If only one group of 5 team had gotten in, the CFP would be more reasonable. This could have largely been ensured by requiring conference title games to feature the two highest CFP ranked teams, not whatever led to Duke-UVa

What happened to Notre Dame legitimately shows the CFP rankings are a "farse," but not participating in any bowl game ends what sympathy I have for them.
As a Cal fan still pissed about getting screwed out of a Rose Bowl in 2004, I'd have been outraged if they hadn't gone to the Holiday Bowl.

“If you think about the power of compounding and what these accounts are likely to become over 10, 20, 30 years, that’s super significant,” Dell said.
Sure, let's think of what $250 will be worth after 30 years. If do 7% on average, you'll have about $2,000 after 30 years.

I was mostly for Tosh to coach Cal, but the endorsement from DeSean Jackson, who spent his entire pro career rejecting his relationship to Cal, doesn't help him along in this fan's book.

I buy Duke over Pitt, SMU & Ga Tech, but no way they deserve the ACC title game over Miami (rules notwithstanding). That and the SEC title game situation are two of many wounds on modern college football. I miss the bowl era. Our obsession with tournament style sports killed what made it special.

Mark Kelly gives the vibe of the guy in the It TV series who is (supposedly) incapable of feeling fear
Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."
