    SMU/FSU has been a good game, some good offense and some good defense at times.

    17-10 at the half, SMU leading.

    I could not stay awake due to the power outage delay. Appears MSU was fortunate to win the game late with that field goal, but they were not very sharp either winning 27-24.

    I didn't make it to the end either Don. I did think from what I saw that SMU has a good team

    Probably off topic, but I am extremely glad the Gators did not get Kiffin as our coach. Very happy with Summrall at this point and expect him to work out well for us in the long run.

    If the SEC boots them out, I am sure the Big 12 will take them since who could pass up the opportunity to have Texas Tech and LSU in the same conference.

    What! They don’t trust the secret clock that we had in the replay booth? At least they could credit our program evolving from signs to time stealing.

    Leaders of the College Football Playoff on Tuesday agreed to open a 30-day negotiating window with ESPN, signaling their greatest interest yet in a 24-team CFP field that could begin as soon as 2027, sources told ESPN.

    While those within the room insist this is not a commitment to a 24-team field at this time, the move does indicate that the Big Ten and SEC now agree it's worth a discussion with the event's sole rights holder to see what the value of it would be.

    Just my opinion but 24 is too many.

    I agree, but I want my team to have a chance, however small in a down year. If it's stuctured correctly, it could evolve into someyhing like basketball. The lowest seeded teams who never before couldn't have had a sniff will get a chance to compete. Unlike basketball, there likely wouldn't be shocking upsets, if any. Did I forget to mention that it probably would lead to a huge increase in revenue?

    Seems to be the model that the FCS has settled on, I think they've had 24 for awhile now so we should be able to learn alot from their experiences. Some interesting results.....of the 22 finalists over the last 11 years, 15 were either #1 or #2. Only twice have teams outside of the top 16 made the finals and every champion in the last 11 years has been seeded in the top 4. I do like the prospect of more on campus games particularly in late November/early December which should be particulary welcoming to the north for all of our southern friends ;)
