49ers ,  Eagles upset   35-13 ,  Jalen Hurts back in the game

que sera sera 

Lots of talk about lots of different things coming up.  That's just one of them.  Something will have to be done w/the addition of teams into the B1G and other conferences.   When I mentioned the other day that as of Thursday there were 60 QB's hitting the portal was true.  It's honestly getting crazy and it's all boiling down to the money.    They ALL want part of the cash cow.  Those kids are driving Porsches in college as a result of the money they're being paid.  It's ALL about the money but will the country support their favorite football teams?  That remains to be seen and is the crux of it all.

Will they go to a 12 team playoff next year?

@Travis In Austin Texas is hittin on all 8 cylinders w/that portal transfer from OSU.  Another Joe Burrow?  Quinn Ewers is a great kid and a lot of Buckeyes wish he were back in Cbus.

I guess the committee wanted to get out of Texas alive and put UT in there? Actually, heard a lot of chatter that even though no No. 7 team had made it to top 4, this year Texas really deserved it.    T

Per @ronajon request up above, his second  plea in this thread, I have cleaned this up.   If he wants more information about it me can request (or pm) at appropriate time.    @ronajon I can tell you from personal experience this:   1. If you make a change and do a sighted listening test,  you will almost always hear a change, and typically, we are wired in such a way that the change will be a “noticeable improvement.” The engineering science behind that is beyond question. PWK has also written about this “placebo effect.. Our brains tell the s there is a change in sound, even if there isn’t, it’s what keeps snake oil alive Audio.   2. If you have make a change, and do a blind listening test (you will help the of a friend), then you have a more better chance of determining whether the change made a difference, and whether you prefer it.    3. For crossover networks, I have found that 30+ years caps, in double blind testing (one updated XO vs. original) always made a difference in sound, and always a perceived improvement.    4. For 15-25 year old caps, I listened to two different sets, blind, one there was no difference, the other there was a slight difference.   5. For 15, 12 and 8 year old caps, blind, 4 people, no difference, or if they noticed a difference on repeated test, they were choosing at no better than chance, 50-50.    That’s all I can tell you, not the most scientific, but that’s the truth.    I have seen Dean, repeatedly, tell people in this Forum, and others, depending on the type of caps, XO, etc. they don’t need new caps.    If you do decide to update your caps, I highly recommend doing one first, and some serious A/B. I’m f possible, hooked up by a friend so you don’t know which has original, and the other has updated. 

Why didn't they have it early in the season?  Oh wait, Texas beat Bama the second game of the season.  Time for Nick to go to work then I guess.  Oh snap!  Bama is 12-1 and Texas is 12-1 and they're in the final 4?  Yet Florida State is 13-0 and ranked 5 because they lost their super star QB due to a leg injury?  Ok, I get that but what I don't get is   That sounds about right or am I missing something?  😂
