In his first season at ASU, Dilly had it a bit easier than what Will has signed up for: 2 Krispy Kreme cupcakes, Alabama, at A&M, at South Carolina, LSU, at Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, at Tennessee, Florida, at Missouri, and Louisville. Better go hunting for and fill your Stein with, Wild Turkey! 🤪

Thank you, Drake, for the take on the Real Bo Jackson and not the Ohio State freshman RB, Lamar 'Bo' Jackson. The Real Bo's career ended far too soon from a hip injury that, with the improvement in medical care, most of today's players recover from to play again. Along with Prime Time, Bo played in the NFL and MLB. Bo is one of his generation's greatest athletes.

In FCS PO news, last night our friends, the Montana State Bobcats, defeated the SFA Lumberjacks 44-22 to move on to the semifinals against the winner of today's game, South Dakota at Montana. And 'they' said OBD played a weak schedule! 🤬 Go You Hairy Cats of Bob!

DM, you're simply Bearing Up. LOL 😍. The bed in LA was too small. The bed in Eugene is B1G, damn green and just right. Sorry, please BEAR with me. 😁

Nebraska plays Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl, Whit's final game with Allegiant Stadium packed with Utah fans making a short drive south to Vegas. Dylan Raiola is out with a broken leg, Nebraska's backup QB gets the start.

Another P4 head coach job opens. Old foe Kyle Whittingham will retire after the Las Vegas Bowl. Best of luck, Nebraska ☹️. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/utah-hc-kyle-whittingham-stepping-down-after-21-seasons-will-coach-in-las-vegas-bowl-212750855.html

A flock of Ducks and ots of Red raiders make CBS Sports' 2025 top 25 transfers. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/fernando-mendoza-texas-techs-d-line-top-transfers-college-football-playoff/

Humbly disagree. After the 1st two games, ND's schedule was far from robust. Notre Dame's best win of the season was against No. 16 USC in a game played in a monsoon in South Bend. All of the ND and Miami metrics were close. Close enough that head-to-head results, pursuant to PO committee procedures, came into play. Everything and anything else is subjective sophistry. Miami won. Notre Dame lost. In real POs where teams qualify for the field based on their record, losses count no matter when the loss happened. You cannot overcome a loss by looking good while beating up teams with weaker rosters. The only reason Miami over ND is an issue is because of worthless interim rankings, so ESPN can make more money. BTW - Under the ACC's Eat What You Kill PO revenue policy, put into place to settle the lawsuit with Clemson and FSU (😁), Miami will share little PO revenue with the ACC and the member teams.

The AP on bowl no shows - AP News12-team College Football Playoff bracket has FBS teams se...At least 10 teams reportedly opted out of bowl games this year, including Notre Dame, Iowa State, and Kansas State.

D-Fence! How do PO teams stack up? https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2025/12/12/oregon-football-defense-compares-cfp-field/87719349007/?utm_source=smg-duckswire-strada&utm_medium=email&utm_campai PO O stats - https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2025/12/11/oregons-offense-is-one-of-the-best-within-the-cfp-field/87678257007/?utm_source=smg-duckswire-strada&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=SMGbaseline& Caveat - The quality of the opposition played in CFB varies widely. Take all CFB stats not adjusted for the strength of the opposition with a B1G grain of salt.

Texas Tech lit up BYU twice, and its only loss was at ASU when the red Raiders starting QB couldn't play. Tech also wrecked a good Utah team in Salt Lake City. Cody Campbell's money was well spent, especially on the DL and LB. LB Rogriguez won the Butkus Award. He started his college ball playing QB at Virginia. Pretty well known by now that his wife is an Air Force Blackhawk pilot. Joey McGuire is an experienced, savvy football coach who, in his selection show interview, mentioned the loss in Lubbock to Oregon with Bo Nix leading a comeback win. Eugene is twice as far from Miami as Lubbock is. This is new territory for fired-up Tech fans who will show up for the game. I expect attendance to be 60/40 in favor of TT at least. PO travel for OBD fans is brutal, and always will be when traditional bowl sites host the second round forward games. However, I do hope Oregon fans will have the opportunity to travel to Miami, Atlanta, and then back to Miami. There is a chance OBD could play a semifinal game in Phoenix instead of Atlanta. Everyone's gaga about Georgia because the Dawgs controlled the game vs a wounded Bama team. A week earlier, Georgia's O was stymied by Georgia Tech. I'm not saying I prefer UGA (DUH), but TT is legit. Noon Eastern Orange Bowl KO - 9 AM Pacific. 11 AM Central. OBD opened -7.5, bet down to -4.5. FIRST - Destroy the Dukes!

Bama played a much more difficult schedule and the 3rd loss was in a 13th game that ND does not play.

The ACC for every sport but football and ice hockey where ND plays in the Big Ten. Parasites!

Amen. In this case, he turned the wrong Paige. (😵)
