Will there be even one undefeated team in the CFP this season ? I'm thinkin the answer has a more than just a good chance of being no.

As far as the game went, IMO the best team won.

Ref's made some sucky calls. But refs always make sucky calls. And, somehow, they always seem to be at critical times in the game. OOGA BOOGA! Stupid dog!

The Real GOAT has died:

All-Time NFL Great Running Back Jim Brown Dead

A sad day indeed. The most dominating player I've ever seen. A no nonsense man's man that probably wouldn't play well with today's preening bunch.

Oh, and for not being here it wasn't for lack of trying. Stupid Windows 10/11 wouldn't let me in here. Some sort of dipstick unsecured certificate ban. I finally figured out the only way to get in here was to open the site up with old Windows Internet Explorer. I'm sure some others will school me as to other ways I could have gotten in here, but c'est la guerre.

I'm apologetic and quite sorry you missed me so much that it seems to have upset you. Interesting to see you cared about me and my absence to the point that you invest such a great effort in heralding my return. Very touching, I may even cry.

Welcome back, ElCapitan!  Good to see your postings.  Forget about that lonely sad-sack JumboNut.  He has no one to play with here.  Three losses to the AmazingGoBlue, his star QB leaving for greener pastures, and a pathetic bowl game (Looks like someone did not invest in that third-string QB!) has the fat turd
feeling so bad! 

I agree with your assessment of the state of college football.  I am cutting my cable connection and will no longer send a red cent to ESPN again!

And these collectives posing as non profit charities have got to be regulated and taxed. 
On a football note:  Bama s play selection with the game on the line, Harbaugh did not need to steal any signs, did he? !

Good to see you again Deej.

That last play call was the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen. The Michigan DL was stuffing everything up the middle on short yardage. Why that dumbfuck, whoever it was that made the call, did it is beyond my ken. He should be fired immediately.

Thanks Oilcan. I used to have his email address but lost it when I retired.

The profits may be in jeopardy. As far as showing up here you're right. Is that somehow important? You seem to be wanting to pick a fight. Why?

Doesn't really matter anymore.
Does not matter to you.

LOL. Yes it doesn't matter to me. Unless there is a serious effort to correct it by people in positions to make a change. It very well may dilute and even destroy the college football post-season.

And this in an opinion forum, I (or anyone for that matter)could have the same similar retort for all of your posts. Or anyone's posts. You do understand that right? "That's your opinion". A little more substance would better serve all of us here and maybe bring some people in here. In my "opinion we need to get some new blood in here. Although I admit I don't know how to accomplish that.

So peace dude.

Doesn't really matter anymore. Even with 12 teams in, there will be massive amounts of desertions of players even in the CFP. It all becomes a lie. P on the whole fake thing. I see the headline 'ESPN is upset with the Fla ST mass defections' Yeah well, you helped create the sickness take responsibility for the virus you created. Call it collage COVID.

College football is being destroyed. At least as far as the Bowl season is concerned. A sad time indeed. All you have to do is look at Ohio State's humiliating rub out last night. I can't stand this team. But even a hater like me felt sorry for them as they were humbled, brought to their knees as the new rules gutted them. As were the Beaver's of Oregon State wiped out by the Irish simply because they had a deeper and stronger team depth-wise. I felt like puking as I watched that and in fact I had to turn it off. Couldn't watch it. Made me sick to my stomach. And now I read about 2 dozen Florida State players are opting out. Such a cowardly game this has become.

I like the way you put that and it makes good sense on the surface. But it may not be quite that cut and dried.

So, I would add to it that both PSU and Ohio state faced similar competition as far as SOS. However, FSU's competition quality as compared to Alabama's was more than just 'somewhat' disparate. Florida State had the 55th hardest schedule in FBS this season, Alabama's was 5th hardest. And Florida State's opponents over all combined records are abysmal, maybe like .500 or something. Smelly. And Florida State is without their starting QB. You also feel that Georgia is going to beat Fla St "bigly". So why would they be placed in the CFP to get manhandled the same way as some of the OSU teams have or ND did against Bama some years back? Now, if FSU beats Georgia I'll be all wet and will have admit it.

Whether that changes the material conclusion of your post is up for debate. I would opine that it does and may need modification. 


Sidenote: I think I'm on record and have always opined that SOS should be the strongest category of the markers for CPF voting. Otherwise you could have a 12-0 Bowling Green in the CPF.
