I've gone to bowl games my whole life as a fan, ref's kid & writer. Only once did a team tell me they wished they hadn't done it and that was pandemic stuff. It's always fun even when it's a loss. Sitting home - and denying some guys their last game ever - feels shortsighted.

Filling the spot with Bottom 10 champion UMass would be perfect @ESPNMcGee!
Baylor statement on potential bowl: “We have declined the opportunity to play in a Bowl, as we've already progressed deeply into the offseason timeline of preparation for the 2026 season.”

It's as if preseason polls and early weekly CFP rankings were designed for really no reason other than to generate chatter and debate. Morgan Freeman narrator voice: "And indeed they were."

100%. I have written about former Indiana players wearing the rings of 2nd tier bowl games they lost because that was the best they'd ever done. This is glorious.
@ESPNMcGee Same as Indiana?

I grew up on Tobacco Road loving he ACC. So, I totally understand how inconvenient this ACC title game situation is. But I'm not gonna lie. Duke winning this game is the most #goacc thing ever and I mean that in the most sincere loving embrace that I am capable of.

Georgia vs Alabama was a sporadic matchup for decades. But for the last dozen years, this crimson and red clash has shaped the sport. Saturday is their seventh championship meeting since 2012, two for a natty 🏆 🎤 @ESPNMcGee

Annual repost guaranteed to make people unreasonably angry. My 2018 story on the birth of the two-handed shovel pass in the Dr. Pepper halftime scholarship toss. Spoiler alert: They don’t care what you think. It changed their lives.

Thanks to a trailblazer in 2010, winners of championship weekend halftime throwing contests can achieve glory via unconventional throwing mechanics. The internet will absolutely complain about that,...

There aren't many people of whom you can say every time you talked to them you learned something. Every conversation with Roy Kramer was an education. Death is never well-timed. But saying goodbye to Mr. Kramer on the eve of the SEC Championship he created feels sorta perfect.
