Best times of the year to be a sports fan.
Late Dec/Early Jan: CFB postseason and NFL Playoffs get started
Late March/April: March Madness, NBA/NHL Playoffs, Baseball begins
My personal fav
October: MLB Playoffs, NFL/CFB in full swing. NHL/NBA begins, WNBA/MLS/NASCAR Playoffs
@cfbpredictor How many simulations would Notre Dame win? I like expansion only because I want to see every “contender” with a chance but agree that 24 is ridiculous. 16 feels right because I dont like byes.
A big reason why Biathlon is my favorite Winter Olympic sport. Humiliating and adds distance to your race which means you are more tired when it’s time to shoot again.
Resume Ranking of the “at-large” teams competing for the last 2 spots
1. BYU
2. Vanderbilt
3. Alabama (H2H over Vandy)
4. Miami
5. Notre Dame
6. Texas
7. Utah
I will be rooting for BYU to win Saturday. If Notre Dame gets in over them it will be sad, but they could win it all?
This was the preseason ACC championship odds. Clemson and Miami were both top 10. They will both miss the playoffs and we’re looking at Virginia (100/1) vs Duke (30/1). Entirely possible the ACC has no representation in the playoff. Conferences have gotten too big.
@rodger I was actually thinking the same thing. When I saw Lions vs Packers I realized dang I actually have to pay attention to this game instead of just glance at the tv every once in a while
It’s so easy to disagree with a ranking list but it appears @allysosborne cooked here. What an awesome year for jerseys. Even the ones at the bottom of the list felt clean and polished.
@rodger Yea it’s confusing as heck knowing what their actual situation is but I don’t like either of the alternatives much better?
The graphic would either put Virginia just based on them having the highest odds of winning ACC title or it would just be left blank as “ACC”
@dv2cfb@KFordRatings In this hypothetical, they just ripped off three straight wins against Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, and Miami. Imagine where the would be ranked at that point going into ACC championship.
@KFordRatings How broadly are you defining at-large discussion? I think in a vaccum Indiana and TAMU could win next week and then lose out and still be “in the discussion” but the optics of crashing and burning to end the season (opposite of Notre Dame) would eliminate them both.
Isn’t it better for the consumers to pay a monthly fee for the content I want instead of paying an inflated price for channels I never watch? Why is the pressure on ESPN to change when Youtube TV can just charge people for exactly the channels they want
Reminder, ESPN launched their app, that's what they want you to use. So they go to YouTube and ask for ridiculous rise in broadcast rights which raises YT's prices. Then they post stuff like this.
People get the ESPN app, and then the price of that goes up. There's no competition when the networks are also the broadcasters/platform. All of this has become a complicated and more expensive mess for consumers.
