  1. PSA. Keep in mind that most hotels in State College are already sold out for that weekend. Altoona might be the closest place to get a hotel room at a reasonable price.

     

    Pittsburgh is 2.5 hours and Philadelphia is 3 hours depending on where you fly into. A day trip from those two cities might be an option. 
     

    I will be driving up to northern MD Friday to stay the night and then driving in on the day of the game.

    Or should we work with the Jordan team to come out in these beauty's in the Rose Bowl?

     

    Ohio State's hearts would sink and they would lose the game before the opening kick...

    Time to break out the Webfoots jerseys to go with those helmets and pants.

  3. This game has been a fecal extravaganza from the start. It should be called the Lack of Focus Bowl. Seven penalties in the first quarter, two dropped passes that would’ve put BYU in scoring position, an onside kick recovery where Colorado was caught sleeping, a dumb trick play that led to an interception, and a mad scramble by Shedeur that took his team out of decent FG range.

    And likely will not be there until a 3rd Natty, if then? 

     

    The 1st is a Fluke. The 2nd, It's easy to get lucky twice. The 3rd. Perhaps these Sucks don't Ducks? 

     

    OBD is in a Galaxy far, far away from Bristol, CT. 

     

    FRACK ESPN, tOSU, and FEBU to All!

    Not likely. 1-3 and beyond would be”bought and paid for with Uncle Phil’s money”.

  5. There is a myth being perpetuated by ESPN and their gang of mouth breathers that the CFP should have the “12 best teams” competing for the championship. That’s very unlikely to happen because of the automatic bids for conference champions. There are a couple of things that have come out of the chief mouth breather, Kirk Herbstreit’s, pie hole that I would like to counter.

     

    Best vs. Most Deserving:

    He said this in reference to Indiana and SMU after their playoff performances. It’s not about who is best or more deserving. It’s about who “earned” their way in through their 12 game regular season performance. The three 3-loss teams that Herbie was honking for didn’t earn their way into the playoffs.

     

    Ranked Wins:

    Whenever I hear this I like to counter with the term “unranked losses”. These are obviously losses against unranked teams. Bama had two unranked losses and Ole Miss had three. A few playoff teams had one unranked loss (Tenn, Clemson, OSU and ND). The only way to overcome multiple unranked losses is to win your conference which is what Arizona State did.

     

    Who you beat is more important than number of wins:

    This was probably Herbstreit’s most idiotic comment. By his logic, NIU, Michigan and every mid-tier SEC team should be in the playoff. This is proof that lobotomies should be considered for SEC bias.
     

    I agree that the SEC is a very tough conference, but so is the NFC East (historically) in the NFL. I don’t see them getting the benefit of the doubt for beating up on each other. If the SEC teams feel like they should get special consideration because their conference is too hard then they should find another conference to play in. I know of one on the West Coast that has a few openings.
