I'm not really arguing Alabama v Texas. I'm just saying it's disingenuous for Unical to keep claiming he wants fairness for FSU, while never once bringing up one-loss Texas getting in over FSU. It's clear he just hates Alabama and the SEC. (And trust me... I'm no fan of either of those things either, but come on...) As for your second point... I'm sorry, I just don't see it that way. I honestly don't think they put in Alabama just because they're Alabama, or because they had to get the SEC in there somehow. I think they put in Alabama because their stated mission is to have the four best teams, and they honestly came to the conclusion that Alabama is a better team. That Alabama's 12 and 1 record, when analyzed, was more impressive than FSU's 13 and 0 record. And the reason I believe that is because I came to the same conclusion. I'm no fan of Alabama or the SEC, but IMHO the totality of Alabama's season makes them appear to be a better team then the totality of FSU's. Which, I think, I was what we were after.

Why are you so focused on Alabama and completely ignoring one-loss Texas getting in over FSU. it’s really just about you hating Alabama, isn’t it?

I was pretty happy to have the SB era Buccaneers' uniform back a few years ago, but somehow, I feel like the luster has worn off a bit. The pewter suffers quite a bit from Nike's materials, and they make dull combo choices. Anyway, this is attempt to bring in more orange without just going back to the old creamsicles full time.

If the Seahawks wore the lime green jersey with white pnts, they might have something...

Right. ACC champion.

I gotta admit my entire focus this whole weekend is trying to figure out what throws the most obstacles up in the way of Michigan.

IMO (which, sure, means basically nothing) not only would Florida State lose to any of the other conference champions, they’d probably also lose to Oregon, and Ohio State. And Georgia would smash them. If the committee puts FSU in they probably have to stop talking about how it’s about the best teams and not about “earning “ it.

It should be; Michigan Washington Texas Alabama I have no idea if it will be, tho. Florida State is no better than the ninth or tenth best team. IDGAF about conference championships.

Blue and yellow vs blue and yellow? Yeah, there’s a great idea.

The only color on color match up I’m really interested in is UCLA v USC. I don’t really understand the weird boner for color on color that some people seem to have.

11 - 5 seems to be my absolute ceiling. Seattle vs. Dallas Indianapolis vs. Tennessee Atlanta vs. NY Jets Detroit vs. New Orleans Denver vs. Houston LA Chargers vs. New England Arizona vs. Pittsburgh Miami vs. Washington Carolina vs. Tampa Bay San Francisco vs. Philadelphia Cleveland vs. LA Rams Kansas City vs. Green Bay Cincinnati vs. Jacksonville

Unless you’re the Jets.

I’m pretty sure he just stole that take from an opponent’s sideline.

That would probably be about 50 years ago, and I'm just barely old enough to remember it. Why do you people keep dragging the Vikings into this dumb conversation? We are over here, minding our own business, having a perfectly forgettable season, not bothering any of you. Is everyone still all bent out of shape because we actually got to enjoy ourselves for a while last year? Leave us alone, you ghouls!

Or maybe we’re all just still insecure about their confidence?

Remember when that was all anyone could talk about? Seems like it was forever ago.

I almost positive a one loss Ohio State (especially considering the loss was to undefeated Michigan in what was, let's face it, the actual B10 championship) would get in over any two loss team. The committee kept them at number one for weeks, even tho they clearly (even to this admitted fan) lost the eyeball test to Michigan and Georgia by a considerable margin. My guess is, based on what he committee has done so far, it's a better than even chance they'd put tOSU in over any other one-loss non champion, excepting Georgia, of course.

The weird and disjointed look is definitely intentional. I was shooting for a 50’s sort of pieced together thing. Like they were a red and beige team in the 40’s and a new coach brought in a few black elements.

I prefer the classic...

So I suppose it's going to annoy the hell out of everyone if a bunch of chaos happens again, and Ohio State sneaks back in? (Washington gives Oregon a 2nd loss, Georgia gives Alabama a second loss, two loss Oklahoma beats Texas again, and Florida State loses... who else could it be?)

As a native of Columbus and a graduate of the Ohio State University I think that I’m allowed to admit we have our fair share of stupid fans. Luckily those small but loud dummies don’t make the decisions. Day isn’t getting fired. Seriously, who would they hire with a bigger upside? (A slightly bigger but still tiny chance would be Day bolts for somewhere else but I still doubt it.) Losing three in a row to those guys sucks but at least this one was not as unexpected. The last two I still don’t fully believe (which is why the sign stealing stuff is so easy to believe). The good news is I’m pretty confident that particular worm is about to turn. The NCAA hammer is coming, Harbaugh is likely bolting, they are graduating most of their best players, and we’ll have a whole new batch of 5 stars waiting for them in Columbus next year. It’s nice to know that when tOSU goes thru of rough patch they still get ten plus wins a year.

If you live in Gotham City your name can directly lead you to a career as a super villain.

That guy’s first name was Speed and last name was Racer. What if the poor bastard had just wanted to be a pastry chef?

It’s pretty nice seeing the Seahawks getting the arse kicking they deserve while wearing this uniform. It’s impressive that they can look as bad as they do in their usual uniforms and somehow pull out an alternate that’s noticeably worse.

If that drooling idiot Tony Romo says the Cowboys can win the Superbowl one more time I’m going to get in my car, drive to Dallas and punch that embarrassing homer in his pansy face. Shut up, a hole.
