@BarstoolBigCat Big cat, I regret to inform you that Nathan Peterman actually beat Penn state when he was on Pitt in 2016 and kept them out of the playoff. Therefore, this is technically Nathan peterman slander
December 2, 1990: In Buffalo, Randall Cunningham avoids a safety by ducking under Bruce Smith who was charging from behind him in the end zone, rolls out and throws it 50+ yards in the air to Fred Barnett who catches it and takes it for a 95-yd TD.
@Langbangr @PFF_Moo This is the advanced analytics community we are talking about here. This play was probably counted as a -.12 epa over expected divided by 3 for a net negative loss in theory
@NicoleAuerbach What is the criteria for the committee forgiving losses. Is this something Notre dame applied for? I wasn’t aware of how progressive they had become
@VolOrNothing You forgot to put Indiana on the list. Indiana vs Indiana on a neutral field would be a pick em but somebody would have to win. Also all these teams would beat Penn state by 2+ TDs on a neutral field. The SEC is different

@JoshPateCFB@FDSportsbook@FanDuel All this hoopla from the media just for the big reveal that fan duels predictive model projects 3 great games we rarely get to see. Oh the horror. Maybe we can substitute these for more SEC games cause they don’t already play each other and crown a champion
The trophy will ultimately be presented to Greg Sankey. ESPN will remind us all how lucky we are to be watching these teams play and we will all nod in agreement. Thank you Mr. Sankey and ESPN for all that you guys do
My updated CFP rankings heading into CFP selection and reasoning for each. This is going to offend a lot of people but facts don’t care about your feelings 🧵 -
My National champion pick - I believe Georgia and Alabama will be crowned co champions and the game will end at halftime. Kirby and Deboer will shake hands at midfield and agree no conference has as much talent and the game won’t even need to be finished.
