College football week 14 thread: ATLiens

Do you ever bother to catch up on threads before posting in them? Recent evidence suggests not.

 

Fun fact. The control box circled in this picture is the flight management system Black Hawk pilots use to control radios, flight plans, etc. It doubles as the world's greatest Pop Tart holder. Fits like it was made for it.

 

Would have joined them had overtime not been in place...

 

It's so much cooler to say you are entering the transfer portal than admitting that your scholarship wasn't renewed.

 

Exactly what has Oregon accomplished to deserve most favored nation status among one-loss teams? Fine, rank them ahead of Bama, but they don’t stack up to Texas or Ohio State.

 

Im assuming its that they lost by three points on the road to the No. 3 team and were driving to either force OT or win at the end of the game and:

Bama lost at home
Texas has the worst loss
Ohio State lost on the road by a slightly wider margin

 

Wait until UW loses to Oregon in the Pac-12 Championship … then you’ll really hear the Husky fans barking about how good the Ducks are (although it will make them turn green).

Contrary to what some are saying out here, there is no way the Dawgs are getting into the CFP if they lose Friday. Woof!!

 

I'm in and out of the board all the time. I try not to d_b tweets and I do look back, and I still get burned from time to time. This time I simply responded to

These rankings guarantee the Pac-12 champion is in, which is a good thing because it feels like the Pac-12 has been the best conference top-to-bottom this year.

 

Asked by an ESPN host if the committee might exclude the SEC altogether, Finebaum said, "Over my dead body."
An interesting choice of words. Fascinating how SEC people take football personally.
But he's right when he says that dropping Georgia from first to fifth because of one neutral-site loss to Alabama would be absurd.
