Week of 1/19 Games Thread

Alabama literally cheats and plays an ineligible player - seriously, you expect me to believe an ALABAMA judge, who's a DONOR to the Alabama athletic department, ruled "fairly and impartially" on essentially whether or not Charles Bediako could rejoin the team...and he decided to rule so that he could play?! - and STILL loses!! Karma. Pure karma.
Also, as much as I hate the NCAA and even tho this joke of a judge's ruling allowed a guy who should never be allowed to suit up for a college team ever again to do just that, the NCAA STILL has the say over who gets into the tournament. They might have just basically been emasculated by a biased judge, but they can still do something about it. And if I'm them, I'm ruling that no game Bediako plays in can count towards Alabama's tournament resume.
College sports is becoming an absolute
show and it's gotten to be beyond ridiculous.

Your best wins looking good is pretty much always more beneficial than your best losses looking good.

To be totally fair, this game had Peacock written all over it at the start of the season. Who thought Nebraska would be rolling like this when the TV schedules were set?

That UConn game still sticks with me. They are not very good. We just laid an egg.

I take your point, but they are clearly putting some theoretically “good” matchups on Peacock intentionally, as well. I think Indiana/Purdue is one, IIRC.

"I can't tell you. Secret."
Yep definitely not comparable, just crazy that 3 different freshman set their school records yesterday!
But also a very comparable baby face in Flemings case!

like it or not (purely rhetorical), that's the point. revenue maximization
You’re correct. Obviously the conference has to throw certain bigger games on Peacock to keep them happy. I actually have minimal issues with Peacock. It’s nice they stream them on YTTV now too.It’s much better knowing you don’t have to worry about other games finishing on time in order to see the beginning of the game you want to see. But obviously when you get a bigger game on Fox or CBS, you’re more likely to get more eyes on that game and potentially better announcers. I think the Wisconsin and Oregon games are our last games this season on Peacock.
Oregon is flat out awful. Injuries have just dismantled their season.
I assume it works like the football games in which there's a game draft. You can rank teams by the quality of the channels they air on and it more or less reads like a list of popularity combined with team quality, and based on that analysis Peacock is considered around FS1-level, if I remember correctly.
The extreme example is like Rutgers gets very few good channel games, they get carried to them by their opponent.
I think I read where Bittle will be back mid Feb.
That may be too Bittle, too late for Oregon.

Oh no what happened to the 'great' Wisconsin. Every one on here was praising them and afraid to play them.
Agree but they might win a game or two!
That trip out west for us is going to a tough one.
