I think Purdue-UConn would/will beat Iowa-South Carolina. I’m not sure about Purdue-Bama or UConn-NC State. I think Iowa-South Carolina would beat Bama-NC State, which it’s kind of unfathomable as of as recently as 13 months ago that that’s even remotely plausible....

Nantz and Eagle are both very good and professional, but neither shines when it comes to buzzer beaters, late-game craziness, etc. Harlan’s voice was made for the chaos of March. Wish he would’ve been chosen instead of Eagle to replace Nantz on CBS’s #1 cbb team....

[quote] He’ll do ok the first 7/8 games until NFL teams get film. Then he’ll decline as they will take away his scrambles and force him to pass which will lead to errors. His instinct is to run with any pressure. In NFL qbs always get pressure often, so thats where he’ll have to change his instinct....

[quote]I thought the Chiefs’ punter did a hell of a job in the playoffs[/quote] Townsend was First Team All Pro last season. He’s a very good - great punter. But they probably think they can get similar results with Araiza (and/or perhaps their analytics team/front office doesn’t see much marg...

Seems more like gamesmanship by all three more than anything to me (and I don’t think Tucker is completely innocent either in this). Definitely beyond just “messing” but I also doubt any of the three would say it’s a very big deal or be extremely offended either....

This is why I think it’ll be Norvell. First, he has a pretty low buyout, especially compared to Lanning. But more importantly, I’m not sure if the market is as available to Alabama as many might think, because the pressure/expectations of directly following Saban are going to be astronomical. Heaven...

Whether fair or not, it feels a bit like he’s playing for his job Sunday. If he replicates his performance from this past week, I think he’s back and they try to get the Pats/Commanders in a bidding war and take MHJ at 2/3. If his performance is closer to the Cleveland game, I think they move on....

[quote] It’s March Madness then whatever you want to put at a DISTANT 2nd.[/quote] March Madness is one of the worst ways to crown the best team as champion (which is different than “most entertaining.”) Only MLB (new format) is definitely worse, and possibly NHL....

[quote]Maryland at 7-5 is probably more likely. Can't see the bowl folks in Tampa wanting a 6-6 Wisconsin. Northwestern is another option at 7-5. Maryland hasn't ever been there. Big 10 is big on this if possible.[/quote] Wisconsin is also 7-5 but I think Maryland’s program might be more excite...

Wont be LSU-ND. Because the Orange is an SEC spot instead of B1G (this was unexpected prior to Bama’s upset over UGA), the Reliaquest is B1G instead of ACC....
