I read on the interwebs that yesterday was the last day without NCAA or NFL football until the day before Thanksgiving.
So it has to be true.

Ok…question.
One of my favorite visual memories of the 90s championship games were big guys in half shirts right under their pads totally ripped and dominating.
No, this is not some weird thing.
Then, I thought that was outlawed.
Now, I’m watching the Oregon MSU game and the Oregon RB has a shirt similar.
So, what’s the rule on that?

The perpetuation of the SEC Exaggeration:
Texas A&M is ranked #20 in the preseason poll coming of a 7-6 year because SEC.
Texas A&M loses 23-13 to Notre Dame in Week 1. Notre Dame loses to Northern Illinois the next week.
Texas A&M really doesn't beat anyone the next four weeks - other than fellow SECers Florida (2-2 with an FBS win, 5-7 last year) and Arkansas (3-2 with an FBS win, 4-8 last year) but moves back into the Top 25 because SEC.
Missouri was good last year and started 2-0 against terrible teams then barely beat Boston College - who barely beat the Michigan State team Oregon just blew out - and perennial SEC cellar-dweller Vanderbilt by 3. But that's good enough to be in the Top 10 because SEC.
Now A&M is taking it to Missouri. But even if A&M blows them out, it will look like A&M beat a Top 10 team and Missouri lost to a Top 20 team, even though the only reason either were ranked that high is because they were both given the SEC bias in the initial rankings.

It already seemed like a joke to me.
The SEC bias is why I don’t want to lose the conf crossover games early in the season. Without those it will get even worse.
