    Perhaps the conference that has won 13 of the past 18 national titles and sends the most players to the NFL every year should get the benefit of the doubt moving forward 🤷‍♂️

    South Carolina had 5 wins better than any win on Indiana’s resume. Alabama had 4. The committee rewarded IU for beating up on bad teams. This isn’t revisionist history.

    Looks like the UCF baseball team celebrated its sweep of Clemson by running down the hill at Death Valley. Not sure how they got in 🤷‍♂️

    Feel for Chad Holbrook, whose Charleston team went 41-14 and was left out. Covered Holbrook’s SC team that was 13-17 in the SEC, reached SEC tourney semis, had a 32 RPI and missed the tourney before he got fired. This year five 13-17 SEC teams made it

    Forget Duke-UNC... the greatest rivalry in sports is NC State vs. the NCAA.

    I still can't believe ESPN cut away from the most entertaining college football game of the day 4 times to watch Aaron Judge go 0-3 with a walk while trying to tie for the 7th-most homers in a single season

    Interesting that Florida State gets knocked for not looking as impressive without Jordan Travis against Louisville but not much is said about Bama needing a miracle to beat a 6-6 Auburn team.

    1-loss LSU: ranked. 1-loss Florida St: not ranked. Wish those teams would've played so we could see who is better.

    The point Nick Saban and Greg Byrne are making is that if SEC teams aren’t going to get credit for playing tougher league schedules, they’re not going to play tough OOC games and risk another unnecessary loss. It’s not about the fact that Bama didn’t lose a OOC game this year.
