@slmandel Seeds 5 and 6 (ranked 2 and 4) have an easier path to the final 4 than the 1 and 2. And they get the economic impact of an extra home game. Every bar owner in Columbus is going to be rooting for OSU to lose the Conf. Championship.

@ShehanJeyarajah But if you hire someone else, what are the odds you end up Pellini-ed and get someone who is no better or worse? I put it around 65%. So only 35% chance of improvement. Vrabel is often thrown out, but I don’t know if he would take it or necessarily get better results.

1. @RichardvReeves’ “quest to accommodate the culture’s anti-nuptial drift and build a new fatherhood norm apart from marriage is quixotic” for two reasons, as @WendyRWang Elizabeth Self & I note @Deseret: https://t.co/d0b1sDnhZc

I have decided to declare Friday, 27 October, a day of fasting, penance and prayer for #peace. I invite the various Christian confessions, members of other religious, and all who hold the cause of peace in the world at heart to participate.

@ESPN_BillC Can you explain the big discrepancy in rankings for ND and UM between SP+ and FPI?

[Phil Bak @philbak1]

I ask this with all sincerity:

What is the game plan here?

🏈 A bizarre play…
Milford waves fair catch at their own 10 and begins advancing the ball past our idle defenders and takes it in for 6. Officials conferred but did not change the call. Home crowd is not happy. It’s 7-0 Milford. Q1 3:25

@conservmillen Seems like the corollary to:

@ESPN_BillC are you going to release a Resume SP+ before the final rankings are announced?

@GE_Aerospace Come see us at #MROE to learn more about 360 Foam Wash. We are at the OC Robotics booth 412

More cleaning power starts with our 360 Foam Wash. 💦

GE’s proprietary foam detergent removes dust and dirt particles that can help restore engine performance, leading to reduced fuel consumption and improved time on wing.

@howboutthemsox @NicoleAuerbach Per #6 the 4 quarterfinal games would be at bowl sites so the only teams with the extra home game would be 5-8

[Matthew Gifford @M_Gifford]

@howboutthemsox @NicoleAuerbach Seems like a small competitive advantage to be 4th but a huge financial advantage to be 5th

[Matthew Gifford @M_Gifford]

@NicoleAuerbach Does #9 mean no reseeding after the 4-12 games? That statement seems particularly unclear. If 11 beats 6, then 11 plays 3 while 1 plays 8 or 9?
