He sat and learned from Dylan last year and still hasn't grasped being a starter. Maybe he'll go back to play for Lebby at Miss. St.

Poor Wazzu. Oklahoma is poaching their QB, Mateer. Maybe they can snag Arnold.

This quote from Warde Manuel tells us everything we need to know regarding SMU's fate if they lose on Saturday. He just added the word "potentially" to his response to throw everybody off. Warde was also asked directly if SMU could fall below Alabama, and he responded, "Potentially, yes."

These uniforms are pretty wicked.

SMU should play and win the ACC. There was always going to be four SEC teams in this playoff. Even if it meant putting a slew of 9-3 teams in the 9-12 seeds. The committee’s justification is codified in their protocols that were posted on ESPN yesterday. Just listening to the committee chairman talk with Rece Davis last night reminded me of this gem of a rant. My favorite quote from this rant: “We don’t need to solve this on the field because we’re the ones that know”. All these years later and nothing has changed.

Sometimes when a guy that big comes in the S&C coaches will try to rebuild their bodies. This typically requires a lot of hard work from the player because there is a lot of dieting to go along with the conditioning. The player has to be extremely disciplined in order to make the transformation. I’m not saying this was the case, but it’s possible.

I like how their own signing day discussion thread devolved into talking about Oregon.

USC might have some possible recruits we can flip.

Two of the top five protocols the committee uses are head to head and result against a common opponent. If PSU loses by more than one point they have the justification to bump them down.

Peyton Bowen's shenanigans last year is understandably giving everybody pause this year. I get the feeling Offord's mom is going to talk him into signing with Auburn which was where he was projected to flip to.

This is great. But, as we learned last year choosing an Oregon hat on early signing day means nothing if they don't actually send in the written letter of athletic aid which replaces the old LOI.

Akili Smith Jr. 'very solid' with Oregon, eager to compete if Ducks bring in another quarterback WWW.SI.COM The Oregon Ducks locked in Lincoln (California) four-star quarterback Akili

Oregon just signed Dorian Brew. He is their highest rated 4-star.

I hope he'll be playing baseball as well.

Just this.

Right now, the only Oregon commit who is projected to flip is Dorian Brew to Ohio State.

Cure sticking with KSU.

This signing is huge. Wilson was projected to flip to the Gators. 5-Star Dallas Wilson Signs With Oregon Ducks Despite Florida Gators Pushing for Flip WWW.SI.COM Five-star wide receiver recruit Dallas Wilson has signed with the Oregon Ducks despite being predicted to flip his commitment to Florida Gators. Both Steve Wil

There are still a few flips in the mix, but I understand the excitement of waiting for a guy to pick a hat. The Peyton Bowen situation was kind of exciting, but He flipped to OU pretty quickly after flipping to Oregon. I hope he enjoys the Birmingham bowl this year.

Dakorian has signed.

Division II uses a pretty good model. They have 28 teams and it's only 5 weeks which would add one week to our playoffs. The only difference is they use regional playoffs until they get to the semi-finals (NE, SE, MW, West) which is due to money and travel. The top ranked team from each region gets a bye while the next six play the first round. They're down to 16 teams in week two and so on. 2024 Division II Football Official Bracket | NCAA.com WWW.NCAA.COM The official 2024 College Football Bracket for Division II.

Early good news is OBD held off PSU for Brandon Finney Jr. Linkon cure will decide between Oregon and KSU at 11:30 MT. Updates to follow.

Lanning goes undefeated with only two first-team players and doesn’t win COY? I guess he should’ve played an easier schedule like Cignetti did.

Yep. The Bama’s, Georgia’s and the Clemson’s would be nowhere near the 4 team playoff this year. We thought they expanded the playoff to 12 teams to open the door for Cinderella. But, all it did was allow for more wicked step sisters to come crashing through.

Once the conference championship games are concluded things will change. If PSU loses they will drop below OSU in the final rankings because of the H2H loss. Texas and UGA will certainly change some seedings. The Dawgs would drop below Bama for sure due to their H2H loss. If Oregon loses they could drop to 5 or 6 depending on how the committee views Notre Dame. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time the Irish got their golden domes polished by the voters.
