    We still have a small chance to sneak into playoffs

    If LSU beats Ga they will be SEC Champs. I do not see the committee denying the SEC Champ a spot in the CFP. AND how could they keep a one lost Ga out of the CFP. I don't see any way that Ga is not in the CFP (assuming they don't pull a Tennessee in their remaining regular season game).

    Stop sayin' that......

    That was before the SC game

    The worst program choke ever

    This one reminds me more of the 1969 “Archie-Who” Ole Miss game. UT was highly ranked (#2, I think...) and was expected to beat Ole Miss fairly easily (Ole Miss was 6-3 at that point). Believe it or not the game was not televised where I lived. I got to watch two Big Ten bottom dwellers...

    Pitt Still ACC Champs 'Til They're Not

    A win is a win....but I think the jury is still out on Pitt (as it is with all teams at this point). But I am sure that most have noted that the team that Pitt was very fortunate to barely beat last week (WVU) just lost to Kansas by 2 touchdowns.

    Kirk Herbstreit Singles out Nico

    This is NOT a criticism of Nico in any way...BY sat on the bench his 1st year behind Mac Jones. Which worked pretty well for them. BY had a year to learn the system and impress the coaches in practice. Which he did do. After that year he negotiated his NIL deal. I am curious, what...

    Kirk Herbstreit Singles out Nico

    Herbie is complaining about using NIL for recruiting. Bryce Young got his at the beginning of his second year at Bama.

    Glad It's Over

    I think you are correct...also I think the reason UT’s administration was so cooperative was that it gave them a really cheap way to get rid of Pruitt. I wonder how it would have gone if Pruitt had been a successful coach??? Maybe the same way...maybe not.

    Quote from Sarkisian, and Heupel

    I am just speculating but I think there will be a lot of drama left to play out. Quinn Ewers (sp.?) was a super highly recruited qb who left high school a year early and went to OSU to collect $1 mill. I think he had little intention of staying at OSU and was there only because UTX could not...

    Former 5-star WR and USC transfer heading to Tennessee.

    What I don’t understand is...Lincoln Riley is the coach at USC now. Coach H is doing a good job but how can he do better than LR at USC?

    What is the status of the flopping or faking

    Why do you want to penalize players who have cramps or some legitimate short term injury that can be taped up or quickly dealt with? A rule like this could bite UT as well.

    Really interesting map from 247

    The top 100 map is a snapshot. Not necessarily a trend.

    McGraw and Staley on Uconn bias

    Several years ago (and I do mean several) I was watching one of UConn’s televised games and as the women were walking back to the bench, Geno was giving them a slap on the fanny. This was common for coaches in men’s sports but that was the only time I remember seeing a male coach do that to...

    Simple rule

    I think that most any rule change trying to stop flopping is very likely to be futile. If a team is using flopping as a defensive strategy, it seems to me with just a little thought and ingenuity, they will find ways to minimize the damage of whatever the penalty is. Basically, how can you be...

    Hendon Hooker on Heisman Trophy Winner 2022 Watch List (w/Vegas Odds Released Today...

    I am with you.on the Majors and Manning thing. Hornug (sp.?) played for media darling ND. Woodson was a DB in a run league who had a total of about 5 good plays all year and all 5 were on TV. Did I mention he played for media darling Michigan? Woodson had a great pro career but nothing like...
