FWIW, I likely won't be on again until tonight or tomorrow so I wanted to give my predictions on what the committee will do. (We'll see how I do later). I think the final Top 8 will be the following 1) Mich 2) Wash 3) FSU 4) TX 5) AL 6) UGA 7) Oh St 8) OR I think the in-studio analyst at the...

I doubt that. They have more wins against FBS teams with winning records than any other team in the country. They have more road/neutral wins against winning FBS teams than anyone else. They are very battle tested in close games. I don't see them as being an easy out at all. As they get...

My parents had to drive from Appleton to Fond Du Lac the day of the Ice Bowl because they had no power and that is where they were able to find a place with power to watch the game.

While they would never do it, I would love to see a national championship game at Lambeau Field or Soldier Field. Football is meant to be played outside. And elements are even better. Watching the Iowa St - Kansas St game last week was ridiculous fun. I'm not a fan of all the dome games.

This has largely already happened - it is just easier to see. For example, the top 5 schools in the country in AA revenue are Ohio St, Texas, AL, Mich, and UGA. All 5 are among the 8 that can make the CFP this year and all 5 would make it under the new 12 team model next year. The vast...

Not sure if this is behind a paywall, but if it isn't it is a good read on the options for each of the 8 squads still vying for a spot in the CFP and what they likely have to do to get into the CFP. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/12/01/college-football-playoff-clinching-scenarios/...

I lost my love for it years ago. I still watch it more often than not, but I no longer get attached. If a team wins that I am rooting for (including GT) that's great and I enjoy it for probably 15 min, if one loses I obsess over the loss for less than 5.

This just shows me that depsite the shills for the conference, there is some understandings that there are scenarios where they could get left out. I didn't really think that until Tuesday night, but that spreadsheet does a nice job of laying out the scenario where it could happen (Even though...

The number of starting QB's already in the portal is impressive. I guess everyone is hoping to get paid. Leonard - Duke Morris - NC ST Van Dyke - Miami Rogers - Miss St Jefferson - Ark Uiagelelei - OR St McCall - Coastal Carolina Johnson - Tx A&M (UNC) Warner - Temple Sorsby - Ind Howard -Ks St

This is what is so disgusting to me about college sports right now, there really isn't a good equivalent elsewhere. This would be like a bunch of Atlanta Falcons fans going to a free agent and saying if you come to play for Atlanta we will supplement your contract with the team with another...

That is not unusual. Something like 40% of transfers don't end up at another school and the majority transfer down instead of up.

I wonder if GT will take a look at this young man. Vandy Team captain. Starting DE. 5.5 sacks, 7.5 TFL, 1 UNT, 30 tackles last season. Grad transfer.

I agree 100% that GT took advantage of the opportunities. GT still could have easily lost the game. But that doesn't change the fact that the opportunity itself never should have existed. Give GT the credit for taking advantage of the opportunity. Give the blame to Miami for allowing GT to...

I think Deion was fine at Colorado this year. Would probably give him a B just like I give Key. The issue for Deion is I think he has to really start to build the base more sturdy. He brought in a ton of transfers but ultimately he needs to stregthen his base - especially his line play. At...

Until about 12 hours ago I was where you are. But after looking more into each teams performances, how the committee has ranked through the season, there is a scenario where the SEC gets left out. It's not the most likely scenario, but it is not a 0 chance scenario either. If Mich, FSU and Wash...

I also wanted to add that after reading an article I think there is 1 scenario (and only 1) where Ohio St could get in to the CFP. UGA has to beat AL Mich has to beat Iowa Wash has to beat OR L'ville has to beat FSU OK St has to beat TX If all those things happen then it is likely that you...

After next season will be the interesting time for Deion. Both of his sons will be out of eligibility. He has never had a starting QB at the HS or college level not named Shedeur.

FWIW, I would give Key a Solid B for this season. I think he did a good overall job. Nothing outstanding, but he appears to be very intentional on building a program and a culture. Happy to give him the time to see how it works out. I was sort of expecting between 5-7 and 7-5, so he was right...

There is a new article in the Athletic that is sort of a post-season review of Colorado with quotes from 1/2 dozen anonymous PAC 12 assistants. It is mentioned by assistants that they think Colorado will have a difficult time hiring assistants because of how Lewis was treated. They also mention...

I've come to realize that the ACC CG really doesn't affect the other ACC bowls much at all this year. L'ville is locked into the Orange Bowl win or lose. The outcomes for the top 2 appear to be FSU beats L'ville - FSU to CFP, L'ville to Orange as highest rated non ACC Champ available. L'ville...
