Cynical

And will not solve a damn thing. It will only escalate the whining by the G5 crowd. A P5 non-conference team making it over a G5 conference champion combined with even more blowouts will have the same idiots crying about expanding the playoffs even more. Because fixing the problem adding by even more weaker teams will somehow, by magic I presume, prevent blow outs.

It sure pays off for the school though *Cough* Longhorn Network *cough*

Another year, another new co-ordinator.

Congrats to the following for making the All-SEC Coaches Poll. Bama led all schools with 12 selections. 1st team: Jonah Williams, Alabama Jerry Jeudy, Alabama Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama Quinnen Williams, Alabama Deionte Thompson, Alabama 2nd Team: Irv Smith Jr., Alabama Alex Leatherwood, Alabama Ross Pierschbacher, Alabama Damien Harris, Alabama Isaiah Buggs, Alabama Dylan Moses, Alabama Mack Wilson, Alabama Roll Tide!

That's all Danielson. This is part of what said earlier where Gary will latch onto something and does not let go. It's not limited to just during the game, it will carry over. During the Tim Tebow years at Florida, he would constantly bring up Tebow during non-Florida games.

Expanding the playoffs will solve nothing. It will just add even more weaker teams, and create even more chaos. There are more 2-3 loss teams as opposed to 0-1 loss teams. You will still end up trying to answer the same questions: - Who deserves to get in. - And what criteria is used to determine that. The NFL has a very specific process for tie breakers, but even the NFL uses strength of schedule and strength of victory as criteria at some point. When there are 32 teams, in a very controlled environment, with the parity of talent from top to bottom, that criteria is piece of cake when compared to college football. In order to create a fair playoff system, we are going to have to go outside the box. At the very least, a simple solution would be the G5 teams band together and create their own playoff and national championship. And the trophy could be a giant golden cupcake.

The NFL is not college football, and the comparison is weak. The NFL has 32 teams split across 2 conferences in 8 total divisions. Everybody plays the exact same number of games. There is no way to expand the league unless a vote is taken by owners of the current NFL teams. The NFL controls everything: scheduling, creation of conferences/divisions, etc... College football at the FBS level has 130 teams across 10 conferences and some independents. About 3 years ago, there were 128. Not everybody plays the same number of games. (ND only played 12 games, but everybody else in the playoffs played 13). Any college program can be classified as an FBS level team, as long as the meet the NCAA requirements. The other schools have ZERO say in this. This year there are 130 FBS teams. Theoretically, there could be 135 next year, 140 the year after, etc.... At any point, independents could come together to create another conference. Current conferences can shift, as we saw this past decade. Other than player eligibility, all control is handled by the individual schools and/conferences until the post season. Independents have to generate their own schedule. Conferences dictate inter-conference play, and get to decide if the conference will even have a championship game. There is no requirement to have one. There is no way to make a "fair" playoff system in the FBS when the system itself is fluid and chaotic to begin with.

ROLL TIDE!!! One of UGA best games, and one of UA bad games. The good guys still won. 4 weeks to get healthy.

Danielson is not nearly as biased as people try to paint him to be. Whoever he perceives is doing well is who he will talk up. My biggest issue with him is, at times, he will latch onto something, and will not let go.

Awesome article. How Nick Saban Revived Bama Lots of nuggets of info. Everybody thinks Saban is this overbearing unhappy person. Does this sound like that person? "Saban, every Thursday, would receive reports from professors, via athletic department intermediaries, about his players’ performance in class. This particular report, former players recall, contained worrying feedback. Some had been letting their pants sag. Saban deemed it disrespectful. So he put the question to his team: You think it’s cool to have your butts all out of your shorts? … Well, do I look cool? And down his own pants went. The room burst into laughter."

A dark time for the ND faithful. A star LB with a fake GF, and being pummeled by Bama in the NC. I almost feel bad for them. Almost.

Bama in a defensive struggle.

LSU @ Texas A&M went 7 OT, and not for a lack of scoring. Tigers - 72 Aggies - 74

Another Iron Bowl in the history books. ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Probably as much as Spurrier had at SC

Not only can Jonah Williams can play tackle, he can cook. http://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/25232432/as-thanksgiving-approaches-alabama-crimson-tide-ot-jonah-williams-cooking-field-kitchen

Les and LSU came to a buyout agreement. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25287110/lsu-tigers-les-miles-reach-15-million-buyout-agreement He's going somewhere. He's also 65, and that part of the country is devoid of football talent. That's going to be one tough row to hoe. I like the guy, and wish him luck.

Oh, god, I hope not. He has way more baggage than Kiffin, and, in IMO, no way near the offensive aptitude. That's the big rumor.

That youtuber is great. I get mice in my garage on a regular basis, especially now with winter coming. For that area, I have found nothing beats a bucket trap. If the mouse is in the house, spend some time looking for how they got in, and closing it off. Otherwise, you could end up getting more.

Looks like Auburn can finally get Petrino as their HC. Oh wait. There is that pesky $32M buyout from Malzahn's contract.

Roll Tide! Weird game, but I'll take the win. Bama offense never got into a sync, and MSU had too many "WTF are they doing" moments. The Bama 49 yard FG was stunning... I was stunned they actually made a FG.

Ridiculous isn't it?

If Tua continues to play at this level and/or continues to develop during this season and next, IMHO, Tua has the potential to be the consensus overall 1st pick in 2020. At the very least, he's a first rounder. He has all the physical attributes (accuracy, arm strength, vision, anticipation, pocket presence, etc...) and all the mental attributes (pre-snap reads, decision making, leadeship, etc ...) that an NFL franchise could want in a QB. The only thing he is lacking right now is experience. If you are looking for a good non-biased (homer) assessment of Tua passing, I recommend this guy: Matt Wyatt He is a former a Miss St QB, and presently an analyst for Miss St. He broke down all of Tua's throws from 2017, and he has done some here and there from this season. He speaks very highly of Tua, and during an interview this year, said Tua had the best anticipation of any QB in college this year.
