'Not So Fast, Pawalll! - Saint Nick. I'm sure this was much appreciated at the DeBoers Thanksgiving dinner. 😁 (Holy Iron Bowl! Sorry to mix Football with BBall, but as noted before by another, more clever OBDer, Bama is now a Basketball school and Auburn won the Maui Classic.) Does Alabama deserve a playoff spot? Nick Saban doesn't hold back WWW.YARDBARKER.COM Alabama is officially on the outside of the College Football Playoff picture after their blowout loss to Oklahoma.

B1G, FAM, USA, Duck, but Turkey for dinner + OBD! Happy T-Day + safe travels. 👍👌💕😍 Spank UW to Shreveport!

Lawsuits from 'disadvantaged players' will follow. It's Bush League, but lawyers will still be bringing the house, notwithstanding the House "settlement."

Thanks, Darren. I think Travis is legit. But with Boise now projected as the #4 seed instead of the B12 champ, how much better is the play in the B12 than in the MW? I recall CU getting schucked by the Huskers 😁 WAX UWho.

AMEN, Charles. It's the stupid format we have to deal with this and next season that is screwing up seeding and screwing up top teams from the same conference playing one another much too early in the PO. Blame Greg Sankey, the former ND AD, the former B12 Commish, and the former MW Commish. And the xxxxxxxx wh cratered the Pac-12. With a P5, the format kind of made sense. With a P4? Not. The below is over-the-top, shocking, right, but if it happens it's something B1G teams have waited decades to witness. CBS Sports analyst says Georgia, SEC are "terrified" to travel north for a CFP game DAWNOFTHEDAWG.COM The new 12-team version of the College Football Playoff is officially here, and the final CFP bracket is less than two weeks away from being revealed. This year

And the answer is - NONE OF THE ABOVE!

-19.5 is the B1Ggest spread for the Hate Week game since 2014 when the -20 Mighty Ducks won by 25 points. 😍 Hand the Huskies a B1G Beatdown!

30, speaking of lying, it was Al Davis who hired Lame Kiffin and then accused Lame of being a liar when he kicked Kiffin out of Oakland. Lame, a coaching gift that keeps on giving. 😍

An early Week 14 B1G Reveal - This Thanksgiving, it's over the Mississippi River, the Rocky Mountains, and the Golden Gate Bridge to our daughter's house we go to give thanks and chow down.😍 1. So many things to be thankful for. 1 Wonderful OBD Forum. No. 1 in the land with 0 losses after suspect Weeks Uno and Dos. WOW! 🥰 1. Missed FG. The Gumbas in Jersey are not happy over a Pisano icing a cover. 🤨 Rutgers' attempt to ice kicker backfires as Illinois hits 40-yard game-winning TD on next play - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Normally, icing the kicker is a sound strategy, but Illinois made Rutgers pay for an ill-timed timeout I hope the Schiano's left early for Thanksgiving to points unknown immediately after the icing meltdown. 😁 3. The first time in the history of the SEC conference that three ranked SEC teams lost to three unranked SEC teams on the same Saturday. 🤣 3. Before the Dixie Destruction, half the number of SEC teams Greg Sankey lobbied for to be in the Playoff. 👍👌😍 4.

I searched and I searched but I could not determine whether the Trojans made an appearance on FOX this season. USC vs. LSU? Nope - ABC USC at MICHIGAN? Nope - CBS USC vs UCLA? Nope - NBC Notre Dame at USC? Nope - CBS Ponder this. If the Warner/FOX/Disney/ABC/ESPN streaming service, Venu had been in place, would SC be B1G and would Duck be on the B1G menu? 2-1 - Ohio State's record vs Top 5 opponents in 2024. 1 - Idiot, MOI, who whined about tOSU's schedule being lightweight compared to OBD's. 😒 0-3 - Ryan Day's last three games vs. That School Up North. And also, Dan Lanning's record vs. The Other School Up North. I believe that on 11/30/24, Coaching Clearasil will erase these Zits! 👍👍👍 12 - B1G Bowl-Eligible teams with Nebraska and Coach Ruhle becoming bowl-eligible after going 0-8 in their last efforts to get to six wins, with a 44-25 beat down of the Badgers.

After the W in the (half-full 😒) Rose Bowl, it's looking SoFi(ne) for the Riley's, with a side of Gronk. 😂 22 - Years in a row that Wisconsin has gone bowling will end if Wisconsin cannot defeat the Gophers in Madison on Saturday in the Endangered Badgers Bowl. +3 - The point spread in some places for OBD vs tOSU on 12/7/24. However - Ohio State's Playoff Chances: Buckeyes A Win Away From Big Ten Title Game COLLEGEFOOTBALLNETWORK.COM The Ohio State Buckeyes dethroned the undefeated Indiana Hoosiers in Week 13.

A cover would be sweet. But now more than ever it's JUST WIN BABY! Ohio State has to win Saturday to play for a conference title. To play so Day can get off an 0-3 of his own. OBD is ticketed to Indy. Play fast + loose, and get ready to bag a B1G title as a B1G newbie. This will delight B1G fans from Jersey to Lincoln, right? 👍👌😂 0 and 3, BE GONE! I hear that Fisching in Shreveport in December is really nice. 😁

I don't believe I'd worry about tOSU being a PO lock. 3 takeaways from Ohio State’s resounding victory over Indiana SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Ohio State started off slowly but eventually put Indiana away with a dominant 3rd-quarter push for a big Week 13 win.

And then, depression descended on Dixie.😁 10 things I’m absolutely overreacting to after Week 13 in the SEC WWW.SATURDAYDOWNSOUTH.COM Just when we thought we had it figured out, 3 SEC Playoff hopefuls lost in Week 13. At least we nailed Indiana, right? On that and so much more in and around the SEC.

At least Lame Kitten no longer has to worry about playing in the SEC Champ Game, losing, and being dropped out of the Playoff. 😁 At least Memphis isn't far from Oxford and I hear the Music is good. Which is nice. 😍

Thank you, Jordan. I come in favor of burying the dirty dogs and not praising them; however, I do have to give a Hats Off to Jedd Fisch for having UWho bowl eligible after losing 40 players from a champ game roster and losing a winnable game in Seattle to Wazzu. UWho is not to be confused with Mel Gibson's Road Warrior character. the Fuskies are Oh-Four on the road in 2024. But UWho has been a tough out in the Pacific Time Zone with the loss to WSU being its only Left Coast loss. This will be a Focus Game for OBD. Hard not to look ahead at the game on 12/7, likely versus No. 2 Ohio State. TOSU has enough of an advantage with the champ game being played in the Eastern time zone. And tOSU will be playing Michigan at Noon on Saturday. Here's hoping the Ducks get a 3:30/12:30 tee time and not a 10:30/7:30 tee time. But with the 8 games in a row schedule, why not give the Ducks one fewer day to prepare before tripping to Detroit? This season to date, Mel Gibson, takes a back seat to OBD. NBC I'm certain would love to have the Domers at USC game. So, come on CBS! Game time is 4:30 Pacific, not too bad. 👍

COMMENT 13 is Over and Out. There's too much at stake. I apologize 4 my Triskaidekaphobia. But it's a League Game, Smoke. 😁

Who Knew? With yesterday's SEC debacle, Georgia, with its victory over the Mighty UMass Minute Men, clinched a spot in the SEC Champ Game! (BTW - Worst pick-up line ever? Hello there, I'm a Minute Man, can I buy you a drink? 😍)

Lucky? After playing 8 straight games vs. B1G competition and surviving late in the slate travel demands while playing two teams coming off byes in game 7 and game 8? I hope the B1G doesn't do the same to OBD in 2025. The Duck has earned the chance to doze. I can't believe the SEC is playing the same conference schedules next season with only a change in venues. Why did the Bama, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, and Mississippi State (😁) ADs go for this red carpet welcome for Texas and a tough row to hoe for the SEC Blue Bloods? And with 8 conference games, the SEC will have all of the tie-breaker worries it is having this season. You never know when an Indiana or Vandy will pop up. But IMO (beside making Notre Dame play 10 P4 games) the Power 2 should divide their conference into quads and while keeping traditional rivalries in place, make the in-conference schedules as balanced as possible. And you cannot set up B1G vs SEC games without a change in the PO format when the PO Committee ignores SOS as has been the case to date. Why is Ohio State opening against Texas next season and Michigan playing at Oklahoma? For that matter, why is OBD playing OK State and not Tulsa? Michigan wasn't punished for playing three G5 opponents OOC in 2023 and the winner of the 2024 B1G champ game with no P4 opponets OOC, will be the PO's No. 1 seed. HECK OF A FORMAT! As to physicality. If you caught any of Penn State's close escape against Minnesota, you missed as physical a game as I have watched all season. Thanks, Mike, it's always good to read and ponder your comments. FROM Stewart Mandel's wrap-up - This is the first time since 2011 that Bama has failed to score a TD 😵. Other than this Mrs. DeBoer, how did you enjoy Norman? 😍
