Tired: Put microchips in the footballs Wired: Put frickin' laser beams on top of the field goal posts

Worth the read. Nailed it on the importance of introspection.

As I tell my students, it's a word calculator. It does NOT think. It cannot think. AI is useful for very specific tasks involving iteration and repeat calculation. It is not a replacement for human authenticity, creativity and judgement. And it never will be.

We need private equity to buy out private equity and close it down

So this little project of mine hit 10 of the 12 #CFP teams in its MOV- (without margin of victory) rankings. The two teams it had in the top 12 that didn't get spots? BYU and Notre Dame. I'm flabbergasted it did that well. cosmosrankings.com/2025/12/08/2...

Notre Dame refusing a bowl game means they will possess the lineal college football national title into next season. www.hatchrankings.com/lineal.html

Dang man they work quick around here. Top floors of the old tower are already gone. #UCF

Today's decision by the selection committee should mean the end of the weekly CFP shows. What was the point?

Three-loss Bama in over two-loss BYU. Make it make sense.

Joey Galloway absolutely spitting facts. #CFP

This is what I would prefer: 1. Indiana 2. Texas Tech 3. Georgia 4. Ohio State --- 5. Oregon 12. James Madison 6. Ole Miss 11. Tulane 7. Texas A&M 10. Miami 8. Oklahoma 9. Notre Dame

I'm still naive and think playoff and tournament berths should mean something to the teams that get them. Same for football as basketball. That matters. Tulane deserves it. JMU deserves it. It doesn't matter if they get boatraced. Getting in should be an accomplishment to be proud of.

I'm sorry but 3-loss Bama does not deserve a #CFP bid. I don't care about wins against ranked teams that are not ranked anymore. They got fragged by 5-7 FSU and are getting liquidated in all three phases right now by a team they barely beat earlier in the season.

The championship games tonight are gonna be lightyears better than the games tomorrow

Big weekend for this experiment of mine starts now. #CFB Rankings as of this instant: cosmosrankings.com

Some important dates for #UCF fans to remember: Jan. 2-16 - Football Transfer Portal window Feb. 4 - Spring Signing Period starts Players on the two teams competing in the CFP national championship game get a five-day window from Jan. 20-24.

So this is what I think I’m seeing here: Bama win and in, lose and out. UVA win and in, lose and out BYU win and in, lose and out UM in with UVA loss Tulane win and in JMU in with Tulane loss and UVA win UNT in with win and Duke win ND in with UVA, Texas Tech and Tulane wins

The whole thing has the feeling of, “just let me know what it’s done.”

Great read. Confirms most suspicions. Ironically, X has no value without the feature.

@sickoscommittee.org Fine, I'll say it. JMU and North Texas are more deserving of a CFP auto-bid berth at the moment than any team in the ACC, and I have the math to prove it: cosmosrankings.com

Interesting. Right now I've got all of the projected CFP field except for the following: - I have BYU in over Texas as an at-large. - I have JMU (8-1) over USF as the G5, though that will likely change. - GT is my highest ACC team. cosmosrankings.com

Unfortunately I’m still sick and won’t be at #UCF men’s hoops tonight. Bummed because I’m missing out on seeing Charlie Ward.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Hello Bluesky. I would like to introduce to you a project I've been working on for the last ten years, on and off. It's a College Football Ranking System. The site isn't fully baked but the formula is. Here's where you can find it: cosmosrankings.com

Baseball is unjust.

they must end this game before the daylight savings clock adjustment. nobody knows what will happen if baseball gets into the time shift. we could get stuck in the time wormhole forever

Dude, just make contact.

Vladito, Bichette and Barger due up for the Jays in Bottom 9. That's how I would prefer it in this situation if I were them.

"The two-minute timeout was 32 minutes ago." - Sean McDonough

This last ten minutes of real time in the Georgia/Auburn game is an absolute embarrassment to the sport.

@cjzero.bsky.social LOL Sean McDonough has HAD it with these SEC officials.

Shout-out to @adamamin.bsky.social. He never misses. Never.

I like it.

Happy for Cam Ward. I will always root for dudes who start as 0-star recruits to low FCS schools and bust their tails to get better. Guys like Cam know how to WORK.

Cardiac Bucs do it again

YOU ALREADY HAD THIS THREE YEARS AGO AND KILLED IT JUST TO RELAUNCH IT AGAIN
