Championship weekend Games.

we got one of his official visits back in 2014, so we were in contention. But I think a combo of Beamer's waning recruiting and the fact that in 2014 we landed McKenzie, McMillian, Williams the RB rotation was already kinda full, plus we added McClease in 2015.

Definitely don't want Wisconsin to win

Do you want Bama in the playoffs, because this is how you get Bama in the playoffs!

Germany is in Europe and contains many Germans. They speak German there.

Can somebody fact check this guy? Sounds like a load of bologna

What can you guys tell me about Germany.

Glad you asked!

The concept of Germany as a distinct region in central Europe can be traced to Roman commander Julius Caesar, who referred to the unconquered area east of the Rhine as Germania, thus distinguishing it from Gaul (France), which he had conquered. The victory of the Germanic tribes in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (AD 9) prevented annexation by the Roman Empire, although the Roman provinces of Germania Superior and Germania Inferior were established along the Rhine. Following the Fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Franks conquered the other West Germanic tribes. When the Frankish Empire was divided among Charlemagne's heirs in 843, the eastern part became East Francia. In 962, Otto I became the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, the medieval German state.

In the High Middle Ages, the regional dukes, princes and bishops gained power at the expense of the emperors. Martin Luther led the Protestant Reformation against the Catholic Church after 1517, as the northern states became Protestant, while the southern states remained Catholic. The two parts of the Holy Roman Empire clashed in the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), which was ruinous to the twenty million civilians living in both parts. The Thirty Years' War brought tremendous destruction to Germany; more than 1/4 of the population and 1/2 of the male population in the German states were killed by the catastrophic war. 1648 marked the effective end of the Holy Roman Empire and the beginning of the modern nation-state system, with Germany divided into numerous independent states, such as Prussia, Bavaria and Saxony.

After the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815), feudalism fell away and liberalism and nationalism clashed with reaction. The 1848 March Revolution failed. The Industrial Revolution modernized the German economy, led to the rapid growth of cities and to the emergence of the Socialist movement in Germany. Prussia, with its capital Berlin, grew in power. German universities became world-class centers for science and the humanities, while music and the arts flourished. The Unification of Germany was achieved under the leadership of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck with the formation of the German Empire in 1871 which solved the Kleindeutsche Lösung, the small Germany solution (Germany without Austria), or Großdeutsche Lösung, the greater Germany solution (Germany with Austria), the former prevailed. The new Reichstag, an elected parliament, had only a limited role in the imperial government. Germany joined the other powers in colonial expansion in Africa and the Pacific.

Germany was the dominant power on the continent. By 1900, its rapidly expanding industrial economy passed Britain's, allowing a naval race and an aggressive foreign policy. Germany led the Central Powers in World War I (1914–1918) against France, Great Britain, Russia and (by 1917) the United States. Defeated and partly occupied, Germany was forced to pay war reparations by the Treaty of Versailles and was stripped of its colonies as well as Polish areas and Alsace-Lorraine. The German Revolution of 1918–19 deposed the emperor and the various kings and princes, leading to the establishment of the Weimar Republic, an unstable parliamentary democracy.

In the early 1930s, the worldwide Great Depression hit Germany hard, as unemployment soared and people lost confidence in the government. In 1933, the Nazi party under Adolf Hitler came to power and quickly established a totalitarian regime. Political opponents were killed or imprisoned. Nazi Germany's foreign policy aimed to create a Greater Germany which consequently saw the remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936, the annexing of Austria in the Anschluss and parts of Czechoslovakia with the Munich Agreement in 1938 (although in 1939 Hitler annexed further territory of Czechoslovakia), and its invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939 which initiated the Second World War. After forming a pact with the Soviet Union in 1939, Hitler and Stalin divided Eastern Europe. After a "Phoney War" in spring 1940 the German blitzkrieg swept Scandinavia, the Low Countries and France, giving Germany control of nearly all of Western Europe. Only the British Commonwealth and Empire stood opposed. Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941. In Germany, but predominantly in the German-occupied areas, the systematic genocide program known as The Holocaust killed six million Jews, as well as five million others including Poles, Romanies, Russians, Soviets (Russian and non-Russian), and others. In 1942, the German invasion of the Soviet Union faltered, and after the United States had entered the war, Britain became the base for massive Anglo-American bombings of German cities. Germany fought the war on multiple fronts through 1942–1944, however following the Allied invasion of Normandy (June 1944), the German army was pushed back on all fronts until the final collapse in May 1945.

Under occupation by the Allies, German territories were split up, denazification took place, and the Cold War resulted in the division of the country into democratic West Germany and communist East Germany. Millions of ethnic Germans fled from Communist areas into West Germany, which experienced rapid economic expansion, and became the dominant economy in Western Europe. West Germany was rearmed in the 1950s under the auspices of NATO, but without access to nuclear weapons. The Franco-German friendship became the basis for the political integration of Western Europe in the European Union. In 1989, the Berlin Wall was destroyed, the Soviet Union collapsed and East Germany was reunited with West Germany in 1990. In 1998–1999, Germany was one of the founding countries of the eurozone. Germany remains one of the economic powerhouses of Europe, contributing about one quarter of the eurozone's annual gross domestic product. In the early 2010s, Germany played a critical role in trying to resolve the escalating euro crisis, especially with regard to Greece and other Southern European nations. In the middle of the decade, the country faced the European migrant crisis, as the main receiver of asylum seekers from Syria and other troubled regions.

Definitely looking forward to the beer and food, that's for damn sure!

Oh man, been a while since I've seen this one!

That's a damned lie.

The left lane is for passing. Otherwise, move to the right.

Tbh I probably would've opted out of going to this game too. I don't think it's fair to judge their entire program based on this one image even though it's hilarious.

As much as I want this to be their VT 2012 season and them have four or five years of turmoil like we did, I don't see it happening.

So glad I turned it to this game...holy cow it's wild. That little stadium is rocking too!

That is Shane's unit no?

Safe to say they are deep at that position w Michel also.

Yea I am excluding the P5 and UCF

Man we probably would have made it if we beat GT

Forgot that 10-3 osu could drop out of NY6, but they probably have better schedule than Washington, and unlike tcu only lost to Oklahoma once.

It wouldn't be the top 4 that would be the suspenseful reveal, but the other NY6 at- larges.

Incredible foresight! Leg for you!

Maybe bad ass was a better choice? I was trying to express how totally dominant they were.

Because Urban said he didn't. /s

Their real argument is "OSU should be in the playoffs EVERY YEAR because they like them."

Yeah my first thought on reading that was YOU'RE AN ABERRATION DAVID HALE

I mean the Hawks just took them apart that game. Nothing fluky about that win

I'm a fan of just 4 teams because it keeps everything exciting going into the last week of the season and every single weekend still matters. Going to anything more than 4 would diminish that.

I like the 4 better than top 2 that we used to have because it gives that buffer to allow for there to be more than just 2 great teams playing for the title and for things to ultimately get settled on the field rather than by voters.

Don't need the top 16 in a playoff to get to the national champion.

An 11 game schedule is never going to happen. No school is going to want to give up a home game.

The only real problem with this is that Ohio State argued the other position last year, that the best team should get in, not the conference champion.

Agreed. Ohio State will go to the Fiesta and play USC in a Rose Bowl in the desert. I think the Orange takes either Penn State or Wisconsin, whichever is ranked higher. I think Wisconsin.

I can't help you with your personal feelings for USC, however as for UCF I'm not sure what to make of them. It's great they not only won their conference, but went undefeated. I'm all for them in the Peach Bowl, I just think the committee would have a tough time defending SOS. Also weird thing I realized is USC had no bye week until after the UCLA game, which in a weird way I feel should be considered.

FSU with their original QB was probably a lot better than any other FSU opponent had to face.

I don't think the Peach takes Auburn because Auburn just played there last night.
