Which comports with my assesment of Sumlin. He did well at Houston with an inherited QB, Keenum. Made a big splash at A&M with an inherited QB, Johnny football. Now with his own recruits to acquire and develop he is laying an egg. Remind's me of Denis Francione. Had one good player, LaDannian Tomlison, and parlayed that into coaching gigs at A&M and Bama. Reality caught up with him as it will with Sumlin.

I can't stand it anymore . "You have causality problems. Religion facilitated civilization. The first rules, first public health, etc" Arghhhhh! Human civilization is the consequence of AGRICULTURE! Agriculture gave humans reason to stay in one place and develop communities, rather than a nomadic existence following prey. Intolerance, rather than religion, has been a driving factor in conflicts involving religious beliefs and disbeliefs. When it comes to intolerance, aufan should look in the mirror. The hunter/gathers had civilation before there was agriculture. Agriculture is a consequence of civilization. The domestication of the grasses along with the domestication of animals allowed civilization to expand/grow but the domestication was a technology like all other technology.

All you need to know is that Alchoholism is legally considered a disability in California. There is a procedure that must be followed in accomodating said disability--for example puttting in ramps and bathroom faciities for wheelchairs. USC is said to not have followed this procedure. This is all about the termintion for" cause" clause in the coachs contract and the $12M owed if there is no cause. Look for Sarkesian to recieve something less than the $12M but more than what was offered in an out of court settlement.

I learned this at the University of Delaware in my cultural Anthropology , folklore and folk culture classes Anyone want to give the question a shot ? ...... in the history of human civilization has religion caused more good than bad or bad than good ? Has technology caused more good than bad? yes

sc69er, Technology facilitated civilization, not religion. Religion came about from man's inability to explain natural phenomena lacking scientific knowledge. I learned this at the University of Delaware in my cultural Anthropology , folklore and folk culture classes Anyone want to give the question a shot ? ...... in the history of human civilization has religion caused more good than bad or bad than good ? once again you are getting the cauality reversed.You need a functioning group to develop technology. You need a mechanism to develop the functioning group. religion was one of the mechanisms.

You have causality problems. Religion facilitated civilization. The first rules, first public health, etc sc69er, can you expound on that or dumb it down a little for me ? thanks Pretty simple: accumulated knowledge within a group determined some things were bad for you to eat long before the concept of a pathogen(germ, virus, parasite) evolved. The solutoion was religous deutary rules(Kosher, Halal, and the various Hindu/bhuddist rules). Simular the ban on sex outside of marriage to insure children had a two parents to rear them. Same with most of the religous rules of behavior. They came first, civilazition followed.

Has religion done more good than harm...or the opposite ? You have causality problems. Religion facilitated civilization. The first rules, first public health, etc

If USC beats Stanford they go to Rose Bowl. They will be favored by 6-8 over Iowa

So where does Herman land in the coaching sweepstakes ? Stays at Houstan for another year with a raise to mid level of current successful power 5 coachs salaries. Moves to Austin in 2017 when the Charlie Strong experiment is declared a failure. That will give him a year to shake down the richest program in college sports.

The committee will list Clemson, Alabama, Notre Dame, and either Oklahoma/Oklahoma st/Iowa depending on this weeks game outcome. But what will the final outcome be? Florida is an underdog against Florida st and could lose. Notre Dame is an underdog and will likely lose to Stanford. Iowa is a slight favorite against Nebraska and the corn huskers are just starting the get Rieleys approach to football. Clemson could lose in the ACC CCG to a very good North Carolina. Florida could lose to FSU and beat Alabama in the CCG. Iowa could lose to Nebraska and beat MSU in the CCG. From this vantage point it looks like a very fuzzy crystal ball!

OK Bevo here is my impression of the discussion by the committee. That Stanford team has played 8 power 5 conferemnce teams in 9 games 2 of whom are ranked by our committee. there early season loss was to a power 5 conference team currently ranked 18 by the committee. OK St on the other hand has only played Non power 5 teams OOC . There in conference foes have a combined record , excluding TCU, of 12-24. OSU could win out and not get picked because their opponents have been that bad. If Stanford wins out they will have won a CCG and beaten the #4 ranked team and likely 4 other ranked teams in the process.. They're not going to keep an undefeated Big XII team out.... The only way the PAC 12 gets in is if the Big XII champ has a loss OR ND loses again OR the SEC Champ has 2 losses The PAC 12 does NOT control it's own destiny They jumped tOSU into the playoffs last year and they will do it again. B12 has no CCG, all the other guys get a CCG to play a highly ranked team and show there stuff. Thats all academic, as there is small likelyhood of a B12 undefeated team, say 1 in 3. in 3 shot.

1) Clemson' 2) Bama 3) Ohio State 4) Notre Dame 5) Iowa 6) Baylor 7) Stanford 8) Oklahoma State 9) LSU 10 Utah
Three teams with a loss ranked above Ok State (Bama, ND, Stanford)
I guess I could see Bama and ND... based on their schedule. But, Stanford?? I don't think so. They lost to Northwestern! And, barely beat Washington State. What's so overwhelming about their schedule that would place them above a team that is 9-0, and just recently beat the #4 team?

This has been a great year for specultion as to who will make the final four. here is what I think
1) If tOSU win out they are in. If MSU wins out they are in.
2) If LSU wins out they are in. If Ole Miss wins out the SEC is out!
3) If Clemson wins out they are in. If FSU wins out maybe they are in.
4) If Baylor wins out they are in. If TCU wins out they are in. If Okie st wins out they are in. If Oklahoma wins out they may be in
5) If stanford wins out they are in. If Utah wins out they may be in.
and they Kicker----If Notre Dame wins out they are in!
My predictions!
tOSU
unbeaten b12 team likely TCU
Clemson
Notre Dame!
Two very tough conferences don't make the cut

Common knowledge that Miami isn't a top 3 program 'All Time'. I rate them 7th most powerful since 1973.....when I became a CF junkie. Since the 60's I have Note Dame tOSU Bama USC Texas Oklahoma then I have a bunch of guys like LSU, FSU, Mich, Tenn , Fl, Miami

The PXII is not overrated, just over balanced. Only 2 teams which won't go to a bowl. Either Stanford and Utah go to the final 4 if they win out. BTW the SEC is down to 2 teams and both of them could lose another game or 2. What's their signature win outside of the conference? The toughest team lost to Northwestern....each team has failed to live up to standard Wait until the season plays out. Last years Champ was beat in its first game by a not so hot team yet they just roled over the cream of college football in the playoffs. The problem with the PXII is that all but 2 teams are pretty good.
