Gonna lose my bet thanks to Ebuka's selfishness. They had ND dead and buried before he had to get fancy in an effort to pick up a few more feet. Oh well, should have cashed out.

I must have checked Gregoire's profile as she was in the process of changing it. Nice.

31-15, 4th & Goal from the 10. Freeman pulls a Narduzzi and kicks the FG and of course they miss it. I get that the probability of converting on 4th & Goal from the 10 is only like 20% but the chances of making that FG, stopping OSU, getting a TD, stopping OSU, and making a FG to win is probably 2%-3%.

Just updated

In 67 of 69 brackets. Last 9 seed is the average. However, that is more favorable than it should be because it still includes 36 brackets which haven't been updated since before the Clemson game. Of the 33 brackets that were updated after the Clemson game, Pitt is in 31. Haslam Metrics doesn't have us in but that's a computer program, not a person. Ironically, that's the 1 who had us in last year. Some Upstate South Carolina bracketologist has us as an 8. Lots of 9s and 10s. A few 11's. Beat Syr & UNC and we are in ok shape.

Harbduzzi?

What's the best salt to use that won't ruin your driveway? I hear different things on this.

I think Michigan winning it all is what won it all for Ohio State. Their big-money donors got together after that and just said, "Oh, hell no." Anyway, the semifinals viewership was down 17%, so it's tough to say people are eating this up. Maybe tonight will fare better, but it feels like this is going way too far into the new year. I wish they could wrap this thing up on New Year's Day. Is the month off still necessary?

Cant go by that. Semifinals on Jan 1 vs Semifinals on a random Thursday and then a random Friday are a massive downgrade in TV timeslot. Also, having this game on Inauguration Day wasn't the smartest of ideas. This isn't a political statement but today is a very big day regardless of which party won the election. There's tens of millions of football fans who are in Inauguration Day mode today.

The CFP NC should move to the Sunday before the Super Bowl.

I honestly think that the answer is yes. I think Buckeye fans believe that with a staff of Chip Kelly calling the offense and Jim Knowles calling the defense (two excellent--and very highly paid--coordinators), and a $20 million payroll, another coach could win the national championship without losing to Michigan.

I wonder if Ohio st. brass as well as the fans still want Ryan Day's head after their performance in the CFP? I know beating your bitter rival is huge, but, give me the college football title any Day.

There are a faction of fans who'd rather beat Michigan than win a NC. Its a small, but vocal minority. Ryan Day's job is absolutely safe.
