Could 2019 be the year Alabama miss the college football Playoffs? right now if the playoff selection was to be made today, it would be:
1) LSU
2) Clemsom
3) Baylor
4) Ohio State/Minnesota

Alabama chances would be none if any 4 of these 5 teams finish undefeated.

Have you been paying any attention whatsoever? Baylor is 12th in the AP Poll right now, while even one-loss Alabama is still fourth. In the playoff rankings tonight, I would expect LSU, Ohio State, Clemson, and Alabama to be the top four, in that order.

Minnesota was 17th I think before the Penn State game?  They deserve to be in the Top 10 but not the Top 5.

The "if 4 of these 5 teams finish undefeated" part rings true.

I agree that if LSU, Clemson, Baylor, and Minnesota or Ohio State (one would lose to the other) all finish undefeated, then that is the playoff field.

That is assault with a weapon. But a suspension and fine are all he’s going to get.

[Big John]

^^ He is suspended for at least the rest of this season.  Fine amount to be disclosed

[thspfc]

Ban him for life. That was terrible.

Cleveland PD should've come on the field and arrested him. But since it's a sport, anything goes, I guess.

Yet another "˜mistake by the lake', no doubt about it.

How are those two things even related? (Never mind the fact that I've never gone storm chasing–although I'd like to!)

I was under the impression that was Jmoses who was the storm chaser?  Anyways, haven't a couple hockey players actually been charged when there has been some pretty extreme acts like smashing someone in the face with a stick?

In any event, if what he's trying to imply is that storm chasing is illegal, well... it is not.

Off hand I don't know if any states that have laws against the practice.  Risking your own life and limb while not endangering others is a far leap from smashing someone in the head with blunt object.

I just noticed the line in the Ohio State/Rutgers game is 52 points.  I would say that is absurd for a major conference point spread but Rutgers makes me question sometimes how they are even in D1 (I know it's call some other silly name now that sounds like a neighborhood) much less the Big Ten.

Northwestern had a line of 39 today. They had scored 38 total in their 5 previous games and still hit the line.

They are D1 (or whatever) and in the Big Ten because they open up television markets and bring more money to the Conference.  Nothing else matters anymore.

28-3 claims another unsuspecting victim. The spookiest score in football.

Looks like Myles Garrett will appeal his indefinite suspension...

I'm super excited to see my college team (the Badgers) play Minnesota next week. This will probably be the most exciting Wisconsin-Minnesota rivalry game I've seen since I started college. Not only will both teams have the Big Ten West title on the line, this could also be a revenge game for us because if we win, we get to take Paul Bunyan's Axe back from Minnesota since they won against us last year. This game will be intense!

I want to watch this game, but the one Gophers game I've watched this year, they lost. So I'm a little torn.

I always thought it was odd that the Minnesota Football program was one of the best in the Country before the mid-20th Century.  Interestingly the Golden Gophers have 7 claimed national championships.
