I break my desk chair about once every four years, and I absolutely never see it coming until I am cascading to the floor.

Texas is not even in remote Playoff consideration. Its best claim is entirely a hypothetical.
Great, make a claim that no one can prove, Longhorns.

Folks, Miami is not getting into the Playoff over Notre Dame. Anyone telling you, "ND is out," is simply making loud noises to get your attention because they 1) have no genuine, sophisticated analysis to share and 2) think you are too dumb to notice.
Prove them wrong.
Prove them wrong.

Obviously this is a basketball headline.
But it is even funnier when you remember LSU is the worst team in the country at finishing drives. Worse than Charlotte. Worse than UMass.

Am I backing five road underdogs?
No, just four.
The fifth is Minnesota in the snow.
🔸Kentucky needs a sixth win vs. quitting Louisville
🔸Florida State needs a sixth win vs. quitting Florida
🔸Houston vs. Baylor's wretched rush defense
🔸PJ Fleck's last Ax?
🔸Yale to advance

Every so often, you have to lean into a bit on the live show, as well as in this post, and refuse to use the 13th letter of the alphabet while giving genuine analysis on Ohio State at Ann Arbor, as worrying as it is to trust the Buckeyes in this rivalry.

Kent State notches a fifth win
Came a last-minute touchdown against Ball State from bowl eligibility and possibly the MAC title game.
Mark Carney should win Coach of The Year.

The last week of the regular season means you have more information than ever. But it would be irresponsible to place bigger bets.
Instead, trust your edge.
Alternative spreads and props fill my Best Bets this week.

There is only one way for Lane Kiffin to not leave a genuine title chance if he indeed takes the LSU job.
He needs to lose the Egg Bowl on Friday.
Selfish, foolish behavior compromising Mississippi's first genuine title chance in six decades.
Why do we play these games?
For those chances.

Virginia is a 9.5-point favorite this weekend vs Virginia Tech.
SMU is a 13.5-point favorite at Cal.
If both win, they will meet for the ACC title game.
Which is why, folks, we are looking at SMU making the Playoff two years in a row.

Lane Kiffin is thinking about leaving an active and genuine chance at a championship.
Only one coach has ever done that.

The biggest game of the day?

A conference title and a Playoff berth on the line?
Give me the underdog Bulldogs.
