Here we go: Again, no team, in my view, deserves to be elevated up to that Death Star tier, even the 13-1 Eagles. It’s not because they went on the road to Chicago and got caught up in a dog-fight with a 3-11 team. I understand stuff like that can happen when it’s late in… Read More NFL Week 16 Tiers: Every Team Summarized in One Sentence; Refs Are Ruining the League
We know the Miami Hurricanes of the early 2000s are among some of the greatest teams in college football history. NFL talent all over the field, on both sides of the ball, dominant wins over programs of all different conferences, and a 34 game winning streak that began on September 23, 2000 and didn’t end… Read More CFB History Lesson: Why Didn’t the 2000 Miami Hurricanes Get a Chance to Play for the BCS National Championship?
And so is the transfer portal, too. I don’t care if this isn’t “pro-player.” Everyone these days is obsessed with being “pro-player,” as opposed to “pro-coach” or, even worse, “pro-owner.” In college football, I guess it would be “pro-NCAA” or “pro-program” instead of pro-owner, but you get what I mean. Player empowerment in sports has… Read More NIL is a Complete and Total Disaster
2021 was the last full recruiting cycle before the NIL floodgates opened. Since then, we have seen some absolute craziness. In the 2022 recruiting cycle, after NIL was legalized, Texas A&M pulled in not only the top recruiting class in the country that year, but the greatest recruiting haul ever.

Mike Leach is an irreplaceable part of… Read More Mike Leach: The Father of Modern Football
Here we go, hot off the presses following the Patriots’ 27-13 win over the Cardinals on Monday Night Football: Okay, the Eagles might really be in the Death Star tier. Now 12-1, they appear to be getting better, actually, which is kind of rare when it comes to these teams that have extremely dominant regular… Read More NFL Week 15 Tiers | Every Team Summarized in One Sentence | PLUS: NFL QBS AS NBA PLAYERS
I’m getting more and more nuanced and elaborate with the tiers: At this point in the season, I felt it necessary to leave the top tier empty. Nobody is worthy of being up there. Many years there isn’t a team worthy of being put up in that Death Star tier. I’m talking a team like… Read More NFL WEEK 14 TIER LIST | EACH TEAM DESCRIBED IN ONE SENTENCE
Everyone knows not to take the preseason rankings too seriously, yet it’s hard not to fall into the mindset of treating the preseason rankings as if they’re “correct” or at least warranted. That number next to the teams can really fool you, because early on, there’s not a whole lot for us to grab on… Read More How Wrong Were the College Football Preseason Rankings?
We’ve got #1 seed Georgia hosting squaring off with #4 seed Ohio State in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. The Buckeyes only got in because USC got boatraced on Friday night in the Pac 12 Championship by Utah. Then we’ve got #2 Michigan taking on #3 TCU in the Fiesta Bowl down in the desert.… Read More The 2022 College Football Playoff is Set: Who Will Win The National Championship?
I saw this stat brought up on the Menace 2 Sports show on Tuesday. Alabama had the #1 class in the country that year.
