Sorry to hear about some of your friends and relatives.
That is what makes it a great tailgate, we give them crap, they give us crap and when the game is over, my cousin brings over a large pile of ribeye that we grill, eat, drink, and talk about the game. Maybe I am older, but in the end, its just a game. I value my friends and family a hell of a lot more than who wins the Cyhawk trophy.
The CFP will continue to have only 4 teams until the SEC is left out, then it will be changed, not for the next year, but for that year.
The CFP committee needs to even things up, and say to play in the games, you must schedule during the regular season 10 P5 games, or you do not qualify for the championship. Plan and simple, its a crime that Alabama plays less P5 games each year, during the regular season than Iowa State. Really its a JOKE.
