another reason I don't/haven't used AI for anything

Manning didn't like Osborne's Huskers, neither did Florida

AI can't even count to six.


The Tennessee Volunteers have appeared in the Citrus Bowl five times, with a record of 4-1. They won against Maryland in 1983, Ohio State in 1996, Northwestern in 1997, and Michigan in 2002. Their sole loss was to Penn State in 1994. In their most recent appearance in 2024, they defeated Iowa 35-0. 


Here's a more detailed look: 


  • 1983: Beat Maryland 30-23
  • 1994: Lost to Penn State 31-13
  • 1996: Beat Ohio State 20-14
  • 1997: Beat Northwestern 48-28
  • 2002: Beat Michigan 45-17
  • 2024: Beat Iowa 35-0

Ummmm......



Montana wore 3 at ND and I know GT hasn't been great, but they're not mid-MAC status.  Johnson didn't wear 16 at any level I'm aware of..... FFS


Google's AI hallucinates at a much higher rate than ChatGPT or Grok, in my experience.  I mostly ignore it and still use Google only for web searching.

I like to look at Google's little AI summary and catch the obvious errors, from the sources it itself is using to to create the summary.  

I agree that ChatGPT seems to be much more reliable.  Haven't used Grok.  I have used Copilot, we have the paid/licensed versions at work and it's pretty good too.

Here's the fun part and why I shared this....I didn't seek out the AI page.  It defaulted to it.  The "All" tab wasn't the default.
So that's fun.

ChatGPT is also piss-poor when it comes to college football stuff.  It simply doesn't have the volume it requires to produce anything useful.  It also doubled down when I questioned an error in its response.  
That creeped me out.

I believe this is positive news for the teams that like to schedule tough OOC opponents:

I checked it out one time and one of their 2 sources was wiki - which could be the onion trolling

It's just history repeating itself.

The initial BCS was fine, except that it wasn't, because it would alter itself each year.  Annual tweaks until it just became stupid.

Rinse.
Repeat.

I remember how fired up i/we got when we found an error on a Trivial Pursuit card.    not quite Moops or Moores moment, but the card said the Indy 500 has 250 laps.

AI errrors abound.

reminds me, anybody remember when Kareem (who dominated Celebrity Jeopardy) corrected Trebek on an Answer during the game?

I would love a college football trivial pursuit.
Hell, I'd love a Cards Against Humanity college football version, but Idk how to play it with you guys online.

Long ago I was playing Trivial with a group and the question was "Germany's largest battleship".  It's a trick question!!!  I stated, and the more correct answer is the Tirpitz, but the TP answer was Bismark.  The most standard size ranking used for ships is tonnage, and the Tirpitz has more than Bismark, which is slightly longer.

The Tirpitz of course has a much longer but "less storied" (or movied) career.  But I digress....

I'm sure we'll see some expanded playoff fairly soon, $$$$.  I don't care, have at it.  Some day we'll see some 9-3 team run the playoffs and be crowned NC, when they are really playoff champions.

We already have that in the NFL.
CF is just trying to be Pepsi for some reason.

I remember our version of trivia pursuit had a question about which city has a baseball and football team with the same name. The answer was St Louis, but that's obviously not true any longer.

SEC to go to 9 conference games in 2026.
3 permanent rivals.
will play every one else every 2 years
will still be required to play 1 P4 + ND team OOC
.
How come no one bitches about the ACC playing an 8-game conf schedule?  :96:

.
All kidding aside, I think this is simply an acknowledgement that needing an elite W-L record is no longer necessary to make the postseason.  Risking another loss with a touch schedule is perfectly fine now.

College football doesn't remember what it looks like in the mirror.  So much makeup caked on.....might as well be a clown.
