Looks like the 2007 AFC South and the 2013 NFC West both went 30-10 in non-division games. The worst was the 2008 NFC West at 10-30. The 2014 NFC South also only won 10 games but the Panthers tied a game so that division was 10-29-1.

So Seattle just scored to go up 7 and decided to go for 2. Is the added benefit of potentially being up two scores worth the risk of letting New England just have to kick the extra point if they get the TD?
-
Haha, same thing happened to me on Friday. None of them were items that could damage or be damaged by the other items so no idea why they couldn't ship together. Oh well, I'm not paying any more because of it.

It's going to be fun as a 3rd party observer to see it all play out. Alabama is already in (would have to lose twice to fall out and LOL SEC East) but every other spot is up for grabs. We could definitely see the first playoff that isn't just 4 conference champs this year. The Big 10 will get really interesting if OSU beats Michigan and PSU wins the Big 10 title game. We'd have -a 2-loss Penn State as the champion with a win over OSU -a 1-loss OSU with a win over Michigan -a 2-loss Michigan that hammered Penn State I'd guess OSU would get in because you can't put PSU in over Michigan because of how badly Michigan beat PSU, but the committee has shown they prioritize conference champions and H2H. Of course, we didn't have a conference champ with a worse record than another team in the same conference either of the last two years. Like you said, Bama's in if they win one of the next two. I actually think Louisville is in if they win their last two regardless of what Clemson does. If Clemson goes down then it's easy to put Louisville in but if Clemson wins out, Louisville's only loss will be by 6 on the road to another playoff team. So barring any major upsets I'll say it's Bama, Clemson, Louisville and OSU/Michigan winner.

Including the postseason, the Cubs are tied with three other teams for the 7th most wins ever in a season. 1998 Yankees - 125 2001 Mariners - 120 1906 Cubs - 118 1986 Mets - 116 1975 Reds - 115 1970 Orioles - 115 2009 Yankees - 114 1927 Yankees - 114 1909 Pirates - 114 2016 Cubs - 114

So the only sure things are Bama at No. 1 and Washington at No. 6 (at best). OSU will be in the top-4 and I'm guessing they'll be No. 2 but I have no idea. Also, if OSU beats Michigan and Penn State wins out, Penn State goes to the Big 10 title game.
-
It will be interesting how they rank Clemson and Louisville. We'll see how much stock they put in head to head matchups. Under your scenario, I'd guess Bama, OSU, Clemson, Louisville, Michigan, Washington. Michigan would obviously be 2 if they win. Washington will be the lowest ranked of the 1-loss teams and OSU will be ahead of Louisville.

Down goes Clemson. Pitt makes a 48-yard field goal with 6 seconds left to win 43-42.

Well Ireland just made me feel a bit better. Got a huge win in Austria today, 1-0. They're now on 10 points after 4 games and they've already played Serbia and Austria on the road. Looking good for at least second place as long as they don't bomb at home.
-
Good god, Holden. A man on the back post doesn't save that. Why he's not ranting about that rather than nobody tracking Marquez is baffling.
-
Nice defending.
-
Two blown chances there. Should have done better on the open header off the corner and Bradley should have passed to Wood.
-
Already looked much better in the second half than in the first, and that was true before they scored.
-
One thread seems better than week by week, seeing as we don't get much in each one (or any, in the case of Week 9). Anyway, the Browns used a timeout on the first snap of the game. Browns kicked off and on Baltimore's first play, Cleveland had 12 men on the field.

I ordered a bunch of stuff last Wednesday from MLB.com and the only thing that has shipped so far has been one shirt, which was sent out Monday.
-
It will probably come down to how much he prioritizes getting the most money. I doubt the Cubs completely lowball him (like a 1 or 2 year deal) so if he's willing to accept one less year and a couple mil less per year, there's a decent chance he'll be back.
-
Don't shortchange them. It's 5 years. They lost the 2013 series to Boston.
-
I hope that dope who always buys a Cards jersey with the number of years it's been for the Cubs on the back shows up next year in a 0 jersey. He won't, obviously, but I wish he would.
-
I can't stop watching the last play and the celebration on the field. It's just so wonderful.
-
Any idea how all the merchandise sales get distributed? Does some or all of it get put into a pool and split evenly between all the teams or are the Cubs getting all of the revenue from the World Series stuff?

Yep. Nobody would have believed you if you went back and told the board that he'd get a standing ovation after getting removed in his last home game and that people love him the way they do. It's an amazing turnaround.

I'm with you. I know a title is a title and it really doesn't matter how many games they won during the season, but I love that they went into the season as favorites and more than lived up to it. I love that they were a 103 win juggernaut that just crushed teams and weren't a team that played decent, won 87 games, snuck in and got hot for a month. I wouldn't complain if they pulled a 2006 Cards because it's still a title, but I'm glad it went down like it did. And then we got the playoff highlights. Javy Game 1, Arrieta and KB in Game 3 (even though they lost), the comeback in Game 4, Miggy Game 1, breaking Kershaw's soul in Game 6, Schwarber's return and almost everything in Game 7. Not that Cleveland fans would have cared had they won the title, but up until the Davis HR, they didn't have any epic moments. They barely trailed during either of the first two series and didn't have a single comeback until Game 7. Their playoff highlights consisted of scoring a few early runs and having their starters pitch well enough to keep the lead through 5 or 6 before letting Miller and Allen pitch 3-4 innings.

This just has the Grant Park part of it but it's something. No montage though.
