Texas Tech in 60 minutes and 62 offensive plays against Oregon: 0

Serious question: what is the more disrespectful thing Indiana can do to Alabama at this point: run up the score or bench all the starters with close to an entire quarter left? Bigger margin seems worse, but saying “we only need 3 quarters with our starters and let them rest” is also devastating

Oh yeah like I’m waiting all the way until January 12, please
Jan 1: this is the year of new Me
Jan 12: [eating shredded cheese directly from the bag] new years resolutions are a bourgeois construct for disciplining bodies into productive units for capital

Thank god for college football, which has allowed for the Pop Tarts Bowl where it is a completely legitimate thing to say “Team Sprinkles, it’s time to meet your maker in Mouth Heaven” on national television
Thank god for college football, which can simultaneously give us corporate sponsorships such as The Avocados from Mexico halftime show, The Dos Equis “Go for Dos” 2-point conversion attempt, and The Taco Bell “Live Más” Student Section. Truly the stupidest, and thus most amazing sport of all.

In the column of purely moral victories, James Madison did score more points against Oregon than any other team did this season, including Indiana!

I choose to believe in Tulane despite how this game has begun because of this

A beautiful Sport™️
One game ago, A&M was undefeated with the ball and the lead in the second half, on the brink of beating their worst enemy for the first time since 2010, reaching a conference title game for the first time since 1998, and getting a top-two seed with a bye. Now they’re the maddest people on earth

The A&M-Miami game is absolute garbage and yet somehow has 15 more rushing yards in 32 less attempts in just under one half than the entirety of the Oklahoma-Alabama game last night

It’s almost as if Alabama should not have been put into the CFP!

I don’t think Notre Dame should have been in, but the way the process played out to exclude them is borderline traumatic for them and that is terrible.

The things that needed to happen (BYU loses, Alabama loses big) have happened. If Ohio State beats Indiana (especially if by 8+) the debate for the final spot should* be between Texas and ND (and Texas has a pretty strong case to jump ND if they’re being compared H2H).
*-should ≠ actually will be
*-should ≠ actually will be
1/ Granted I’m a Texas partisan, but here’s my case for Texas being in the CFP if the following things occur:
-Need to move up to 10 to make the cut (so moving up 3 spots while idle)
-BYU lost, 0-2 against playoff teams (both Texas Tech) compared to Texas 2-2, so Texas should move ahead of them
-Need to move up to 10 to make the cut (so moving up 3 spots while idle)
-BYU lost, 0-2 against playoff teams (both Texas Tech) compared to Texas 2-2, so Texas should move ahead of them

Not for nothing, but if you put Texas in at #10 and the current rankings more or less hold, you’d get a rematch of Texas-Texas A&M in College Station this time. Which would be better for the business of college football: that, or a rematch of Notre Dame and A&M? I have a pretty strong guess!

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

We need a new word for something like this since it won’t be a Scorigami: when a score has only happened once before in history, and then two happen on the same day at the same time! @nflscorigami.bsky.social
