I thought this was a clip from today's show, thinking that Josh saw Bailey last night.

But no, it's a video from a week ago.

Exactly, expansion is a good thing imo.

ND like OSU wouldn’t have been in without it.

It’s big enough to make sure all the teams with realistic chances to win it all are in. It also gives opportunities to lower status and outside the box teams to reach some good achievements as well.

Let it be determined on the field, not hypotheticals.

The most successful team “on the field” for this whole season/post season up to this point can’t win the CFP.

Goes back to the old thought about he meaningfulness of regular season. The next expansion will knock it down even further.

It is what it is, but whoever ends up winning the CFP this year will have had a great run, but not a great season.

And not a word about the players who just stood there and did nothing. She did an excellent job singing the national anthem and didn't need to salute at all.

I’m fine with how it is playing out. Will be very difficult for 2 or 3 programs to dominate the sport going forward. The increasing distribution of talent will help the overall competitiveness of many schools which is good for the sport. Having said that, it is still clear that the established , traditional powers will still have the advantage as the final four indicates.

Sure there are still only a certain number of realistic schools that can win it all but that pool has gotten wider.

Washington made the champ game after a generation being nowhere and beat Texas to get there. Same for Michigan who won it all after a generation. Think about how ND has had its rear handed to it the other times it’s been in the playoffs. That certainly wasn’t the case yesterday against UGA.

Think about how not that long ago everyone was sick of seeing Alabama, Clemson and OU over and over in the playoffs. None of them are there now. Two didn’t even make the playoffs and one barely did.

So at the top, there’s more competition and from the bottom there’s potential to do a little damage here and there even if not win the whole thing.

Forgot about Ewin, figures he is the portal guy I was wrong about. Seems to be playing well, I didn't expect much.

That's embarrassing

Ogbole was 0-0

Exclude him and the sentiment doesn’t change. But You’re right. Guy couldn’t miss last night!

They had the surgery, if I understand correctly multiple surgeons did multiple surgeries at once, instead of doing them individually over several days. No real update other than the family is very satisfied with the doctors plans and how they are including them in team decisions and giving them full information.

She is in it for the long haul but she is very tough and has a great support foundation.

Thank you

Hoping this all works out.

...but my absolute favorite is one that didn't go so well that I only saw on TV, let's all try to be like Maurice Cheeks.

I've never seen that before. Cheeks was always a class act. Thanks for sharing! I now hope to think of that version instead of this one when I hear someone have trouble with the national anthem.

Who is the best foul shooter if Harper isn't available? Honest question, I'm trying to think, I'm guessing Hayes? Was he in the game?

I probably would put Derkack up there

For the conference championships, if you're the home team and you win, they do. They hand out the George Halas Trohphy to the NFC Champs and the Lamar Hunt Trophy to the AFC Champs.

Should the playoff bowls continue with this practice? That's up to them. It does seem a bit cheesy, but this is the inaugural year of play-ins and quarterfinals, so I'm guessing they are still testing the waters.

It’s just ceremony and a little pomp. It is strange but in the scheme of things it’s not a big deal.

The only change I could see would be moving the quarterfinals to home games just like the first round. I’m not sure it’ll happen though because I think the powers that be like the bowls involvement.

Just listened to the podcast and Richie was 💯 pct correct and actually pretty kind towards the coaching staff. I’m sure he’s thinking what we all are, however.

Where are you getting this from? The talent is more concentrated than ever.

Click to expand...

It’s the exact opposite. I’m not sure what you’re seeing in CFB. Talent is spread out more than ever. Did UGA just have a quality qb sitting on the bench when Beck went down? No. That’s the same for many schools including top brands.

On the other hand, IU got a capable qb, so did Vandy and so did ASU.

Smart himself has said it’s become more even because talent at the most important position, qb, is spread out more than ever. But it really goes for all positions. Many players don’t want to sit at all and certainly not long. So they will move around to where they have opportunities to play and so the talent is spread around. Now with schools paying players it might spread even a little more. It won’t just be a playing time lure but also maybe a little extra money in addition.

I’ve been saying it for awhile here but see all the articles I posted above from USA Today, SI etc…they reference the same thing going on in CFB.

how is Darius Rucker not in the hall of fame?
