So now teams get credit for teams they didn’t even play in their conference being (allegedly) good?
This is gonna be great
NEW: The College Football Playoff committee will now consider a strength-of-conference metric in its selection process, @CFBHeather reports.
The new metric will help determine the strength of each conference based on the schedule strength of each team in its league.

I lost my Dad on 9/11. I don’t get a lot of reach on here. But I just wanted to share a picture. He was 39. I thought he was old. I’m now in my mid 30s and I still feel like a kid.
He was a great trader. He loved markets. He loved to find a stock no one was talking about.
The first trade I ever placed was on his work computer, where he let me click the button to buy AMAT. I loved going to the office with him. It was electric.
He was the best dad. We spent hours out in the street after dinner where he’d throw “pop flys” for me to catch. Eye on the ball.
He loved watching Sponge Bob and eating cereal, wrestling with us in the living room. He just loved being around his kids so much, and we knew it. I’m so grateful I got a dad like that.
Love you, Pops.

Belgian’s when you tell them they have to play against the 135th FIFA ranked striker
The Belgian Federation was “astonished” by FIFA’s decision to suspend Folarin Balogun’s one-game ban and has appealed, via @TheAthletic
Belgium HC Rudi Garcia added: “I didn’t know that at the World Cup, July 5 is actually April 1. It’s April Fools’.

Imagine if this happened in one of America's major sports. The complaining team would be relentlessly ridiculed for its fear to square off against their opponent's best players. The coach wouldn't dare this appeal.
This European mentality is so foreign to the American spirit.
Belgium has been granted the right to appeal against FIFA’s decision to suspend the one-game ban handed to USMNT star Folarin Balogun, less than 24 hours before the team’s round of 16 match vs. the United States, per The Athletic.
The Belgian federation said it was “astonished” by FIFA’s decision to suspend the ban for a period of one year and the Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) responded that the move was in “direct contradiction” of the competition regulations and said it is exploring “all potential options.”

I've always heard videos are better when you add the Interstellar track.
What about the Interstellar track plus @jeffculhane ?!?
What do y'all think?

I’ve always liked you Governor but even more after this! Thru the years, I’ve been asked who leads the Mt.Rushmore of all time 🏈CFB Coaches and in today’s world everyone starts with Saban. I get it and I agree, oh and so would Coach Bowden. However, if ya consider Bowden’s 14 year run as an AP Top 5 team, and the position in the sport @FSUFootball had upon his arrival? His construction of that program ranks #1 with me. I’ll add his generation of Coaches didn’t adapt nearly as well as he did from the 90’s to the early 2000’s. I always add to my list, that many can debate greatest coach? Ya can’t imo debate the greatest man to ever Coach! It’s Bobby Bowden. Now, he’ll be remembered every time ya fly to Tallahassee! He’s the most genuine human being I’ve ever known in CFB. 💜🙏RIP

My son did not say that about a program he grew up loving. Period!!
After visiting Florida State’s practice today, 4 star CB prospect Izayah Vickers apparently said the practice was “essentially mediocre” 😭
Obviously that’s not something you want to hear from your top prospect at cornerback for the 2026 class… especially when he goes to Florida State University High School.
Thoughts?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Izayah Vickers did not describe FSU's practice as "essentially mediocre." He told On3: "I really loved practice. Love how the coaches challenge the players." His family called a social media claim the "opposite" of his feelings.

We need to stop subscribing to the SEC narrative that the conference is somehow the best. They are a self-licking ice cream cone.
