With all the advancements in metrics, analytics, and even AI, someone please explain to me why we still rely on a subjective panel — many with ties to certain universities or conferences — to decide the @CFBPlayoff teams. Make it make sense. @espn @PatMcAfeeShow @B1Gfootball 🤷♂️

Funny thing about this. Coming into the season Indiana’s pre season SOS ranking was 49. Tennessee’s was 68.
It’s not Indiana’s fault every team they’ve played has underperformed expectations. Or maybe it is Indiana’s fault because they’ve beat everybody so bad they’ve ruined em

@Nickdonalds @kenright21 @indiana_edits Yeahhhhhh I don't think any SEC team will ever have an easy schedule. Especially not the 106th ranked schedule.

@ringer @ryenarussillo The problem with the clip is he talks about Texas’ “last season” and Georgia’s “seasons”. This is a 1-year snapshot view. Using your own logic of history, IU has beat both team who played for the National Championship last season, which is pointless.

“I’m over all of it.”
@ryenarussillo says we need to stop pretending Indiana’s undefeated season puts it on par with some SEC schools—even ones with multiple losses.

@TheMopLady The entire operations, from parking to concessions to restrooms to the product on the field is poorly conceived & executed even worse. Yet they have the audacity survey season ticket holders referencing elite programs & gauging the willingness to spend $300 per seat per game

This man's name is Rick Rescorla.
22 years ago today, Rick disobeyed orders, and saved 2700 lives.
Rick was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. He warned that the Towers' basements were vulnerable to attack.
His warnings fell on deaf ears.
Then the 1993 attack happened, and people started listening to him.
After that attack, Rick implemented regular evacuation drills, using his megaphone to direct the thousands of employees out of their offices, down the stairwells, and out of the building to safety.
Born in Cornwall, Rick would sing Welsh and Cornish songs from his megaphone, as he directed the employees out of the building.
He would routinely tell all of the employees: in an emergency, no matter what chaos is happening around you, no matter what anyone tells you, leave your offices, go down the stairwells, and leave the building.
Rick told his wife Susan that he suspected another attack on the World Trade Center would happen, this time by air.
And 22 years ago today, on September 11, 2001, that attack happened.
When the first plane hit the North Tower, the Port Authority announced over the South Tower's speaker system "Please do not leave the building. This area is secure."
Rick ignored them.
"The dumb sons of b------s told me not to evacuate," he said to his best friend Dan. "They said it's just Building One. I told them I'm getting my people the f--k out of here."
And so Rick picked up his megaphone as he had done so many times before, told his employees not to listen to the orders, and directed them out of the building.
His Cornish songs helped keep their nerves calm as they evacuated, even after the second plane hit their Tower.
Once he had successfully evacuated his employees, Rick went back to look for survivors.
But first, he called his wife Susan.
"Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I've never been happier. You made my life."
Rick rushed back to the South Tower.
That was the last time anyone saw him alive.
All but 6 of the more than 2700 Morgan Stanley employees survived.
Had they obeyed the Port Authority, they would all be dead.
Thankfully, they listened to Rick instead.
Rest in Peace, Rick. Thank you for your service.
