BREAKING VIDEO: Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to win a regular marathon in under two hours, setting a new world record at the London Marathon in 1:59:30!

Kenyans invented running™

@Snarkisian @TheLandoShow @secnumbersguy @MichaelWBratton @kyleumlang @CFBPlayoff @CFBHeather @JoshPateCFB @JoelKlattShow @CoachSark @BFW Why not take the easier comparison of Vandy?

One went 10-2 with a cupcake OOC win
One went 9-3 with an Elite OOC loss

[Nick McCaskill @N1ckMac]

@HornSports @_delconte Be serious. 10-2 doesn’t guarantee you a spot. If A&M & OU had mediocre seasons as initially expected, then a 10-2 texas would probably be left out. See Vandy at 10-2 praying for a spot. But you wanna swap fun games for cupcakes, go ahead.

[Nick McCaskill @N1ckMac]

@EricNahlin Sounds like you should’ve scheduled Rice then?

Reality is you never know if the big matchups are worth it until the szn plays out. If A&M & OU had mediocre seasons as initially expected, then a 10-2 texas would probably be left out. See Vandy at 10-2 praying for a spot

[Nick McCaskill @N1ckMac]

@ChrisGordy Vandy scheduled a cupcake, has a chance to go 10-2 and would still be praying they get in.

If A&M / OU had the mediocre szns people expected, then an OSU win would be the only thing to guarantee their spot.

IMO hard to say if big matchups are worth it until the szn plays out

[Nick McCaskill @N1ckMac]

@EmmanuelAcho @TexasFootball So scheduling big non-cons should be risk free? Casual take

If A&M & OU had the mediocre szns people initially expected, then a strong non-con win would be the only thing to guarantee texas a spot.

See Vandy. If they go 10-2, they're still likely to be left out

[Nick McCaskill @N1ckMac]

@CFBNerds Counter ex - A&M started with a top 10 SOS that weakened as several teams underperformed. If we ended with 2 SEC losses then a ND win would be the only thing keeping us in the conversation.

IMO hard to say if big matchups are worth it until the szn plays out

@KFordRatings My case for LSU behind Bama & A&M (based on rankings at the time)

[Alex Miller @AlexMill20]

Kyle Field videoboards just zoomed in on Missouri QB Brady Cook with his quote earlier this week after back to back false starts on third down:

[SEC Network @SECNetwork]

DOWN GOES NO. 2 BAMA!

@aggiembk is undefeated vs. AP-ranked teams this season 👍

snape at the monthly hogwarts staff meeting:

[College Football Nerds @CFBNerds]

FSU punts up 7 with 2:15 left.
LSU muffs the punt to FSU.
FSU fumbles on the 1 with 1:25 left.
LSU drives 99 yards in 1:24
LSU scores with 1 second left.
FSU blocks the XP to win.

I love college football.
