You clearly didn't watch the game. ND was the one who got stopped on 4th and goal. There is no example of UNC "leaving points out there" unless you count the 2 interceptions that both happened on their side of the field.

re: How is BYU a top 10 team

To date — while nothing truly to boast about — SMU and BYU are really falling short on the impressive, “show me something” scale


BYU will probably end up with for sure 2 losses (ND and Utah), and I think another Big 12 team clips them. Their offense can’t pass the ball, they are in trouble if they ever have to play from behind.

SMU may end up with 3 losses as well, and possibly 4. I watched them against Missouri St and they looked bad.

Wisconsin may end up being better than thought. If they split USC and Iowa, then that game against Minnesota in the last week of the season might have Big10 title game implications.

Despite what the final score was I think both UNC and Clempsons both exposed weaknesses in ND and the U. They're both very beatable

Please explain what weakness UNC “exposed”? It was the best the offense has looked. Defense gave up 3 touchdowns, 2 of which were set up by broken coverage. So unless your game plan is return a kickoff for a touchdown and hope the All American level safeties play brain dead again, then not sure the “weakness” that was exposed.

re: I don’t buy the whole “24-team playoff is going to devalue the regular season” idea

They should just have a 6 game season and a 128 team playoff. At this point, why not? If its all gonna burn might as well go all the way.


FCS has done 24 teams for a while, and there are still a lot of meaningful games. I don't see why it couldn't work in FBS? I prefer 12, or really 8 is probably better, but 24 isn't crazy but for the large amount of conference games P4 teams play because conferences are too damn big.

The average FCS conference is 9.6 teams, so call it 10. Can even make that work with a 12 team schedule. 9 conference games, 1 OOC P4 game mandatory, a rent a win, and then last game is a dealers choice if you want to risk it for an extra P4 or baby cake it for an extra win.

ETA: If you've never paid attention to FCS football, like a large majority probably haven't, I can see why the idea sounds ludicrous. SLU is usually a bubble team, and there has been a lot of meaningful games late in the season, and watching other bubble teams because the results impact playoff chances.

The problem is conferences are too large. You either have to play a ton of conference games or you don't play half the teams.

If the conferences were at 9 and you played 8 conference games, 2 other P4 teams, and 2 rent a win warm up games it would be a lot more tolerable to have a 24 team playoff IMO.

STOP ADDING FACTS

She was coherent enough to choose who she participated with, set boundaries, and make decisions throughout the whole night. She wasn't some sedated barely conscience chick, she was an adult with agency.

As a former fraternity president, I probably would have told the dudes to not do a drug fueled gangbang in the house, and as a personal moral belief I think all parties involved here suck and lack morals, but there were no predators vs victim that night.

Who pressured her to brag to her roommate and later her big sister about it? Read the report of the interviews dude, she is literally telling her roommate she needs to get with the sexual freedom movement and to her big sister that she's a "slut."

Why must a gender be placed on this statement? What makes women so special we should believe them all?


I'm on your side bro, breath.

The point I was making was that something as drastic as sexual assault shouldn't be used as a weapon. It would be nice to live in a world where you could believe any victims, regardless of gender, because it wasn't a weaponized accusation. Speaking broadly, outside of teen boys from teachers, it's a safe assumption that women are the majority of victims of adult sexual assault. Also let's be honest as well, teen boys aren't making up accusations that teachers are assaulting them, so it's pretty easy to believe them still.

What pisses me off the most about this and Duke lacrosse and UVA Rolling Stone case and mattress girl and all of the other false reports is that it ruins it for all true victims. As much as it would be great to believe all women, modern feminist have weaponized sexual assault allegations.

I mean to be fair that has been the center of a lot of the drama around the show since season 22. The race factor has died down the last two seasons, despite the random attempt by Taylor to make it relevant last night, but the rigging part will be hard to dispel until they stop bringing in vets and giving them massive advantages.

I'll still watch every episode and feeds as long as Angela is never on them again.

I hate Devens but of the three he deserved to win the most.

Want to feel gutted for Drew, but the way he was so smug in his evictions even when it meant screwing over FAP he deserves all the poetic justice.

Taylor may have had the absolute biggest flop of a finale night in history. Started when she had the right answer and put it back. Her speeches were incoherent and didn’t do anything to explain her game. Pulling out the race card at the end was pathetic. If she meant that the Icons had privileges in the game, she’s right, but her phrasing was atrocious. Just flabbergasted at how she could be so bad at this.

Overall the season was okay, flashed at times, but drug toward the end. Probably like a 6.5/10.

I'll acknowledge your point, and say even if we give no weight to the legal conclusion she drew about the situation in the text message the next day or what she told the police initially about that she wasn't raped, it doesn't negate the factual statements she made to them. Changing the facts 2 years later in a civil suit is inherently suspicious.
