Coaches from 103 of the 128 FBS schools voiced their opinion in an ESPN poll about the College Playoff system. 44% of those coaches would prefer an 8 team playoff system while 29% were okay with the playoff system now and 17 % wanted to expand to a 16 team playoff.
The coaches who want to expand to 8 teams would like to see the Conference Champions from the Power 5 conferences, (ACC, Big 12, Big 10, SEC and Pac 12) automatically in and the next 3 highest ranking schools make it.
An 8 team playoff would make more sense. Just this week Jeff Long, said that the difference between #4 and #7 teams was very narrow. An additional game for the playoffs might mean that conferences would play one less season game which might mean less of the "easy" non conference schedules that some conferences are accused of scheduling. It could also mean a conference championship game for the big 12 to eliminate Co-Champions as we are likely to have with Baylor/TCU this year.
All-in-all it will come down to the money. Given enough money even ESPN, which is in the first year of a 12 year deal for the current system, might consider an 8 team playoff.

Red Sox Make Offer To Sandoval
The Boston Red Sox have offered Pablo Sandoval, of the World Champion San Francisco Giants, a 5 year 95 million dollar contract.
Sandoval would immediately solve the third base problems for the Sox. Pablo hit 16 home runs and drove in 73 for the Giants in 2014. The hitter friendly Fenway Park would suit Sandoval's line drive spray hitting style. The Sox have offered a 5 year deal while Sandoval and his agent would prefer a 6 year contract.
They Giants have said they would love to keep Sandoval but they let him explore free agency without making him an offer. The team most likely wanted to know what the market would see as an appropriate price for Sandoval. Now the Giants see approximately what it will take to keep Pablo on the Giants roster in 2015.
The Blue Jays and the Padres have both shown interest in the career .294 hitter.

Charros Drop Game 1 In Mexicali 6-2
Jalisco dropped the opening game of a three game set in Mexicali on Friday night by a 6-2 score. The turning point in the game happened in the 3rd inning when the Charros' relievers gave up 4 runs after getting the first two outs.
Mexicali started off the scoring in the bottom of the 1st. With two outs, Charros starter, Juan Delgadillo, issued a walk to Dave Sappelt who scored on a triple by Luis Juarez. The Aguilas jumped out to an early 1-0 lead.
Jalisco tied the game at 1all in the top of the 2nd on a solo home run by Jose Felix, his first of the year.
In the bottom of the third, Juan Delgadillo got the first two batters to fly out to center. At this point, Juan Navarrete brought in Charros reliever Ken Sigman to replace Delgadillo. Sigman immediately gave up a double to Josh Whitesell and a single to Humberto Cota that scored Whitesell. Sigman threw a wild pitch to move up the runner and then walked Ricardo Serrano. Chris Roberson followed the walk with a single to right that scored Cota. Manuel Flores was called on to relieve Sigman. Gil Velazquez doubled off Flores to drive in Serrano and Roberson. Justin Greene grounded out to third to end the inning but the damage was done. The Aguilas had a 5-1 lead after 3 innings.
The Aguilas scored again in the bottom of the 6th. With one out, Gil Velazquez singled and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Justin Greene. Walter Ibarra singled to plate Velazquez and Mexicali led 6-1.
Brendan Harris singled to lead off the 9th for Jalisco. Ivan Araujo entered the game as a pinch runner for Harris. Japhet Amador grounded out to first base moving Araujo to second. A wild pitch got Araujo to third and he came home on a single by Jose Felix. The Aguilas lead had been cut to 6-2 but the Charros would not score again and Mexicali had won the game.
Ken Sigman took the loss for Jalisco. Coming on in relief of starter Juan Delgadillo in the 3rd, Sigman gave up 4 runs on three hits and a walk without recording an out. In this game, manager Juan Navarrete deserves a loss too as he replaced Delgadillo too early. Navarrete has had the quick hook all year. Javier Solano got the win for Mexicali, his 5th of the year, throwing a 4 hitter through 7 innings of work.
Jose Felix had 2 RBIs and a run scored, including a home run while going 2 for 4. Edson Garcia was 1 for 3 and Brendan Harris went 2 for 2 with 2 walks.

Running Back Ben Tate Claimed Off Waivers by Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings claimed former Cleveland Browns running back, Ben Tate, off the waiver wire on Wednesday.
Tate will be paid $353,000 as the Vikings part of his salary for 2014 and $46,900 for each game he remains on the Vikings 46 man roster.
Adrian Peterson, unless he wins an appeal, has been suspended for the remainder of the season by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. While waiting on word of his suspension, the Vikings have been using rookie Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata to fill in for Peterson. McKinnon is averaging 4.9 yards a carry while Asiata has 6 rushing TDs and 1 receiving touchdown.
On the face of the pickup, it appears to be a bad decision by the Vikings front office as Tate's performance for the Browns, where he was used primarily as a third down back, has not been as productive nor produced the results the Vikings have had with their current backs.

CFP Rankings Have Alabama #1
The CFP ranking is out for the week of November 18th and Alabama, by virtue of their win over previously #1 Mississippi State, vaulted from #5 last week to the top spot this week, leapfrogging idle Oregon and an FSU team that had to stage a second half comeback again over an unranked opponent.
Mississippi State dropped three spots to #4 while last week's #4, TCU, fell one spot to #5 with a narrow victory over unranked Kansas. Ohio State jumped over idle Baylor to claim the 6th spot. The Big 12, doesn't have a conference championship game. The CFP Commission is tasked with using conference championship winners as tie breakers in the final rankings. TCU and Baylor are both expected to finish 11-1 on the year and be named Co-Champions of the Big 12.
Oregon and FSU should win their respective championships and should Mississippi State lose in the SEC Championship game, Ohio State could be the fourth place team in the final rankings. Of course, Ohio State must win the Big 10 Championship game or TCU/Baylor would be the favorite to finish fourth in the final CFP rankings to be issued on December 7th.
Selection Committee chairman Jeff Long said "the differences between teams four through seven are narrow, very narrow."

NFL Picks This Week
UPDATE: 6-7 this week...16-9 for the last 2 weeks!
After going 10-2 last week I thought I would try my luck again this week. The teams playing are a little more evenly matched so the picks are much harder...my caveat if the picks go poorly!
Minnesota @ Chicago Bears 24-17 Cutler admits he's bad...will bounce back
Houston @ Cleveland Texans 28-10 Defense wins this one. Maybe 2 Def TDs
Seattle @ Kansas City Seahawks 24-13 Toss up in KC but Wilson comes through
Atlanta @ Carolina Falcons 17-14 Newton hurt? Falcons D just good enough
Cincinnati @ New Orleans Saints 30-21 Saints start their charge today
Tampa Bay @ Washington Redskins 21-13 Battle of not good teams
Denver @ St. Louis Broncos 35-10 Offense + Defense win for the Broncos
San Francisco @ NY Giants 49ers 28-24 SF needs to stay ahead of Seahawks
Oakland @ San Diego Chargers 21-17 Oakland 0-10 looking for QB in 2015 draft
Philadelphia @ Green Bay Eagles 24-21 Why? I'm not sure. Gut feeling.
Detroit @ Arizona Lions 28-14 No QB for Cardinals. Stafford and Robotron
New England @ Colts Patriots 27-17 Brady teaches Luck a lesson in legacy
Pittsburgh @ Tennessee Steelers 31-21 Roethlisberger recovers and so does D
