Don’t want to overreact to 2 1/2 games but the Thunder certainly seem to have a Spurs problem.
-
Well since this post they've played 3 games against those good teams (two vs SA and one vs Min) and lost all three. Definitely don't expect that to continue but I think 74 wins is off the table now. They'd have to go 48-4 to get to 74, which is what the Warriors started the year they won 73.
-
Even if that’s not PI, which it probably was, forward progress was stopped so there’s no way that should be a TD. Guy got dragged back 4 yards.

Alright Bears fans, what do you root for (if I have this right): Bears beat Niners, Ravens beat Packers, Lions beat Vikings, Panthers beat Seahawks I believe this would leave a scenario where if the Bears beat the Lions, they’d get the 1 seed but it would also mean the Packers make the playoffs. Let’s say you know the Packers lose to the Vikings in Week 18, do you root for the Bears to get the 1 seed or the Bears to get the 2 seed but the Packers are out.

Week 16: Bears vs Packers Saturday 7:20pm on FOX

The Patriots didn't punt in the Super Bowl they lost to the Eagles. -
They’ll probably add a stipulation about needing to be in the top 16 or something like that. Then unless it’s super clear they should go, the committee will conveniently keep them out of the top 16 or whatever they make it.
-
Well that didn't take long for OU to blow the lead. Bama gets the ball to start the 2nd half too.
-
Seattle is in control for both the division and the 1 seed. However, if the Niners win out, that would mean beating Seattle. SF has the tiebreaker over both the Rams and Seahawks so if they win out, they’ll get the division and the 1 seed.

Confirmed torn ACL for Mahomes.

Hopefully. But nobody looks all that great. Lamar likely not 100%. Don’t trust Pitt. Don’t trust Bo Nix. Don’t trust the Jags. Could be Houston too.
-
And the Bills now have the lead.

Watched the whole 4th quarter of Spurs-Thunder. Phenomenal. Well, until the last 15 seconds when it turned into a foul fest. After SGA made a dunk with 14.9 seconds left, each team shot 6 free throws. How have we not fixed this yet? Just make a rule that in the last XX seconds, if a team is up 3, any foul on that team is a shot and the ball. Because the last 15 seconds sucked to watch after watching the rest of the 4th quarter. Or institute the Elam Ending. That would get rid of fouling on both sides and they'd be forced to just play defense.
-
Yeah, I don’t see how you can look at a league that has seen 7 different teams win the title in the last 7 seasons and 11 different teams make the finals in that span and say there’s no parity.
-
The main argument against it is they’ve played the easiest schedule in the league so far. In the West, there are 6 teams that are 9-16 or worse. They have 20 games scheduled against these teams and have already played 13 of them. Meanwhile, they’ve only played 3 games against the 9 teams that are 15-10 or better. They still play those 9 teams 25 times. Of course they’re also 24-1 despite their second best player only playing in 6 of those games and they won 68 last year despite Chet missing over half the year. 74 is a lot of wins. I’d be shocked if they don’t get to 70 though.

Michigan fired their coach due to an inappropriate relationship. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/47269785/sources-michigan-fires-coach-sherrone-moore-9-3-season

2023 Florida State's QB got hurt, then whoever played QB the next two games could barely complete a pass. They subsequently lost 63-3 to a Georgia team that Alabama had beaten in the SEC title game. I know they had a ton of opt outs but still. I disagreed that Florida St got left out but I understand the decision. That same Alabama team then lost in OT against a Michigan team that won the title. Only loss was to a Texas team that made the playoffs. They beat 6, 11, 13 and 21 in the final rankings (FSU beat 13 and 15). Was it a little weird they jumped FSU? Sure. But they were absolutely deserving of being in the 4 team playoff that year.
-
I mean, they have one of the best 3 or 4 wins of the season by winning at Georgia so saying they did nothing is a bit over the top. Also, they got left out at 9-3 all the way back in 2024 so clearly they didn’t get the benefit of the doubt then.
-
Agreed 100% on the process. Wasn’t their reasoning that the Miami H2H win didn’t matter before because Notre Dame was in a different group than Miami? I can’t remember exactly what the reason was but it was dumb. I’m glad Miami got in over Notre Dame. Didn’t really care that much about Bama vs Notre Dame. One one hand, Notre Dame didn’t lose to Florida St. But they also didn’t beat a team as good as Georgia either.
-
Time for a little FCS minute. UC Davis got the 8 seed, which meant a bye and a home game. If they won, they'd get to face the North Dakota St buzzsaw (won 10 of 14 titles), who was 12-0 this year. However NDST lost at home to Illinois St today and Davis won which means we get to host a QF matchup next week. Only other two times we made the QF, we were on the road and lost. Will be a tough game because Illinois St beat NDSt, but still cool. Was at the game today (just got home) and will be going next week too.
-
Is Bama's O-Line awful? They can't run the ball and Simpson has very little time to throw when he drops back.
-
I hope regardless of the result of OSU-Indiana, that the loser gets either the 2 or the 3 seed so they're on opposite sides of the bracket. Neutral site so it's not like whoever gets the 3 seed would have to play at the 2 seed (like in the FCS playoffs).
-
Indiana, OSU and Texas Tech are locks for byes. Georgia gets a bye with a win (and maybe a close loss). Oregon probably gets the bye if Bama wins. Georgia, Oregon, aTm, Ole Miss ACC/G5 and a G5 team are in. I think OU gets in regardless of the Bama result so that's 10. I think if Bama loses but keeps it close, they shouldn't be penalized. But if this continues the way the first half went and they lose something like 31-7, I'm fine penalizing them for it. I also think Miami should get in over Notre Dame. The resume's aren't that much different and Miami beat them. That has to matter. Though if Bama is left out they might both get in anyway.
-
Doesn't have to be an either or. Can just lump them all in together.
-
Exactly. FIFA’s going to tell him to horsefeathers off because all they care about is making as much money as possible which means hosting games in the biggest stadiums that will draw the most fans.
-
Group I seems like the toughest group with France, Senegal and Norway. Maybe F depending on which Euro team advances from the playoff since it already has Netherlands and Japan.
