I would argue rewarding a team with losses to Louisville and SMU sends a much louder message that the games don't matter. Why play the games if you can lose two bad ones and still be fine?

I think if Miami was so vastly superior to everyone else in the ACC it wouldn't have ended up in a five-way tie for second place.

Kicking a field goal on fourth-and-goal from the 3 down by seven with eight minutes left against your rival should be an automatic loss, what are we doing here northwestern

shhhh don't spook it

arms are massive, no shot it wouldn't have a few batted balls.

dread it. run from it. snowman arrives all the same.

It's with great regret I must concede rivalry week kinda flopped this year. OSU blew out Michigan, Iron Bowl is teetering after 19 minutes, Egg Bowl was never really in the balance, offenses disappeared in Atlanta, Territorial Cup was a slog. Regression from all the close games and fights last year.

Northwestern-Illinois in a blizzard with fans only allowed to sit on one side of the stadium is everything that works about rivalry week. Hang it in the Louvre.

"Night Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare" feels like a very special vortex of chaos. No telling what horrors are behind this door.

10-2 Vandy with an explosive offensive getting left out of the CFP while 10-2 OU off the back of consecutive slogs gets in will suck to watch, but will be the right decision based on the resumes.

Nah.

Washington? Maybe?

John Mateer hasn't been good for about a month now but man he looks non-functional. All three INTs have been brutal.
