Some complaints about strength of schedule from “Power Five” conferences as far as College Football playoff seeding. But fact remains, most top schools don’t want to play top independents for their out of conference games.

Georgia played University of Alabama- Birmingham and Georgia Southern for out of conference games. Alabama played Mercer and New Mexico State.

Michigan played Western Michigan and Northern Illinois

Amy Klobuchar said this morning there have been over 160 carveouts to the filibuster. Voting Rights needs to be the next one.

For all who love “Miracle on 34th Street” as much as I do, imagine a 2021 version with GOP in charge: Louis DeJoy’s post office would have never delivered Kris Kringle’s letters. And Republicans would probably have made the evil Dr. Sawyer surgeon general.
