  1. 3 weeks in a row.
  2. UTSA will now play in the First Responder Bowl on 12/26 and has become the first college football team in history to earn 2 separate bowl bids in 1 season.
  3. Doesn't matter. IU/Purdue is cancelled. Cases on both sides. Mustache man confirms
  4. I'm in the semifinals this week (thank God I had a bye because I would have lost) and agonizing over starting Kyler or Justin Herbert. Herbert's matchup is better, but the Cardinals will probably need Kyler to run to win, which could help. Also, a big eff you to Cam Akers, who I drafted and stashed for like 8-9 weeks waiting for him to take over the Rams backfield. He decided to do so after I gave up.
  5. Didn't even get to the first bowl before one was canceled.
  6. Championship game change:
  7. https://twitter.com/MartinMcCaulay/status/1338344140422131713
  8. Notre Dame DC Clark Lea getting the Vanderbilt job. He's from Nashville and played at Vandy so that always made a ton of sense for Vandy. Official Mustache Man word:
  9. This will make the repeated viewings of my 2016 World Series Blu-rays very slightly more awkward. In seriousness, good for them. Now change it to the Cleveland Spiders or we riot

  11. I'm not familiar with SEC football but firing Gus strikes me as a horsefeathering stupid decision.
  12. I could tell there was a forward lateral early so it wouldn't count, but still pretty freaking crazy to see it all unfold after that. As if that wasn't enough, the ESPN+ feed cut to a "technical difficulties" screen as the refs were announcing the penalty call and never came back. 12 years ago, BSU went into the MAC title game unbeaten and ranked #12 and a Murphy's Law game in Buffalo's favor ensued. Time for some revenge.
  13. From a program prospective, it seems you would absolutely want the bowl game for a myriad of reasons: funding, recruiting exposure, rewards for the players, and the extra 14 practices or whatever it is you get. BC's head coach pointed out that the real 'rewards' of the bowl trips usually revolve around a nice trip somewhere with friends and/or family. Events are usually held in the days leading up to the game that the players can have some fun being part of. Since basically none of those things are in play this year, there's not as much draw. I completely understand the idea. I doubt any of us really know how tough this fall has been on CFB players.
  14. BC has announced it's opting out of playing in a bowl game. Wondered if we'd see some teams do that. (Not counting LSU's hilarious self-imposed bowl ban.)
  15. And speaking of IU
  16. Very unsurprisingly, the B1G has reportedly voted to rescind the 6-game requirement to play in the title game, clinching the East for Ohio State.
  17. Not that it can't happen, but students are now off campus most places and they certainly will be the 2 weeks leading up to the playoff. That should hopefully keep things quiet. Speaking just for ND, they've said the team is not leaving campus the rest of the year.
  18. I didn't even consider Joe Davis at first because he's already such a star, but he would be a massive win. He's an outstanding game caller. I still suspect he is a long shot.
  19. Ohio State is probably safely in as long as they don't lose and Alabama beats Florida (or ND beats Clemson). The debate starts if it's 10-1 ND or 6-0 Ohio State without a win the caliber of Clemson, especially if OSU wasn't a league champion. (Not to mention 8-1 Texas A&M, which would surely throw its hat in the ring.) The side arguing that conference championships and more data points don't matter would be dripping with irony at that point.
