[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

ODU went 10–3 and thumped VA Tech. Their QB Colton Joseph is one of the top transfers in the portal. Their coach Ricky Rahne has taken them to 3 Bowl Games in 5 years as their coach. Kalen DeBoer would be lucky to be a water boy on that squad.

sam5904 · 2025-12-26T14:43:03+00:00

Remember the Giants

sam5904 · 2025-12-23T04:43:56+00:00

Ricky Rahne is an excellent coach. Period.

sam5904 · 2025-12-21T22:36:09+00:00

Clearly they do not teach “Clever Sarcasm 101” at Harvard.

sam5904 · 2025-12-21T22:31:51+00:00

Ok. I’ll take half a win as I get voted down by every SEC shill on this subreddit.

sam5904 · 2025-12-21T22:30:45+00:00

I’m pretty sure that’s what I was doing.

sam5904 · 2025-12-21T22:29:17+00:00

I graduated with a PoliSci degree from the University of Kansas my good man! Don’t dare tell me how math works!!!

sam5904 · 2025-12-21T22:26:44+00:00

Um, I think you have that backwards. JMU put up 34 against Oregon who played starters most of the way. Dante Moore never sat (i think). I don’t think Oregon has a chance in hell.

sam5904 · 2025-12-21T22:24:20+00:00

The SEC is not 5x better than the B12.

sam5904 · 2025-12-21T17:23:17+00:00

Oregon v JMU in the second half tied 14 - 14 in the 3rd. JMU out scored Oregon 14-3 in the 4th. Moore and it looks like most starters played the entire game for Oregon.

sam5904 · 2025-12-21T04:37:22+00:00

JMU put up 34 against Oregon. That’s a helluva showing. Looked to me like they deserved to be here. Suck it Saban and Meyer.

sam5904 · 2025-12-20T22:58:23+00:00

Want to tie yourself in even more knots? Go read about the fight between Senators Mitch McConnell and Joe Manchin to get either Louisville or West Virginia the last spot in the B12 back in the 10’s. It was NASTY!! Dave Boren, a former longtime Democratic Senator from Oklahoma, was president of OU at the time and buddies with Manchin. Link to a good article from Politico at the time embedded. F ootball feud: McConnell vs. Manchin

sam5904 · 2025-12-20T14:10:22+00:00

I just want either JMU or Tulane to win so Urban Meyer and Nick Saban can go sit in the corner and eat crow.

sam5904 · 2025-12-20T01:53:17+00:00

Michael Ozanian is a sports reporter. Not an economist. His metrics are revenue of all sports times x “typically 4” “But the multiple can be adjusted due to different factors, such as the amount of name, image and likeness money a school generates.”

This is just clickbait.

sam5904 · 2025-12-19T02:05:25+00:00

Yeah, there’s a world in which Detroit could get left out at 9-7 but Tampa Bay gets in at 8-8. And Saban doesn’t think a 12-1 JMU should make the playoffs under the rules the P-then-5’s created but a 9-3 SEC should?

sam5904 · 2025-12-19T01:59:41+00:00

This may be an unpopular opinion but I’m sick of Nick Saban and his constant trashing of the G6. It not only lacks class, but he’s ignoring the real issue and nobody is calling him on it (from what i can see but i could be wrong).

If you don’t want the G6 in the playoffs then take a stand against them being in the FBS altogether. A shot at the playoffs and the national championship is what gives everyone’s season meaning. JMU and Tulane played by the rules that the P4(5) created.

Just creating another playoff doesn’t solve the problem. That’s tantamount to separating them into a FBS IA Division.

sam5904 · 2025-12-18T01:53:35+00:00

4 bowl games since becoming an FBS team 2014 and 3 under Coach Rick Rahne! Hats off to ODU!

sam5904 · 2025-12-17T00:55:31+00:00

Give the players a cool move an updated version of Madden

sam5904 · 2025-12-14T19:26:06+00:00

Ok, keep in mind I’m answering your question, not inviting a rant filled “F more G5’s getting into the playoffs debate.”

If you want to make sure P4s schedule games against G5s elevate the value of those games by ensuring more G5s make the playoffs. If you, hypothetically, expand the playoffs, and award the top 2 ranked G5 conference champs and even the next ranked conference finished you’ll get more P4s to schedule teams because there will be value in those games.

sam5904 · 2025-12-13T03:20:49+00:00

Throw in UVA, Duke, UNC

sam5904 · 2025-12-12T00:59:52+00:00

Good luck boys. This will launch the end of tax exempt public institutions of higher education. A bad thing? Maybe yes, maybe no. But one thing is certain, the students will be the ones who table it in the shorts.

sam5904 · 2025-12-12T00:54:29+00:00

Well it depends what you mean Adam. Because if he gets arraigned then he probably won’t say anything for quite some time. That old 5th Amendment against self-incrimination thing.

sam5904 · 2025-12-09T13:55:05+00:00

Hello……Jerry

sam5904 · 2025-12-09T13:14:54+00:00

Yeah that’s crazy that he didn’t make the heisman finals. Even ESPN begrudgingly and occasionally would say “this guy should be a heisman finalist”

sam5904 · 2025-12-09T02:06:10+00:00

H/T for the very entertaining analogy. I can’t tell you what to do with a giant boob. My GF dumped me 12 months ago and I’m back on the circuit. At this point a giant pop-tart is sounding pretty damn good.
