Next year, they're going to ask players to pay for the right to play in the Superbowl. "Don't worry, you'll make up the money in endorsements if you win."

You must feel so special that you don't like 3 popular singers/bands!

You can do that in baseball. Heck, you can do it in football between plays.

Virginia was part of the Confederacy. West Virginia, where Saban's from, seceded from Virginia and remained part of the Union.

I still think the worst ever was John Wall. Others have missed the strike zone by more, but of the people with terrible first pitches he's the only one who is a professional athlete and makes his living throwing balls. There is a higher standard for him.

Like I said, 2011 was an aberration, even under the way it played out. At least under my system you wouldn't have people arguing over who should be the #4 and who should be the #5. Also, your point about the most exciting games not always being between the 2 best teams contradicts your claim that we need the 4 best…

My mistake on that one. But to answer your question, yes I would. Win your conference. Besides, that's an aberration in what is already the most controversial college football season in recent memory.

I don't see Archie taking a bribe, but if Ole Miss is on the bubble (or any SEC team really), I can see him being biased and dropping the other bubble team down a few spots. He might not even realize that he's biased. He might just legitimately think the other school is overrated, but anyone who is neutral would…

Look at the list of games that I posted in this thread that would have occurred from 2002-2012 and tell me which games you think would have been bad. Maybe 2011 LSU v. Boise State, but other than that all the games look at least decent. Besides, it's not like the 2011 LSU v. Alabama game was super exciting.

I disagree. I don't think people will complain that much. I think people understand that the rankings are subjective (one of the factors is a poll) and not much separates #4 from #5. In fact, I would be willing to bet that some voters would rank second place teams a little bit lower because they know those teams are…

If you had the top 4 conference winners or independents according to BCS rankings, you would not "regularly have a #15 team get in the playoffs over the third or fourth-best team." Going back to 2002, the lowest ranked team that would have made the playoffs would have been ranked #7 and that would have only happened…

I was thinking the same thing. Surely a major city in Texas has its own high end steak restaurants?

Plums are way too low. And I have the same objections to lemons and limes that have already been voiced (you can't eat them raw). But other than that, it's a much better list than on the other 2 sites. Solid top 4.

"If a cop pulls you over and tells you to give them $20, you can tell them to fuck off, as that is an unlawful order. Under no circumstance would you have to give the cop $20 and then sort it out later — that's blatantly illegal and you have no obligation to respect it."

Because standing around in the outfield all day is much more strenuous and masculine than running up and down a soccer field and getting hit by other players.

I don't think Jecht is saying that "everything will be ok" if you cooperate. I think he's saying that the outcome might suck if you cooperate, but if you don't cooperate it will really really suck.

You should always do what cops tell you to regardless of color or how unjust the order seems. Getting arrested is always preferable to getting shot.

I'd have more sympathy for you if you weren't a racist and proofread your posts.

I'd have a little more sympathy if he was stealing, say, chicken or bread rather than expensive crab legs. Most students can't afford crab legs.

How long until there's someone on TV talking about how well Stewart is dealing with the distraction and (if he does well in the race) how he's redeemed himself?
