Not good enough. Sorry, but that crew should be suspended. Not once did they even attempt to explain that last 15 seconds of the game. Instead they botched the call, called it a day, and ran off the field like a bunch of gutless cowards with their tails between their legs. No sympathy at all when you don't even attempt to make a proper ruling.

No... that's what I said. Hence your quoting of me.
I think it's pretty safe to say that the recruiting gurus fucked up when rating Driskel. It happens.
I think he has 38 yards rushing on the year. That's not exactly lighting it up.
Yeah, he should be fired. At least it should shut up the morons who claimed Stave did something wrong.

It was 2008, and that Ball State team got stomped 42-24 by unranked 7-5 Buffalo to lose their conference championship game before going on to lose 45-13 in their bowl game to unranked Tulsa. They were ranked #12 before the Buffalo game; winning the conference could have gotten them up to #8, but I doubt it, since even 12-0 Boise State finished the regular season at #9 and they had a BCS Bowl skin on the wall from beating OU two seasons prior. I think in reality if there was an 8 team playoff in place that season then Boise would have gotten in; either a selection committee would have chosen them or, if it went with teams 1-8 and not a selection committee, the people that fill out the polls would try to boost them into the top 8.
Going by those week 16 standings, though, an 8 team playoff taking the top 8 teams would have been huge as far as ratings. OU, Florida, UT, Alabama, USC, and Penn State would all have made it in.

Eh I could have told you what the reviews would have said the minute the game was announced. I want to play it and hope it comes to ps4 but after IV I am in no rush to play it.

And for the on topic part of my post: 8 teams is definitely ideal. Gives the chance for a dark horse

I'd be okay with 4, 6 with the top two seeds getting byes, or maybe 8 teams. Anything more is too much.
I wasn't wading into Gaming Side to discuss this game.
I enjoyed GTA IV to an extent, but it definitely got old.
From what I've read, the gameplay mechanics have been completely overhauled and fixed and there isn't nearly as much tedious traveling as in GTA IV and San Andreas.
I believe.
In less than 10 years the playoff will involve 32 teams, this debate about what's ideal from 16 or less is cute.
This is a conservative figure BTW, FCS--an economic irrelevance--is already at 20 teams IIRC.
When you're suffering through 7-5 teams getting a chance at the national title, and first rounds characterized more by poor play than quality matchups (see: the first 2 rounds of March Madness), I want you to remember that this is exactly what you asked for.

At a certain point, I realized the only Rockstar open world game I finished was Red Dead, and I still considered quitting during that Mexican sequence.
I think what finally got me on GTA IV was when I opened up Manhattan, and I had to pay a toll to get back to Brooklyn/Queens and the cops would come after me if I didn't pay. And this was in the middle of a 20 minute mission with no check points.
Fuck that game.
I want March Madness to be cut to 16. However, that's never going to happen. Stupid money.
Agreed, they went way too far toward the side of realism. GTA: Vice City really struck the perfect balance between fun and realistic for me. Vice City truly felt like a playground, Liberty City in GTA IV felt too much like real life.
I'm still glad I preordered, and if it disappoints (even though I doubt it) I'll still be able to get $35 or $40 by trading it in within a couple months.
Yup, 64.5 teams was bad enough, especially with all the terrible "bubble" bids from power conferences that get in, and they just enlarged it. Football will be Icarian in comparison.

We open as a 57 point favorite vs Florida A&M, thanks Vanderbilt.

There's some funny business going on with some of those. For example, in the concussion question at the beginning, that 33% bar should be half the size of the 67% bar but it's more like a quarter of the size, and down at the "seen something you thought could be an NCAA violation" part the 40% block is clearly larger than the 42% block.
The way Graham screwed Pitt was super douchebag.

Think I posted that in the offseason, or someone did. I laughed at the "NO CUPS WANTED" poll
Yeah, I'm not surprised at the answers. I just thought it was funny they were both in the same conference

I know it has been posted before, but I needed to post that as a source for a previous post. mre and CJ are adamantly against a 16 playoff, but it is something that players seemingly want. And if not a 16 team playoff, then at least an 8 team playoff. I do like Sto0ges 12 team proposal though...

No team outside the top 8 deserves a shot at a title. Once you get there you're looming at 3-4 loss teams. I like the pressure of every game in college football, it's what makes it special and unlike any other sport.
On this subject I say fuck what the players want.

We would all be playing in neon green jerseys and chrome helmets if we always gave the players what they wanted.
Should they get residuals for jersey sales and video game appearances? Yes. Should they have the freedom to go cupless? Well...I guess. Should they design uniforms or the playoff system? No.
I say we should have a the top 10 teams in a playoff with the top 2 getting a bye the first week.
Like this.

How about a playoff system that varies by year?
As many one or zero loss teams that there are that year get in

However many it'll be, I want it to always be "the most deserving." Even if it means half are from the same conference.
The main headache will always be "where are these teams playing, and how boned are the fans going to be in regards to traveling cost"

There are many things you can say about Nebraska.
Their fans being fair weather, however, is not one of them.

On a side note we can add another QB from Texas whom Texas did not recruit. smooth jazz himself, Kenny Guiton
gl selling advertising for something like that.

Are you watching the same Gata games I am? Sure, Driskel has potential, but nothing that'll make him elite in the NFL. If he goes any higher than the 4th-5th round in the draft I'd be VERY surprised. I'd take Gabbert or Josh Freeman over Driskel.

my god, who the hell made this visual'
42% is both smaller than the 40%, and it's the least visually striking color, leading the reader to assume the "3-5" is the most prevalent answer instead of the "9+"
Somebody needs to fire Kiffin for this

Mark Richt has los-
Damn you, Talon. I've got my eye on you. Goddamn Ducks.
Late on this strange turn of events in Driskel land, but Phillip Sims was a #1 ranked QB in High School.
Looking back at that 2010 HS QB Class...not great.

Best would be Cam coming as a Juco QB.
Manziel was a 3 star QB in 2011
Great athlete playing quarterback, who also has an above average arm and can zip the short and intermediate routes. At times Manziel tries to do too much and will try to make something out of nothing, this causes turnovers at times. Does not have a great feel for the rush but when he sees it he can get out of it with ease. Deadly running the ball, he has above average speed and moves.
