I'm in favor of an 8 team playoff. Conference champ of the P5 schools get in. 3 At-Large bids. If you really wanted to keep some historical involvement (read: money), you could keep the major bowls involved.

 

Rose Bowl

Big Ten champ vs Pac 12 champ

 

Fiesta Bowl

Big 12 champ vs At-Large At-Large #3

 

Sugar Bowl

SEC champ vs At-Large #2

 

Orange Bowl

ACC Champ vs At-Large #3

 

 

 

That way, the four major money bowls still get their sites every year and they still have their same conference affiliations. You could also develop new pretty cool "rivalries" between the Bowls themselves. What I mean by that is, if the Sugar Bowl always plays the Orange Bowl champ in round 2, it will build the ACC / SEC rivalry because you know that only one of the conference champs can play for the NC.

 

 

Just my thoughts.

Respectively 3rd & 4th as far as rookie WR rec yards

 

1. Miss. St.

2. FSU

3. Auburn

4. Oregon

5 Alabama

6 Baylor

Check out the Jags.  I mean, seriously, these guys just throw stuff out there to fill up web pages i'm convinced.

 

Lazy lazy lazy.

A nice piece by Alfie looking at the numbers. Here are a few excerpts:

Quote:First of all, the team is more competitive than they were last season through the first nine weeks. Last year the Jaguars had a 178 point differential through Week 9 (in only 8 games) while this season it's just 110, with an extra game factored in. They've given up 68 less points at this point, even though the start of the season was so awful.


Through the last six games the Jaguars have been in every game entering the fourth quarter and if a few plays go differently, they could have two to three more wins. Part of that is because the defense is playing better than it was at this point last year and the offense is playing better than it was at this point last year.

Quote:The Jaguars offense is easily outpacing last years offense with half of the players starting/contributing as rookies. It took a few weeks to get things sorted out, which isn't uncommon when a team has a high turnover rate and when the team is exceedingly young, but over the past four to five weeks the Jaguars have settled in and now they just need to learn how to win. Last season at this point they'd scored single digits in half their games. This year they've scored single digits just once.

I want to see how well I've got their train of thought figured out.

I'm just stating a fact here.  The one game we won was vs a starting qb with hoyer for browns.  We lost to cousins, and whitehurts this year. Both of them are back ups.  I am just saying we might be better off vs a starter qb,because a back up has things to prove so they can get a job as a starter on another team.  also I believe we are winless at London. its either 0-1,or 0-2. Is this game in London? I can't rember.

I hardly ever win in fansty football anyways ,but next year I am really really  going to take one for the jags. I have a plan. First let me say I already had aj green on my team, and  hes  been out hurt on the bench.  anyways when we played dolphins I picked up Wallace, and he didn't do well that week,and the previoues week he had over 13 points. I put green back in this week when he played us,and he didn't do as well, one td.  I am going to look at our schedule next year,and try to take a player from every team we play aganiest,I'll even have to take ugh a titian player.  I'm just saying the last 2 I started in one of my fansty leagues when they played jags haven't done as well.

Okay, let's be honest, this year was a bit of a letdown.  I expected us to win 6 or 7 games, and I expected MUCH more from Bradley.  I am slightly concerned about BB as well.

 

BUT....

 

Let's get real.  We are so [BAD WORD REMOVED] young.  BB is not a loser, he will not slink and shuffle into the abyss of a "couldve been" QB.  I firmly believe that this season, at some point, the light will come on in his eyes, something will click, then BANG!  Here we go.  Not perfect from there out, but the needed leap from him is made.   When that happens, and we see A ROB, A HURNS, D ROB, and our D progress....its going to be fun.  

 

My prediction - this time next year, we are all excited.   We will be around 6-3 at this time, we will be happy and cheering and having fun.  And the players will be too.  So KEEP THE FAITH.  WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.   Good times await, its coming, soon!

Watching the game again, looked like they were trying to hide him the entire first half with all the screens. Had some real nice downfield throws in the second half. The occasional boneheaded one, but that's blake.


The INT and second td to hurns were two of the more concerning throws..... Looked like they were all arm so the ball hung in the air with little velocity and little distance.


Not the dumpster fire people are making it out to be though. And my God, sky's the limit for hurns if he can keep the drops down.
