  1. Yes, I know that Maye has 11 picks this year and that Caleb had 1 this year before today. Just thought the timing was funny.
  2. I'm not sure I agree with it but I get it. For the two-loss teams: OSU gets dinged because they didn't look good without Sayin last week and he's not coming back. If they win out, they'll be in because other teams above them will lose. And if Sayin is that much of a loss, they'll lose another game or two and be out anyway. USC gets dinged because of Sayin being out. They're low but they still play at Indiana and at UCLA so they're in if they win their last three games. Iowa lost by 17 to the only ranked team they've played. Northwestern lost to both ranked teams they've played (Indiana and Oregon) but they still play Iowa and Ohio St.
  3. Yeah that's a weird situation. Seems like they generally tried to follow H2H. BYU over ND, Bama over Kentucky, Ole Miss behind Texas but ahead of LSU. The problem is if you move Tennessee up ahead of Bama, they're then ahead of Texas who beat them. If you rank them Texas-Tennessee-Bama, well, then we're parsing good wins (Texas over OSU, Tenn, Ole Miss, Bama over Kent, Tenn over Bama) vs bad losses (Texas to OU, Tenn to South Carolina, Bama none). Without putting too much thought into it, I guess I'd reward Texas for the OSU game, and rank those four Tex-Tenn-Bama-Kent and figuring it will sort itself out with the ranked games each one has left.
  4. Shades of the AL this year except in the AL the three good teams all made the playoffs. But it’s more than the AL West winner got to host a playoff series and the Central winner got a bye (South and East obviously won’t get byes but like you said, they’ll host a game).
  5. Butler missing to the right costing the Chiefs the game.
  6. This year was the first time in the WC era (so since 1995) that the team with the better record won every series. The lone upset by seed was White Sox over Astros but the Sox had the better record.
  7. Meh. Thats pretty tame. He’s telling fans to do what fans are going to do, which is trash talk fans of a rival fan base.
  8. I feel a little bad for Cooper Pratt. You hit a home run that would have been shown for decades if the Brewers close out Game 4 and now it’s going to be largely forgotten except among Brewers fans.
  9. Something finally went the Rays way this series. Seems like every bounce has favored Milwaukee. A pair of 1 run wins and Game 3 was very nearly only 2-0 going to the bottom of the 5th.
  10. Give me one more win at least so then I'll either get the Brewers winning at home (always better when that happens) or only the second 3-0 comeback ever.
  11. Hooray for no sweep!
  12. 1st and 3rd with no outs for the Rays. Don't Cub this up.
  13. 2015 Cubs went 97-65 and got swept in the NLCS. They came back the next year, won 103 games and won the WS. 2025 Brewers went 97-65 and got swept in the NLCS. They came back the next year, won 103 games and are about to win the WS.
  14. Kind of funny you give the Pirates a WS but just skipped the Reds.
  15. Welp this series is over.
  16. The 2016 Cubs got home runs from two pitchers in the playoffs and David Ross hit a home run to dead center off of one of the best relievers in the league.
  17. Jalen Williams had a gruesome ankle injury tonight. Would obviously suck no matter what but doubly so coming off the injury plagued season he had last year.
  18. I guess I don't really understand your point. You said "They never do that well the first few years it seams" yet Oregon and evidently Penn St both did well right off the bat.
  19. Very Cubs-esque loss from Tampa tonight. Score 4 in the first, then the offense shuts down and the pitching just gradually gives the game up.
  20. Oregon went 13-1 in 2024, their first year in the Big 10, losing only to Ohio St in the playoffs. Then last year they went 13-2, losing twice to Indiana, while making the CFP semifinals. So the only teams Oregon lost to those seasons won national titles.
  21. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50232936/ohio-state-plan-julian-sayin-rest-season Sayin probably done for the year, playoffs included.
  22. That’s how they always do it. They have their set schedule on when the games will be for the entire playoffs and they don’t start early if series end in sweeps.
  23. Rooting for the Rays to win in 7.
  24. If by some chance Junior Caminero hits a walkoff home run to win the World Series, they better hope his run isn’t the winning one because he might never finish rounding the bases.
  25. Who knows if it's a trend or a fluke, but since 2009, the team to clinch the pennant first is 4-12 in the World Series.
