Meanwhile the team laid an literal egg against Oregon.
A literal egg? I would've paid to see that!
A thesaurus would have been cheaper.

Then you should invest in one.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Well, most of your posts make as much sense as Colorless green ideas sleep furiously, so I am not that surprised.

Not the first time. It ran through East Lansing and Iowa City in 2015.

No. Michigan State reached only the final four, not the championship game.
Iowa got only to the BIG title game and lost to MSU.
It would be good for the league to have some fresh faces in the CFP, maybe even two the same year.

Well, it sure the hell didn't pass through Columbus in 2015.

I would love to see the, Bama and ClemSIN outside looking in, in favor of new blood. Georgia, Oregon and MSU i count as new blood, even if they have each been in the playoffs once. 🖊 State or Iowa would be good. I think ClemSIN looks unlikely. There is plenty of precedent for the Committee to look past early season issues to pick a team playing well at the end (as in the in 2014) but not with ClemSIN's schedule. They won't sniff a top 25 team until the South Atlantic League championship game. Pretty much any one loss Power 4 team have a better resume.

I'll be in Ann Arbor at the end of October for Northwestern-Michigan game.  While I made the plans back in July, I held off on getting tickets.  As Michigan has improved each week, and seems a lot better than most thought they'd be, I had the pleasure of seeing ticket prices going up each week.  I finally pulled the trigger and wound up at $200 for tix I could have had a couple of weeks earlier for $100. At least I managed to get a reasonably priced hotel room, something I wasn't expecting.  For graduation though, I'll probably have to stay in Toledo if I want to get a reasonably priced hotel room.

Looks like BYU is the best team in the PAWCP South.
Would be if BYU played in the Pac12.
Sigh.


And you never lent creedence to my opaque posts of many a year ago.

I generally thought of Columbus as a good piss stop on the long road to the CFP Championship on a longer trip that usually ended in Tuscaloosa.

But both the Big However Many Championship and the playoff game for MSU were also in 2015. I think. I have no memory of the playoffs that year. I assume we won.
