My guess is that Bama is 9, ND 10, BYU 11 and Texas is 12.

If Bama loses and BYU loses, Texas gets in.

If Bama wins, Texas would be out. If BYU wins Texas is out. Would really need to start looking at other scenarios with what happens in the other title games, but looking at the shifting odds, the only way it works is if Texas is 12 or so.

I will say this, the betting lines for Texas getting in MASSIVELY shifted in the last 2 hours or so in Texas' favor.

I think there is a leak in the committee/ESPN and feeding Vegas now to adjust their line.

Funny enough this could have much larger implications than just post Election Day ballots.

If they rule that election “day” is the key here then it opens up the entire potential concerns about early and mail in voting as well in the future.

If they treat Election Day as a hard cutoff, then is it also then a hard start date? If they treat mail in ballots as a post marked issue, then what is the rule about when voting can or can’t occur?

The fact that this got to the SC, regardless of the outcome, will have far reaching implications and I am somewhat shocked they agreed to take this up.

What makes this such a mess is that there isn’t a ton of real options out there and someone of going to end up over paying for a retread or a completely unproven coordinator and we get to hear all offseason fans trying to justify it.

That being said, UF fans, could I interest you in a low cost well rested Jimbo Fisher?

This is a weird game to try and figure out, beyond the trope of just 2 bad offense.

This is the 1st game of the season that Texas has Wisner (who was the SEC's returning leading rusher at the beginning of the season) available and their #2 RB back is supposed to be back as well. Also, supposedly their lone WR transfer Mosley is supposedly finally healthy and should get some reps. I wonder if he has stone hands like some of their other WRs....

UF's DL is a MASH unit and the secondary isn't that much healthier. With Gates and Johnson out and a banged up DL, does Arch have time to miss his WRs?

I think the Texas D is going to be too much for the FL and it will be a weird 17-6 type of game.

Don’t forget that someone has to be put in the slot to replace Nadler.

I am guessing that this is setting up the new wing of the democratic party vs the establishment set.

AOC vs Clinton for the NY senate seat will be a bloodbath.

This is more about forcing Hamas out of Qatar than killing Hamas as an entity.

Hamas will exist as long as the wealthy backers that want the Israeli state destroyed have safe haven in the Arab world. If they no longer can live in luxury and relative safety in Qatar and have to instead live a life of constant fear in hiding, the will of what drives Hamas will die.

The leadership of Hamas has had access to untold wealth and safety in Dhoa and as such dragging out whatever negotiations were always in their favor. Ever bomb dropped on Gaza, every death, just helped fuel their coffers and lifestyle. Why give that up, when the alternative is to make a deal and be expected to govern instead? If you can continue in your lavish lifestyle in relative safety, what motivation exists for change?

Now that idea is changed. Qatar is no longer safe and purposefully delaying to make a deal no longer has the value it did.

I think ND will run all over ND, but beyond that I got no idea.

ND D seems less impressive than expected, but also maybe I’m underselling Miami.

I think people are missing the point in that this large fines, even if not collected, are listed as outstanding and in essence then make it impossible in the future to ever return legally…

If the southern border remains air tight, then the only recourse is the actually go through the real process. Unfortunately, if you have an outstanding fine or penalty you would not be eligible to start the process….

It is just another carrot and stick concept to help once again incentivize self deportation. Leave on your own and we drop the fines, get caught and deported and those fines stay in place and so you can never return (either to try to get a work permit or tourist visa).
