@mikerodak @nfldraftscout Who cares about his opinion? He said this about Derrick Henry.
Matt Miller@nfldraftscout
Derrick Henry is Marcel Reese, or Brandon Jacobs, in the NFL. Lacks agility/wiggle to ever break free vs pros. Could be good short-yard guy
English
ESPN's @nfldraftscout said he "couldn't find a single team that would give [Ty Simpson a first-round grade] during conversations at the Senior Bowl."
That comes after Jason Simpson told ESPN that every NFL GM he contacted had a 1st Rd. grade on his son.

The highest-graded defender in the NFL this season:
WILL ANDERSON JR
PFF@PFF
Despite the loss, Will Anderson Jr had a legendary performance vs the Patriots 💥

@jjfuller72 @RyanTriTraining Is the NFL draft biased towards the SEC as well??
English
@RyanTriTraining REALLY overvalues recruiting rankings… which are skewed towards giving higher rankings in the SEC footprint to start with.
It all just becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.
“Objectivity” only matters when it’s not a garbage system in the first place. GIGO principle.
English
Find someone who loves you like ESPN metrics love the SEC
I’ve done a deeper dive here & they’re just not trying to hide it anymore (ESPN & SEC bias)
Preseason ESPN FPI had SEC CFB teams with the top 11 hardest SOSs & all 16 in the top 20, despite only playing 8 in-conf games
Now ESPN BPI has all 16 SEC MBB teams in the top 19 hardest remaining SOSs when they’ve had an off year in non-conf play
No other metrics agree and the predictive/future SOS are major outliers
Time for full transparency of any metric by any media company that has a financial vested interest in the parties involved.

The SEC has 16 of the top 19 toughest remaining schedules in college basketball (per ESPN BPI): • No. 1 Kentucky • No. 2 Purdue • No. 3 Vanderbilt • No. 4 Arkansas • No. 5 Oklahoma • No. 6 South Carolina • No. 7 Georgia • No. 8 Mississippi State • No. 9 Tennessee • No. 10 Ole Miss • No. 11 Missouri • No. 12 LSU • No. 13 Auburn • No. 14 Alabama • No. 15 Michigan • No. 16 Arizona • No. 17 Texas • No. 18 Florida • No. 19 Texas A&M

@JoshPateCFB Alabama’s offense* made these boys play 99 snaps.
15 of 17 offensive drives went for 5 plays or less.
7 drives went three-and-out.
Hard to play 4 quarters of elite defense when you’re on the field for that many plays. They’d held Clemson to 14 points and 273 yards through 3Q.
English
Deshaun Watson made these boys play 99 snaps and tossed it for 420 & 3
MattBeGreat@mattbegreatyt
That 2016 Alabama defense was INSANE. Every single one of these guys were GREAT at their said position. Zero weakness

“Everybody would just remember me as the guy who took all this money and went to Miami or Tennessee for his last year. But I was a captain. I put my hand and footprints in the cement at Denny Chimes. I would have lost everything that I built at Alabama.” — Ty Simpson

NEW: Massive NIL offers from other schools couldn't delay Ty Simpson's NFL dreams, he tells @Clowfb🙏 Tennessee, Miami and Ole Miss were offering $4M, and the Hurricanes upped it to $6.5M “Miami was kind of like, ‘All right, we’re moving on,’ and then they lost out on Sam Leavitt and came back with that big number,” Simpson said. “And then Ole Miss called again and said they could match it.” Story: on3.com/news/massive-n…

@DrewALine33 @jontweetssports @Vern_Funquist Texas needed OT to beat juggernauts Kentucky and Mississippi State, lost to 4-8 Florida, and got dominated by OSU and UGA in a year they were supposed to be the favorite to win the Natty.
Maybe you should sit this one out.
English
@jontweetssports @Vern_Funquist Talking like Alabama is some big bad juggernaut anymore 💀
Georgia has had Texas’ number but that’s it.
English
This is not shade at Texas at all. These are really good gets in the portal.
But the narrative that “man this team is loaded” like it’s not literally the same level of talent they’ve had the last 3 seasons without a title is wild.
English
@papameaggs @FjordFjairlane @bbbbready @DylanEveryday The “closest first round game”? Let’s be serious lol. Those that watched the game know it was an absolute blowout, as it was 27-3 until 1:27 left in 4th quarter. 50% of their yards also came in the last 2 drives of the game, in garbage time.
English
@AlabamaFBStats @FjordFjairlane @bbbbready @DylanEveryday They played the closest first round game against the second best team in the country that year, Notre dame beat Georgia by more than they beat Indian, what do you have to judge them as not being a top 12 team that year other than historical data which means absolutely nothing?
English
Would be a real shame if we revisited Herbstreit’s 2024 Indiana take
English
@FjordFjairlane @bbbbready @DylanEveryday That team was absolutely not a top 12 team in college football. They had a blowout loss in which they had 6 yards of offense against OSU outside of their first and last (garbage time) drive of the game. Kirk was 100% right with this take.
English
@bbbbready @DylanEveryday A team that wins 11 games and goes 8-1 in the Big Ten while only losing to a top-three team is one of the twelve best teams in college football.
English
@SCfactsonly @SSN_Alabama That was nowhere near as bad. Alabama moved the ball up and down the field all game, and actually outgained Clemson until the last drive of the game. Just couldn’t score in the red zone because of Mike Locksley’s incompetent play-calling.
English
That was the worst and most disappointing Alabama loss since ______
English
@DreCorleone__ @joshclackler I will say they probably matter a lot less now in the portal era.
English
@DreCorleone__ @joshclackler They’ve always mattered, look at the teams to win a national championship over the last 10+ years. What Cignetti is doing is a huge outlier.
Team talent based on national champs:
2015: 1
2016: 9
2017: 1
2018: 6
2019: 5
2020: 2
2021: 2
2022: 2
2023: 14
2024: 3
English
Absolutely pathetic effort all the way around. DeBoer is on the hot seat going into 2026. Making a Quarterfinal game and not even competing is not remotely close to the standard.
English
@TheRealCruzOx Good job turning a 3-score game into a 3-score game there.
