Interesting facts about Danny Kanell's 1993 National Championship ring: - FSU lost head-to-head to Notre Dame on November 13th but ND, w/same record was excluded - WVU was undefeated in reg season, but denied a chance to play for the title in favor of FSU who had a loss 🧵

FSU punts up 7 with 2:15 left. LSU muffs the punt to FSU. FSU fumbles on the 1 with 1:25 left. LSU drives 99 yards in 1:24 LSU scores with 1 second left. FSU blocks the XP to win. I love college football.

The number of TCU signs on this Michigan sheet is obscene. From this and other shots they had 3+ laminated sheets with at least 50 signs decoded. That’s an entire scheme, which took TCU a month of bowl prep to replace. You can’t ask kids to learn 50 new signs in a week.

At 11,000 players, that's roughly $5.5 million in payouts. NCAA 14 sold 1 million copies, which at $50/each, that's about $50 million. EA Sports is offering 10% of gross from their last game, despite massive AAA dev costs, team/bowl fees, and it's STILL "too low"!?!

Minimizing a 54-10 win over Iowa because a lot of points came off turnovers is silly. That's literally double their highest allowed total this year. If forcing 6 turnovers and beating them by 44 is no big deal, why did nobody else do it?

No team has lost more BCS/NY6 Bowls than Oklahoma. Even if you broke it out by most BCS Bowl losses and most NY6 Bowl losses, no team has lost more of either than the Sooners. #OUvsTEX

Not counting 2007, 25% of Alabama's games played under Nick Saban decided by one score have come in the last two seasons. If you felt Bama hasn't been Bama, in spite of racking up wins, but couldn't put your finger on it, this is the number that confirms your eye test

If we're going to pick on Daniels for playing in the 4th quarter vs Ga State then we also must remember: - Penix Jr playing until 6:51 in the 4th vs Tulsa (38 pass attempts) - Bo Nix throwing it almost 30 times vs Portland State including while up 50-7 in the 3rd And combined,

Not a single voter would take JMU +10 vs Notre Dame in a game with stakes. But we have to pretend a G5 who beat UVA by 1 point and has 3 one-score G5 wins is better than Notre Dame because we like feeling good about ourselves as we celebrate naked emperors.

A key point with Harbaugh is that if the Michigan case went forward, he would likely be forced to answer under oath for everything or risk contempt of court. You legally cannot plead the 5th absent a real threat of criminal prosecution (and NCAA rules are not criminal laws).

So, this is really, genuinely very suspicious. - DC Clayton White was Harbaugh's DB Coach at Stanford - South Carolina played shockingly above their heads - SC had wristbands to change calls pre-snap for the first time vs Tennessee - Beamer used stolen plans at VT in Wakeyleaks

Surprised Vol Twitter isn’t running with this more. The week following this alleged scouting, the South Carolina defense wore wristbands for the first time all year. Would not be the first time that Shane Beamer has gotten into trouble for accepting and using stolen information.

This completely refutes the long-standing notion that "Alabama/Ohio State/Georgia" gets all the calls What this means is, a number of the best teams are rarely seeing opponents penalized. This is either subconscious or intentional, but either way, it's unfair.

I don’t know what David Pollack’s compensation was at ESPN. But I sure would have loved for Pat McAfee’s deal to have been fractionally less to save him.

Will Levis as #1 overall odds are moving rapidly right now (moving from 50/1 to 5/1). Tennessee had the 127th best pass defense last year. Levis vs UT: - 98 yards on 27 attempts - 3 INTs - Negative 22 rushing yards. Two weeks later, Levis managed 109 yards vs Vandy.

Michigan, Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Ohio State - all far more talented than 90% of the teams they play are somehow going up against bottom-half teams who miraculously play mistake-free football.

On 4th and 2, Auburn had three players in motion at the snap which is against the rules. But the only penalty called was offsides on Alabama. Auburn was able to get a field goal out of it to extend its lead to 4 👀

Alabama's play calling vs Texas was odd. One would assume you'd design a game plan that capitalizes on Milroe's biggest advantage over Buchner or Simpson: ability to stress a defense with his legs. There were few designed runs, almost no zone read, and little use of his legs.

Question. If Michigan beat Ohio State twice with CJ Stroud at the helm, including at OSU last year, why is almost everyone assuming OSU will beat Michigan this year with a new QB? Make your case either way.

The shame of Heisman (individual award) voting hyper-focused on wins (which is a team thing), is that CJ Stroud absolutely out played Bryce Young today, but he'll get penalized for losing to a good team while Young barely beat a bad team.

Alabama fans demanded Cam Newton be banned from colleges football for allegedly taking money, but are fine with Brandon Miller providing a murder weapon used to kill a mom. Sports fans aren’t sane or rational when their favorite teams are involved:

I get Stroud. But some of these analysts can't get over their dark horse pick in the off-season being wrong and are still trying to will it into existence. Levis had 98 yards on 3.6 YPA with 3 ints Saturday vs Tennessee.

The upshot of why Alabama football is doomed in the new NIL model - number of billionaires living in each state: Alabama - 0 Ohio - 7 Georgia - 18 Texas - 73 Florida - 78 California - 186 And this won't increase parity. It just means a handful of schools will dominate even more.

People need to stop talking about "Texas nearly beat Alabama" and "Missouri nearly beat Georgia" in the same breath. - Texas is 6th in FEI, 10th in FPI. They are a legit talented team just with a bad L vs TTU. - Missouri is 57th in FEI and FPI. You shouldn't struggle with Mizzou.

I've never seen a fanbase so insecure over any criticism as we're seeing right now from Michigan fans. Our comments are littered with replies like this, in a game they were down 7 with 4 minutes left, and won in OT. OSU, who had the ball down 6 late, wasn't "close" either. 🧵
