I think my favorite CFP proposal is a 16-team, 4 from each P4 with conference semis and conference championship game leading up to the overall semis and championship.

A nice campaign by AGU to amplify voices against dismantling NCAR. Also, as a Colorado resident, I called my (GOP) house rep and actually talked to someone ?!?

Save NCAR from being dismantled today!
The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

No matter how bad Penn State is, Rutgers will still beat themselves. Though, great playcalling/decisions late in the game by Terry.

Arguably the two best catches of the college football season have come against Penn State in crucial moments. Just wild.

You don't have to agree with him on every policy to recognize that if Democrats want to save the United States from fascism, they need to have the fight, the charisma, and the message of Zohran Mamdani. How people so forgot the lessons of 2008 is beyond me.

In this article and the broader discourse about a possible βcat 6,β Iβm fascinated by the dichotomy between the climate-centric scientists who are largely in favor of a cat-6 and the tropical cyclone-centric scientists who largely arenβt. (1/3)
