CFB rankings are more about positioning than who is the best team

Posted by thekid on 11/4/26 at 6:09 pm

You can always tell they put teams in spots based on certain outcomes that they want to accomplish in their final poll.
Bama…way too high setting them up for a three loss entry into the playoff.
Notre Dame… way too low…one more loss and they are out. Committee is obviously not happy they are required to put Notre Dame in if top 12.

They do this every year. Setting up potential scenarios vs ranking the best teams.

Dickey’s BBQ- not only is their food crap but the family that owns them are criminals. They have screwed over100’s of franchisees… at one point they had over 500 restaurants and now estimates are less than 300…
Never eat there and please never do business with them.

Ashley furniture… their stuff is absolute garbage.

5 of top 7 lost…
I don’t think anyone is over-reacting…

Miami..I was there…got in a fight with my GF…left at half…got home and made up (if you know what I mean)… then GF caught me checking the score and that caused an even bigger fight. Bad night all around.

Romo was the worst. All he offered was weird sounds and references that flew over Nantz’s head. He did zero research, no idea what was going on…He was the only color commentator I’ve ever hated so much I’d turn the sound off..

Was in the industry for 30+ yrs and never saw something like that…of course if I did, they would be fired.
Did have a real a-hole customer run us through the ringer for an entire meal…finally got thru it and then he asked for decaf coffee…we were out so my manager gave him half coffee/half water…as the GM, I should have stopped it but I pretended not to notice and then laughed about it after.
Last thing I wanted was to talk to that a-hole again.

I agree…this season was so bad I think I’m out if they have a s5.
I was so bored with the grand fight finale…it went on forever and the girl surviving that fall was too stupid…not to mention him being cut and stabbed 25 times and then immediately getting up from the hospital bed with no bandages.

re: The SEC is still trying to find a reason to boot LSU

quote:
I’d love to see what the media contract with ABC/ESPN/Disney says about teams leaving voluntarily and getting expelled. The contract will definitely cover these contingencies and probably reduces the contract payments to the conference and schools if someone leaves or gets kicked out. LSU leaving wouldn’t void the contract (I imagine that requires multiple high level departures), but it would put a big dent in the brand and revenue for the remaining members. At the end of the day, this is a big money business. Expelling a founding member, especially one that has LSU’s level of name recognition, is bad business. Same would be true for just about any other member. Paul can fill up as much airtime as he needs to keep selling ad space, but no one is getting kicked out.

This, this, a thousand times this.
It’s a huge bluff/bs rumor. ESPN would not be ok with losing the 3-4 highest rated ( sometimes 1st) team in this deal.

No celebrating until we were in the end zone.

The attendance at the USC game is embarrassing

Posted by thekid on 8/29/26 at 3:18 pm

I know they are playing a crappy team but their stadium was not 1/2 full at kickoff…
I feel bad for their players…

Dallas kicked a FG and they were showing Seattle as they went to commercial…

Talking/laughing over each other, overly excited over nothing, spending every comment about the Seahawks, won’t even tell us what the players name involved in the play. Atrocious…

I get the loan one a lot too.
I installed active armor and it has blocked 264 calls in the last 30 days. I still get some that make it thru but where it was 8-12 a day now it’s only 2-3.

Ashley Furniture…product is crap
We bought a set of dressers for the bedroom…salesman talked my wife into buying a warranty…I couldn’t talk her out of it…
One drawer broke(won’t stay up) a month in and they refused to honor the warranty…what else can break on a dresser than a drawer? shitty company will never go back.
