If you're going to penalize a 1-loss Power Conference team for a weak strength of schedule... BYU's SOS is better than Ole Miss and Notre Dame.

If you're going to penalize a team for not having the strongest power ratings (which incorporate prior year's history and recruiting rankings)... BYU's FPI is higher than Oklahoma's.

If you're going to penalize a team for a non-competitive / bad loss... Alabama lost by 14 to a team with a losing record and Miami lost to two unranked teams.

If you're going to use strength-of-record like you indicated you would, BYU's SOR is the second highest of teams 6-12.

BYU also (1) made its conference championship game and (2) if you sum up the wins of the teams it has beaten, it is THIRD in the country. It is hard to win games and BYU has beaten a lot of teams with a lot of wins.

This. Makes. No. Sense.

The @CFBPlayoff should be ashamed of itself. It has literally contorted itself into a pretzel to avoid putting BYU where it should be ranked (somewhere between 6th - 9th).

RT to get the info out there. They need to feel pressure.

@cityofwaco @USACEHQ Curious - how often do you clear the logjam that sits at the top?

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

Stop shopping for the perfect church.

Instead, get plugged into a congregation that is worshipping a perfect God.

It's guaranteed to be full of imperfect people that need as much grace as you do!

Let’s go Sonday’s Camp!! There’s a celebration in heaven!

Food for Thought

That’s Clay in the middle seat. His girlfriend, Isyss, is next to him. (That’s me in the aisle, enjoying all the luxury Southwest has to offer.)

Clay and Isyss were in the audience yesterday, when I dragged 3,500 Jersey Mike’s employees through the sewer, to make a few larger points about the value of work ethic, especially when combined with an entrepreneurial spirit.

“We really enjoyed your story,” said Clay. “It was gross, but funny, and gave all of us GM’s food for thought.”
“GM?” I said. “You’re a general manager?”
“Yeah.”
“How old are you?”
“I’m 20,” said Clay.
“Where’s your store?” I asked.
“Attleboro,” he said.
“Outside of Boston?”
“That’s the one,” he said.
Long story short, Clay started making subs when he was 16. Got promoted to Shift Leader. Got promoted again to assistant manager. And then, 8 months ago, Clay got promoted to General Manager. He now supervises 22 people, and oversees all aspects of the operation.
“Is there a path to six-figures,” I asked.
“Oh yeah,” said Clay. “I’m on it. With profit sharing, it’s easy.”
“What’s next?”
“Probably a franchisee,” he said.
“By when?” I asked.
“Next couple years,” he said. “Before I’m 25. God willing.”
“And what about Isyss,” I asked.
“High school sweetheart,” said Clay. “So far so good. It was great to have her here with me.”
I signed a barf bag for Clay and Isyss , and was about to grab a quick nap when a woman came down the aisle on her way to the can.
“Mike Rowe!! I saw you at the conference yesterday! You were fantastic!”
I blushed and quickly learned that Lorraine is the first black woman to run a Jersey Mike’s franchise.
“Where?” I asked.
“Laurel Maryland,” she said. “You gotta stop by the store!”
“Ok.”
“And you gotta meet my son, Patrick! He works with me, and he’s the best!”
“Ok,” I promise. “I’ll see you went we get off the plane.”

I signed another barf bag for Lorraine and her son, as we began our descent into Baltimore, where I’ll be hosting a fundraiser for mikeroweWORKS all day tomorrow. (More info on that here. A few tickets still available.) https://t.co/rOfbq9aFtp...

As I tore into my second bag of pretzels, I thought about the so-called "vanishment of the American Dream," and the supposed lack of opportunity in our country. And then I thought about Clay and Lorraine, who simply don’t buy into that nonsense. Regular people who work hard every day, climb the ladder of success, and make a great living, feeding a hungry nation.

Food for thought...
