If you're following the #CFBMarbleGame, Nate has posted the updated standings. Thanks Nate!
*All FBS teams start season with 100 marbles, plus 10 bonus marbles for every P5 team on schedule

Win at home/neutral site, take 20% of opponent's marbles; win on the road, take 25%

Fractional marbles are rounded to nearest integer.

That's it, that's the whole algorithm.
**yes, unbelievable Iowa has climbed all the way to #24 this week, but that's not because I have a thumb on the scale. That's just the algorithm talking.
BTW, here's next week's marble counts for all possible game outcomes (Top 25 only). No need to await a judgment from the mysterious CFP committee of entrail readers.

Not since William Randolph Hearst has journalism been so dogged in revealing the threat of the Yellow Menace

100 years ago Harvard had a stealth quota policy to limit the number of Jewish admissions. In 1926 Harvard's defense, at least they were embarrassed by it and not defending it in court.

In retrospect, perhaps $20 billion would've been better invested in lottery tickets than magic beans from two autistic band nerds Image
*knock knock*

"Hi <giggle giggle> we're raising money <giggle> to save the world."

"Please elaborate."

"We buy magic beans and <giggle> flip them for more magic beans, and then give you some of the extra beans, then sell the rest for a trillion dollars. For <giggle> Earth."
"Earth?"

"For the Earth problems <giggle> and so forth."

"How much are you looking for?"

"20 mill..."

"billion dollars <giggle>. You can trust us, we drive a Toyota and sleep in bean bags and stuff. See <giggle> here we are on the cover of Fortune magazine."

How's it going, Badgers Image
*Iowa won by 2 touchdowns despite gaining only 146 yds in total offense. Apparently this was an all-time D-1 record for fewest yards gained in a win (at least going back to 1980)
At this point I'm like fuck it, I want to see Iowa win a game while having -50 yards in offense just to watch people tear their hair out more

I can report that an absolutely hideous waste of a 2005-14 Ford Mustang is not "up my alley"
There are very few cars I can say I truly hate, but every time I see an innocent car remade into some moron's idea of a Mercedes SSK "neoclassic," I just want to send it to the crusher and put it out of its misery
The faux "neoclassic" car thing dates back to the 1970s, based on the premise that spending $50k to turn an $8k car into an $8k car makes solid financial sense

Bonjour mes amis! Today's episode of #DavesCarIDService is brought to you by Jean-Charles AMC Paris. Drop in for a test drive of the new 1975 Pacer and find out why it's the car for junk in the trunk! Image
Honestly I can't determine if that is a real car ad or a parody. AMC did had a partnership with Renault to sell the (ugh) Le Car in USA during the 70s, so maybe the Pacer made it to Paris. But I'm leaning it's an ad for a Parisian Vargas-style cheesecake artist. Image
and apologies for the gratuitous ribaldry, I will tell my advertising sales team to seek more family-friendly automotive sponsorships in the future.
