Other Games 11/19 - 11/23

Purdue is just a bad team.

Can't imagine Walters lasting very long. Good thing he's young and well be able to recover his career.
 
Late game UNLV and San Jose State
not better GIF

He won't have trouble finding a coordinator job. Pick the right one and he'll get another shot as a head coach, at least at a G5 school.
 
This weekend's slate is not good in general. Weird for a sport going into an expanded playoff.
Part of this comes from SEC and a few other top programs scheduling body bag games late season to pad their schedules and make money without having to work hard at it. Georgia playing UMass, Tennessee vs. UTEP, South Carolina vs. Wofford, Clemson with the Citadel, following a similar line-up last weekend.

This is another part of the media and committees giving SEC schools credit for their wins even though they play less conference games and have the advantage of a late season break to rest key players
 
Washington State plays at Oregon State for the P12 crown...it would be hilarious if the Beavers won given the season WSU had until losing at UNM last weekend.
I saw Oregon State get dominated last weekend at AFA.

Expect Cougars by 20 there.

Realize I have a rep of shïtting on the CFP, but I 100% think that's the reason there's less relevant late season games than in the past.

Simple math.

When the goal was a conference championship and there were 20+ D1 conferences, you had 2-3 teams in each in contention, making around 40-50 teams still in contention for "the goal".

Now "the goal" is the CFP, and there's maybe 16-20 teams in contention for 12 spots.

I would agree with you if there were a lot of games between teams with winning records but not really in the playoff chase. But it mostly just seems like good teams playing bad teams throughout the day.

I would also add that SEC schools adding November body bag games goes way back further than the CFP.

Simple math is that 12 bids versus 4 for the CFP plus a conference champ getting an auto-bid = there being a fvckton more relevant games than in previous years.

Sure, we're comparing different points in time. The 4 team CFP era probably represents an all time low and the 12 team expansion is a small step back.
 
TV did a nice piece on the brother of Army's coach - a man who deals with Down's and the onset of dementia. He is a big part of that team. Attends all practices, on the sideline at games. Loved and respected by all.
Another reason to cheer against n.d. today
 
Come on, it’s not all bad this weekend. Columbia plays Cornell for a chance at their first Ivy League championship in over 60 years.
