Its both. Yes, the bowls pick what team they want, but if they go out of order of finish, they can only reach down to take a team that is 1 game worse than who should be slotted in their spot. i.e. The Cotton bowl could reach down to take a 3 loss LSU or A&M team over a 2-loss Missouri or...

I hope that means Columbia, MO. because I can't think of another halfway large city within 2 hours of KC that doesn't blow (Topeka & Manhattan ks are hellholes, as are St Joseph MO, Sedalia MO, etc.

This is your chance Michigan, get up by 2 scores before the half

Hah. Ohio St loses a starting O-lineman and backup RB to ejection in that fight, Michigan only loses a backup LB

Looks like Nebraska HC Pelini is probably unemployed after today Radio announcer speculation on Pelinis status heard on Huskers.com | sports.omaha.com

Michigan needs to get a few turnovers and get up by a couple scores. I don't know that they can just trade scores with Ohio St all day long.

Speaking of which, for anyone that has one of the Korean 1440p monitors, is the brightness an issue at all? I've seen multiple reviews that mention they are insanely bright, and if you crank down the brightness then the contrast/color balance leaves a bit to be desired, but at default...

Floridas defense is playing great against FSU, it's too bad their offense is a total abortion. I could see FSU winning this game 9-0 or something stupid like that with the was this is going so far

Or alternately too, the pit itself. Those things build up some serious seasoning on them over the years. Kinda like how a well-seasoned cast iron pan is incredible to cook with, BBQ pits/smokers are the same way. A shiny clean new one won't give off the same flavor as an old crusty one...

Why spend $800 on the Dell monitor when you can get virtually the same thing from Monoprice, with warranty, for $400? 27 IPS-Glass Panel Pro LED Monitor WQHD 2560x1440- 440cd/m2 - HDMI® 1.4 / DVI / VGA / DisplayPort 1.2 w/Built in Speakers - Monoprice.com About the only major difference is...

While I'm rooting for Michigan to pull the upset, I fully expect them to lose by 40+.

Definitely. I think most mock drafts had him as a borderline lottery pick before the season started, he's playing his way firmly into the top 10. I also think Marcus Smart of Oklahoma St is playing his way to possibly the top 2 picks. He's just an absolute beast. That's not much of a stretch...

It's way too early to tell in the SEC, picking order outside of the national championship game goes: Sugar Capitol One Cotton Outback Chick-Fil-A Gator And then a few more no one cares about. From what I understand, bowl picking doesn't go *strictly* in order of finish in the...

Fucking Goochland. Best. Name. Ever.

My cousin ordered a 7970 about a week ago from Tigerdirect and it was like $269 with a $40 mail-in rebate, so net cost of $229. Ridiculously good deal. Of course, by the time he tells me about it a week later the deal is long gone. Bastard

I have a 750W PSU with 2 SSDs, 3 standard hard drives, a i5 3570k + H100i water cooler, and a single 660Ti and at max load playing a game I'm around 300W used. You might get to 450W with a second video card. I kinda wish I didn't bother with a 750, it is WAY overkill, but oh well, guess it'll...

A 770 is going to roughly double your FPS from a 570, its definitely a significant upgrade. That being said though, AMD 7970s are on sale right now for various black friday/syber monday deals and people are getting them fir sub $250 and its roughly equivalent to the 770. Some games the 770 is...

Lol nice

That Seagate 600 series is a solid drive. Benchmarks just behind the Samsung Pro and is right in the middle of the Samsung EVOs

Fuck I love this game. Most enjoyable game I've played since Bioshock Infinite. Best game of the 2nd half of 2013 for sure(yeah, I like it more than GTA5)

Definitely could be a problem down the road. I'd never plan on being able to SLI 2+ years after the initial card purchase. At that point you'd probably have to track down a used card on ebay or something to match yours. You either need to SLI pretty quick, or plan on a different upgrade plan...

And just when you get everything done and packed up, you get to turn right around and unpack it all! Moving blows.

Dont accept any payment for a car unless it is cash, or a cashiers check. Pretty much anything else can be scammed (bad checks, fake money orders, etc). It's not like you're mailing an item to someone so it all has to be done electronically. Someone eventually has to come get the car, that...

Do not do it via Paypal. You can get scammed several different ways He can send you a fake PayPal email with a link that takes you to a phony PayPal page. Or he can use a hacked PayPal account and transfer the money from the hacked account to yours(which you will then lose once Paypal...

Yeah, I'm waiting to see what Cyber Monday brings, because I haven't seen anything overly great for Black Friday this year. Seems like a lot of TVs for Black Friday are like 10-20% off MSRP, which isn't real great. Lot of $999 Tvs marked down to $799 and $599 TVs marked down to $499, but...

Hell, pick up a 2nd 670 for $229 and the 2 together will outperform a Titan EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW LE 02G-P4-2676-KR Video Card - 2GB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0(x16), 1x Dual-link DVI-I, 1x Dual-link DVI-D, 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort, DirectX 11, SLI Ready at TigerDirect.com Honestly, I...

While not a massive difference, it isn't insignificant either. I've seen Handbrake and other video encoding benchmarks show as much as a 20% performence gain in an i7 over an i5. Could mean your video encoding only takes 24 minutes instead of 30. So you're not talking about doubling your...

And to throw in 1 last chart, here's how most of the major cards from the last couple years stack up in a new game, Battlefield 4 Not sure why the 660ti is not listed, but it would fall in-between the 660 and 670, so it's probably in the 33-34ish FPS range. You could then assume that SLI'd...

This may be a bit long-winded, but bear with me and it might help you make the best video card decision for your individual situation. 660ti SLI vs 760 SLI vs 780 There's no easy answer here, and heres why: The order of performance in that situation is going to be 760 SLI(~$500) > 660ti...

edit - nevermind, I was looking at the "mini" deluxe Shit theres a lot of Asus Z87 boards, at least 10+ at Newegg

I'm using a retail water cooler, the Corsair H100i. I can actually run it at 4.8 with no problems while gaming or under normal use, but stress tests do crash it at 4.8, so I dialed it back to 4.6.

I would hope that by the age of 30, most people who have lived their entire life in the US has visited at least half the states or more, much less being able to actually identify them. I take it you don't get out much...

Yes, but read this post first before you make a decision Upgrading Video, need advice

I've had a 3570k + the ASRock Extreme 4 montherboard for exactly 1 year now, built it last black friday(combo of the 2 was $229 at Microcenter a year ago) and both are holding up great. Have had the processor overclocked to 4.6ghz this entire time, and everything still runs like a champ. Never...

Made this for dinner tonight, very tasty. Used some local ingredients Some Scimeca's Spicy Italian Sausage (making Italian sausage in KC for like 80 years) Scimeca's History with some I didn't have any red pepper flakes so I put some sriracha in instead, probably about 2...

Correct. Obviously the only downside is that you'll pay sales tax at Microcenter(which does add up when you are spending $1000+ on a new PC) But no one can touch them on processor + mobo prices, and they'll at worst be equivalent on all your other parts to online pricing once they...

Reminds me of a post I saw on Reddit a while back. Someone came up with the idea to put a normal, average joe into the Olympic sprints just so people would have a frame of reference into how insane the athletes were. People don't realize just how nuts of an elite athlete even a backup NFL...

While I generally agree, you currently won't find anything in the $300 range anywhere near the power of SLI'd 660Tis. I honestly stick to the exact plan you listed, buy a new $300 video card every other year(and I bought my first 660Ti last year for $300), but I decided instead of plunking down...

Best deal I've seen on the Nexus 7 2.0 is the Staples deal, they have $50 off any tablet over $150. Knocks the new Nexus 7 down to like $179 for the 16GB version Staples Coupons: Coupon Codes
