Penn State also just got turned down by yet another coach. Kraft/PSU money people really stepped in it on this one. Real shame.

Now that apparently Sitake is not taking Penn St their Twitter world seems to be resigning themselves to having to “settle” for Jeff Brohm. Am I the only 1 who thinks the guy they’d be “settling” for is really freaking good and they should be thrilled? 

Brohm is really good, but I’m not totally convinced PSU can get him out of UL.

For some levity ... 

After our game and postgame festivities, I switched over to the ACC title game -- just in time to see Duke win in OT. 

I guess he was being serious, but I damn near fell off my couch then watching Manny Diaz lobby for his 7-5 team to get a CFP slot. 

I get that he was just doing his job and standing up for his team, but still ...

Chaos, I was Ubering last night listening to sports talk radio for a few hours debating the ND-ALA-Miami debacle.  Duke threw a huge monkey wrench in the system last night, and I don't blame Franklin for going to the ACC to win in that league.

Interesting to see what happens amongst Miami, Notre Dame and Alabama. 

Not sure why 'Bama gets so much love for reaching the SEC title game. Sure, they got there -- but they weren't competitive. And they have three losses. However, their SOS is much higher than the other two. 

Notre Dame is hot and has won 10 in a row, but that list of 10 in a row isn't very impressive. 

Miami didn't even make its conference title game, but beat Notre Dame. 

Duke (8-5) crying for a bid is downright laughable -- although they're arguing against JMU, a G5 school.

Good news for Bama.  They’re so in.

We got an SEC showdown!  We play Bama or Oklahoma.

Oregon/Texas Tech will be a really nice game. 

[Demo 25,883]

Love it. Have watched a fair bit of OU and that’s who you want.

8/9 is Oklahoma and Bama...again

How the eff does a 3-loss team make it into the playoffs? The SEC fix is in.

[Demo 25,883]

Notre Dame didn't make the CFP

James Madison makes it over Duke for the last spot

[Magnanimous 5,592]

The Committee got it right. Need to quit the weekly shows going forward though to avoid this nonsense.

[Stuhoo 93,297]

Oregon best not be looking too far ahead.

I was really hoping for a revenge game to put belt to Notre Dame, but once that possibility was gone I wanted them out. Join a conference. Can’t wait for the Rose Bowl.
