When folks were scratching their heads about Sanders essentially firing over half the team, it wasn't just that was (in many ppl's opinions) a shitty way to run a program... It was also because he wasn't going to have ANY depth anywhere.

I know he did it to make a statement (to the team and as a PR stunt), but I wonder in hindsight if he has ANY self-awareness of how foolish a move that was. I mean, I know the answer, I'm just saying.

But, Michigan…

Colorado's depth was going to be nonexistent whether or not half the team was turned over and that line of thought overlooks just how exceptionally bad that team was in 2022

You'll never guess which conference has the most teams eligible for bowls.

12 of 14! That's insane.

B1G Championship fever. Catch it!

Well that was amazing.

That's hilarious. And true.

Is that Slipknot? If so, that's perfect.

BTW, am I the only one who think it would be hilarious for Iowa, after all the crap this season, to win the B10 title by a score of like 8-6 and knock Michigan out of the playoff?

Ha, it took a second viewing for me to realize that all of the on-field highlights were punts. That's hilarious.

It's the theme they use for the anxiety scenes in "The Bear". Called the New Noise and I should look up who it is but I ain't gonna.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Fri Dec 01, 2023 10:29 am

What's wild about trying to bet the O/U on this game is that if MI gets up by 2 scores, there is a chance they just trade punts for most of the second half. They have come out of the slug fest portion of their schedule relatively healthy, and after losing their AA OL player last week, you have to wonder if they're not gonna just ice the game.

17-3 is a real possibility IMO.

I am nearly all in on Chaos Saturday. Alabama by 2 tds. Iowa wins. Texas loses by 2 tds. Oregon wins rematch. But I won't go so far as louisville winning.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Fri Dec 01, 2023 10:46 am

I think Oregon is the third best team in the country and am rooting for them to make the playoff and do damage.

(That's not the actual Iowa hype video... But it should be.)

Well, I read his post which doesn't explicitly say "this is a joke."

To many of us, Iowa's best offensive weapon being their punter is quite funny. It's also demonstrably true, so...

Ah, I assumed you were putting up the same joke post. I am kinda shocked Iowa has an official hype video (I didn't click through the tweet you posted)...

ETA - and it was actually chedda with the original tweet link on the thread...anyhoo...

Ironic that they had their strongest season in years as a whole, and now it’s over.

Gotta make way for more of those classic Big10 Iowa-Nebraska slugfests...

Watched parts of the game at the GF's holiday work party. Thought for sure it was over when Oregon took the lead. Impressive showing by the Dawgs.

I’ll never understand why a guy calls a fair catch at his own 7 yard line, when it looks like it might make the end zone.

I go to the bar down the street to watch the SEC championship only to find out CBS is blacked out on Direct tv. Should have stayed at home and watched it on YouTube TV

Anyone mention Delaware is moving to FBS is 2025 in C-USA?

Liberty likely making a NY6 Bowl is going to suck but seeing someone like tOSU run it up on them will be awesome.

I’d like to see them get pounded.
But, if transitive properties mean anything… they whipped NMSU yesterday, who whipped Auburn a couple weeks ago, who almost beat Alabama last week, who just beat Georgia…

If FSU and Michigan win the top four has to be

Michigan
Washington
Florida State
Texas

And the tears from SEC fans and Finebaum will be glorious.

Wish there was a way for Iowa to win and shut the B1G out, too. But the above would work and be just. Not sure they have the balls to do it.

The CFP fluffing the SEC and disregarding an actual head to head result would be a fitting end to the 4-team playoff.

That ought to do it. If Michigan gives up 18 points to Iowa they don’t belong in the playoff.

You know that they are going to put both Alabama and Georgia into the Final Four.

Michigan and Washington should be 1-2 in some order. After that, who the hell knows? They’re supposed to prioritize conference champions.

Brian Ferentz waited for his last game to paint his masterpiece.

Iowa has played in three B1G title games and scored a total of 16 points.

I don’t follow CFB like some of you here, so grain of salt. But Florida State got shafted. Go undefeated and win a Big 5 conference should mean you’re a top four team.
