My favorite CFP Scenario: - James Madison wins the SBC and goes 12-1 - San Diego State wins the MW and goes 12-1 - Memphis wins the AAC and goes 12-1 - Duke loses to UConn then wins the ACC at 9-4 - ASU wins the Big 12 at 10-3 Which three conferences get their champs in?

@statmuse 11th team since 2000 and the 33rd team all-time to start 8-0. 7 of the previous 32 went on to win the title but none since 2007-08 Celtics. 1970-71 Pistons only one to not make the playoffs, finishing 45-37 & 4th in Midwest Division back when only 8 teams made postseason

Tennessee has 1 win over a team with a winning record at it was an OT win at 5-4 Mississippi State. They should have beat Georgia (thought they actually outplayed the Bulldogs in that game) but can’t understand them in the rankings right now. And their next/final 3 games:

No G5 teams in the first CFP rankings is VERY interesting…..

It’s gonna be funny when neither Notre Dame or Miami finishes 10-2 and all the arguing today was for nothing.

Your annual reminder that Mississippi State was #1 in the first ever CFP rankings in October 2014. Went 3-2 rest of regular season and was 7th before the bowls…

Among the many subplots for the Florida State / Clemson matchup is both teams struggles in 1-score games, a combined 0-7. FSU is 1 of 4 FBS teams that are 0-4 or worse in games decided by 8 pts or less. The other 3: Arkansas (0-5) Auburn (0-4) Penn State (0-4) Arkansas lost

@TheAthleticNBA In the last 20 seasons, 19 teams have started 0-6 including the Nets & Pelicans this year. Of 17 previous teams, none of them have made the postseason. And only 1 of them have won at least 35 games: 2007-08 Warriors finished 48-34, 2 games behind the Nuggets for the 8th

Note: You are looking at the only HC in college football whose team has played eight games against teams currently above .500. NAU 5-4 MSU 5-4 Baylor 5-4 TCU 6-2 Utah 7-2 Texas Tech 8-1 Houston 7-2 Iowa State 5-4 (h/t @jthornby doing work here)
Kenny Dillingham said he’s giving ASU’s players a week off for the bye due to how banged up the team is.

On Saturday, @ASUFootball QB Jeff Sims became just the 12th FBS QB in the last 30 years to have 175+ pass yds & 220+ rush yds in the same game. The last to do it? Former Sun Devil QB Jayden Daniels in his 2023 Heisman season with LSU

Love having #NFLRedZone on in the background while working on Sundays & constantly hearing Nate Landman & Cody Barton’s names like it’s pre-pandemic @pac12 all over again. Nobody would believe that not only are those guys still on NFL rosters but making plays.

Today is your last day to be upset about the AP poll. Come Tuesday, the CFP poll will soak up all that anger…

Bo Nix may not ever be a Top 5 QB in the league but he’s going to be a winning QB for a long time….

They don’t talked about the same as as Madden & Summerall but the Bob Trumpy/Don Criqui combo on a Sunday afternoon was elite.
Bob Trumpy’s impact will forever echo through The Jungle. Our hearts are with the Trumpy family. 🔗 : https://t.co/meoKJVNh1i
