QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 4, 2017 -> 04:56 PM) Mitt gets it. Mitt Romney‏Verified account @MittRomney 1h1 hour ago Roy Moore in the US Senate would be a stain on the GOP and on the nation. Leigh Corfman and other victims are courageous heroes. No vote, no majority is worth losing our honor, our integrity. The only issue is he is literally the opposition of the sitting president.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 4, 2017 -> 11:05 AM) I agree with you. I used to want 8, but I actually think 4 is really good and it keeps everything really exciting up until the final week of the season. The last two years selections have started to kill the conference title game. I hope something comes up that changes that because its really really exciting to win the conference IMO.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 4, 2017 -> 10:37 AM) You have an odd definition of fun. Frankly I don't think have ever been more embarrassed by our political system than I am right now. +1, its sickening. Yet we are still in line to continue to elect dirtbags.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 4, 2017 -> 10:30 AM) I'm confused by your premise, neither of those teams were put in the championship, and I'm saying if the decision for #4 will be between a OSU/Bama/USC vs. an Oklahoma State/Baylor/TCU level team...we all know who gets that slot. Ah ok, I misunderstood your premise. SOS is what doomed those teams. This year SOS didnt really matter.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 4, 2017 -> 10:12 AM) Alabama got in because they're Alabama. Period. If they were South Carolina they wouldn't get mich consideration. Their resume is hardly different than Wisconsins. Of course, thats why a team that beat them to get the SEC title game just a week before dropped below them while Bama sat at home. Now if they somehow get blown out in the playoff I'm sure the already inconsistent criteria will be changed again next year.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 4, 2017 -> 10:18 AM) Yeah, Mercer was bad. But they scheduled FSU for game one. Their schedule isn't that different than OSU's, OSU scheduled Oklahoma, Alabama scheduled FlaSt. It's just alabama knocked out FSUs QB. The others are just a quirk of conference scheduling. I'm not really going to shed tears over USC/OSU/Alabama. They all got a fair hearing. You know if one of those schools was Oklahoma St. or Washington or some level school they aren't getting this level of handwringing. TCU and Baylor got exactly this amount of handwringing in 2014 though...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 4, 2017 -> 09:58 AM) I think what it proves to me is that you should win your college football games and if you do that then you're in the playoffs and it's doing a decent job producing good games and a believable champion. If thats the case then you wont see any tough OOC games during the season anymore. And teams will just go for the easiest 12 games as possible. For example, USC plays mercer instead of Notre Dame and they are in the playoff over Bama.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Dec 4, 2017 -> 09:04 AM) You will now face the wrath of Reddy. Good luck! That would make one of his troll posts worth it for the day.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 3, 2017 -> 06:57 PM) We’ve talked before about this in here, but can anyone point me in the direction of a good sound bar? Doesn’t have to be great. Not looking to spend too much. I see some on amazon but not sure of model. Check out Woot, they have ridiculously cheap ones on there almost every day.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 4, 2017 -> 07:44 AM) Auburn is the one that had the worst luck out of everyone. They can't get in the top 4 with 3 losses, but their two regular season losses were against #1 and #17. Then they beat #3, then beat #4 and were rewarded with a re-match against #3 only 7 days later. Without the conference championship games, they seemed to be a clear top 4 team, but couldn't win again. I think the top 4 system is great. Nobody got shunned this year, OSU, Bama, and USC all had major flaws in their resume, Bama just got the luck of the draw. the 4 team system keeps the regular season exciting, but still makes sure all deserving teams get in. There some potential kick ass matchups on New Years Day. Plus, my college will never be considered for the playoff so I never have to worry about getting the short end of the stick. I think what the last 3 years proved is it needs to expand. If your criteria changes year to year its not a good system IMO. Expansion would be pretty cool, though you'd probably have to eliminate one of those OOC cupcakes to manage the schedule.

Yep. Couldn’t leave points on the field like they did if they wanted to make it a debate. Personally I think Oklahoma abs Clemson are a level above everyone else. It’s gonna be tough to stop Mayfield.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 3, 2017 -> 05:36 PM) Pretty much. People stereotyping this Bama team like pastvyears and it’s not. USC May or may not belong but in a year like this, would’ve been interesting having a west coast team. Need to expand to 8. I just wish 2015 osu would have gotten a nod like this. That team was better than 2016 and this years. Expansion would be nice. I wonder if they would then kill conference title games.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 3, 2017 -> 05:28 PM) Bama played FSU and Fresno St. If FSU wouldn't have had Francois injured for season in that game Bama's non-conference probably is stronger than OSU or USC. What the committee is really saying is don't lose by 30+ against a mediocre at best team and it's really clear the committee didn't have any respect for Pac 12 this year. Strength of schedule says otherwise. But yes. Don’t have an awful loss and if you do it better be your only one (Clemson)

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 3, 2017 -> 02:46 PM) USC should’ve gotten in over Alabama IMO. Outback Bowl dissed Michigan State and invited Michigan instead. Spartans fans on twitter complaining is fun. USC certainly has an argument. What they’ve said is don’t lose more than one game. So start scheduling Mercer

QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Dec 3, 2017 -> 04:26 PM) Agreed. Overrated program overall and especially this year. Meyer will probably eventually dump them like he did to Florida. Putting the over under at 2 years for that. Really liking Michigan and Nebraska to go on a run in the big 10. Will probably take a couple good recruiting seasons from frost. Harbaugh will get things in order by next year imo. Lol. Sizzling hot take.

Osu doesn’t deserve to be in. Period.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 2, 2017 -> 11:34 AM) I agree the debt rising is a big concern. That is what I stated earlier. That is the primary issue for tax plans. Not spending more than you generate. I also don’t agree with making it cheaper for larger corporations to do business. Your cuts should be to make small business more competitive with the low cost low margin corporations.

Cutting 400 million from Medicare and adding over 1 trillion to the debt concerns me more.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 2, 2017 -> 10:22 AM) To be honest I really dont care about making the rich richer. Ive been around enough athletes and owners to know tnat is a different world. My concern is the health of the economy of the country. Countries such as Greece and others are really struggling. Having more people employed would be a bigger concern than tax cuts in general. I don't know enough about the economics to know if this will work or not but the goal seems to be a good one. As I've said before the politics of this type makes me sick as well but something needs to be done to improve the overall economy. What’s wrong with the economy? Also athletes are not even on the same planet with the wealthy controlling this bill.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 2, 2017 -> 09:55 AM) I don't recall this type of massive tax overall ever happening, let alone repreating it over and over again. Well it’s not the largest ever. And it’s very similar to Reagan and Bush Reagan’s cuts were 2 or 3 times as large and today would add almost 7 trillion to the deficit.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Dec 2, 2017 -> 09:49 AM) How do we take advantage and get rich? Short the f*** out of bitcoin. After the trip up the gains we are going to see start moving your money into your mattress.

Everyone understands we are heading into another recession again right? I just don’t get these people.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 2, 2017 -> 08:10 AM) The silence here is because "they" have all been banned or pushed away by insults and attacks for thinking differently. Who is "they." This board has a lot of conservatives on it, however this isnt anything even remotely close to a conservative philosophy on economics. Its neither Liberal or conservative. I dont know what you call it.

No real conservative should be in favor of a bill like this.
