Miami 2024 10-2, 3 wins by 7 points or fewer No. 2 offense with No. 1 pick in draft Bad defense No Conference title game No playoff (and shouldn’t have been in) Oklahoma 2025 10-2, 4 wins by 7 or fewer No. 4 defense Bad offense No Conference title game In playoff?

Yes, I went to Miami, but I've backed Georgia to make the 4 team CFP after losing an SEC title game, backed both Texas and Bama to make it two years ago, backed Ohio State to make it in 2014 and Penn State to make it in 2016. I don't care about conference affiliation.

“What a gritty win, tough place to go win, that team is better than their record, every week is tough in this league” Missouri (19 in Sagarin) Tennessee (22) LSU (24) Auburn (26) South Carolina (29) “Thats just a bad loss, it can’t happen” SMU (21) Louisville (27)

Pollster logic has normalized Miami being behind ND. It's incredible. In most of their minds, Miami would have been better off losing week one to ND and beating SMU. Timing of a loss actually weighs more to them than the quality of a win.

Highlights from the press conference include: Q: "What do you think made it a challenge to kind of get things together (this season)?" A: "We'll take a look at the season later." Q: "What did this season teach you?" A: "We just got done with the game."

Last Bill Belichick presser of the season. Run time: four minutes. Declined to comment, elaborate on large majority of them. I started off by asking Belichick what he saw as common threads between the last three losses. Think the response was "I don't know." Hard to hear.

Ole Miss and its 7th rated offense efficiency-wise, will not have its head coach, its OC, its Co-OC and WR coach for whatever is next. The new HC is the DC of the lowest-rated defense efficiency-wise (52nd) of a CFP contender. Seems like something the committee has to address.

Oklahoma hasn’t gained 400 yards since September 13th at Temple.

The Sooners record also benefits from the officials missing a fake substitution play, which the SEC later admitted should have been an unsportsmanlike penalty. The play resulted in OU’s only TD of the game until under 5:00 remaining.

Oklahoma is 2-0, getting a 71-yard fumble return for TD against Tennessee in a game it was outgained by 105 yards and 87 yard INT return for TD against Alabama in a game it was outgained 194 yards.

There were 163 games this season where a Power 4 team was outgained by at least 100 yards. Those teams combined to go 16-147.
