Badgers host the Goophs at Noon. Fuskers travel to Iowa City at 7:30.

And lots of other good games today.

Going to miss part of the game to hang out with a high school friend who I only get to see a couple times a year and his family.

Not the most busted up to not be living and dying with the swings of that game.

Should be eating some leftovers, and might try to go for a run, but my body is honestly feeling pretty cooked at the moment.

Edit: Oh, I am meeting my friend and his wife at a bagel place. The people in my life have been talking up for years, and I finally get a chance to try it.

Another imaginary playoff team disappears. Never to exist.

I was a little surprised they got jumped like that. Memphis is relatively good, but I thought the green wave had a little more gumption to it.

RIP Tulane's playoff hopes.
With Tulane cleared out of the way, the only two ranked G5 teams are:

Boise lost by 3 at Oregon.  UNLV lost by a FG in OT at home to Syracuse and by five at home to Boise.  This weekend they have:

If they both win they'll face each other in the MWCCG which will effectively make the MWCCG a play-in game for the playoffs.

Cold morning here in the Twin Cities. 14 degrees with a brisk wind out of the northwest. 

This is a CBS game, so we've got 'CCO on. I haven't watched a full episode of The Price Is Right since Bob Barker retired, and today's show reminded me why I haven't.

I don't like how Drew Carey hosts, but it probably because my first office job started in the spring of 2007, and the change of hosts added to the change in life meant that it was a clean break from one place in life to the next.

TPIR is such a sad production now.   Drew Carey is so disinterested.     His dressing room must hang a sign in the mirror which shows his bi-weekly pay stub, because I've never seen a more bored 'talent' on any program.      The Johnny Olsons and Rod Roddy have to be puking in their graves if they hear the current announcer too.

Tough to make changes this late in the year. He was removed two weeks mostly because he was losing the team.

The team is lost anyway.

The Minnesota-Wisconsin series is the most-played FBS rivalry, and a Gophers victory would enable them to tie the all-time series at 63-63-8. Since 1948, the winner of this game has gained possession of Paul Bunyan's Axe.

I don't know what it would cost, but I'm ready to move on from Fickell.

Looked like a home run hire at the time.

Now, he is destroying the program that Barry built, which I did not think could happen.

This is Don Morton rock bottom stuff.

In theory it's a 3-3-5. 

They'd actually been really nice with that 2-4 when the OLBs were great. This year, they were thin at DT and then got hurt. Just a disaster.

Probably too much. He'll can his coordinators and get the desperation year. 

That said, this team is soft, poor along the lines, sloppy, bad on the discipline front, not all that organized. If it was under talented but seemed to be doing the right things, I'd give it more of a pass. But this just ain't it.

Oregon is now 22nd overall with a total of 14 appearances at #1.  

Guess who is one spot ahead of them with 15 appearances at #1?  

Yep, the Huskies.

The game was historically on Thanksgiving night, for many decades of the rivalry during the SWC. 

When the B12 was formed they decided to move it to T+1, along with Nebraska-Colorado, as their TV double-header for the day.

Now although the game has returned, it didn't return to its traditional spot on Thanksgiving since several years back,  the NFL decided to screw over college football history and have a game on T-day night.  And since there's nothing particularly meaningful about the game being on T+1, they just decided to put it on Saturday T+2, college football's traditional day.

For the 4th time since 2018,  Iowa beats Nebraska with a game winning FG on the last play of the game.

And once again,  I have no clue how Iowa won that game.  2 Nebraska turnovers lead to 2 Iowa FG's.  Iowa's offense had just 1 big play all night.  But it was enough for Iowa to win the game.

Odd ball game. Excited for the complaining about those two rather ugly missed calls near the end of regulation.

Calling that game "COFH" is a contrived deal, obviously, I'd never heard it before 20 years or so back, maybe it was in a newspaper column somewhere.  TV has to have a moniker.  Tech has a pretty good team, the Dawgs obviously can play pretty well and pretty ineptly this season, at times in the same game.

I have no idea why you go for 2 at 17-6. 

UGA "might" beat on of the Texas teams, maybe, in ATL, and then get bounced fairly early in the PO.

The name of the college football rivalry between the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech, “Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate,” comes from a book by author Bill Cromartie, published in the 1970s. The rivalry dates back to 1893, when the two schools first played football, and has been marked by violence, cheating allegations, and other hostilities:

Just how bad was the officiating in that Dawgs/Jackets Game? The different boards I perused were all howling at how much wasn't called in favor of the Kirby's

"Game ball goes to officiating crew"
"If I were a G.Tech fan in the crowd I would be storming the field and finding this crew"
"The Georgia tech coach had every right to walk on the field with a baseball bat and smash the skulls of these cheating refs. Refs need to be held accountable and messages need to be sent"
"At least the officials should wear the Dawgs colors"
"This is outright laughable with the refs"
"Wow. Wow. Wow"
"Good lord...this officiating...."
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
"Holy holding...."
"Obvious hold not called.  Good lord"
"How do they not even look at targeting? Lowers head and direct contact to the facemask on the QB, and they don't even look at it?"
"That was criminal to miss that holding."
"Georgia oline is holding like crazy, and the refs just watch it"
"The ref just watched the CB interfere with him and didn’t throw a flag!"
"How is that not pass interference!!!???"
"Georgia holding like a Bitch"
"These refs were given instructions, and they’re following it"

All of this can be replaced with GT's poor play-calling in all the OTs.  
You run roughshod over UGA all game long.  Dominate them, breaking tackles, etc.
Then, suddenly, because reasons, it's pass play, get blitzed, roll out, incompletion.  Rinse.  Repeat.
THIS IS NOT THE GEORGIA OF THE PAST 2-3 YEARS.  You can line up at the 3, call a normal running play, and score!!!!!
I love love love that it's what won the game in the end.  Normal-ass running play.  DUH!

"Georgia oline is holding like crazy, and the refs just watch it"

Watching the game live, some of the missed calls were painfully obvious.

On the game-turning play that caused the fumble recovery by Georgia w? 2 min left, it appeared on replay that Georgia's safety lead with his helmet. There was a long commercial break after the change of possession, during which I thought the Refs were checking for targetting, but no. However, you're almost never going to get any kind of targetting call in the dogpile between the Tackles:

(https://i.imgur.com/T1G83aR.jpeg)

The more obviously blown calls were missing the Georgia OL's blatant holding late in the game. For example, in the picture below, it is 2 & 9 with 1:20 left on Georgia's game tying drive - how this wasn't called holding deserves the outrage:

Dozens of people couldn't possibly be wrong.

And sharing an opposing view isn't the same as starting an argument.  It's the interrupting an echo chamber that seems to put people in an argumentative mood, though.

I view sports as "entertainment", usually it can be pretty good at it.  I stopped watching everything but CFB, MLB, and curling because I didn't find the events entertaining.

I didn't even watch any Summer Olympics.  

If my team loses, I get over it pretty quickly by reminding myself it's just a game, life goes on, if they win I allow myself to be suitably optimistic and hopeful (usually).  That team is guys I don't know who don't know me and their fate is not my fate.

Unless I let it be.

I didn't feel any "better" when my team won the two recent NCs, it didn't change my life, I felt good about it for a day or so.  Fine.

As my wife says "Fine.".

"Do what you want."

"It doesn't matter to me."

"Whatever."

"Nothing".

How much to teams/conferences get for playoff participation?


With the new 12-team playoff comes a new revenue distribution model. For 2024-2025, here’s how much each team will make in the College Football Playoff:

$4 million for each of the 12 teams that makes the College Football Playoff
$4 million for each of the 8 teams that makes the College Football Playoff Quarterfinals
$6 million for each of the 4 teams that makes the College Football Playoff Semifinals
$6 million for each of the 2 teams that makes the College Football Playoff National Championship Game
Additionally, each team who participates in the College Football Playoff receives $3 million to cover expenses for each round.

Additionally, each conference receives $300,000 for each of its schools whose football team meets the NCAA’s APR for participation in a postseason football game. Each independent institution also receives $300,000 if its football team meets the same standard.

good for the kicker. NFL typically doesn’t value kickers. Which is odd because they have enormous impact on NFL games that are typically very close and won by the skin of your teeth. NFL isn’t like college where it’s blowout city most weeks. Those games are very competitive. Usually.

good for the kicker. NFL typically doesn’t value kickers. Which is odd because they have enormous impact on NFL games that are typically very close and won by the skin of your teeth. NFL isn’t like college where it’s blowout city most weeks. Those games are very competitive. Usually.
Yeah, but it's because they're plentiful and easy to replace.

Detroit's kicker was selling concrete or something 13 weeks ago. He had a massive game a few weeks back where he hit two important FGs from 50+.

KC's kicker went 4-5 yesterday including kicking the late go-ahead field goal, and the miss was excusable because it was from 59. He's the injury replacement for Butker, after being the injury replacement for Moody in SF a few weeks back. 

Kickers generally have fairly long careers, there are only 32 teams and each one usually only rosters one kicker, and statistically out of 130 FBS teams you're going to be graduating a starting kicker on ~25% of teams every year, so you've got ~32 new job applicants for almost zero openings each year. 

So it makes perfect sense. Just about any amount of money a kicker can make in NIL is better than taking their chance in the NFL draft. Looking at NFL draft history (https://www.drafthistory.com/index.php/positions/k), the most recent year I've seen more than 3 kickers drafted was 2012, and before that was 1993...

Ohio State Police has released a statement after players got pepper sprayed following Saturday’s Michigan vs. Ohio State game. The brawl occurred after the Wolverines looked to plant a flag at midfield.

Players from both teams got hit with pepper spray as police tried to break up the brawl, according to Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde, who was in the middle of it. Video from the FOX broadcast showed Michigan players appearing to wash their eyes afterward, as well.


In its statement, OSUPD said officers from both sides deployed their pepper sprays. The agency will also continue investigating.

My son tried like hell to get me to go to that game tonight. I am extremely averse to sitting in extreme cold for four hours no matter what’s going on. Plus that’s money that is better served buying cold tropical drinks in Cancun in a few weeks.
Having been to several games in the low 20s and teens at the New Brickhouse, I don't blame you. They are fun at the time, but it takes a lot of energy to get through it.

all my college roommates started a tradition to get all our families together for this game. I hosted this year. We are the only Michigan backing family so my house was packed and overflowing with Buckeye gear. The amount of kids is now at an incredible level: Even though it was a terrible game, we always talk every year how this tradition has made the outcome somewhat irrelevant to us. Still true today. This game has become a great excuse.

Well, he could still win the NC.

Given his overall record, it is asinine to think about firing Ryan Day, but . . .

If he can't beat this year's crappy Michigan team with this year's Ohio State team . . .
In all seriousness, I think you have to give him another year....he's 10-2 about to make a playoff run. you fire him you sure you going to get someone better? I know Buckeye fans are losing their minds right now but this guy is good for 10-11 wins a year, recruits like gang busters, and runs a pretty clean ship in that his players graduate and they stay out of trouble for the most part. 

As for the underlined part, that's what is so brutal about this loss for him in particular. Michigan was replacing it's entire coaching staff this year, had by far the worst QB room in the country and probably the 2nd worst it's ever had in modern history behind RichRod Year One, by far their best player on offense TE Colston Loveland was out, their best player on defense CB Will Johnson was out, and their best home run big play threat on offense RB Donovan Edwards got knocked out of the game in the 2nd QTR, the game was in Columbus.....and he still lost as a 23.5 point favorite. It still kind of blows my mind he just lost.

I also think it's not a prudent idea to get rid of him just yet. Took Jeem awhile to get that OSU monkey off his back. Where would the program be had they fired him after losing 5 in a row?

said it day one to the Buckeyes that Howard was no upgrade over Honda McCord. If he was Honda McCord than the new guy is Pinto Howard.

McCord >>>>> Howard. Said that day one.

Ohio State would've been a better team this year had McCord had another spring/fall ball with the 1's and another year in that system. Instead they went and got a rent-a-QB who has never been all that good and got replaced by a younger more talented QB at his previous stop.

Now....had Ohio State gotten Cam Ward....well that's a different story....you go and make that trade all day long for the rent-a-qb.

If OSU players get suspended after that fracas, it could obviously be a thing in the playoffs.

Bowl projections: Ohio State falls to No. 8 seed in College Football Playoff, SMU earns first-round bye - CBSSports.com (https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/bowl-projections-ohio-state-falls-to-no-8-seed-in-college-football-playoff-smu-earns-first-round-bye/)

The above could go in my "rankings" thread, as it's conjecture, but has OSU hosting the Vols.  Miami drops to 12 and gets to travel to Texas (who they presume loses in the CG).  They have SMU beating Clemson in their CG.  Clemson had a weird kind of season, I imagine some fans are calling for a change, but if they beat SMU (and it's close to toss up) they will make the playoffs.

South Carolina had a weird season as well at 9-3 with that very close loss at Alabama and at LSU and got trounced by Ole Miss.

I was musing about coaches who fairly consistently win nearly every game they should, but lose critical games to rivals or strong programs, so they may end up 11-2, but the 2 means the season was ... nowhere close to a championship.

Richt was like that, people accues Franklin of being that way, and perhaps Day could join that group.  You beat inferior teams but lose to teams roughly as good as you or are major rivals.

That 11-2 might look better if you beat your rivals but get upset a couple of times.

There were only 2 "must win" games on the schedule this year.....and Day managed to lose them both - again. Head Coaches sometimes swing/miss on assistants like URBZ did with Zack Smith but he got Brian Hartline in '17.This whole Day narrative was smoke/mirrors in hindsight just look at his resume - coached under Chip Kelly in Philly & SF and one year as a GA under URBZ in '05.

 He looked solid with players URBZ procured and coached up but Tyreke Johnson let the cat out of the bag he was a fraud hanging on the Universities & Former HC place in the CFB World. Buckeye Fans got suckered in when the Bucks wacked Booger's Boys by 29 pts in '19 - with Urban's team and RD has left steaming piles since

SoCal is a hard place to live if you're a normal person. Even if you're an upper-middle class type person (me) it's a hard place to live. It's not the taxes, or the crime, or the mayhem--if you have a decent income you can avoid crime/mayhem (albeit not the taxes). It's the cost of living. 

But for someone with Urban Meyer money, all you really have are the taxes. And frankly the kind of money USC would throw at him would mean that even with high taxes, he's making gobs more take-home money than he's probably getting from Fox. 

I agree with your other point--the thing that would probably keep him from coming back is that he can no longer be the godhead of a program. We saw what happened when he tried to do that at an NFL program--and grown-assed men took one look at him and realized he's a joke. The issue with the new world of college football is if you try to be the godhead, any player with half a brain (so the minority) will take a hike for the transfer portal and NIL if they so much as sense a whiff of disrespect from you. 

I don't know if Urbz can survive that type of world.
