Alabama and Clemson lost today so that bodes well for our playoff chances down the stretch. Next week I think it will be Georgia #1, Ohio St #2, Michigan #3, TCU #4, Tennessee #5, Oregon #6. Gotta win out and hope for a TCU and Oregon loss down the stretch. That LSU win is looking mighty good at the moment.

I would imagine they would slot us ahead of Oregon no matter what due to that embarrassing blowout Week 1 but you never know. Better to be safe and have them lose another to make it less dicey.

On November 6 in Baseball History...​
  • 1938 - The three DiMaggio brothers play together for the first time, making up an outfield for an all-star team in a West Coast charity game.

  • 1950 - Branch Rickey signs a five-year contract as executive vice president/GM with the Pirates.

  • 1969 - Denny McLain and Mike Cuellar finish dead even in American League Cy Young Award voting. McLain held an edge in wins (24-23), complete games (23-18), shutouts (9-5), and innings (325-290.2), but Cuellar has a stingy 2.38 ERA and batters hit just .204 against him.

  • 1970 - Jim Perry of the Twins wins the American League Cy Young Award in a close race. Perry, who won twenty-four games during the season, receives fifty-five points to edge out Dave McNally (47), Sam Mcdowell (45), and Mike Cuellar (44).

  • 1974 - Mike Marshall becomes the first relief pitcher to win the Cy Young Award. Ironman Marshall set major league records with one-hundred six appearances and two-hundred eight innings pitched in relief for the National League champion Dodgers.

  • 1976 - Former Twins relief ace Bill Campbell becomes the first of the free agent crop to sign with a new team, joining the Red Sox with a contract calling for $1 million over four years.

  • 1984 - Willie Hernandez wins the American League Most Valuable Player Award, joining Rollie Fingers as the only relief pitchers to be named Most Valuable Player and Cy Young Award winner in the same season.

  • 1990 - Braves outfielder David Justice wins the National League Rookie of the Year award. He hit .282 with 28 home runs, 20 coming after he replaced Dale Murphy in right field in early August.

  • 1996 - Todd Hollandsworth continues a Dodger tradition. The outfielder is the fifth consecutive Dodger and 16th player in franchise history to be named National League Rookie of the Year.

  • 1997 - Milwaukee is back in the National League 31 years after the Braves left the city for Atlanta. The Brewers are the first team to ever switch from the American League to the National League. With an expansion team joining each league in 1998, the move keeps an even number of teams in both leagues to allow interleague play to occur at selected times of the season.

Didn't they (whoever that is) say this same thing this time last year too?

He’s a hack.
“Caesars Sportsbook has installed the Dodgers as the favorites at +500, followed by the reigning champion Houston Astros at +550.”
One sportsbook’s odds does not a consensus make. Pretty damn close too. The next three contenders are all at +800.

Really helped that Clemson and Alabama lost. I think we are in great position to make it into the CFP if we handle business these last three games.

BOOM .... there it is. We're being set up to win out pretty good this year. I won't Purdue again sometime down the road. I'd love to smash them like a bug hitting the wind shield @ 90mph.
I'll gladly take a 11-1 regular season anyday. We were 7-5 last year. With this new crop of talent coming in for next year we good for awhile.

Anybody that is disappointed with this regular season should have their Vol Card removed. If we are going to be back to winning 10+ games every season then we will be in the CFP conversation every single year with our strength of schedule.
