When we win the CFP, I'm going to proudly say that GT is the National Champion. I don't care what anyone else thinks about the CFP.

Another solution would be to make two 64(ish)-team super-conferences divided into 8 regions apiece. We could call them the “American” conference and the “National” conference. Have an 8-team playoff for each. Let the champions of each super-conference play each other in the College Superbowl...

CPJ let the mutts score in a game (2010?) in order to get the last possession with some time left. At the time, we had been mostly unsuccessful in stopping them anyway. The strategy was risky, and it failed. Was questioning the field goal attempt occurring on an earlier down? Because it...

And I'm saying that the middle ground that the current CFP strikes is ok given the state of college football today. It's neither totally exclusive or inclusive. I understand the argument that some good teams shouldn't get a chance if they fail to win their conference. I disagree because a)...

Given their timeouts plus the 2-minute timeout, if we ran an actual four-minute offense we would have given FSU the ball back with too much time left. So, I think he was describing how they wanted to run the last series like their standard 4-minute offense, with allowance for pacing it to run...

I'm confused by your post. It may just be my reading comprehension. Are you implying that college basketball is not a major sport?

I know this. I was simply providing a counterexample to the statement "no other major sport..." As the playoff continues to expand, we can see more teams getting a shot via at-large bids. Apparently, that's not a good thing to some. I happen to think it is.

NCAA tournament?

Agree. We will know a little more after Saturday's game with G5 Ohio. So far no ACC team has controlled their first game from start to finish, regardless of their opponent's quality. If Syracuse wins in a blowout and has total game control, maybe they have a chance to be good this year...

"Extenuating" wasn't the best choice of words on my part. Sometimes close games are fluky, and the best-performing team does not win. What if Colorado's 5th-down game had been their conference championship? I'm not suggesting that losing a playoff game should grant you a second chance...

Although the obvious purpose of the playoff is to generate boatloads of media money, the underlying purpose should be to crown the overall best team as the national champion. It’s ok to give auto-bids to some of the conference champions, as chances are they are among the handful of best teams...

Maybe you didn't hear what he said immediately after. "Perhaps there's a little bit less confidence in that." The discussion context was about the impact of our win in Ireland on their expectations.

Hampton carried UNC's offense. To be fair, the game was played in very wet conditions - conducive to the run game over the pass, and making tackling more difficult too. However, we didn't seem to have much trouble tackling in similar conditions.

The CFP TV audience doesn't think it's nothing. CFP TV deal is significantly larger than any single conference's, including the B1G and the SEC's.

I will take the 3 OOC wins last night as good news for the ACC, which translates to good news for our SoS. That said, no team looked great in the first half, especially considering the competition. UNC eked out a sloppy win due to their opponent missing a chip shot field goal and another...

Yeah, Phillips missed a golden opportunity to plug the ACC on the major week zero kickoff-the-season game with 5M viewers. Was he even there? If not, that says a lot.

Just checked Covers.com again for updates – none yet for us or GSU. Thought I’d pass along something odd though – the mutts have 3 players listed as suspended, the most of any team (shocking!). The strange thing is that all their suspended players are also listed as “questionable”. Seems to me...

There was another very long game breakdown by three FSU guys. Wasn't able to watch the entire thing but one of their comments was "Where does GT find these tight ends?"

This guy sounds like a line coach – a much deeper dive into what was going on along the lines than most of the other talking heads. His point is FSU and GT both ran many of the same type of counter plays, but ours worked while FSU’s failed. The reason? GT’s better technique and aggressiveness...

Currently, Covers.com is not reporting anything new for GT since last week. We may get updates later today. For GSU, they list WR Talique Williams as questionable. He was their 2nd-leading WR last year, and their leading receiver Robert Lewis appears to be at Auburn now. Neither is shown on the...
