Skeleton Crew predictions? (spoilers through last week's episode)

SalmonOfCapistrano

3:59pm

I think my favorite playoff suggestion is 20 team playoff.

cougarfann888

3:48pm

24 in FCS works really well.

kimdaddy35

3:49pm

Doesn’t the playoff get too long? It would be half as long as the season.

TarCoug

3:53pm

No, 12 is enough. They just need to tweak the seeding and it will be fine.

DudeBro

3:50pm

quit trying to expand the playoffs, makes season meaningless

Count Cougar

3:53pm

how? it makes the season actually mean something for far more teams than

FieroCoug

3:54pm

12 game reg season is way too small a sample size to say who the best teams are

Mr. Scoobs

If you are not top 3 in your conference you have no business playing for a NC.

Turn and Cough

3:57pm

I don't like any playoff scenario where anyone gets a bye... it's clear a bye is a disadvantage

Coug

4:00pm

Is this a different ESPN crew? Is that delay related?

At least he's coming back. He was a big key to the Dodgers success in 2024.

Anyone can see NIL has lowered SEC dominance. They won 7 straight natty’s

Pro Bowl QBs

scootsy Truly Addicted User

Not wrong. The best 4 QBs in football are all in the AFC.

kimdaddy35

3:51pm

Best 7.

scootsy

3:52pm

Maybe, I stopped at 4. Who are your top 7?

This game just got interesting. ND 13, GA 3 at the half.

Should have used your timeouts ND

Warner

I hate rooting for ND, but, they are not in the SEC so I'm Irish for one day.

Pantera Azul

Nope

I like Freeman he seems like he handles himself very well

kimdaddy35

We’ll actually never know at this point…

Doesn’t matter. Retzlaff is going to be our QB for the rest of his life.

Adrielle Board Misanthrope

AMD Notre Dame gets the ball at the start of the next half

Blue Heart

AMD is sponsoring Notre Dame?

fan_byu

Wow, nice TD pass there.

durandal Rampant AI

3:40pm

Don’t worry Georgia they gave you enough time to do that again

Warner

3:39pm

Well well well.

pink22

3:38pm

go, non-sec team

Count Cougar

3:38pm

I guess. Notre Dame is basically the same thing. They think they deserve a spot

runnincoug

3:43pm

very true but they don’t get that spot unless they are really good.

FieroCoug

Timeout Husbander

I think we'll see Esera and or Kelley play some DE next year. KVN/Fred Warner type play.

HarlemCoug

3:39pm

Definitely agree with Esera. I think Kelly has his role well defined and does

SoCalCoug

But the why is the more important question. The why is that he has little touch. Why does he have little touch?

kimdaddy35

He really likes to throw to and/or fumble to players on the opposing team.

DudeBro

Words I never thought I'd hear: Thanks for the healthy groin, Dad.

Jeffacka

Did he just say "thanks for the healthy groin dad!"?

Yep he did!!

Yes. The kick's chiro dad helped with his groin injury.

I'm assuming they talked about that earlier? I just turned it on when he said it

are there any officials in the NCAA that can spot a ball correctly?

Totally agree and think it is bad on all levels of football.

I still don’t fully understand the hesitance to fix it with technology.

Yiowa

there is not an easy technological fix. too many factors, because it depends on

RGGeemer

Who knows. Seems talented enough. But he did not see many targets this year, and not sure why

Bob Vance

3:11pm

Because Jake is afraid to throw to TEs?

xgbs

Was it unjustified? Seems like TEs were the classic 50/50 ball this year

Bob Vance

I did wonder, but hey Hill was quite good the previous two years.

xgbs

He changed positions and put on weight to adjust to the new position
