Level on six points but not on games played, the Netherlands and Poland meet Thursday at De Kuip in a key World Cup qualifier. The Dutch are perfect from two matches and scoring freely. Poland slipped in Finland last time out. Memphis Depay sits on 50 international goals and can break the national record.
Well, folks, let me tell you! The College Football Playoff (CFP) selection is a delightful bit of madness, all about stats, wins, and a dash of good old luck. This crazy ride starts with a committee of 13 football savants who huddle up and rank the top 25 teams weekly, starting around the end of October. They're weighing in the team's wins, losses, strength of schedule, and other important factors like the number of mascot pushups. When the dust settles in mid-December, the top four teams are picked for the playoffs, where they battle it out for the national championship. So, basically, it's like a well-organized brawl with shoulder pads and a whole lot of college pride!
