Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Outside the NFL, does anyone reseed?

NHL used to

Is that why we have the balk rules now?

I thought faking a throw to pick off a runner was a balk.  No?  

Ah, I missed that part.  Looked like he was on the bump when he faked the throw.  

The balk rules are ... convoluted.  There is even a balk by the catcher which is rarely called.

Once the pitcher moves his back foot off the rubber, and then hesitates, he can fake a throw.  If it's all one motion it's considered a balk.  You have to step off and break the action.  

I saw in a recent game a pitcher slipped when making a pitch and didn't throw the ball, nobody on base, so no balk, but it was a clock vioation now.

Back to the CWS ...  UGA and Texas would seem about equally matched, to me, not really having delved into it much.  So, you have 8 teams, most pretty evenly matched, double elimination I think, it's tough to win the playoff even if you're very good.

I got called once for a balk to third, I think I was 12 or so.  I asked the ump what I had done and he explained it, nicely, I hadn't known the rule.

rooting for the B1G and against the SEC
not really that interested - probably won't be watching much

By the Super Regionals, the only Big Ten teams left were Oregon and USC, both eliminated.

Going back to the general field of 64, there was also UCLA and Nebraska.

Rooting for Nebraska is more understandable, especially on your part, but what is the point of "rooting for the B1G" if you're options are UCLA, USC, and Oregon?
