Who could've predicted the State of college football , just six years ago?. If I told you that Indiana, and Ole Miss, were two wins away from winning a national championship. The head coaches of these teams would be a guy who didn't get a head coaching gig in the FBS, until he was in his sixties. The other would be a guy who was only two games into being a head coach. Would anybody believe that? Crazy times.

Remember the clown that Charles pointed out earlier this week? Well, he evidently hasn't learned his lesson, or he's proven he is truly missing the r in his last name. Indiana proved that the bye doesn't matter, as long as you are heads & shoulders ahead of your opponent. Which this guy was saying Texas Tech was. But Texas Tech got blanked, they were the worst team in the quarters. Alabama won a road playoff game, and had top ten wins. Tech beat nobody, outside of Utah, or BYU. But this guy says Tech only lost because of the layoff. I was hoping he'd show a grain of sense, but I lost brain cells checking up on this guy again. I had forgotten about his nonsense until I saw the Tech thread.

Will he get a ring if they win the whole thing?

Who had Indiana, Miami, Ole Miss, and Oregon, as the F4 to start the season? Gotta give that Rebel squad a hand. Georgia had a nine point lead at halftime, and they normally just squeeze you till you are paste, in the second half.

Ole Miss 34 Georgia 24. Just over nine minutes left.

Ole Miss is leading 27 to 24. Just over ten minutes left.

Two down ....Two to go!!!!!! Go get it Ducks!!!!!!!

Oregon has a great fanbase, but I imagine last week's home playoff ticket wasn't cheap. Flying to Miami, getting a hotel room, and buying a ticket are a bundle. The travel alone will price out a lot of people. These people who write these stories don't list traveling, lodging, and food prices. Especially on New Years Day, Miami isn't cheap on a random day in September. Texas Tech doesn't really have a large traveling fanbase like Notre Dame, Penn State, or Ohio State, to offset the Oregon travel dilemma either.

But 0-1 in playoff games, and hopefully 0-2 after Thursday .

Hey now, Willie Nelson was before Snoop Dogg now. Bob Marley, and Dean Martin should get some consideration as well.

That dude posts clickbait all the time. He CAPITALIZES EVERYTHING!!! HIS TITLES ALWAYS SAY THINGS LIKE " NOTRE DAME LEAVING ACC, JOINING BIG 12!!!!!" OR " MIAMI BEGGING TO JOIN BIG 12 RIGHT NOW!!!" I can't take anything he says seriously. It's like those tabloid magazines that said Bill Clinton had a baby with an alien, or Barney the Dinosaur outed as CIA informant.

I always used to watch the Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve. That, and the Holiday Bowl were always around. I still like watching these games, I wish they could be used as something like a G6 playoff going forward though.

It should be in Compton though, like an old high school stadium. The old Snoop Dogg wouldn't have it any other way. This version of Snoop Dogg, does commercials with Martha Stewart.

Last night we had life sized pop tarts, coming out of a huge toaster. Following what was an actually great game between BYU, and Georgia Tech. BYU is now the Pop Tarts Bowl champions. For what that's worth. Coming up, we'll have a winning coach, get doused in mayonnaise. In the Dukes Mayo Bowl. We also have a bowl game, where life sized Cheeze-Its will be in the stands, and on the sidelines. In, you guessed it, the Cheeze-It Bowl. Not to mention the Snoop Dog Bowl, that was also played yesterday. I'm guessing with player opt outs, transfers, and teams opting out like Notre Dame, Kansas State, Iowa State, and a a non bowl eligible Florida State(for some reason). These are the gimmicks, you need to make people watch these bowl games. If old Beano Cook was still alive, I wonder what he'd be saying about the state of today's game. How would Bear Bryant, Joe Paterno, Woody Hayes, or Bo Schembechler react? Imagine Joe Paterno on a stage with a giant Cheeze-It, or Bear Bryant celebrating ,while a giant pop tart is jumping on the stage. How would Woody Hayes react to getting Mayo dumped on him? Would Bo Schembechler know one Snoop Dogg song?

Well Kyle is taking the offensive coordinator from Utah, and the defensive coordinator from BYU. He's not going to coach the bowl game, as originally planned. He's flying to Orlando tonight, to meet with his new team. No transition, no goodbyes. He's now 100 percent invested in Michigan. I heard that Kyle might have been pushed into retirement, mainly because Utah wanted to hand the reigns over to their new head coach, somebody who they feared would take another job, if not promoted this off-season. Not known, but speculated by a few Ute insiders, whatever that means. I will say that this is about as good as Michigan could've hoped for. This late into the game, and with the crap storm of drama. Get away from the toxic Michigan man thing, we see what Michigan men have done the last decade. Heck your most revered coach, Bo Schembechler was a Buckeye😲.

Well Urban went to Ohio State, and his successor went to Michigan. Who knew that Utah bred future coaches for 'The Game'.

Merry Christmas!!! I hope all of you are enjoying this day however you want to. Be it around a large family, or be it with whomever you choose. Be it, a furry family member, or even just solitary. Know that no matter what, you have love on this day. Today we celebrate the greatest gift given to us all. Now with that said, I hope Santa gifted you with some great Duck mementos. Perhaps the first ever National Title, as a late delivery.

Bora Bora, Barbados, Baltimore....😅

Two things I want to be rectified before next year's playoff. Put the best 12, 16, or whatever number in. Seed them correctly, and don't give the higher seeded team a road game against a lower seeded opponent. Like Ohio State would've gotten, if Texas A&M would've won. Don't give any guaranteed spots to P6/ or Notre Dame. If they don't merit a ranking, based off their wins, and loss record. Don't put them in because of arbitrary language. That means Notre Dame has to play at least ten teams from a P4 league. They have to have good wins, and have them ranked in the top twelve range. (I don't like a three loss team from the SEC or B1G either, but tbh those teams are still going to be more deserving than a two loss AAC, or one loss Sun Belt program, with zero P4 wins.) If the P6 doesn't have an undefeated program, with at least two P4 wins, they don't qualify. You have to do what Cincy did in 2021, or UCF did in 2017. You have to do what Boise State did in 2000's-2010's. Notre Dame doesn't have to join a league, but they have to pay a competitive tag for not being in one. They get all the playoff shares to themselves, and all the television revenue from their NBC deal. That's great, but USC, Michigan, Ohio State, and every other 'Blueblood' that you want to play, won't play you on your terms anymore. You have to budge, you have to move. Those programs don't control nine out of twelve games. Those programs have big in conference rivalries in November, while you've been feasting on turkey legs. USC isn't going to play Oregon, and Notre Dame in back to back weeks.

He's going to Barbados for a weekend. He'll be back..... Always look at the wording, and......

If I was a gambler, the one game I would've picked the favorite to cover a three score game in a playoff, would've been this one. It seems like Oregon just lost focus after going up 48-13. James Madison didn't have the speed on the outside to challenge Oregon. The Dukes averaged less than two yards a rush in the first half. In the second, they were averaging over five. That's more than Indiana, USC, Penn State, Iowa, or Washington. I like to give credit to the opponent, but Oregon just lost gap integrity imo. It's a good thing I'm not a gambler, because my first bet would've been on Oregon covering. I think Oregon is a 1.5 favorite right now over Texas Tech. It's still early, so we'll see how the line moves.

Thanks Charles. Thanks Jon. That game was really over before the half. Lanning seemed to be really angry about giving up 28 points in the second. Keep the foot on the gas pedal boys!!! One down...three to go!!!

Maybe a parent trap situation. Kalen went to a pristine academic, and astute aristocratic family, that loves fancy offense. Meanwhile Brent went to a more blue collar, nose to the grindstone country bred school of hard knocks, that loved gritty defense.

I thought Oregon was going to be in the market, and likely the favorites to land Leavitt, or Sorsby.
