Maybe we didn’t need to give the SEC 14 bids

Gonzaga 27, Georgia 3. That is a real score.

Texas won exactly 1 of the last 14 Big 12 titles. They’re leading the SEC in their first year in the conference.

Lane Kiffin takes a shot at the ACC and Big 12 over College Football Playoff rankings👀 “It’s ridiculous, the difference of playing in the SEC and the ACC and Big 12… To think that you’re looking at schools and you’re talking about, like, Clemson’s schedule and who they played

Joe Burrow has officially matched the “lose a Super Bowl thanks to your brutal OL” part of Patrick Mahomes’ resume. Only an MVP, Super Bowl MVP, and three more conference title games to go.

It is unbearable on here. This sport is broken in so many ways, and it’s clear that the SEC mafia is going to complain its way straight to a Super League or its own playoff sooner rather than later. It goes against everything that makes this sport great, and will ruin it over

It truly is the genesis of it all. College football has always been and always will be unfair. For the first time in about 20 years, that didn’t benefit the SEC, and they don’t know how to handle it. It’s like a trust fund kid who gets told no for the first time.

It’s so funny that one SEC team is left out of the tourney and it broke the brains of people who cover the sport.

Now seems like a good time to mention that BYU's resume was criminally disrespected, and the Big 12 should have 100% been in the conversation as a two-bid league

Hey @YouTubeTV how about “in good faith” you just credit my account without me having to follow instructions to redeem a credit that doesn’t at all cover the fact that ESPN’s networks are the primary reason I’m a subscriber

Kansas at Missouri is so much more at the core of what makes college football great than two bloated brands who combined to go 14-12 last year.

It makes sense that Alabama would come out of the gates slow today. They just had to play a full season's worth of hypothetical games (all wins, obvi) in the last month.

Why are college sports so hellbent on making college sports tangibly worse for all involved?

Executives are “inching closer” to an agreement to expand the NCAA tournament to 76 teams with a 12-game “opening round” played at two sites starting in 2026-27, per @RossDellenger.
