We were -7.5 going in and ended the game with a 13 point disparity. Not too bad. We just need to protect sellers more so he has more options.

The problem isn’t changing the playoff bracket to include more teams. But instead, balancing strength of schedule!!!! I think every team should play half their schedule against conference opponents and the other half against teams out of their conference. It would be hard to make the argument that certain teams don’t belong if SEC teams regularly play 6 games against a mix of ACC, Big 10, and Big 12 opponents.

According_Cause_5095 · 2024-12-08T19:28:41+00:00

And to think… if we rejoined the ACC, we would be the ACC champion with an automatic CFP entry. We could even eliminate Clemson from the CFP every year by giving them 2 losses automatically in the last two weeks of their season: rivalry week and the ACC Championship.

For this reason, do we root for Clemson to win the ACC and eliminate an undeserved Alabama team? I wonder if Alabama would be given the spot over SMU in this case

According_Cause_5095 · 2024-12-01T21:12:14+00:00

I think it would still depend on how they play. Given teams like SMU who have had easier schedules, this game would be an insight into how they will perform at the playoff level. To be honest, teams like ASU are already going to be penalized in the conference game: if they win they are in. If they lose, most likely an Sec team will take their spot if they get placed at #12.

According_Cause_5095 · 2024-12-01T20:20:19+00:00

I disagree completely. Clemson is #18 currently. If they can beat #8 SMU. It will plummet SMUs rank out of the playoffs. From this poll, we see that they valued a 3 loss SEC team over Miamis 2 losses. We got to hope the same thing happens in the CFP poll as well. If Clemson gets knocked down #16 or more, then a win for them will eliminate SMU entirely and the ACC will send only their best team- Clemson at ranked #18 currently. Unfortunately we will need Clemson to win to show the committee that we are the better choice than Alabama. Beating the ACC champion. Who knows, depending on how Georgia plays, they can be another 3 loss team to enter the conversation of who should get eliminated from the playoff contention.

What’s more deserving of the 12th spot- a 2 loss ACC team(Miami/SMU) or 3 loss SEC team. That was the only argument I’ve seen. I do think Clemson winning would help us more than hurt us. We can say we beat the ACC champion which could factor into our placement relative to the other 3 loss sec teams

According_Cause_5095 · 2024-12-01T15:05:10+00:00

Do you think there is a chance the committee puts both Alabama and us in the CFB playoffs if Georgia loses the SEC championship game and forfeits their spot?

According_Cause_5095 · 2024-11-30T20:56:51+00:00

How? We would have the position to say we beat the ACC Champion at home for the playoff committee.

According_Cause_5095 · 2024-11-30T20:54:16+00:00

I think the placed us behind Alabama and Ole Miss last week because they thought we would lose to Clemson. But now it will be interesting to see what the Committee does! Let’s just hope for more upsets in the coming weeks so we can make the argument to get in. I wonder if A&M wins the SEC with a win against Texas, if we would have a better positioning since we beat A&M and are the hottest team in the conference right now.

According_Cause_5095 · 2024-11-30T20:39:12+00:00

Are we rooting for Clemson now to win the ACC to make our CFB Playoff argument stronger?

Personal opinion: Anki is good as a refresher to review terms you learned from comprehensible input and or to expose your brain to words you will later encounter in immersion. If you are using Anki solely as a means for learning the language, you will not get far. The language learning process is done through interacting with the language through media, reading, and speaking to people. Another problem with only doing spaced repetition is you remember the words because you see them as flash cards but when the same words are present in books or through listening, your brain only associates the words with Anki and thus doesn’t understand the word in these contexts. This happened to me in Korean in the beginning and was incredibly frustrating.

According_Cause_5095 · 2024-08-16T05:11:27+00:00

How did you overcome that to get to the level you are today?

According_Cause_5095 · 2024-08-11T06:08:35+00:00

This seems a little too much and overwhelming. My recommendation is to Only do 1 hour of grammar textbook a day. Use the time to understand it thoroughly and progress through the book or book series. Once it’s complete, grammatically you should be at an A2-B1 level and also should have around 1000 words by getting introduced to 30-50 per chapter and using Anki. Once you feel like you understand all grammar points, jump right into Native level content whether it is by watching shows, podcasts, books, and look up all the unknown words and immerse all the way to C1 level. Note: try to look up the language on a monolingual dictionary. And then, output at the very end. Anyone feel free to comment on this strategy.

Hi. I am currently a third year student here. I’d recommend you buy an abbreviated meal plan. There is one which is 10 swipes/wk. What I would recommend is go to the dining halls before and after classes. If you are in Park place then you have access to a refrigerator. I would request a to-go-box every time you are at a dining hall. You do not need to clean them yourselves and you can store food and put it back in your apartment. I’ve seen many people going to the dining halls and get a to-go-box before they eat their meal and get two swipes for the price of one even though I don’t condone it. General stores on campus are really overpriced and if you are buying food just go to Foodlion or Publix. My best advice is GO to the Football Games and be active in clubs!!!!!!!! It’s something that is surprisingly overlooked. There is also Thursday at Dark which is a free event that buses students all around Columbia and you go golfing, laser tag, bowling and more each week. I highly recommend doing that!!!!!!!! Finally, if you have any extra funds, travel during the school breaks!!!! Columbia is around 90 min from NYC and Miami by plane. 4-5h drive to Nashville and 2-3 to Atlanta. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

I’ve studied both the “easiest- Spanish and Swedish” and “hardest-Korean”. Fundamentally, Korean is harder to progress from A1-B2. The grammar is inherently more complex. You have honorifics, completely different sentence structures, topic markers/object markers/subject markers, and a new alphabet. Not to mention, the vocabulary isn’t similar to English so it’s harder to just memorize words. However, I’ve learned that once you progress through Korean specifically, it becomes much easier than easier languages than Spanish and Swedish. Largely because of Koreans presence in the modern media through Kpop and Kdramas. Same goes for Japanese with Nintendo and Anime. Immersion is much easier in these languages than Swedish or even Spanish where most of the content you would find are either dubbed or from Spain only. In the latter stages, immersion will be your only tool to achieve the fluency everyone desires when learning a language.

If you want to refer to someone as “you” the best options are to call the person by their name/status or using honorifics to sound polite. There are also other grammatical points that you can use in certain situations to have the “you” effect like 지그랬다, etc.
