These are the golden years: 1. Exhausted after the kids are down 2. Playing catch as it gets dark 3. Playing Barbies with the girls 4. The endless questions 5. The “I love you” out of nowhere 6. Little feet running through the house 7. The funny prayers 8. The dance recitals 9. Toys everywhere on the floor 10. The giggles 11. The 47 bedtime requests 12. Little socks everywhere One day, I bet we’ll wish we could have just one more day like this.

Compare the #CFBPlayoff rankings from Week 11 this year (Nov. 10 rankings) to Week 11 in 2016, 2011, and 2006. "Strength of Schedule" has officially been given more weight than actually taking care of business and winning games. That is a massive problem for college football.

Two 6-3 SEC teams LSU and Missouri are ranked and neither have beaten a ranked team. Two 6-3 B10 teams Wisconsin and Illinois are both unranked, yet they each have a top 20 win.

Miami dropped 6 spots for narrowly losing by 7 points on the road to 8-1 Notre Dame without their best player. Kentucky dropped 5 spots for losing by 28 on the road to 7-2 Tennessee.

If your ranking system doesn’t directly compare two teams with the same record who played one another, then it’s clearly a flawed system.
Rece Davis asked Hunter Yurachek why Alabama was ranked so far ahead of Tennessee after being dominated by them

6-3 Louisville: • Lost to Ole Miss by 3 • Three losses by a total of 9 points • Best win: Beat 7-2 SMU 6-3 LSU: • Lost to Ole Miss by 8 • Three losses by a total of 27 points • Best win: Beat 6-3 Clemson Why is LSU ranked and Louisville isn’t?

So to confirm 2 loss Bama is. 1 spot ahead of undefeated UCLA. 2 spots ahead of 1-loss Notre Dame, who just beat the #1 team in the country. 3 spots ahead of Texas, who has the same amount of losses and way more impressive wins. 5 spots ahead of 2-loss Tennessee, who beat the shit out of them. 6 spots ahead of 1-loss defending champion Indiana, who dropped 5 spots after a bye. Sureeeeeeeeeeeee

Absolute drugs. Best win was Mississippi State without their QB. Zero ranked wins. Lost to every ranked team they played.

Last week: 5-3 South Carolina was #21. 6-2 Arizona was #22. South Carolina beat 4-5 Texas A&M by one possession at home. Arizona beat 4-5 TCU by one possession at home. 6-3 South Carolina moved UP 4 spots. 7-2 Arizona moved DOWN 1 spot. Very cool, CFP (SEC) committee!

Kamario Taylor really had us 4-0 and in the top 15 and is also single-handedly propping up Alabama to No. 3 in the country. Give that man his Heisman.
Hunter Yurachek on ESPN on Alabama: "They're No. 1 in record strength, No. 1 in schedule strength. They have four what we call quality wins because we continue to call that win against Mississippi State earlier in the year when they had Kamario Taylor on their team, they were 4-0. Alabama went there and won that game. Alabama we believe deserves to be the No. 3 team in the country."

Listen, Utah obviously has a great resume with multiple Top 15 wins and zero losses, but the key thing they’re lacking compared to #1 Georgia is a loss to an unranked SEC team.

It remains to be one of the most ridiculous things in sports that the company which has a broadcast deal with a conference also gets to create its own playoff format and pick and choose the teams it wants in that format.
The CFP and ESPN have agreed on a five-year, nearly $1.7 billion deal that will expand the field to 24 teams in 2027 with ESPN as its continued broadcast partner, sources told ESPN, a seismic move that also eliminates the lucrative Power 4 conference championship games.

They killed bowl games, regional conferences that are a reasonable size, conference championships, and a lot of the regular season value of the sport so they could shift everything to a 24 team invitational where a 3 or 4 loss team can potentially get hot at the right time and win all for the sake of the almighty dollar. The people who run this sport don’t care about anything other than money.

ESPN & the SEC are the 2 largest culprits of the growing disdain amongst college football fans. They're in bed together. Everyone knows it. And they continue to drive this thing full speed ahead to an impending brick wall.
Every single SEC team with a winning record is ranked. The Big 10 has 7 teams with a winning record unranked. The ACC has 6 teams with a winning record unranked. The Big 12 has 4 teams with a winning record unranked.
