Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

There's a very real chance that either Texas or Alabama will the Championship while FSU defeats Georgia in a bowl game. Remember the Bulldog seniors have no incentive to risk injury in a meaningless game before the NFL draft. The CFP committee may have created chaos. I'm rooting for chaos at this point.

Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

Do really feel for FSU and Mike Norvell this morning but if they made a choice the other way then people would be talking about the fans bases of Texas or Alabama being upset now. The CFP basically tried to make the Big 12 and SEC happy at the cost of the ACC. If they went to a 6 team playoff (with Michigan and Washington getting byes) then whoever was picked 7th would have been just as upset.

Elon Musk says that, "X is the only platform you can trust for honest information. All the others are bought and paid for." I tend to agree with him on this.
