This unfortunately doesn’t seem like the type of camp that would turn down Portal money that’s gonna get thrown at them in a couple months

Just now getting to Oregon State O (I don’t have their film). Not the old Beavs where they went under center, hard PAP and chucked bombs Lot of different stuff w/their speed forcing matchups. OC clearly just watches ball and implementing stuff he likes - some Sark, Stein. Fun O

Still can’t believe we begged for Garrett Riley to be fired just to hire “Chad Morris” Dabo fucking Swinney man…

Cristobal crawling into the turtle shell in a close game again. I maintain that Miami never actually took a step forward as a program/staff LY; y’all just expanded the Playoff allowing them to keep goofing off in the regular season and back into the CFP with a top 2-3 roster

Now Wommack is sitting back and conceding the underneath stuff in heavy wind against a QB/offense that has consistently not been able to stretch you downfield all year. DC obsessed with attack blitzing picks the one game he should probably do this to not do it. Another weird plan
Watching FSU-Alabama, was already very suspect of Wommack but this plan was really bad. Bringing the house over and over for what? Daniels is already inaccurate and can’t read it, and leaving FSU WRs 1-on-1 is the only way FSU could maybe beat you

Luke Ferrelli’s offseason journey from Cal to Ole Miss is *way* too interesting to literally never be discussed by any broadcast

It’s years too late to be mad about this
The thing about 24 that bothers me most is… Who is this for? It’s not because TV was begging for it. ESPN had to be convinced. It’s not for a boatload of new cash. Losing conf champ games is gonna make this a minimal gain. It’s not because the 22nd team has any shot at a natty. It doesn’t. It’s certainly not done with the health, safety, or academic success of the players in mind since they don’t even get a say in this. It’s entirely to appease the people donating the money that keeps a financially irresponsible business model afloat. It’s discounting success so schools can say “look what your donation bought.” It’s an industry hellbent on treating investors and bosses as the customer, and customers as an infinite resource that will keep coming back no matter what.

Andy I’ve got like 50 of these brother
This only works if everybody schedules harder in the non-conference (which I’m not confident they will). Otherwise, you’ve sucked some drama out of October and November in exchange for a week where you already had good matchups (conf champ weekend).

Enjoy your slop everyone. A few of us spent a decade warning you this was the obvious direction expansion to 12 was headed - everyone suddenly agrees now, but we actually had CFB Media™ in our mentions calling us names for several years
Sources: The College Football Playoff is nearing a deal to expand to 24 teams, per sources. The new format will start in 2027 and is expected to come together in the near future, pending final approvals.

I’ve eased off on the expansion whining because it’s futile now, but one last time - a few names that deserve serious credit for being some of the shockingly few people to push back on this @PDawg206 @CFBNerds @PickSixPreviews @GrahamCoffeyDC @JoshPateCFB

Alabama disguises Tampa w/simmed pressure. Gunner Stockton picks it up and fires over the hole defender

He’s a pro. Great feel for what’s happening specifically in coverage, so he’s in his bag on big 3rd downs/late drives. Enhances the broadcast but doesn’t draw attention to himself
