Wow. Explain THIS!

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!

This did NOT age well...

So NOW he understands....

My guess is that Dante Moore will play the first half of the game against JMU and in the second half, we will see the QB who Dan Lanning thinks is his #2.

It was the same when Bowls,other than the previous version of playoffs was in force.

Trust me...they never will. Why? 1) They do not want a conference telling them what to do, and implement new rules on them that conflict with their stated mission/goals/charter. 2) They have their own TV contract...no split with anyone! If they go to a conference....they will LOSE money. That won't happen because....

An early look at the five team's on Oregon's side of the 2025 College Football Playoff bracket Oregon is the No. 5 seed in the 2026 College Football Playoff. Here's a breakdown of the five teams they may face in the opening, quarterfinal and semifinal rounds this postseason.

I find it interesting that the term Student Athlete has virtually disappeared.

Great comment, JS. They're afraid of playing Ohio State OOC instead of Ohio Wesleyan. And why not? The nation's No. 1 team played donut holes OOC. A 24-team PO will include two G6 teams. Including Tulane and JMU in the 12-team field is because of a screwed up ACC, lawyers, and politicians. Notre Dame, Texas, Vanderbilt, and yes, USC, would have a chance to win it all? Tulane and JMU?

That coffee may need a little booster in it

This is just another example of how messed up CFB has become. The Bowls were the one time a player could get free stuff. Now, who needs another set of 'beats' headsets?! They can all afford to buy their own! I agree that the Bowl system needs revitalizing, but what part of CFB doesn't! I personally think this is a bad look on coach Freeman and entire ND organization. They could have shown up and trounced BYU and made a legitimate claim of being cheated from playoffs. Now they look like poor losers. I mean, after all, they did lose head-to-head with Miami. Both teams 10-2. Makes sense to me. I can't imagine coach Lanning ever allowing something like this. One last thought about ISU and KSU skipping Bowl games: they have different circumstances. Both lost coaches, both are likely to lose players to the portal. Is it in anyone's best interest to play a game repping your school with less then a normal full roster? And, the Poptart bowl isn't a bad gig. Better then a lot of others. Just sayin.

Wowzaa... I didn't realize that. And they're going to have a tough time of it for a lot more years.

LOL... Apparently, I was thinking they were flying in from Honolulu 😅😜🥴 Obviously, I am time zone challenged. Which is really embarrassing because in my day job, I work with people all over the US in four different time zones. It might be time for me to have a little afternoon coffee.
