Imagine if the NFL told the 2017 Eagles that since Carson Wentz was hurt they didn’t deserve to be in the playoffs and replaced them with the Cowboys

Wow. I’m legit stunned. I thought I knew how the committee moved. 
 

Florida State should claim it if they win their bowl game. 

Defensive masterclass against a 10-win Louisville. They’re in.

If it comes down to Texas or Alabama, the committee will Texas and give Alabama the #4 seed because an SEC free playoff is  against the law or something.

 

 

I get why people think the committee will bend over backwards to put Bama/SEC in over more deserving teams but that’s just never been the case. 
 

Two times an SEC team has made it without winning its conference. 
 

One was 2017, where Alabama was the only one-loss option, every other P5 champion/good team had two losses. 
 

If you’re a UCF homer who thinks they should have made it instead, in that case mad respect welcome to the club, but its an unpopular cause the committee never takes seriously. 

For 2021, it was a very similar scenario. Georgia was one of two one-loss teams, with the other being a conference-less Notre Dame, who the committee didn’t reward for not playing an extra game. 
 

A Texas with a head to head road win over Bama is easily the strongest resume of the group, so it will be ranked ahead of them in the playoff poll. 
 

Alabama needs Michigan or Florida State to lose. The committee snubbing an unbeaten P5 team or a one-loss team with a massive head-to-head win over another one-loss team is beyond unprecedented. 

Tulane sold hard, they’re now out of the running for the G5 NY6 bid. 
 

Hopefully the committee goes with Troy or SMU, I really don’t wanna see the Fightin Falwells get that honor. 

There goes the PAC, Washington doubles down with a victory over Oregon in a classic high scoring hurrah.

Don’t really have any strong thoughts for or against the In Season Tournament,  but the running up the score for point differential aspect is great. 
 

If we’re ever gonna see a player threaten 100, this would be the circumstances to do it under. 

Delaware becomes next FBS team, Blue Hens join CUSA for all sports. Interesting move. 

Meanwhile Northwestern goes from 1 win to 7 and nobody bats an eye (and yes I get it’s because they don’t have the most famous coach to ever live)

Past precedent suggests they’ll go for 1-loss Ohio State. 

Cheaters never win! Three in a row for Michigan, this might be lights out for Ryan Day.

He’s not a year 2, 3, 4, or 5 year guy either

In college he has been. Went 2-6-10-10 at Temple and 1-7-11 at Baylor. 
 

Disastrous NFL tenure sure, but no college coach who’d want to go to Nebraska is without their red flags. At least worth a shot to see if he’s still got it in him.

Honestly, I think I'd like to see the Saints roll out a gold road jersey instead of white.  Much like I think the Seahawks should've kept the gray jerseys and dumped their whites.

Agreed but I think they should Georgia Tech it and wear a gold home jersey

Well the under hit!

Iowa wins 13-10 after yet another inopportune quarterback turnover for Nebraska. 
 

Matt Rhule ends his first year 5-7. Pretty whelmed with his first year. Defense got a lot better, offense got a hell of a lot worse, mainly the quarterbacks. He’s never been a year one guy, so recordwise this is right where I expected us to be. 
 

Problems are pretty obvious, so I guess we’ll see if Rhule can fix it.

That's B1G football* my friend!

 

My dad once said about a particularly low-scoring Nebraska-Penn State game (while we were flipping stations on a Saturday some years back), "I tell ya, they'd run the ball underground if they could."

 

*Admittedly, Ohio State and Michigan are not generally included in this tongue-in-cheek characterization.

One of my fondest memories in college was sitting out in the snow for well over four hours to watch a Nebraska-Michigan State game where neither team scored a touchdown. 

The over/under for Nebraska-Iowa today is 24.5. 
 

We may never see a total this low again in our lifetimes. 

Green over Blue is my favorite Seahawks look of all time (it would look even better with green socks) and Green over Green is my least favorite Seahawks look. 
 

What a difference one element makes.

Have you ever felt sad about your friends, so you put on some Drake, but you're like "whoa, hold on, I'm not that sad about my friends"? That's what Jack Harlow is for.

I like a chunk of his songs, but “White Drake” really is the beginning and end of his whole schtick. 

Appears to be the short list of finalists. 

A lot of Milwaukee-design core ones here, which is predictable but still disappointing.

I like the top left one a lot, especially compared to the rest of the bunch. I’ve never seen a shape like that on a flag before, so that’s the clear winner. 
 

I could live with second from left in the middle row, and the far right one at least looks like no other flag I’ve seen, so that could work as well. 

I really think these Chiefs wideouts are gonna be the anchor that weighs this team down. 

We saw them overcome this last year, but JuJu looks like prime Jerry Rice compared to some of these guys out here. 

Seahawks in the grey pants for the second week in a row! It’s a Christmas Miracle!

Most of the Chargers in powder blue socks thankfully

Since they’re never going back to purple for some reason, these will certainly do. 
 

The home jerseys are the best they’ve come up with since the purple set, although I think from a brand standpoint the D-snake hat should be worn with them to avoid the double up with the A-head, and the A-head should be worn on the road. 

A Roman Emperor Penguin is the type of pun branding that only works in minor league baseball
