Tonight we are all rebels.Sic semper tyrannis? Against Boise State...?
BIG CCG will have lots of empties. Absurd supply for sale. I just paid about 40% of face value for a quality seat.Indianapolis is a great host, but Chicago is a cheaper flight
Rebels blew it.Been doing so since the 1860s
Indianapolis is a great host, but Chicago is a cheaper flightnormally the case. I think this also tells the story of the increasing irrelevance of the CCG as an event. My wife's Maid of Honor is a Duck and lives out West, (and a former attendee of a CFB Board meeting in Nashville) but is all about spending the football budget on a playoff game, no matter the free lodging here at our place.
Sic semper tyrannis? Against Boise State...?Needed Boise to lose so they fall behind the Big XII CCG winner. Probably not happening now unless we see a repeat of the 2014 B1G CCG.
We had a 2-loss UNLV team whose best win was by 3 over Kansas playing for a trip to the playoff, and people are bitching about a 3-loss Alabama getting in?UNLV likely wasn't playoff bound even if they won tonight.
Mkay.
Melvin Gordon got 37 first-place Heisman votes vs a Big Ten schedule with a better season than Jeanty had this year. 37 out of 890.The competition for Heisman is different every season. Some seasons have way more deserving dudes than other seasons. This season Jeanty is likely the most deserving choice, although I definitely don't have a problem with Hunter winning it this year either.
Let's just keep that in mind when the Heisman vote comes out.
37/890Did Derrick Henry not deserve the Heisman since an RB the year before put up much better numbers but oNLy gOt 37 FiRsT pLAcE vOtEs?

BIG CCG will have lots of empties. Absurd supply for sale. I just paid about 40% of face value for a quality seat.I think in this new age where teams need to have their home stadiums ready for playoff games and where conferences are now coast to coast giants, it makes more sense to just have #1 team host the #2 team in their home stadium for the CCG.

You're making knee-jerk reactions of who won. I'm noting the % of first-place votes. Maybe Jeanty gets 300 or 500 or more.I like the silly, maybe dumb, double meaning of “his competition” in that post
But to have the year he's had CONSIDERING HIS COMPETITION.....I'd just find it interesting to see the results.
The Heisman voters make the pollsters look like John Nash.

A Wisconsin tailback will never win another Heisman. Ron Dayne is the end of the line.It could happen, in the right year. But it’ll be tough.
Jonathan Tayler (best UW back ever) and Melvin Gordon were better.
Maybe even Monte Ball, who shared the backfield with James White and Melvin Gordon - now that's a sick RB room.
JT23 didn't even get an invite to New York.I mean, whoever it would be would need a lighter field. JT's best chance came with a frankly loaded field.
It's never going to happen again.
Apparently, the bobcats are doing well w/o fearless FrankieThat was a wild turnaround.
We love a low-context factoid.I wish this was sarcastic for more of the people here.
For some reason, Boise is a media darling. Must be the Smurf field.They're like Gonzaga basketball.
Scataboo? Scattabo? Scattebbo?Scat-a-has run hard every play, all season. No one can say he hasn't earned every yard.

Interesting approach here.Wait... Did they actually fire him for cause to avoid a buyout? Or did they fire him because he wouldn't accept a renegotiated contract and still have to pay the buyout?

I can't imagine that they'll get out of this without paying a buyout.
At a bar/restaurant didn't realize there were so many asu fans. Even in the valleyThey're not accustomed to playing important games after Labor Day....:57:

Okay, perfect display of THE PROBLEM here - both Desmond and Saban saying ASU should be ranked ahead of Boise, but solely talking about them being "hot" and on a win streak, etc. No mention of overall SOS or anything having to do with resume....just that ASU is "hot."have to agree. aside from @Oregon week 2 when Gabriel and that Oregon team were still finding their footing and before they got hot- rest of that Boise schedule is hilariously easy.
College football is quickly becoming college basketball, and that's the worst possible thing I can imagine. It's blatantly obvious, but happening because schools get an extra dollar in the near-term.
It's so fucking stupid.
Meanwhile, this sure doesn't look like 2 v 5.
What would Oregon be ranked if they had failed to mount their furious comeback against FCS Idaho, as the only loss?4. Notre Dame
At least Georgia is used to overtimeOut of 3 yard plays in the playbook
If UGA loses and Beck is out indefinitely, do they get FSU'd from the playoff?We can only hope
Are Oregon and Penn State now playing for the #1 seed?Should be. The SEC sucks
Should be. The SEC sucksI don't think they suck and they actually might be better than usual top-to-bottom. That said, they lack a dominant team. It seems to me that they have a group of teams that could each win the NC or flameout in the first round.

First roundI don't see how PSU is #5. Hell, just compare them to OSU. They both lost to Oregon, but OSU lost closer, in a true road game. OSU beat PSU in Happy Valley. And OSU stomped Indiana. Yes, OSU has a bad loss, but they have 2 wins better than anything PSU has, including over PSU[th]Date[/th]

Bowl projections: Oregon, Georgia, Boise State, Arizona State headline first 12-team College Football Playoff - CBSSports.com (https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/bowl-projections-oregon-georgia-boise-state-arizona-state-headline-first-12-team-college-football-playoff/)
I dunno that this guy "knows" anything, but it's one projection. We'll know soon enough. Texas would seem to be positioned pretty well per the above, but I'm GUESSING Penn State ends up at 5.
I don't see how PSU is #5. Hell, just compare them to OSU. They both lost to Oregon, but OSU lost closer, in a true road game. OSU beat PSU in Happy Valley. And OSU stomped Indiana. Yes, OSU has a bad loss, but they have 2 wins better than anything PSU has, including over PSUI think the "logic" would be not punishing a CG loser in a tight game. I agree that OSU-PSU on a neutral field would favor the former by ~5. OSU dropped of course "lately" which matters apparently to the committee. It's a mess really at 6-12, nothing is going to be clear cut. I THINK Texas should be at 5.
Horns could have and IMO should have been ahead 17-3 at the half. Unloading a shotgun repeatedly into your own foot, makes a difference, as it turns out.It's been the blue print for the Browns since 1964
