@ESPN_BillC As a Georgia fan, I would take a results trade for the Tennessee (22% win expectancy) and Bama (80% win expectancy) games in a heartbeat

This is actually an interesting thought experiment:
Instead of what actually happened, what if Mizzou beat Bama and lost to Auburn as the stats suggest should have happened? Which reality would annoy Mizzou fans more?

A week after losing with a 72% win expectancy #Mizzou wins with a 26.4% win expectancy. The hat game was indeed as drunk as we thought

@notthefakeSVP If there are ever two segments that are acceptable to cry at, it’s the Otis OBT and Kirk’s Ben tribute. My condolences and my appreciation for your ability to put into words the beauty of dogs.
English
Buddy, if I didn’t get to tape the thing I did for Otis in an empty studio, there would have been ZERO chance. You lead with your heart and that’s always proper. Dogs, man. They live in your heart forever.
Kirk Herbstreit@KirkHerbstreit
I’m sorry I couldn’t properly lead to this beautiful tribute the @CollegeGameDay put together. Really wanted to thank all of you for the avalanche of love and support you’ve shown Ben. It gives me and my family such comfort knowing how he impacted so many peoples lives around the country. He was a beautiful and loving soul.
English
@ESPN_BillC Bill, do you still post individual game analysis (don’t remember what you called them, but had all the efficiency metrics from the game). I really enjoyed those.

@TomFornelli Alright, hear me out. If DG goes first round @dannykanell can’t shower til he wins a game.

I've referred to Dillon Gabriel as "Left-handed Bo Nix" all offseason, so I figured it was about time I wrote why I feel that way, but also about some concerns of where they differ.

@GeorgeFoster72 I went to Collins Hill (got there the year after she graduated), and I still remember them telling us she was 125-3 during her high school career with 3 state championships and a national championship.

If you could build a hooper in a video game… Her.

@KevinMcAlpin But it was 5 minutes faster than that game, so you gotta keep going back. I remember being at a Tim Hudson shutout that was sub 2 hours. Can’t remember the year.
English
At 1 hour 54 minutes, tonight marked the #Braves fastest nine inning game since August 21, 2006...a 3-0 victory over the Pirates at Turner Field in 1 hour 59 minutes.
Smoltz tossed eight scoreless with ten strikeouts while Wickman picked up the save in the ninth.

Mizzou lands with 9 teams it's never shared a conference with. Fla & SC with 7 ACC teams and UCF. Wisconsin in the "Plains" division. ND with no real rival.
Brilliance all around. Congrats for the $750K you probably made for this consulting work. I'd have done better for free.

NEW: An 11-slide "confidential" @TurnkeyZRG pitch deck from February offers new details for the proposed college football "Super League," including how the 70 permanent members would be divvied up among 7 conferences. More from me and @novy_williams: sportico.com/leagues/colleg…

@JoshTheAthletic Maybe it was the angle in the broadcast, but why didn’t Pitts even attempt to catch that ball?
English
Atlanta's first drive ends with a 50-yard Younghoe Koo attempt that comes up short in what is nos a pretty steady snow. Some good -- 21-yard pass to London, 22-yard run by Bijan -- and some bad -- fumbled Wildcat snap by Bijan and missing Pitts deep.
English
@Wes_nship @CFBHeather The logic wouldn’t change, but I don’t think the committee would have used it as a reason to leave out FSU in that scenario. Much easier to leave FSU in when you’re not facing the Bama or Texas dilemma.
English
The committee told @CFBHeather FSU couldn’t win a national championship since Jordan Travis got injured
Would that change if Georgia got in instead of Bama?
Seems like the Noles were on the outs either way
Jacob Plunkett@jacobplunkett
@Wes_nship My take is FSU would’ve been the 4 if Georgia had won. Once Bama was an option, they were going to include Bama, but they couldn’t do that without also including Texas, hence FSU getting screwed.

Not true
The committee was going to hold FSU out regardless based on Travis’s injury
Right?
G@gregorydola6
@Wes_nship This is all on Georgia’s fault all they had to do is win. Them losing F-cked up everything so it’s all The Bulldogs fault.

@GrahamCoffeyDC @GeorgeFoster72 Unlike football, the best teams in baseball win 65% of their games, and the worst teams win 30%. When there’s that little difference, it takes more games to determine the better teams. The problem is the playoffs are so short relative to the regular season, you get random results
English
It’s actually not surprising. There is no more pointless regular season in sports than baseball’s and it’s also the longest regular season in sports. The postseason format/results continue to actively remind viewers to not waste their time watching what comes before it 162x over
The Athletic@TheAthletic
Surprising, but true: The teams with the best records in MLB went 1-13 in the 2023 #Postseason ◻️ Braves: 104 wins, eliminated in NLDS ◻️ Orioles: 101 wins, eliminated in ALDS ◻️ Dodgers: 100 wins, eliminated NLDS ◻️ Rays: 99 wins, eliminated in WC ◻️ Brewers: 92 wins, eliminated in WC
English
@CAEZMEH @timbhealey I mean, yeah. That’s basically all baseball playoffs are. Who gets hot at the right time. The goal is to be consistently good so that you make the playoffs every year and give yourself the chance to be that team that gets hot. How often does the best team win the World Series?
English
@jacobplunkett @timbhealey And that was a total fluke. They basically got hot at the right time. That was closest thing to 06 Cardinals since then
English
The degree to which fans and little stuff got under the Braves’ skin in this series was fascinating. For all their regular-season excellence, losing in the Division Series to the Phillies two years in a row feels like something that will leave a mark on their October psyche.

@FelipeCar Could have brought him on for 20 minutes at the end of the match just to give fans the experience if they didn’t want him to log a full 90.

Agree. I believe there was a plan in place. Martino said Messi would miss three games due to international duty.

@PaulTenorio “But can he do it on a hot, muggy night in Fort Lauderdale?”
English
It is 8:21 AM and the “real feel” heat index is 110 degrees (43.3 Celsius) in Fort Lauderdale area ahead of Messi’s debut tonight. Game temps should drop to 83, real feel 93 (33.9 C) at kickoff.
English
@JustinCToscano I thought we screwed up watching it live, but on second look the left fielder just made a really nice play to throw an off-balance, semi-blind strike to the cutoff man. Wash threw up the stop sign when he saw the throw, and just happened to be too late.
English
It looked like Ron Washington waved Matt Olson around, then tried to stop him.
Nonetheless, the Braves took themselves out of a scoring opportunity.
English
@shkeller55 @J_SamJones 5 shots, but only 3 were on target
English
@jacobplunkett @J_SamJones The statistician said 3 goals on 5 shots. Not that it makes it any better. 😡
