What!

I assume you (and others) know that wasn't ruled a TD. Yes? No?
Of course, still pretty damn crazy.

[ousdahl]

Oh dang. It wasn’t?

My manager ran down all giddy about it and said it was. I was wondering how so, if maybe like the penalties offset, with the forward lateral and the too many guys on the field and shit.

This is why they need to make me a manager.

Great game.
Marco Wilson of Florida cost his Florida team a W for..... Throwing an opponent's shoe.
LSU Kicker Cade York kicked a 57 yard field goal to win the game.
Yep, it's 2020.

ksu opts out of bowl eligibility at 4-6.

I understand this is non-KU. But as ridiculous as it sounds, I would not mind seeing KU play in a bowl game. You get extra practices, which this team needs and it gives the players something to look forward to.

Sounds like $$$ is an issue for Kansas St.

Which is a surprise to absolutely nobody.

KSU has to be the poorest school in the conference, yeah?

[CrimsonNBlue]

Their department is built on the backs of a lot of lower middle class donors.

Which, I do think is commendable that they have high donor numbers and KU Athletics could take some lessons there. But, it's also tone-deaf to give Klieman even a scheduled raise during a global pandemic that is putting people out of work. Which, they did.

To more directly answer, I would say they have and can spend more on athletics than TCU.

Obviously, TCU the school drawfs Kansas State's overall endowment.

I think it's obvious now...Clemson>>>>>>>Notre Dame

They may meet for a 3rd time.

[Leawood]

Bluemont is the poorest school in the conference because it is a shithole.

Imagine having to hand pump your water from the backyard well for meals and your Saturday night bath. Their heat for their potbelly stoves are regulated by corncobs. They’re used to it, though.

[TDub]

Potbelly stoves are pretty cool tho

I think A&M has something to say about this...

Maybe. Maybe not.

The Allstate Playoff Predictor still gives Notre Dame a 71% chance to reach the playoff -- the fourth-most likely team after Alabama, Ohio State and Clemson -- based on projections through the ACC Championship game. Despite Notre Dame's loss today, the Fighting Irish have a better resume (per Strength of Record) and are the better team (per FPI) relative to Texas A&M. That being said: Notre Dame is no lock and the Aggies still have a 37% chance to reach the playoff.

I would have added ND is the bigger name and will draw a bigger TV audience than A&M.

[NewtonHawk11]

Jimbo brought a good point after their game. Since the inception of the CFP, a one-loss SEC team has always made it in. Granted, this year is different, but A&M played a tough schedule by playing Florida and Bama and split those games.

I have no problem with either ND or A&M making the top 4.
I prefer A&M be selected but feel ND is just as deserving if not more deserving.
A&M may have split their games against Bama and Florida but ND split their games against Clemson - a team that will be in the top 4. Florida will not be in the top 4. Granted, Clemson's best player didn't play when ND beat them.
While A&M's win over a pretty much full strength Florida team was a great W, I don't know if it carries the same weight as ND beating Clemson. It may.
ND played in their conference championship. A&M did not.
