It was 1, then 2, and now 3 in the last couple of pages of this thread. Is it really 3? Because that is actually a significant drop, in my opinion.

I think the problem with college football regarding the playoffs/championship is that there’s always like 2-5 teams that you know actually have a legitimate chance to win it all, and then a tier just below them of teams you can really only argue deserve a chance to try and fail to beat the clearly superior teams. So they keep expanding the playoffs in an effort to make it more fair for those lesser teams, but it’s still really just a race between those top couple teams. I don’t know the answer to the problem. I just know a single championship game isn’t enough, and anything more than 8 teams in the playoffs is overkill.

I’m officially off the Lions bandwagon. That defense will cost them in the playoffs.

Do you have strong feelings one way or the other about the McCaskey family? You seem to be an enigma on that subject.

Ha, not true at all, Greg. Merry Christmas, my man.

Whatever gets Detroit home field advantage.

Or they might immediately panic and shoot you.

Laws vary by state, but I doubt it’s illegal in that particular instance. Sure sounds like a good way to get shot though.

Kind of proves that it doesn’t, no? Either way, my earlier post was actually a joke in reference to a conversation happening in another Soxtalk thread.

I’m not defending it, I’m just laying out the logic. And they lost to Oregon, the clear #1, by 3 points.

I know it’s not a satisfying answer, but Boise only lost one game. Penn State’s second loss came in the Big Ten championship game.

Be fair. They’re at minimum a Conference USA team.

You seem to be getting the second part, that’s for sure. I didn’t even see the second and third touchdowns. Conked out on the couch for a nap. Ah, football season.

He is the standard by which I judge other Sox pre- and post-game announcers. He introduced me to the Sox when I first got really into the team, and nobody has stacked up since. Rest in peace.

Ha, everyone is already talking themselves into it being Brown. That’s who it’s gonna be.

I know it’s a while away, but give me a Bills-Lions Super Bowl. No matter what, a long-suffering fanbase finally gets their championship. Having said that, it’ll be Chiefs-Eagles or something.

Good call. I was thinking the Texans. Lions didn’t cross my mind.

I’m not working around the paywall, but why the hell would they mention the Bears being better than six teams, and then only mention four by name?

Took me longer than I’d like to admit to realize that Eberneezer was Eberflus.

Man, imagine being the first crappy coach to be fired in-season in the 100 year history of a team with many, many crappy coaches.

Oh absolutely.

As just a fan, the challenge seemed like the right call at the time. I’m pretty sure it showed that he was clearly in.

You joke, but that’s probably the quickest route to becoming the Director of Minor League Operations.

Please come up with nicknames more clever than Eberass and Eberloser. They don’t even flow. Maybe like Eberfool? Or Eberlose? You guys are better than this.
