North Carolina and Helene's aftermath

I just gotta say after spending some time scrolling through twitter this afternoon, that area is just devastated. I have seen a story about a guy that hiked 12 miles to his parents remote home because no roads were open and he found them fine thankfully. There is a guy on the ground that had a couple starlink setups that donated them to the people to use to connect to people outside the area and now he is having 10 more flown in for the others around that area. Other people finding ways to get to stores to buy all they can to bring into the community to help with feeding everyone.

It's moments like this that remind us all that if we can help we should help. Florida even sent air and rescue assets to North Carolina after they got done with what they needed to do to get people rescued in their own state. It's amazing what we can do when we help each other out. Please keep the thread if you choose to respond in the spirit it was meant.

Loser of Nebraska/Iowa game is eliminated

I believe I have all the tiebreakers figured out in these 4 scenarios.

If Nebraska wins and Rutgers wins

11 - Rutgers
12 - Nebraska
13 - Northwestern
14 - Minnesota
15 - USC
16 - Iowa

If Nebraska wins and Minnesota wins

11 - Minnesota
12 - Nebraska
13 - Rutgers
14 - Northwestern
15 - USC
16 - Iowa

If Rutgers wins and Iowa wins

11 - Rutgers
12 - Minnesota
13- Northwestern
14 - USC
15 - Iowa
16 - Nebraska

If Minnesota wins and Iowa wins

11 - Minnesota
12 - Rutgers
13 - Iowa
14 - USC
15 - Northwestern
16 - Nebraska

So if Nebraska wins it would either play (13)Rutgers or Northwestern on Wednesday afternoon and then would have to face (5)Wisconsin Thursday and (4)UCLA Friday.
