Here’s what I think the College Football Playoff top 10 rankings should look like Tuesday night (disregarding the committee’s first rankings):
1) Georgia
2) Utah
3) Notre Dame
4) UCLA
5) Miami
6) Tennessee
7) Alabama
8) Texas
9) Indiana
10) BYU

Very curious how nimble the #CFP committee will be with their 2nd rankings, particularly as it pertains to Indiana, Notre Dame and UCLA.
With no ranked wins, OT wins vs Michigan & Minnesota seemed to be propping Indiana up. UCLA just beat Minny by 14 on the road.
Notre Dame now has ranked win vs #1 team in country. 4 point loss at BYU also looks much better than Indiana’s 4 point loss at home vs Ohio State after this week.
Both should be ahead of Indiana, but will committee jump teams that far from first rankings to second?
Beyond just being a B1G/SEC slobberfest, these rankings have some wild inconsistencies.
I’m fine with ND being that far down, based on no ranked wins and a close loss to a highly-ranked team, but then what justification is there for Indiana to be at 4?
Oregon ranked? Lol
We’re barely halfway thru the season. Wtf is this?

Yaxel night one in the NBA:
Yaxel Lenderborg on his NBA debut and guarding Luka: "I got to see what the NBA is like, man. Lot of flopping, lot of foul baiting, lot of praying to the ref. Interesting first game for me... Being in there firsthand, just watching all the whining and complaining, I lost all respect. That was awful"
Transcript of this soundbite:
"Yeah, it was interesting. I got to see what the NBA is like, man. Lot of flopping, lot of foul baiting, lot of praying to the ref. Interesting first game for me, for sure.
I had a lot of respect for him (Luka). You know, just watching. I didn't really watch the NBA much, I just watched highlights. Seeing him, you know, kill people all the time. But then being in there firsthand, just watching all the whining and complaining, I lost all respect, man. Like that was awful.
Like me getting frustrated, it's not about the foul being called, it's about him complaining the entire game. And then you get the foul call, congratulations bro. And then you talk to me like you did something great, bro? Come on, dog. That's just weak. It kinda threw me off for a little while, cause you know, like I said, I had so much respect for him. Gone man, gone.
I was telling him he sucks, he can't score on me. You talking and you can't score on me. I said it the whole game. I said a couple cuss words obviously, you know, that's why I got the technical and all that. But I was letting him know, because he was laughing and talking all this because of that one foul call.
His only bucket on me was a banker from half court. Like I know that it's a team sport. You know, he had 28pts on us as a team. Me, I took my matchup personally. Tried not to get caught on the fouls. Tried my best. I was thinking about playing him with my hands behind my back to see if that worked, probably would've still got a foul call."

lol first round value. I, too, would like unattainable things.
Bottom line: Monti should have been shown the door with Gannon and Kyler. Organizational malpractice to let a lame duck GM hang around when you’re resetting the timeline at HC and QB. Then again, it’s the Cardinals, and the entire operation is malpractice under Michael Bidwill.
The dichotomy between organizational malpractice and coaching genius for the Vikings to be 3-0 this year, 9-8 last year, after lighting a 10th overall pick on fire that the whole world could see was not a franchise QB is really something.
The only ones shocked by the international fields being dogshit at this point is the @NFL. Absolutely nobody wants this.
On the Justin Herbert debate and the Chargers dreadful 0-2 start.
Full week 2 episode is up on YouTube.
There needs to be a special circumstances flex option. This is grotesque.
After today, the #Falcons next three games are all in primetime:
• at Packers (Thursday Night Football)
• at Saints (Monday Night Football)
• vs. Ravens (Sunday Night Football)
And they did it by chucking the ball deep and running a quick offense in the final 2 minutes, up by 77.
No program in the country is a bigger fake tough guy than Oregon.
Everyone can agree this situation is tragic. I also thinks it’s fair to question ASU’s handling of it in the aftermath. But this article of anonymous sources feels like a complete hit piece on Powers.
Are we just pretending that no coach in America, in any sport, calls their team soft? Or that no coach yells and throw things in a locker room? We can debate its place, but portraying it as some kind of damning evidence of nefarious intent in a national publication is wild to me.
Off-ice workouts exist. They’re not fun. But in the context of the heat, ASU football practices right next door in full pads from 9-noon in July and August.
Again, we can debate the need for military-style workouts, but this article feels like it has an agenda, especially when this was an on-the-record quote in a different publication. Did The Athletic not feel like talking to him?
It’s an absolute tragedy, and maybe something ugly is uncovered in the investigation, but the rush to blame and ‘guilty until proven innocent’ in the public court of opinion in this day and age is unfortunate.
NEW: Greg Powers called his ASU men’s hockey team ‘soft’.
Then came an ex-Green Beret and a workout that left a player on life support.

How’s that beautiful park coming along, @LaurenKuby ?
Tempe voters will decide in November whether to approve a sales tax increase that supporters say is needed to replace lost revenue — but opponents call the wrong solution at the wrong time.

I think a long SB drought ends this year, and I'm high on the Cowboys. What could possibly go wrong?
