playoff, those non-power 5 teams shouldn't even be playing FBS football Ok, well I'm fine with that. Let Bama annihilate Arkansas State or whomever it is every year.
  4. 8 team playoff plz. 5 conference champs + 3 at-large bids.
  5. [tweet] [/tweet] Well, Danny, touchdowns can be scored on the ground too. Auburn, LSU, and State's rushing offenses are ranked 6th, 20th, and 22nd, respectively. The fact that Bama hasn't allowed a single play to be run against them within their 10 yard line in 17 quarters is insane.
  6. Yeah, that's a bit much
  7. Top 10 WAR averages over a Ten Eleven Year stretch Babe Ruth (20-30) 10.2 Willie Mays (54-64) 9.4 Lou Gehrig (27-37) 8.9 Barry Bonds (94-04) 8.6 Ty Cobb (07-17) 8.6 Honus Wagner (02-12) 8.4 Stan Musial (43-54) 8.3 Hank Aaron (57-67) 8.2 Mickey Mantle (52-62) 8.1 Albert Pujols (01-11) 7.9
  8. whoa. that's gotta be a record for a hitter, right? Isn't Stanton's AAV higher? About halfway down the page is the AAV's. Looks like Cabrera is the only one who will be higher. Cespedes ties A-Rod though. https://www.baseballprospectus.com/compensation/cots/league-info/highest-paid-players/
  9. The Cubs have 7 guys with higher WAR's than Cespedes and their salaries combined next season won't equal what Cespedes will make next year. I love it.
  10. whoa. that's gotta be a record for a hitter, right?
  11. wonder if Derek Mason was happy that he beat Tennessee?
  12. Bama didn't give up a TD the entire month of November. They played LSU, Auburn, and Mississippi State that month. They've given up 8 TD's all year (5 to my pitiful non-bowling Rebels)
  13. Lol! LSU going with Coach O! Good god their AD is a joke
  14. lol at Texas. I think Texas thought Jimbo was going to LSU and that Herman was theirs. Now what are they gonna do?
  15. fwiw, only 2 players have three of the big four awards that KB has won in consecutive seasons. Trout and Canseco have MILB POY, ROY, and MVP. No doubt both of those guys would have had a great shot at the Golden Spikes if they had gone to college. MILB POY didn't exist before 1981, but if it had, Dawson would probably be in that group to have 3 of 4. His final season in the minors in AA/AAA he hit .352/.413/.658, 28 HR and 73 RBI. Fred Lynn may be in that group as well. His final season in the minor leagues in AAA he hit .282/.368/.489 with 21 HR and 68 RBI.
  16. KB!!!!!! Golden Spikes, Minor League Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and MVP in 4 straight seasons. AMAZING.
  17. That hideous king cake baby has been around for a while at Pelicans games. Guess that's why they went with that.
  18. So the Marlins AAA team in New Orleans has changed their name from the Zephyrs to the Baby Cakes... http://content.sportslogos.net/news/2016/11/New-Orleans-Baby-Cakes-Logo-Unveiled.png http://l.yimg.com/os/publish-images/sports/2014-02-25/ca895290-9ddc-11e3-8108-b50799fbffc4_kingcakebaby.jpg The Marlins AA team in Jacksonville changed their name as well from the Suns to the Jumbo Shrimp http://jacksonville.com/sites/default/files/styles/slideshow__640x360/public/field/image/150217_web1_1102JumboShrimpLogos.jpg?itok=FpQekVtv
  19. Ole Miss true Freshman QB looking like Manziel on this play
  20. props for the Reservoir Dogs quote. I laughed.
  21. Chad Kelly done for the season. Had MRI on his knee today. Jesus H Christ.
  22. SEC's top two QB's both hurt today, possibly seriously. Trevor Knight's shoulder and Chad Kelly's knee
  23. Never heard of that school. Is it new?
