College football week 15 thread: Brutus of Spanish Leather

[I Should Coco]

I like to think I am, too. I've just seen how people look for anything to complain about.
I like to look at this bracket and see that Oregon, James Madison or Texas Tech will be in the semifinals. I know Oregon isn't a newcomer to the big stage, but they've yet to win a championship so it's still somebody fresh in that spot.

Assuming the Ducks top JMU, Oregon-Texas Tech should be a great quarterfinal.

Kansas State and Iowa State skipping bowls.
$500,000 fine.

I think I'd rather pay $500 k than be sent to Shreveport or Boise or Mobile or someplace like that.

Bro in law texted and said he’ll get the game tickets if I get the plane tickets.
Seriously looking into it.
He’s got an uncle that lives a half hour from stadium, so a bottle of good whiskey covers that.

Snoop Dogg Bowl gets, uh, Dogs.

Stop it, ACC. Just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.

In their defense, they sent that out shortly after last night’s game, not after the announcement of the field. I suspect they’re quite pleased with the outcome of the selection show.
As tortured as their logic was, remember that the league office has been ripped by its members — anonymously in many cases but still damaging — with allegations of sitting on hands. This is performance art.

This says something about what money pits bowl games are for schools.

It’s fascinating. Especially the 8-4 team passing on a bowl.
That’s an awfully small price to pay. Other leagues are going to have to take notice.
But I applaud the players for doing it.

If I’m Notre Dame…..what’s the point?

A feeble attempt to prove that god might be Catholic after all instead of whatever god is on Indiana’s side?

I also wonder if any of the 5-7s will want to fill in when their players have checked out.

San Diego State-North Texas in New Mexico.

No doubt. More practices!

 

[Chef2]

Make this make sense.

The #1 team lost by 3. They dropped a spot.
The #11 team lost by 27. They dropped 3 spots.
The #9 team lost by 21. They didn’t move.

Kansas State and Iowa State skipping bowls.

For those of us old enough to remember when these were two of the crappiest teams in college football it’s amazing they would turn a bowl down

“The committee didn’t arrange things for us, as they should know we’re entitled to, so we’re staying home.”

 

[waterytart]

More seriously, doesn’t this make the portal more attractive to their players?

Sometimes I hate being right.

Church this morning. We got to the reading of the scripture. Two verses in it turned out someone forgot to silence their phone and the SportsCenter stinger alert went off right about the time they were announcing the field.

“The committee didn’t arrange things for us, as they should know we’re entitled to, so we’re staying home.”

Or, "We're Notre Dame. We don't do Pop Tarts or Duke's Mayo."

 

[DanOregon]

Imagine if the readings at church were given like SportsCenter highlights! da da duh, da da DA

lono claims to have been a member of the Church of the Exploding Hand Buzzer. Your fellow congregant might want to look into it.
