Predicting the Playoff

Alright fellas, with it officially being 6 games into the college football season, I thought it might be fun to see the Bunker take a stab at predicting the playoff. Would love to see @Docdumpsta @Powerman26 @FIG-JAM @hunter48 @crococile22 @wareaglegsu @warjags @AUDUckhunter @Boisgreat and several others in this thread giving me your take as projection is always the most difficult/subjective part of college football in my opinion. Here’s my my best guess, andI look forward to seeing the Bunker’s thoughts as well:

Top 4 Seeds

1. Texas - I think it’s likely possibility they go undefeated because of the way their schedule sets up especially with UGA at home, but on the road in A&M could be more difficult than I’m giving it credit for atm.

2. Ohio State - Yes I know they just lost to Oregon, but my guess is these two teams see each other again in Indianapolis and it’s a different outcome.

3. Clemson - Really like the way Dabo has his team playing atm and I think Miami is playing with fire the way Ward has turned the ball over pretty recklessly at times. Both will be playoff teams, but I like Clemson over Miami in the ACC championship game.

4. BYU - Easily the biggest surprise on this list given the perception of the program in the preseason, but hats off to the boys from Provo as they play a physical brand of football.

Five through Eleven Seeds

5. Oregon - Really like their schedule the rest of the way, I just believe on a neutral field Ohio State gets it done in the Big Ten championship game.

6. Georgia - UGA will be likely the most battle tested team in this part of the bracket with remaining games against Texas, Ole Miss, and Tennessee left on the schedule.

7. Penn State - Big win for the Nittany Lions yesterday, but I think they’ve got two loses on the schedule and because of that I’ve got them slotted behind UGA atm.

8. Miami - I think the Canes go undefeated against what they have left in the regular season, but as I mentioned earlier I believe Clemson is the better team right now and wins the ACC championship game for the top 4 seed.

9. Alabama - I think I’ll get some pushback here and understandably so as Bama hasn’t looked particularly good over the last two games. That said I think Tennessee is not as good as most thought they’d be and LSU is a flawed team as well, and those are the two hardest teams left on the schedule. Alabama is good for at least one more loss, but I think sneaks into the playoff as a flawed but 10-2 team all the same.

10. LSU - I struggled here as I also considered SMU and Iowa State in this spot, but I’m going to bet on this team continuing to improve down the stretch and only losing one more game along the way. Given the number of helmet games and ranked opponents that the Bayou Bengals play over the course of the year, I think they get the nod over two teams with likely better records but not nearly as difficult a slate of games played.

11. Notre Dame - The Fighting Marcus Freeman's have a real chance to go 11-1 given what’s left on their schedule, with USC being the only team other than maybe Army or Navy (because of the triple option) that can give them a scare. While I don’t think they’ve had to play the schedule that others have, Notre Dame is a massive brand and if they go 11-1 they’ll be in the playoff.

12 Seed

12. Tulane - Love the way Jon Sumrall has his boys dialed in atm and I think Boise is good for a loss to UNLV in a couple of weeks. So give me the Tulane Green Wave to represent the G5 and likely a more difficult opponent than Oregon wants to play in the 1st round of the playoff.

This thread is to let the Trumpers know where the election stands right now…

…since you’re in a right wing bubble. Yes, these could change. I’ll let you know when they do.

NV & MI look like Kamala is leading as of now.

The next state I feel the good about based on some recent polls including NYT/Siena is PA.

WI is the state that could be the hardest of the rust belt states to win. Less minorities than PA and MI. Always super close. Any state with Ron Johnson as a senator is going to be harder to win than PA and MI. I have lived in PA before and as Carville said “It’s AL without Pittsburgh and Philly.”

Out of the sunbelt states, I have no idea. I think GA might be the hardest to win followed by AZ. NC is a mystery to me. Trump did himself no favors endorsing that nut job for Governor. Toss up imo.

The closest states will be WI and NC unless Harris wins in a landslide on the EC side of things.

One interesting thing Nate Silver has in his model is that it’s so close that one side has a 40% chance of sweeping all 7 swing states.

I remember being told on here this wasn't happening...

I could dig up the old thread but will just start a new one. Expect more of this with the wink and nod open border policies from the Border Czar.



Officials from Aurora, about nine miles east of Denver, told Fox News Digital the Tren de Aragua gang has gained a strong foothold in their city, commandeering apartment complexes and drumming up violent crime and sex trafficking.

"We currently have entire complexes under gang control — complexes where staff have been beaten up, they've been threatened, their families have been threatened [and] complexes where there are no staff left on the property," Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky said. "These complexes are being run by this Tren de Aragua gang.

"They start brokering apartments themselves when someone leaves out of fear or whatever. They go in and take pictures of the apartment themselves. Then, I've been told, within hours, a Venezuelan family moves in.

"Parts of the city are absolutely under this gang control. The local media is downplaying this," she said. "I believe politics is being played with people's lives. ... Nothing is being done to help the American citizens that are being trapped under this gang's control."

Anyone been through retinal detachment and surgery?

Edit: after meeting with the surgeon this afternoon, I will not be required to lay face down for an extended period of time like many others I've known. And my surgery is next week instead of tomorrow.



Orig: Out of the blue I lost 80% of my vision in one of my eyes yesterday. It's like there's a curtain where you can't see through it at all, but can see around it OK

I know the medical supply companies have rental equipment like a massage table and mirrors where you can watch TV. I'm thinking I will need two of them one so I can be outside on my porch because I would go nuts being inside for that long.

Just wondering how people have survived that. I'll be going freaking crazy. And also curious about success rates.

Worst case is, I'll have good vision in one eye and I can live with that just fine. Edit: he said because of how bad mine is torn I might not have 2020 or better but it should be close in time especially once I have the cataract surgery. Assuming I don't develop scar tissue

All those promoting the lie Israel is targeting kids, will never complain about Hamas using them as suicide bombers...

Or training them to do so in elementary school.... not a word, not a peep.

And they don't make it a secret, they scream it across the news.... and no one bats an eye. But let Israel take out a house full of hamas terrorists, and tehy lose their minds....


It has NOTHING to do with care over any child dying, just like @gatorz1209 saying he doesn't care about slave labor used to make his toys, and brags about not caring, then all of a sudden has this feigned moral outrage against Israel regurgitating Hamas propaganda - when it's hamas that murders children, has targeted them for 20 years with 15,000 missiles fired at Israeli schools, villages and hospitals.... never a word of concern about that... @tigerhelmet same.

A Candle in the Wind: The story of the Kamala Harris presidency


Tears will taste so great!

Right wing polls flooding the poll market. Wow…

Also, 9 of the last 12 PA polls were gop polls before today.

I think republicans are doing this for two reasons. First, they think it motivates their voters. Secondly, it gives them more ammo on the election being rigged. I also assume they make more money this way. The funny thing is the Harris campaign wants to be the underdog as they don’t want a repeat of 2016 when so many Dems and left leaning voters dudjt think he could win.

That is all. I’m here to educate, not to agitate. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
