1. Trust me, Manning's decision was much bigger news. Peyton Manning is still by far the most popular person in Tennessee. I didn't say athlete, I said person. Peyton had missed out on the Heisman, beating Florida and a national championship and everyone thought him coming back meant that all three of those things…

He has a much better chance of seeing significant (or any) playing time next year at Ohio St. than in the pros. Same goes for the year after.

I think the main thing is he would have been stupid to go pro. I don't care about the press conference, that is on the media for letting the kid turn an obvious, no-brainer decision into a story. Just saying I don't even consider this news. When Manning came back I lived in Tennessee. It was the biggest news of…

Can you understand nuance? No! Can you make distinctions? No!!! Okay, sure. Same thing.

It's a loud, shitty sports bar, not church, or even a real restaurant. I mean, other than your own house/basement, it is the most appropriate place for such behavior. If you can't be an obnoxious ass at BW3s you can't do it anywhere.

Oh, stop sucking your own cock. Honestly, you don't spend your time on any more worthwhile pursuits.

That is a real hot take you got there. Is it burning your hands?

If you look at the data available, including bowl records, RPI and NFL draft picks and can't conclude the SEC is better than the MAC then I don't know what to tell you. At some point you go with the information you have.

Who ends up winning a tournament and who deserves to be chosen are two different things. Sure, maybe Marshall would have beat Ohio St. (Va. Tech did, so pretty much anyone *could* do it). That possibility doesn't prove anything other than anything can happen in a game. Just like if the NCAA only allowed 2 teams…

Yes, that is my comment, because your statements were inconsistent. Maybe learn which teams are in which conferences so you won't say incompatible things.

I mean, these teams are free to move down to 1-AA. At the end of the day, they are in 1-A because they will make more money that way. I just don't really like the view that these teams are somehow a victim of the choices they are making, not that you are saying that.

I'm not being an asshole at all. You said you were including TCU and Baylor and at the same time you said you were not. Those teams are in the same conference - you know that right?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure "we're pregnant" is predominately said by women with men perhaps parroting it or agreeing in some way. Trust me, no man is confused about who is pregnant or jealous they don't get to take part.

"Baylor or TCU" isn't the name of any team that plays college football.

You are confusing "arbitrary" and "subjective."

Oh, ok. That is a good point. When you only had two teams, obviously even an SEC team (Auburn in 2004?) could go undefeated and be left out.

You'll need to articulate that better or differently in order for me to respond.

The clear reason why not is that those teams are not as good. And also last year already proved a great team/the national champion could come from a bad conference. No one is saying that. If anything, this season showed us that a mediocre ACC team could beat the national champions, because that is what happened.

Sorry that your life has been one disappointment after another. Only rational explanation.

Lincoln disobeyed SCOTUS CJ Taney in Ex parte Merryman. Though I guess that wasn't a Supreme Court decision as Taney wrote it from the MD district court bench, but only for convenience.
