Really? No comment on whether there’s any concern about how the SoS will prepare UM for the playoff and instead nitpicking whether Maryland is a quality offense or not. I’m not really interested in debating the merits of Maryland. The point is the same if I change my OP to say 2 quality teams offenses instead of 1.

The schedule has done its job to put Michigan in position to make the playoff. Will that same schedule hurt them once they get there? They have played one quality team and only one quality offense. They have a good, talented team but it’s hard to tell what’s likely to happen when they get into it with another really good team.

This Packers team is reeling. 4 straight losses. Down most of their WR room. Rodgers hasn’t gone over 255 yards all season. This should be a Lions win that includes points in the 2nd half. It’s not like Aaron Rodgers is just going to magically turn it on against the Lions and steal a victory out of nowhere… Packers 24 Lions 23

The freshman comes in for Clemson to save the season and promptly throws a dumb interception deep in his own territory.

Nice half by Schiano and Sue’s cousin. Michigan will wake up and win by more than 6.5 points.

ND handed it to Clemson in the 1st half.

They are still without the most explosive player in the county. They are going to be scary on offense if they get Smith-Njigba back to go with Harrison and Egbuka.

I don’t get Northwestern. They care enough to stay in the B1G even though they’d probably dominate in most sports if they moved to a lower conference. At the same time, they don’t care enough to have any accountability for Pat Fitzgerald and have essentially given him a job for life. Same for Chris Collins on the basketball side.

I don’t expect NW to continue to play mistake free football. I’ve got OSU 28-7final

It’ I just fired on OSU -13.5.

I should’ve listed Bama in my list of teams they believe in more than I do. I think Saban loses at least once more but at the same time wouldn’t be shocked to see them clean it up and finish up looking like a contender. How Oregon finishes will play a big role in this thing too. If they run the table, it will make it really hard to leave out a 1 loss Georgia who curbstomped them.

3 guys on ESPN Gameday just said Georgia is out if they lose today. No way. They would need help but are very much still in the mix even with a loss. These guys believe more in TCU and Clemson than I do.

I’d guess Georgia. Their schedule the rest of the way seems light. If they lose today, they will probably end with just that loss and still make it. It may be an easier road to the playoff for the Dawgs with a loss today since they’d miss the SEC champ. Tennessee is new I this role and has a tougher schedule. Two factors that make them seem more likely to possibly lose again after today and be eliminated with 2 losses. A blowout either way will help though.

There is a perfect solution for the many the appreciate the mastery of Dylan’s songwriting and composition but can’t get over the vocal. Grateful Dead There are at least 30 Dylan covers that became a regular part of the live setlist for either GD or Jerry Band. Jerry and Bob’s voices work so well with these songs like Tangled Up in Blue, When I Paint My Masterpiece, Queen Jane Approximately, Memphis Blues Again, and It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue.

I’m going to be pissed if Netflix pulls Uncle Drew.

I can’t tell if Brad is emphasizing he didn’t care about trading within the division or that he was going to move Hock regardless to not fitting their long term plans. I sense a little vibe that the organization felt the individual and his commitment were also a little underwhelming to their expectations

Quite possible. I wonder if Georgia was the #1 team, does the bias of not wanting a repeat of last years game hurt UM’s chances.

Interesting to wonder how a 1 loss Michigan or Ohio St. would match up among possible 1 loss Pac-12 teams: USC will not go undefeated the rest of the way. The combination of terrible defense (it is still a Lincoln Riley team) and Pac-12 officiating will trip them up at least once. If by some miracle they win out, they may be the biggest contender with the only blemish a 1 point loss at Utah in a game they didn’t have Jordan Addison for most of the crucial 2nd half. UCLA would be right there too but would probably need Oregon to beat Utah to qualify for the P12 championship. They would have avenged their only loss at Oregon by 15 in the championship game. They do have that ugly win against South Alabama by a single point that could be the difference in a close battle. Oregon would end up with a great resume and very strong SoS overall. There will be some very big wins in there especially down the stretch but I’m not sure if they can make up for 49-3 loss to Georgia to open the season. Would probably come down to how close the UM/OSU game ended. Utah is already out with 2 losses but they are the best friend of UM and OSU and can easily ruin some and possibly all of the above scenarios.

Last week I thought a UM win over a 1 loss Illinois team would get them in even with an OSU loss but that doesn’t appear to be so without a ton of help. Clemson and TCU would need to lose and Oregon or Utah would have to be the team to come out of the Pac. I could see UM being the 4th in that scenario if they lost to OSU.

Looking like 2 SEC teams, Winner of B1G, and either Clemson or P12 Champ or TCU

Furman is ranked high in FCS. They are better than Colorado St. and Hawaii.

I’d give us C+ and the Vikes a B+ The Vikes were able to get a quality TE to replace their inured quality TE without having to give up any draft picks. That’s a nice move for them. We were able to get something for a slightly above average player who was going to see his salary rise by $9M next year before wanting a long term deal worth much more. We were also able to improve draft position.

We have no idea. I took this to mean that depending on the condition, we either throw in an extra 4th or we don’t. Unknown at this point if that is correct or not.
