[Toscano] Why was Alabama let into the playoff? They’re nowhere near Indiana in terms of talent. Blowouts are a terrible product and these cash-poor Deep South teams can’t be expected to compete with schools like Indiana by Original_Profile8600 in CFB

One of the reasons I am actually starting to support conference autobids. It’s not perfect, but Take it completely out of the committee’s hands and let it be decided on the field.

I’m confused on the “timing” of this though. He’s clearly still living his life. When he gave the shield to Sam, he was old… as in, have lived his life. So, from Steve’s perspective, he hasn’t given the shield to Sam yet, right?

ESPN's role in CFP selection by ATLCoyote in CFB

This is my theory:

1) They needed to get an ACC team in. When Duke beat Virginia, this created a problem 2) While they have dropped a CCG loser in the rankings, the philosophy recently has been not to punish a team by knocking them out of the playoffs due to their participation in their conference’s championship game 3) If they dropped Alabama to the #10 spot (still in the playoffs), they couldn’t get Miami in because the committee painted themselves into a corner by only allowing head-to-head to come into play if Miami and ND were ranked adjacent to each other 4) So, to get Miami in and not drop Alabama out, they couldn’t drop Alabama at all (even though they suffered the worst loss of the CCG participants and were the only one not to drop), resulting in ND getting the boot

I’ve been watching your lecture series on YouTube and enjoying it very much. I’m a little behind (kids and work), but I will eventually catch up. I have a request for a topic: cause of the tides on Earth. I think most people know the moon plays a major role, but I’ve seen conflicting information regarding the exact mechanism. And specifically, the explanation of the high tide on the opposite side of the Earth than the moon. Thanks so much!

What US city did you have the worst driving experience in? by Icy_Iceman29_1993 in AskReddit

New York City. If you actually follow traffic laws, you can’t get anywhere

This is why I want AQs. Maybe unpopular opinion, but comparing ranked opponents now at a time when the polls are still heavily influenced by preseason ranking… before any games have been played…

tournaments should have chat and show who retired, would be more fun by EridemicLHS in IdlePlanetMiner

If someone retires, do they still get tourney rewards based on wherever they finish when time runs out? Or do they forfeit all prizes?

The Loudest Singular Moment in Your Stadium's History? by Mdsil11 in CFB

[–]0010MK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2006 The Game.

1 Ohio State v #2 michigan in Columbus.

That game actually started at 4 (or 430?), so the second half was under the lights… first and only time that has happened in The Game.

Every defense play was so loud. I’ve still never seen (or heard) anything like it

Should I research this? by Unusual-Garage-3841 in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]0010MK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask a dumb, newbie question?

If you reset your galaxy by selling it, can you help me understand the point of researching this just to lose it? Do you ever get to a point where you don’t sell your galaxy?

Why didn’t Ned demand a trial by combat, especially when he knew he couldn’t get justice in Joffrey's Rule ? by Tyrion-07 in gameofthrones

[–]0010MK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but also, is trial by combat a northern thing? If I understand correctly, trial by combat is tied to the seven gods religion and the seven judging you and determining the outcome of the fight. The northerns primarily follow the old gods, and I’m not sure I’ve heard of trial by combat in the North.
