1.  Alabama.  Top team in the country and they get to host a first round game on 1/1/15.  Well, it's the Sugar Bowl but it's a home game for the SEC.

2.  TCU.  So sue me.

3.  Mississippi.  Because ...... SEC.

4.  Ohio State.  59-0 with a third string QB.  Winner of the SB wins the title

5.  Oregon.  Best of the West and I SO hope they dismantle the Florida State Winstons.

6.  Florida State.  Actually 17th.  Ducks beat em by double digits.  Then lose a squeaker in Arlington.

And I'm pickin' the Purple Raiders to take home the Gagliardi Trophy again.

with all this talk of Grubering, sadly we've lost sight of the FIRST great Gruber!  From McHale's Navy:

As Talleyrand said of the Bourbons .... they have learned nothing and forgotten nothing.  Obama has learned damend little and forgotten whatever is inconvinient.

Obama on Garner: 'My Tradition is Not to Remark on Cases'

Remember back when the Elphs were pro-black and the Donks were pro-slavery?  Many of us do.  NONE of us are in the MSM of course. And then there's this:

STEPHEN GREEN: “Whatever the Democrats’ history might have been, they are now fully the party of welfare dependency for the shiftless and crony capitalist dependency for the connected. That’s not a majority coalition — if the GOP is smart with its wedge issues, and cuts out the ridiculous and self-defeating Shutdown Theater.”

Maryland’s Assistant Attorney General For Consumer Protection Falls For Urban Legend.

The ATF’s Fake Retail Stores, Bad Behavior… And Why It Only Came Out Because They Failed To Pay Rent.

Elizabeth Drew: The Firing of Chuck Hagel.

While I had come to admire Hagel as a thoughtful man, there’s a question of whether anyone can make the leap from a senator’s office—with an average staff size of 34 people, to the Pentagon, the world’s largest institution, which employs about 26,000 personnel on site, plus about a half million overseas, plus an active military of about 1.5 million men and women. In general, transitions from Capitol Hill to a cabinet office, in either party, haven’t been markedly successful. The Pentagon has been a sinkhole of failures.

So if the transition from Senator to SecDef is too much, how about from Senator to Commander In Chief? The evidence would seem to support Drew’s position there, too . . . .

THOMAS CROWN: Ways To Make White People Take Racism Seriously.

By now, we should all know what social justice means, is and does. But for those of you who have either kept your head in the sand or tried to ignore the fad and hoped it would go away, social justice, according to this urban dictionary definition, which is probably the most accurate, is:

Promoting tolerance, freedom, and equality for all people regardless of race, sex, orietntation, national origin, handicap, etc… except for white, straight, cisgendered males. Fuck those guys, they’re overprivileged no matter what.
“In the name of social justice, check your privilege.”

Or maybe this definition is just as accurate:

Mob violence, usually associated with a victim group.
1969 Stonewall riots.
1992 LA riots.

DON SURBER: Do Not Rebuild In Ferguson.
Backed by looters and violent people, liberals are telling the American middle class they do not want you. They want an America where you are either a billionaire knocking down tax subsidies, or jobless and on federal assistance. . . . The looters won, thanks to President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and Governor Jay Nixon — Democrats all — who ignored the truth and the facts of the case to fan the flames of violence, across the country. People have begun calling these the Obama Riots. Expect more.

Obama to provide funding for 50,000 police body cameras. Though, sadly, as someone on Twitter said, the first thing that occurs is that an Obama donor is in the body-camera business.

TWITTER SUMMARY OF THE STATE OF DEBATE

CHARLES C.W. COOKE: Want to Limit the Use of Police Force? Limit the State: Progressives refuse to see the connection between government and force.

Tonight, Arizone takes on Oregon.  The Ducks are good and out for blood.  They'll get it, a double digit win, and guarentee themselves a shot at the title.

 TCU's slid into the top four and should stay there.  And that's a good thing.  If they needed a qualitywin to make it this wasn't going to be it.  I'm fine with them getting a bid.

Alabama, the best team in the country, will dominate an also-ran Missou and get a spot in the final four.

The Ramblin' Wreck will put an end to this long national nightmare by beating the 'Noles.  It'll be close but with the Noles it's ALWAYS close.  Which makes a spot available. 

I like Mississippi but a two or . three loss team ain't gonna make it.   Ditto for Georgia, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, MSU, and Auburn.  Baylor?  Not with TCU getting in.  SoS is the worst of any team considered in this piece.  Damn you WVa.  LSU and Auburn are quality teams but played the wrong games at the wrong time.  

Which brings us to Ohio State.  Who will lose a squeaker tomorrow to Wisconsin, who isn't good enough to crack the final four.

So who gets the fourth bid?  How about we give a bye to 'Bama, watch TCU play Oregon in a purple and green nightmare, winner to face the Tide.?
