  1. U are spot on. 😁I think with the Texas Bobcats, they may have made a miss-state?
  2. I have an idea. After the Mountain West helps us out with our scheduling problem, we'll sue the MW instead of reverse-merging with them, steal their best teams, and lift the Pac-12 back into the Power 5. What's that, Tulane, Memphis, Grand Canyon for B-Ball, and UNLV said, 'No thanks,' and we're running out of the Real Pac-12's money, and we still don't have the eight schools that play football? Let's grab Texas State! What do you mean, Who? What, are you ignorant? You haven't heard of Boko and the Bobcats? What's that? No, I didn't say American Conference UTSA in metropolitan San Antonio (they told us to whizz off), I said, Sun Belt Conference TSU in somnambulant San Marcos. One of the best places to retire to in the great State of Texas. 😋 Don't laugh, once we get the Bobcats off of benzodiazepines, TSU will awaken to its sleeping dwarf potential! With TSU on board, we'll score $10 million in media dollars a year! Take that, traitor Ducks and Huskies! We only have to travel as far as Texas. You fools have to go all the way to Jersey. And folks are worried over college kids having too much NIL money?😁
  3. Oklahoma Lost, and the Ducks and Gabe Won. How to fix the College Football Playoff: Format, schedule changes necessary with expansion on the horizon - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Tom Fornelli's complete guide to ensuring the best college football product as changes loom ahead of the 2026 season
  4. Son, do you want to play in and win games versus the top 5? Respectfully submitted, Jimmy Franklin.😁
  5. I again tapped into A Eye 🧐, a knowledgeable dude. The Tennessee coach in 1962 was Bowden Wyatt. Jim McDonald took over in 1963. I'm guessing it was under Jim that the Vols passed on home boy Steve Spurrier.
  6. CBS Sports Ideas for 2026-27 PO Format. Good ideas on the whole. There are 136 teams eligible for the PO in 2026-27, not 135. There is no need for 2 G6 (CFB has a G6 and not a G5) teams in the field. This gives the 1st and 2nd seeds home game gimmes. Last season, No. 1 OBD would have played No. 16 Army. That No. 2 Georgia would have had to play No. 15 Clemson is absurd. Boise State should have been last season's No. 12 seed; Exhibit 'A' on the Committee's process being screwed up. If you want the best teams in the PO, why cap the B1G and the SEC at 4 teams? I do like 16 teams with no byes and home games until the semi-final and championship games. I'd have the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, and Orange Bowl as PO sites, not the Fiesta and Peach Bowls. I generally agree on the changes to the schedule, but the semifinals should be played on the 1st of January, the 2nd if the 1st falls on a Sunday. The Champ game should be played on a Saturday. If the NFL does not agree to block out an exclusive broadcast window on Champion Saturday, how about no more NFL on-campus Pro Days? And NFL scouts have to buy a ticket to attend CFB games. I love Notre Dame having to play 10 P4 teams. Getting rid of conference champ games sounds good, but how will the loss of media deal revenue be made up? Play the conference champ games Thanksgiving week on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Use the AP poll before Selection Sunday, with positive and negative outlier votes tossed out. Broadcast the CFB PO committee deliberations and require the committee to use publicly disclosed metrics as part of the process, and explain any variance from the use of a metric. Don't allow Greg Sankey to be a part of the PO design. 😁 How to fix the College Football Playoff: Format, schedule changes necessary with expansion on the horizon - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Tom Fornelli's complete guide to ensuring the best college football product as changes loom ahead of the 2026 season
  7. Is Sankey Schizo? Didn't he call out the PO committee last season for counting losses and not quality wins? Now, the 13 experts will certainly 'Get It?' Greg Sankey explains why he's in favor of keeping College Football Playoff selection committee over computers - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Greg Sankey is in favor of a College Football Playoff selection committee over utilizing computers to figure out who the top teams are. Why not the CBB committee approach of using human beings who rely upon disclosed metrics and explain if they go 'off-metric '? 'The SEC wants guaranteed PO spots because we don't trust the committee.' 'Oops, what we really want is our champ in and 11 teams chosen at large.' 'We need to play 9 conference games?' 'Oops, considering our conference has a gauntlet like no other, 8 games is just fine.' 'Let's have an SEC vs. B1G Football Challenge!' 'Oops, maybe not?' Is he trying to drive Tony Petitti crazy? 🤬
  8. Phillip Fulmer was the coach at Tennessee. Fulmer went 2-7 vs. Florida and Spurrier. 2-2 vs. Spurrier at South Carolina. (Disclosure: I looked this up. 🧑‍🎓)
  9. OBD, 1st on PSU and James Franklin's 2025 List - What does head coach James Franklin need to do to avoid the hot seat in 2025-26? VICTORYBELLRINGS.COM The strides made in the 2024-25 Penn State football season don't go unnoticed. If anything, they only make people expect more. For head coach James Franklin, no Danno, you just made the list, buddy. White Out! B1G Deal. PSU is overlooking the impact Charles and Company will have on this Week 5 game. 👍👌😁
  10. I think her play in the Olympics helped her confidence. A terrific athlete improving their game is great to watch. Caitlin Clark X'd on the US Open at Oakmont. was shown yesterday on NBC's broadcast: 'Does anyone have fun playing there? I wouldn't break 130!' Color Commentator Kevin Kisner - 'If she played from way back tees, she'd run out of ammunition before finishing her round.' 😁
  11. A Lesson in Never Giving Up US Open champion JJ Spaun turned a free fall into a title at rain-soaked Oakmont APNEWS.COM On a day built for umbrellas, J.J. Spaun reversed his own free fall, took advantage of everyone else’s and hit two shots that turned him into a major champion.
  12. I guess these two college sports 'experts' were too Soon(ers) at the bar and stayed later than closing time? 🍻 Understandable confusion, once upon a time, Nebraska was Oklahoma's biggest rival. 🙃 They're two Fly Over states, who cares? 😴
  13. Presumptuously jumping in. (I know, you're shocked 😁!) For younger Gators, it has to be the iconic Tebow. For a person in advanced middle age, I'll take Steve Spurrier as the all-time greatest Gator. Steve won games for the Gators at QB and also as Florida's head coach. Steve was known coast-to-coast well before (un)social media. In 1966, Spurrier won the Heisman Trophy. The 1st time a Gator won the Stiff-Arm. (I was a senior in HS and watched Steve play ball.) Spurrier finished with a college coaching record of 228-89-2, a .718% winning percentage. He amassed this record coaching Florida, which he transformed into an SEC power, as well as at 'punching bags', Duke and South Carolina. He was the SEC COY on 5 occasions and the ACC COY twice in three seasons at Duke. In 1996, under Spurrier, Florida won its first national title in football, defeating rival No. 1-ranked FSU 52 - 20 in the Sugar Bowl. The victory was made sweeter by Florida having lost 24-21 to the Seminoles in the regular season. If you have two QBs you have too many? In 1997, Spurrier took Florida to a 10-2 second-place SEC finish behind Tennessee, alternating QBs Doug Johnson and Jesse 'The Bachelor' Palmer on every play, and occasionally, also playing QB Noah Brandise. Spurrier's O was justifiably referred to as the 'Fun N Gun.' Tebow was one of the greatest Gators, but Spurrier elevated Florida as a player and a coach. Oh, and don't forget the great one-liners. In 1993, Florida State was put on probation for agents paying for free shopping trips at Foot Locker. (I know 🤣, compared to today?) Spurrier: 'You know what FSU stands for, don't you? Free Shoes U.' Asked about a fire at the Auburn football dormitory that destroyed twenty books. 'The real shame is that 15 hadn't been colored in yet.' 'You can have good ballplayers and still not win games. All you LSU fans know that' Spurrier loved to tweak his home state of Tennessee. 'Peyton Manning came back to Tennessee for his senior year because he wanted to be the first three-time MVP of the Citrus Bowl.' 'You can't spell Citrus Bowl without UT.' I rest my case 🤓.
  14. There's a reason why Golf is Flog spelled backwards.😁 One guy, JJ Spaun, who played his college golf at San Diego State, finished -1 to win the 125th playing of the US Open. Every other player finished over par. And these are the best players in the world.
  15. Shake Your $ Maker! FOOTBALL! And a Good Knight for Uncle Phil! 🍻
  16. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm? SC finished 4-5 versus the B1G and 2-0 versus the SEC. So, if SC changes conferences? 🤔 USC will dominate college football again, and that should scare everyone else REIGNOFTROY.COM Too many refuse to acknowledge how the improper NCAA sanctions from the coach Pete Carroll days affected USC. Not only has it been proven in court that it was a To Dominate 🙃 college football, don't you first have to qualify for the Playoffs?
  17. I wonder if this guy will waffle on his commitment🤪, or will Penn State have a double order of waffles? 😁😁 Penn State is in the running to land No. 6 EDGE recruit Luke Wafle VICTORYBELLRINGS.COM The Penn State Nittany Lions picked up transfer defensive tackle Owen Wafle, who previously played for conference rival Michigan, after the Orange Bowl. Now in
  18. When your Fraudulent Power Index has 81.25% of the SEC in the top 25 😜, I expect at least three SEC teams to go undefeated, with the three not-ranked SEC teams all going 0-8 in conference. 🦨
  19. USA takes a look back at what the PO fields would have been with a 16-team, 5-11 format. Big winner? Not the SEC, it's The B1G. Who benefits from College Football Playoff expansion to 16 teams? WWW.USATODAY.COM If College Football Playoff indeed expands to 16 teams, it will become a more attainable destination for three-loss teams from coast to coast. FWIW, I believe the B1G should go with the 5-11 format, IF the SEC plays 9 conference games.
  20. Good Luck, Yuck Yuck 😁 What is NIL Go, and why is it the latest subject of debate among college sports leaders? SPORTS.YAHOO.COM All NIL deals must now pass through a process run by Deloitte. It threatens to significantly scale back the millions of dollars being handed to athletes from booster-backed collectives. Lawyers are lining up to blow past NIL Go on their way to the courthouse.🦨

  24. Among the thousands of CFB preseason prognosticators, Phil Steele is usually the real deal. Phil Steele praises Penn State and projects a title-winning season VICTORYBELLRINGS.COM Phil Steele has high hopes for the Penn State Nittany Lions, and not only in the Big Ten. Whereas Ohio State triumphed to its first College Football Playoff cha Phil is far from the only playoff picker to be high on PSU. Yes, a quality new DC is on board, but isn't it the same old head coach and a pick-throwing QB? Week 5, OBD gets an upfront and personal look at the Nits.
