Iowa State seem to be on a one team mission to ensure no Big 12 team makes the playoffs.

Da Bears still suck and have done since 85.

The pack are done.

1986 - 14-2. Won Division.
1987 - 11-4. Won Division.
1988 - 12-4. Won Division. Lost NFC Championship game.
1990 - 11-5. Won Division.
1991 - 11-5.
2001 - 13-3. Won Division.
2005 - 11-5. Won Division.
2006 - 13-3. Won Division. Won NFC Championship.
2010 - 11-5. Won Division. Lost NFC Championship game.

They have sucked a lot since 1985 but obviously it's total bullshit to say Da Bears still suck and have done since 85

Good chance they finish above the Packers this season now.

It's a song by Packers fans Seanie, the Bears still suck and will always suck even if they wion many superbowls! Why you ask? Because Da
Bears still suck in the eyes of every Wisconsinite of which I am one and proud of it!

Go Buckeyes!  #6 Ohio State over #2 Penn State 39-38 after mistake-ridden first half.  Superb comeback by QB JT Barrett, and outstanding D line play.

Brilliant game. I was watching Notre Dame getting a very important win over NC State, but was keeping an eye on this one. That last 2 series was unreal from the D line.

This might be the season the CFP is really tested. At the moment you'd say Alabama are they only ones that look certs to be in even if they lose the SEC title game. Georgia should also be in if they only lose that game to Alabama especially if they make it a contest. Then what. If Miami win the ACC undefeated they should be in but if Clemson or NC State win the ACC do they get in? If ND win out they will be in assuming Georgia don't collapse as their only loss would be against a top 4 team by a point. If Ohio State win out they'll be there.  PAC 12 should be out as should the Big 12 at this point.

Will the CFP committee leave out 2 power 5 conferences if ND and Georgia deserve to be there?

Always thought you were from Armagh! Sorry for taking you literally.

Don't talk to me about sucking.

Great weekend in London getting to see my Cardinals live for the first time since 2000, but what a disappointing result and performance. Abandoned the run, went with 5 wides for 3 down in a row when you were just down 0-6. And then absolutely gave up after Palmer got injured.

Still, got to meet Aeneas Williams who was a real legend back when I was a season holder. Met the Owner. It was all positive apart from the actual game itself!

Thinking of next year - how easy to get a ticket and cost?

It's a brilliant weekend. That's my fourth in the 10 years. Fly over early  Saturday morning and give the Saturday at the nfl uk yokes. I was at a stage event and it was well worth the 7 quid in.

You'll get tickets if you register interest when the games are announced. Ours were 80 quid sterling. Highly recommend it but do the organized stuff to get the most out of it. Don't do it as a weekend to show off knowledge of hidden drinking spots in London, you might as well go where the fans are.

Brilliant shootout in Seattle. Wilson never ceases to amaze me and Watson is absolutely the real deal.

Cracking baseball game just finished....Houston 13 LA Dodgers 12 in 10 innings.

Houston up 3 games to 2 heading back to LA.  One more win will do Houston, while LA must win 2 to take the best of seven series.

I am but Green Bay is my adopted City, too many friends and too many memories not to be.

That was incredible...the amount of lead changes was insane. Looking forward to Tuesday evening for the next installment

[gallsman]

The whole narrative was that with Kershaw on the mound, LA would be going back home to win in Game 6. Completely flipped with Houston looking to win behind Verlander.

Awful injury for Zach Miller. Had to have emergency surgery today in an attempt to save his leg from being amputated.
