Yeah, Xeliou, Williams is not healthy. FWIW, the committee chair didn't really confirm the lack of a chance of Bama to jump Ohio State despite neither team playing a game this weekend. I can't see it, but possibly could if Michigan loses. We also don't know what will happen early tomorrow with TCU & Kansas State

Well, USC is trailing again. Actually the first time. I guess it's the Trojans coming back to Earth

14 unanswered from Utah (the only team to beat USC). And the defending champs get the back to start the 2nd half. Didn't help that USC nearly had big time disaster to end the 1st half!

So far, so good for the University of Southern California. 14-3 with two endzone scores in each of their possessions. Just a FG for the actual reigning and now truly defending champs in Utah, but their second shot is on the way. (Even with a surprise collapse) I don't see how anything occurring on Saturday results in someone other than Caleb Williams ending the calendar year sans the Heisman Award

Going with USC and the over for the Pac 12 & North Texas and the under for the CUSA CG

I guess some "higher power" is a Los Angeles Chargers fan! BTW, I don't know (or think) it's time for Bill to call it quits. The standards are what they are, and the history is what it is. New England still played two of the best teams this year in the NFL. Most teams, all of whom haven't even come close to the success of the Pats, also crumbled courtesy of the 2017 NFC North Champions and the current AFC East champions

Here come the times for the Top 6 Conference Title Games. Each of the 10 games for a title are pretty good, even if they result in not much (like this year's ACC Championship though the Orange Bowl is still worth it). The Sun Belt, MAC, Mountain West, and CUSA have meaning even if they're not for a playoff spot or a New Year's Six spot; the CUSA game is tonight; 1 of 2 for Friday with everything else scheduled for Saturday Friday, December 2 Pac-12 Championship 8:00 on FOX Utah vs USC Saturday, December 3 Big XII Championship 12:00 on ABC Kansas State vs TCU American Championship 4:00 on ABC Central Florida vs Tulane Southeastern Conference Championship 4:00 on CBS Louisiana State University vs University of Georgia American Coastal Conference Championship 8:00 on ABC Clemson vs University of North Carolina BIG Ten Championship Game 8:00 on FOX Purdue vs Michigan All times are Eastern. Looks like 3 for ABC, 2 for FOX and 1 for CBS. Fox had just the one (B1G) last year with ABC/ESPN airing the Pac-12 in 2021 (same Friday slot)

I saw that stat not too long ago. It was definitely worth the laugh. Though at the end of the day, Tampa probably will have a better record. New England still has a game against Cincinnati. Though so do the Bucs, but the Pats still have a date at Orchard Park later on. The amazing thing is that the East division in both conferences had all 4 teams in a playoff spot. As of now, the NFCE still does; headed into TNF, the Patriots were a spot out with the Bengals as one of the wild cards with the other AFCE teams. I can see the 2nd place finisher in the NFC West ruining the "NFC East perfect postseason attendance" but I don't think anyone else is close. In the AFC, barring a run by Vegas, it's only the Chargers and whoever the 2nd place finisher is in the AFC North between Baltimore and Cincy

New England might as well start introducing themselves with Bill as the featured person. For example, "Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals travel to Foxborough to face Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots." TBS (to be serious) Mac Jones had "2 minutes" to find someone before the 2-minute warning and found no one Either way, Buffalo is a great team, and a Super Bowl victory would actually be very nice. Not too easy but they're finding ways to win (while getting a head start to address the run game). No Von Miller and it's like it didn't even matter!

If the Pats fans were down 26 with 14:59 or less to go, then that would be fair enough. Pats suck. And so do the Bills. I guess the only way they can lose is by picking against them (New Year's can't come soon enough). Or if they actually get to the Super Bowl only to face either Dallas or Brady

Breaking news: The Patriots are playing, and the Bills have punted!

That’s a huge blow to Michigan. Huge for Saturday? Probably not. The playoffs? Definitely. Depends on the slotting. They might need to have enough against USC or TCU. Plus, hope someone knocks off Georgia. Unless it's the Buckeyes

Not too bad. However, they weren't wearing those unis on a Thursday in December

No. Nobody mentioned AB as the guy has been mentioned way too many times for an octopus to count on all of its hands. On a related note, I don't know what the odds are for Bills/Patriots (I've seen -2.5 to -4 in favor of Buffalo), but I'm going to pick New England outright and the under. Not necessarily a short week as both received the American Team benefit of playing a Thursday game after a Thursday holiday game. It's a home game for the Pats who need it, and a Von-less Bills team helps N.E.

I don't gamble, but for those that do, I would totally go with Broncos and that +8.5 ASAP, since it's possible that it's not going to be that sweet anywhere from 90 seconds to 90 minutes Of course, several pick against the spread within one's predictions that have nothing to do with actual betting, so I wouldn't know how one would handle odds (opening or closing). For me, they hardly change drastically

Leonard Little = The Correct Answer

Yeah, times have changed

Cody was blessed with a decent advantage that preceded a rare result to help spare him. No all 5 male final (which would've matched the opposite in One World), but it would've have happened anyway with Karla left in the game. Plus that would not have been great

Well, no "revenge" or "avenging" Micronesia or One World for the men LOL. And it probably would not have worked anyway since Karla still has her Idol

See ya Sami

Meh. Just stick with the plan. ITA. Gabe gets it. It's still 1 in 6 (which, if you play craps, feels nothing like 1 in 6)

Damn budget. I'm still optimistic it'll return, or something will return mid-decade as 25 and 50 hit. Which is why I'm okay with the Show doing whatever necessary to be active until that point

Looks like Jesse & Cody will survive, which may be okay since there could be fireworks between the two

Barring a repeat IC win from Karla, If Cassidy goes, it would be the easiest bet of the century

I'd go with Sami, but Karla has a point. Meaning Cassidy might need to hope Cody thought of her before the IC
