Marcel Reed throws like Darron Thomas, but with less accuracy. He’s also a one read and tuck it QB. There are plenty of open receivers if he would follow his progressions.

Wayne Knight always delivers.

In the past 40 years only four QB's who were picked first overall won the Super Bowl (Aikman, Manning, Manning, Stafford). In that same time span, only nine QB who were picked in the first round won the Super Bowl and one of those guys (Dilfer) wasn't a franchise QB. There are very few QB's who have the ability to turn a franchise around and most first round QB's are expected to do exactly that. Dante is going to be a high draft pick due to his arm strength. Therefore it would serve him well to get as much experience as he can before he is expected to turn around a bad franchise. If he's lucky he'll get picked by a team looking to replace an aging starter and he gets a chance to learn like Aaron Rogers did.

I heard there’s another “ham” who just left Utah who is rumored to have mutual interest with Michigan. I understand his and Dilly’s interest in that sort of high profile position. They both have proven they can win in the Big 12 and they know that anything bigger than a conference championship is a pipe dream without significant investment. I think they want to be in a position where the resources are plentiful. Dilly has been on record practically begging for more investment into his program. Earlier this year he was saying how he wanted an indoor practice facility that could double as an indoor tailgating area on game day. He has coached at Oregon and Auburn. He knows that doing more with less can only take him so far.

Raiola is the dude who imitates Patrick Mahomes to an obsessive degree. Same hair, same number, same mannerisms, etc. It wouldn’t surprise me if he transferred to Texas Tech.

Notre Dame has some brass maracas calling out the ACC for favoring their own teams. The ACC is the only conference keeping their strength of schedule afloat. Once the SEC goes to nine conference games they will cancel any future scheduled games with them. If they don’t have the ACC then they will be nothing more than a strong team who plays a G6 schedule. It’s going to be very difficult to break into the top 12 with no P4 opponents. Why on Earth would any P4 team schedule a game with them? The only ones I can see doing it are cash-poor teams at the bottom of their conferences who won’t move the SOS needle.

This sort of thing has a tendency to galvanize a team. I don’t think there will be a huge drop off.

A&M would've dropped to 4th in the old format after they lost to Texas.

SEC because they claim to play tough schedules but they only play 8 conference games. A&M didn’t play one SEC playoff team this year. I’ll give the other four playoff teams credit for beating a SEC playoff team this season, but a lot of their ranked games came from playing Mizzou, Vandy, and Tennessee. However, it’s not just this season. Did you know that A&M has been in the SEC since 2012 and has only played UGA once in the regular season? UGA and Bama only met once during the regular season during the years of the 4-team playoff format. They’ve gone out of their way to protect their big name teams. Lastly, Bama getting to play for the BCS championship and go to the playoff without winning their division is pretty lame as well.

Carson Beck against UGA’s defense is a matchup I want to see. Something tells me there will be a few late hits.

I actually think they will boat race the Aggies. Texas exposed them.

We’ve had good luck with pass catchers from Idaho.

The committee finally put Miami ahead of Notre Dame because the media pundits started to really call them out for their BS. They had no choice. They would’ve looked like biased idiots if they hadn’t switched them. I’ve always been of the opinion that championship game competitors shouldn’t be punished for losing if they would’ve gotten in without playing. However, Bama has been the beneficiary of getting into the old four team format with even winning their division, so I think they should’ve been left out. OU or Indiana will keep them from playing us which is kind of unfortunate.

Weather won’t be a factor. Harrisonburg, VA is colder than Eugene this time of year. The biggest factor will be talent.

Apparently, FanDuel leaked the spreads for the first round of the playoff. Miami is out. Notre Dame is in. Oregon opens up with JMU -20.5. This could all be fake since the seeds are messed up. NOTE: Yep. It was fake. Mario is going to the show.

Bama sat some starters due to injury, so the committee will likely put them in at 10. I don’t see Miami jumping Notre Dame due to their two conference losses in a really bad ACC. UGA deserves the two seed and Ohio State deserves the three seed. However, something tells me the committee is going to drop Ohio State to the four seed to ensure a SEC team has the opportunity to play in the national championship game.

Novosad and Moga will probably transfer. If that happens they have to transfer between January 2-16 which is during the playoffs.

JMU or Tulane. How does Miami get in when they couldn’t win a championship in a conference with a 8-4 conference champion?

Duke will win in OT. They’re just prolonging the agony.

The lack of fans at this championship game tells me they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs. Embarrassing turnout.

Once again, Ryan Day’s head will be requested to be served on a platter. He had the ball inside the red zone twice and scored zero points. Kind of like the Michigan game last season.
