Things are Getting Tense in the Playoff Tree House

As the season nears it's dramatic conclusion, the Playoff field is starting to separate itself from the rest of the pack. Unfortunately, that doesn't always mean the teams gathering in the Playoff Tree House are always going to get along. The Big Ten and the SEC face off to see who will get the most teams in.

It's that time of a year, and selecting teams for the College Football Playoff is a drama worthy of Planet Earth. The Playoff wanders the landscape looking for her 12 selections while teams desperately do whatever needs to be done to impress her.

It was a tale of very different bedtimes for the top teams in the SEC. After a huge upset in Oxford and a shocker in Baton Rogue, SEC parents struggle to put their kids back to bed after the excitement and...loudness...of watching those games.

It was a week of upsets and close calls for the top SEC teams and now it's time for them to face the music. Tennessee, Georgia, and Texas A&M are all forced to attend detention after their lackluster performance on the field.

Texas A&M ascend to the number one team in the SEC this week after beating the LSU Tigers. It has been a long climb for the Aggies and they encountered many challenging figures along the way. The journey was no doubt made tougher by the constant presence of Battered Aggie Syndrome.

When you can't settle it on the field, you take it to court. SEC teams line up in Judge Hall's courtroom to address their grievances and issues after the last week of crazy games.

When the conference can't settle the matter of which teams are contenders on the field, they send them down to the basement for a visit with Anne Maisley to sort them all out. Teams get hooked up to the lie detector machine to see who is a fraud and who is a real contender.

Just when you think you've seen everything under the sun on a college football field, the game throws one more at you. Vanderbilt defies all logic and precedence when they knock off #1 ranked Alabama for the first time in like 40 years. You can't keep him down.

Every day, thousands of people fall victim to fraudulent emails, texts, and calls from scammers pretending to be their bank. And in this time of expanded use of online and mobile banking, the problem is only growing worse. It's time to put scammers in their place.
