IMO the first half of Horse Feathers is the funniest work of the Marx Brothers.

fwiw Huxley versus Faber would be a classic game.
I opt for Duck Soup myself, though Horsefeathers has my favorite Marxist aphorism: "You're a disgrace to our family name of Wagstaff... If such a thing is possible."

I think Duck Soup was their best movie, and is my favroite, but IMO the first half of HF was their funniest (LOL) work.

And Huxley versus Freedonia A&M would also be a helluva game.

Ba k in the day, when I was resident of NE Buckeye State, I used to drive by SUNY Fredonia with some frequency. And could never do so without mentally singing Hail Freedonia.

True interesting fact: Saturday's win over Maryland was Michigan State's 700th win. Alabama's win over LSU was Alabama's 900th win. Making us a precisely calculated 7/9th as good as Alabama.

I've seen OSU's defense. Your guys have a definite shot.

So how many teams control their own destiny for the Football Four?

I'm thinking five, looking at what the Committee seems to be indicating. Maybe six.

Despite being 4, I do not think Meatchicken controls its destiny. A once beaten Alabama might stay above.them and a one loss God's Conference Champ Georgia leapfrog them.

Good point, I hadn't considered Bama losing.

Disagree.
If Michigan and Notre Dame win out (Clemson,too)then neither a one loss Alabama or a one loss Georgia can’t be ranked ahead of Michigan.

This is the same point I made last week.  I don't think I said they "can't be" because I don't have a lot of faith in the committee.   If they put in a one loss non conference champ before a one loss power five conference champion (Michigan), I suspect the committee would lose support from at least 3 of the 5 conferences.

I guess they will get crap either way and I'm sure they are praying Alabama does not lose before the title game so they don't have to face that choice.
