Now to settle in and watch how James Franklin pisses away the golden opportunity that just fell into his lap.

Now why would I ruin a perfectly good euphoria doing that? 🤔

Who knew Ohio State had some NIL left over to bring John Cooper back to coach a game?

This playoff is going to wild.   No great teams along with the silly high seeding of lesser conference champs means everyone will have a legit shot to take home the crystal.

It helps that the day of the juggernaut that was Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State seems to be fading. Each has two losses and could easily have more.

The deck will reshuffle yearly now in our new NIL/Portal world especially without a real governing body and any spending guardrails in place.       I doubt that those 3 will fade for very long and won’t be surprised to see all of them back in the thick of it next year.

I agree, though it will be interesting to see if Alabama can recreate any of the Saban era magic with DeBoer, or if they have a short leash if he doesn't win a National Championship in three years. I could see them slipping into the LSUs of the world if they start a rotating door at the head position.

Bitching about the rankings is going to be epic in the 12 team playoff era.

Can he trick a third team into thinking he is a good QB?

Isn't McNamara like 40 years old? How is he still playing college football?

He needs to accept the reality that he’s a G5 QB.  Thats where he needs to go to have success.

Signing day sure is different now.   So many big flips going on today with 4 and 5 stars.   It looks like Oregon, Ohio, Texas, and maybe even Michigan have reached into their bags at the last minute for that little bit extra to land some of these top guys 

Even the biggest spenders have a budget and it will be interesting to see who can spend like they don’t care in both recruiting and the transfer portal.

I think he needs to learn which option package comes with the V8.

Cade is one of the guys for whom "a legend in his own mind" is the perfect description.

Jeanty is like a loaded gun.  You know he's going off at some point.

He reminds me a lot of watching Bryce Love's junior season at Stanford. He is going to end up with 100+ more carries than Love had that year, but watching the games, you just knew that he was going to pop at least one at some point.

And he's probably also going to finish 2nd in Heisman voting to a flashier player.

[Deleterious]

I assume old man Sanders has passed away?  Must be or else he would have popped up by now telling us how Jim Brown was better than Barry.

ASU coach Dillignham (sp?) brought his brass sack with him today.  4th and inches at their own 35 and he dials up a deep pass (with some YAC afterwards) to get deep into the red zone.

Will it be an open casket viewing and ceremony?  How many clothing changes and suit/shirt/tie combinations do you think he has spelled out in his will?

[Deleterious]

The SEC network is broadcasting this game from the sky cam which is directly behind the quarterback. Every football game should be broadcast with this view.

[Deleterious]

Wow. What a hit.
