I'd have ND in there rather than UVa. I don't think I'd have IU that high. I think OSU will handle them easily in the Big Ten championship

“The CFP rankings come out on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET for the first release, and the time can vary for subsequent weeks. The first ranking of the 2025 season will be on Tuesday, Nov. 4, with subsequent rankings released on Tuesdays at various times throughout November and early December, followed by the final selection on Sunday, Dec. 7 at noon ET.”

I agree with this. What do you all think?

MLB is under scrutiny for a rule that allows the two-way player to continue to hit, even after being pulled from the game as a pitcher.

Not everyone is thrilled with Ohtani’s versatility. Prior to the postseason, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported that opposing teams believe the current rule gives the Dodgers an unfair advantage.

“Teams are upset that the Dodgers will have one more pitcher than everyone else on their roster since there’s a special exemption for Shohei Ohtani as a two-way player,” Nightingale wrote on Sept. 21. “If Ohtani is a starting pitcher, he can remain in the game as a DH once he’s replaced on the mound.

“But if he starts the game as a DH and pitches out of the bullpen, the Dodgers would lose the DH once his relief appearance is over. The only way Ohtani could stay in the game would be moving to the outfield, where he hasn’t played since 2021.”

One fan points out, "This shouldn’t even be a hot take, but the fact that baseball changed a specific rule for Shohei Ohtani just so he could play as both a starting pitcher and designated hitter in the same game is completely unfair, and I’m not sure why it hasn’t been talked about more."

Everyone has something to bitch about. I didn't complain when Houston cheated and won World Series. I didn't complain about the Patriots cheating and I didn't complain when Saban bought every 5* high school football player... People need to grow the hell up and deal with stuff...

No one's accusing the Dodgers of cheating. They followed the rules. Folks are suggesting the rule should be changed back to what it was before 2022

Blue Jays have to deal with the Shohei Ohtani rule, which is unfair to everyone in MLB but Dodgers

It really is just for one player.
