A shame the brand is keeping Bama in. Any objective person watching college football can see that South Carolina is a better football team than Bama, who has played bad the last 6 weeks.

I think they are the same tier teams.  I think most of the top 25 really is.  I’d probably let head to head settle the differences.  That OU loss would make me think long and hard though.  With no dog in that fight, I could understand it either way

Mack Brown is starting to cry about how he was fired claiming he was going to retire all along but the school wanted it to be announced before the State game and he wanted to wait until after. Surely he doesn't think anyone believes that line of pure bullshit. The man had just been publicly talking about his plans to return next year. Seems pretty obvious they were trying to get him to retire and he refused then tried to pull a power move and talk about returning thinking they wouldn't be willing to fire him and he was wrong about that. Now he wants to play this victim bullshit. fug off Mack. That doesn't make a damn bit of sense that they'd fire you kete days before you were going to retire.

I read this comment from Bubba:

We've had some inconsistencies," Cunningham said. "We had a lot of ambiguity about what our future looked like, and we needed clarity. This year in particular, we were up and down. We had all the things – the James Madison postgame thing — and i was really hopeful that he and I could agree what the future would be and when we would make that decision and go forward. But ultimately, we couldn't."

Cunningham said the pair have been having conversations about future and about "clarity" since the James Madison game.

The administration offered Brown, the winningest coach in program history, the chance to retire, sources said. Brown said during a press conference Monday that his intention was to coach the Tar Heels in 2025.

"I said that we're going to have a different coach next year, and we couldn't agree about how," Cunningham said.

Yeah, for Mack to pretend like he got the rug jerked out from under him mere days before he was planning to announce his retirement really soils his legacy IMO. It's a lie and it's not even a believable lie. You'd literally been saying in the days leading up to it that you planned to return next year and why would they fire you if you were planning to retire? It just doesn't add up.

Head to head is a poor argument given the trajectory of both teams. If you eliminate FSU last year because they lost their QB. 

 

Why not reward the team who's Freshman QB has caught fire since early in the season when that game was played. 

 

Also adding to the fact SC should only have 2 losses as they were robbed in that LSU game.

well, every fanbase can argue if it wasn’t for the refs they would have won a game they lost.   But aside from that, I’m good either way.   SC or Bama.   I think that will be far down the list of complaints when the dust settles.  

frankly I’m rooting for chaos so the CFP has to really show their hands and set precedence year 1 of the 12 team format.   Or outrage is generated so they fix the format/criteria

Typically one can. But it was argued at a NATIONAL level that they got screwed and my biggest complaint about Beamer is his aw shucks attitude about everything. He should have gone piss and vinegar about it and ate that fine given he makes several mil per year. 

 

He had another opportunity in his post game presser and didn't take it. If he gets left out he will have only himself to blame.

What I really wish happened in football in both college and pro….is after a game is over and the league/conference/refs “explain” what happened on a call…..that explanation was public info.   Because you know sometimes the response is….well, we got that one wrong. 

I’d love to hear the explanation on the Mafah fumble.   Clemson runs a play to the SC 20.  They then blow the whistle after that play to go back to review the play before that.    And they give SC the ball despite the fact that play was blown dead before SC “recovered” the ball.   I mean you don’t even have to get into the was he down with possession argument/fumble/lateral part.   No point arguing that component.  How do you rewind the clock like that after a full play is off AND then how do you award possession for what happened after a play was blown dead.

Did App State fire Sean Clark?

why Travis Hunter shouldn't win the Heisman? Because even Colorado isn't willing to actually sell that narrative. 

Colorado just sent their marketing to all Heisman voters for who should win....

it's HeisMEN.  Plural.  With Shueder listed first. 

Give my boy Jeanty the award. His numbers blow the last 2 Heisman RBs out of the water.

lol at Alabama sneaking back in to the CFP.

Are you really surprised?

 

This is all about money. Alabama is the #1 attraction to college football. No way they were getting left out.

And when Travis doesn’t win….you can credit Deion for not helping in the end.  Deion controls all.  So that marketing pitch to all the Heisman voters was all Deion Sanders message.    And he prioritized his son….because that’s always been why he was in college football.  It’s family business.
