Ohtani to Dodgers for an ungodly amount of money
soccer10k replied to JD94's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This is a good PTR joke if you assume he actually meant $500 and not $500M. -
I see 1 maybe interesting game in Missouri-Oregon. Two rematches, one featured 3 total TDs and the other a 52-17 blowout. And the fourth game will feature a backup or 3rd string QB. And it wouldn’t be FSU-OU. It would be Liberty instead of OU which would somehow be even less interesting. Last year would have been Tulane-TCU (boring), OSU-PSU (rematch, though a higher scoring game), Bama-USC (I’d watch) and Tenn-Kansas St (another injured QB). And ridiculously enough, 2 loss Clemson and 3 loss Utah get byes.

Whether or not a team gets a bye is not close to the same stakes as whether a team is in the playoffs or not.
-
Is that supposed to be a good thing?
-
Except conference championship week won’t matter as much next year. Like I’d probably still tune in to Wash-Ore and Georgia-Bama if I had time. But I wouldn’t make it a point to watch them anymore. For example, I didn’t watch the regular season game between Wash and Oregon. But I made a point to watch each of those two games. I also watched some of the ACC game after dinner. Won’t do that next year knowing FSU gets in no matter what. I’m still going to watch the games because I’m a sports fan. But the season and playoff will be less interesting to me next year.
-
Likely Carolina due to that division being awful. Whoever played the weaker schedule gets the better pick.
-
I couldn’t be any less excited for the Orange or the Fiesta.
-
We basically just did have a weekend of playoff games. All that will mean next year is you’re changing which games matter and when they’re played.
-
Petition to swap Liberty with Georgia. Let Liberty and FSU face off and give me Georgia-Oregon instead.
-
FSU barely beat BC, Miami and Clemson too. Goes both ways on that. LSU hung with both teams for a half before both pulled away. Plus even if the SEC is down a bit this year, it’s still stronger than the ACC.
-
i disagree with it but at least that I understand. The ACC stinks and FSU lost their QB.
-
You could maybe sell me on putting Bama in over FSU due to the injury. I wouldn't do it personally. An undefeated major conference team gets in unless there are five of them. My vote would be Michigan, Washington, Texas and FSU in that order. Sorry Bama. Shouldn't have lost at home to Texas.
-
Louisville's offense sucks.
-
They’re not according to the computer rankings. Before the week in Sagarin, Georgia was 3 and Bama 5 while SP+ has Georgia 2 and Bama 8.
-
His logic is a bit flawed because it’s not just those two results. One team in between them has already lost, a second didn’t even play in the conference title game (OSU, and we know the committee priorities winning your conference) and there might be a third that loses (FSU). So you’re not bridging the gap between 7 and 1 so much as you’re bridging the gap between 5 and 1. It will be a complete sham if FSU loses and Texas gets left out.
-
Not that you’re saying it would or could happen, but there’s no way Georgia gets in over Texas.
-
It really is. Especially since it was just two years ago that 11-1 Bama beat 12-0 Georgia and they both made the playoff.
-
Would only be two teams in this case though. For the above to be the case the committee would have to rank Georgia over Bama which is never going to happen.
-
Easy call for me but I seem to be in the minority in that thinking. From pure entertainment I hope FSU loses because I don’t think they’ll be as good without their QB. But if they win they should get in.
-
Been a pretty good game. Georgia burned about a minute there not being able to pick up a first down with less than a yard to go on 3 different occasions on that drive. Had to burn a timeout before the 4th down play too.

Ohtani to Dodgers for an ungodly amount of money
soccer10k replied to JD94's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Maybe I don’t understand because I don’t make millions of dollars per year, but I don’t think I wouldn care about taxes at all in that case unless all else was equal about two places and I couldn’t decide. -
ManU was up 2-0 and 3-1 on Galatasaray but tied 3-3. That, combined with Copenhagen somehow getting a draw at Bayern Munich, means ManU needs to beat Bayern and hope Copenhagen-Galatasaray ends in a draw to advance. If there is a winner in that second game, that team moves on and ManU is out.
-
That’s the same as the line would be for a top FBS team playing any FCS team.
-
Iowa’s team total for the game is 6.5. I get it but it’s still hilarious to see.

Have they ignored H2H before where the resumes were this similar? In 2016 Penn St went 11-2, won the Big 10 and beat Ohio State by 3 at home. But they also lost to an 8-4 Pittsburgh and lost to Michigan 49-10. Ohio State also won at a 10-2 Oklahoma by 21. Those resumes are not that similar. I'm not sure if there were other instances but I remembered something along those lines happening and was able to look it up. It is the ultimate trump card for Texas. They went to Alabama and controlled that game. They trailed for just over a minute at a place that nobody ever wins. If you just lined up the games, Bama's probably got a better resume. But it's not so much better that we can just ignore H2H. It's not like Bama lost to a team from a non-power 5 where the conference slate doesn't match up.
