So are mulligans good for the sanctity of the regular season or bad?  Hmm, tough one.

This is a wrinkle though.  A team like Iowa who (by this system) is favored in 11 games.  But so many are narrow margins, they are projected to win 7.6 games.  But this metric doesnt really.account for that

As how thorough their explanation is for this, they'd have zero faith in the masses understanding your point, lol.

They are changing kickoff rules next season, will look a lot different
So are these the actual rules?  Because my first thought was sarcasm.

Yes, the new kickoff rules change where the kicking team lines up. I think now they line up on the opposing team's 40. Necessitated changes in the onsides kick rules, as they will have to line up like normal to do one.

Posting about football talk on a football board is getting my panties in a bunch?

This place is losing it. 

Bitch all day about Biden, Harris, food, guns, or whatever the fuck, cool.  Disagree with a football thing - PSYCHO!
Well, since I'm not speaking to you in person and I only have so much context from what is written in your responses you seem to be very animated about this list. 

I notice they left out Johnny Manziel from the list, but I couldn't care less.  It's supposed to elicit rage. Somebody else might write a list that puts Manziel at #1, which I wouldn't agree with either.  I found it hilarious that they listed Kyler Murray and put him under OU/A&M.  

Suh at #1?  Very questionable.  Great player, no doubt.  I had never even heard of several players on the list.  I don't even really remember much about Ed Reed in college, hell we're practically the same age (40's).  I think some of the choices are spot on, not everything is about pure stats.  VY was definitely a great player.  Cam, Tebow, all great.  
Why not just respond with your Top 20 list.

Oh, and I definitely think they did everybody a disservice by leaving out Colt McCoy.  That was a helluva great CFB player.

I liked Simms just fine.  Glad he spent his college years here.
