    Around the NFL Week 17

    I’m watching on game cast but why wouldn’t the Seahawks boot the kickoff through the end zone with with 2:01 remaining. Pittsburgh then has to run a play and you have two TOs. Seems like a dumb decision by Carroll kicking the onside

    Actually I want the Chiefs to lose out and miss the playoffs. 

     

    If the Chiefs lose out and the Broncos win out with Jarrett Stidham starting I will be very very surprised.

    They have Bills killer Melvin Ingram who has a personal vendetta against Buffalo.

     

    I alway thought their best outside pass rusher was Andrew Van Ginkel. Guy has an absolute motor. Always seems to be the only one around Allen everytime we play them. Chubb in name is a big loss but I expect them to try to play everyone fully healthy or not. They'll gimp out Waddle and Mostert next week with it all on the line.

    Unless I am mistaken, one of the requirements for entrance into the Big 10 is the schools membership in the AAU.

    FSU is not in the AAU.

     

    On paper, U/Miami would be a better option.

    A footprint in FL, a major TV market, and an AAU member.

     

     

     


    It is not a requirement as Nebraska is not an AAU school but is highly recommended and FSU should be approved for AAU membership in 2 years as they are on track for increased research funding. Miami doesn’t fit because the Big 10 is made up mostly of big state public schools and Miami is a small private school 

    What contract will AJ Epen$a get?

    Hmm tough. If he hits Free Agency, he’s still young, has ascended every year but has never been a starter. I think he gets in the 8-10 million a year. 
     

    like others have said DEs are a premium and a lot of teams will think he can provide more with plays a game. Unless he’s at 6 mill or so I would let him go.

    Still getting Bills in as 7th seed when following this logic… unless you assume that they also lose to New England. Are you just burying the fact that you have Buffalo not winning again? 


    If this scenario plays out, we need two of Jacksonville, Houston, or the Colts to lose another game. That would be how we get in. Obviously one of Houston/Indy will get another loss but we need the other to lose and another Cinci loss

    And they will sign a new deal with the new place that most of the teams land.  There are only so many landing places in the existing conferences.  FSU wants to go to the SEC, they'd probably need a buddy to go with them.  Who in the ACC makes sense for that? For TV it's probably Carolina or Duke but I can't see the two of them voluntarily splitting up. For football it's probably Clemson but that doesn't add the most TV money.  Possibly Miami but they don't really fit into what the rest of the SEC is school wise and IDK if Florida would be super keen on having both FSU and Miami in conference. Virginia theoretically gets you the DC TV market.  Syracuse and BC are non-starters.

     

    I think the ACC could survive without FSU and Virginia.  You'd see them pick up UCF to keep the Florida footprint maybe court WVU away from the Big 12, maybe lean on ND to become a full member.

    I don't think UNC walks away from Duke. I might be wrong, but UNC in the SEC would be a perpetual bottom dweller in football and they'd lose a lot in basketball. What they might make in added TV money for football, they'd risk in losing bowl eligibility basically forever.

     

    Clemson and UNC are state schools btw.

     

    I can assure you that FSU based on information is much more likely to end up in the Big 10 than the SEC.  Even if ESPN came back to the ACC and said lets renegotiate, I dont believe FSU would stay. They are done with the conference unless they get an absolute sweetheart deal.

     

    The Rumors are that the SEC is much more interested in UVA and UNC than they are in FSU/Clemson while the Big 10 appears to really want FSU first and then will figure out their travel partner. Do not sleep on the possibility of Georgia Tech as FSUs partner to the Big 10.

     

    The ACC added SMU/Cal/Stanford to keep the conference together and to keep their current media contract.

     

    I suspect you will see FSU/Another ACC team to the Big 10(most likely either UNC/VA/or Georgia Tech

     

    The SEC will try to add UNC/UVA

     

    If the big 10 and SEC take 2 , which I think is likely, don't be surprised if the Big 12 tries to come in and snipe 4 more from the ACC to get themselves also to 20 teams.

    Who do we want to win with Chiefs vs Bengals? 
     

    Chiefs to get the Bengals out of our hair for good this year (assuming win against the Pats) or Bengals to make the Chiefs sweat it out?


    We def want the Chiefs to win. If we win out we beat the Chiefs on tie breaker, if the Bills lose a game, the Bengals are a big piece of us still getting in
