I saw this stat brought up on the Menace 2 Sports show on Tuesday. Alabama had the #1 class in the country that year. Let’s go over the names and what happened to these guys: ➡️ Transferred to Colorado in November 2019 ➡️ Entered transfer portal last month ✅ Stayed at Alabama, drafted first round… Read More 17 of the 27 Recruits in Alabama’s 2019 Class Have Transferred
There was just too much money at stake for them to not get this figured out: So we’ve got obviously this year with the 4-team playoff. And then we have next year, which will be the last year of the 4-team playoff field. Then in 2024 it will expand to 12 teams permanently. I’m not… Read More 🚨 CFP Expansion Confirmed for 2024 Season
I was bullish on Ohio State’s chances against Michigan until I saw how all over Big Noon Kickoff and College Gameday, they were non-stop with the “Michigan hasn’t won in Columbus since 2000, is this the year they finally get it done???” talk. I don’t believe in jinxes but I do believe in foreshadowing, and… Read More Where Does Ohio State Go From Here?
Thanks to Michigan and Ohio State both escaping this past weekend, we now get to witness the biggest rivalry in college sports with both teams at 11-0. This is the first time since 2006 that both teams have entered “The Game” undefeated. That year, Ohio State was ranked #1 and Michigan was #2, and the… Read More Ohio State vs. Michigan, CXVIII: Who Will Win?
Whoa! This was supposed to be the calm before the storm. Georgia playing pathetic Kentucky, Ohio State playing perpetual Big Ten doormat Maryland, Michigan playing faltering Illinois, TCU playing disappointing Baylor, Tennessee playing a badly inconsistent South Carolina team coming off a 38-6 loss to Florida, This Kentucky team just lost to VANDERBILT last week.… Read More College Football Week 11 Reactions, Hot Takes and CFP Implications
Notable action from week 11 Bama is winning games on pure talent alone. Nick Saban, Bill O’Brien and Pete Golding are not outcoaching anyone. Looking just at power five opponents, and excluding Vanderbilt, who has Saban outcoached? With as much of a talent advantage as Bama has, I will define outcoaching someone as winning by… Read More CFB Week 11 Hot Takes, Observations and Flag Plants
This is the strangest betting line I’ve seen for this week of college football, maybe all season: LSU, who just beat Alabama, is only a 3.5 point favorite over Arkansas, who just lost to Liberty. Liberty! The game is at Arkansas, so that explains some of it, but this is overall very disrespectful to LSU,… Read More Why is LSU Only -3.5 Over Arkansas?
They’ve lost two games this year, by a total of four combined points, and both games were lost on the last play of the game. They were in the National Championship game 10 months ago, and probably would’ve won had Jameson Williams not torn his ACL in the first half. They won a National Championship… Read More Alabama Football is on Fumes Right Now. Is This Saban’s Last Ride?
I’ve been thinking about it, and I’m willing to cut Ryan Day some slack for one major reason: He’s only in his 4th season as a head coach. He’s only 43 years old. Even Kirby Smart is only 46 (turning 47 next month), but he’s been a head coach since 2016. He’s got an additional… Read More I’ve Been too Harsh on Ohio State and Ryan Day
The noon window: Okay, yes, A&M eventually lost that game 41-24. A&M is a disaster this year. But I thought given how many players they were missing, they played well. Just look at this: Alas, Texas A&M is now on pace for their first losing season since 2009. They are now 3-6 and unlikely to… Read More CFB Week 9 Reactions, Hot Takes and Observations
