      <p>I've been to a few Big Ten college football games but always preferred college basketball for atmosphere.</p>
      <p> </p>
      <p>However, attending a game at a venue like The Horseshoe (Ohio State Stadium), Michigan's stadium in Ann Arbor or at Alabama would be a fantastic occasion.  These stadiums have capacities in excess of 100,000 and are always full.</p>
      <p> </p>
      <p>College football is HUGE, both in terms of fan support and revenue.  It's interesting that only about 2% of the players actually make it to the NFL so there is a huge untapped resource for USA rugby.</p>

        <p>Carolina is now 13-0 and Cam Newton must have the MVP wrapped up.... if only cause the NFL won't give the award to Brady.</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p> </p>
        <p>49ers lost to the Cleveland Browns today. Fire everybody within a five-mile radius of the team.</p>

          <p>Cam will prob be MVP.. But man, Brady has carried this team so hard.. It's amazing they're #1 seed atm.. Brady doesn't care about MVPs.. Hes hungry for more Superbowl rings</p>

            <p>'72 Dolphins can crack out the champagne yet again after Carolina lost to Atlanta to end their perfect season. But more importantly I can crack out the champagne after winning the TSF fantasy football comp :)</p>

              <p>Chip Kelly fired by the eagles..</p>
              <p>I wonder if the new coach will make better use of Murray.. Who has been a waste under Kelly.. </p>

                <p>There goes CKap to Eagles now that Kelly has been fired. Bradford will be looking for a new team, most likely as a back up....what a bust. Tbh about Murray - he's a slightly above average RB who had one season behind a stellar o-line.</p>

                  <p>yeh, but i don't know why the eagles picked him up when Murrays style doesn't suit their set up.. it was weird.. </p>

                    <p>And somehow the Broncos end up top seeds and clinch homefield advantage. Which is nice, we get to go 1-and-done at home i guess.... </p>

                      <p>Tomsula at the Niners = goooorne</p>
                      <p>Pettine at the Browns = goooorne (as well as the GM).</p>

                          Jed York should give himself an uppercut for pushing Harbaugh out

                              <p>Expect some more coaching changes in the next few days/weeks (e.g. Coughlin, Pagano). </p>

                              <p>I'd like to see the Panthers win through but Seattle will be tough in the NFC.  Can the Bengals finally win a playoff game?  The Steelers are the darkhorse in the AFC.</p>

                                    <p>As Seattle beat the Cards, a Pack win would have meant the Vikings would play Green Bay again, not the Redskins.   That's the quirk of the NFL seedings and tie breakers.  I know what you mean though as the Redskins were only the best in a woeful NFC East.</p>

                                      <p>Houston, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Green Bay are my picks.</p>

                                        <p>KC to beat Houston.  The Chiefs are the hottest team in the NFL - a 10-game winning streak.</p>
