@ChrisGordy @AdamSpolane Legit power programs win the natty lmao

@AdamSpolane Legit power programs test themselves early

Just to point out, in the first three weeks of the season while College Gameday is visiting 3 consecutive SEC campuses… Reigning National Champ Indiana will be playing 3 home games vs North Texas, Howard & Western Kentucky

You don't get it. It's the 2026 Schedule Release! 📰 bit.ly/435yJlI

@nightshiftaf @Real1JMT @DavisBakerTV A natural play is getting the ball stuck in Wrigley Field’s vines on the back wall. Sliding over the ball is no more natural than stepping on it. You don’t make rules that force the referee to judge the naturalness of a player’s ability to jam a ball into the ground.

@NickHudnell1 @Real1JMT @DavisBakerTV It's a natural play on the ball that affected the trajectory. The expectation is the ground shouldn't be so soft as to embed the ball to a point it can't be retrieved. Intentionally stomping on it isn't a natural play on the ball.

Don't think I've ever seen this before in baseball. Biscuits outfielder Austin Overn rips a ball down the right field line, right fielder slides over the ball, ball gets lodged into the ground so deep it turns into an inside-the-park home run. Then it takes MULTIPLE players to try and dig it out, which lasted minutes. @wsfa12sports @wsfa12news @BiscuitBaseball

@nightshiftaf @Real1JMT @DavisBakerTV It was the fielder that lodged the ball. If this was the correct interpretation of the rule, you could abuse it and stomp any ball into the grass to turn a triple into a forced double.

@Real1JMT @DavisBakerTV Correct, the rule states that if the trajectory of the ball is hindered in any way it is a ground rule double. The fact it had to be dug out of the field means it falls quite literally into this exact rule.

@ByuSome @Flander1649 They’ll be rated higher than their actual ability next year just because they got a golden schedule. If they can beat Wisconsin and Maryland, they’ll go 9-3, minimum.

@Flander1649 Yah, but Penn State isn't gonna be a top 20 team next year. Not even close.

Penn State and Florida? Really? Absolutely no way.

@barstoolsports @MacrodosingPod Hey was LeBron the only team in the playoffs? Should we also roast every other all-star for NOT winning this “free” ring? Every team still had to go actually win playoff games.

Is the Bubble Championship a fake ring?

@mistercane1 @LucasPeter2017 @Romancane Dawg this was in response to a Miami fan calling Indiana’s team old. While your team’s starters were older. Don’t let your fans call a team old to cope when your team is even older.

@LucasPeter2017 @Romancane So we were older by a couple months... And you apparently think that's a huge gap? You are most likely wearing a mask as we speak

Depends. How many 32 year olds does he have on the roster this year ?

In this format, Michigan and Ohio State will just be able to rest their starters in The Game knowing they will both already have clinched spots in a 24-team playoff. This would be the complete and utter ruining of a once sacred regular season.

Gonna be sick when this 24 team CFP gets approved and teams start sitting their starters during rivalry week 🤮

@lPaytonl @crazyunclelou Florida has averaged out, alright.

@crazyunclelou Law of averages

This man's belief in Florida over the last 3 years needs to be studied by sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists, epidemiologists, and Neil Degrasse Tyson. Its like a weather that blindly predicts it to rain "tomorrow" during a 5 year drought. Like the weatherman, he will eventually be right and then expect us to forget he was wrong for all those years.

I don't write longform stories very often. But three months later, I'm still endlessly fascinated by Curt Cignetti and national champion Indiana. Read it for free: The story of their journey to the top. nytimes.com/athletic/72463…

@Lauren_Chris @On3 @PeteNakos The desired guardrails are currently illegal so no one can do it unless Congress itself makes an exception to the law that screws over the earning potential of the athletes. It’s a tough and very weird situation to oversee right now.

Everyone agrees that we need guardrails yet it seems like no one is working towards rhoee guardrails. When do people stop talking about it and start doing it? What will it take? The “executives” are working overtime to ruin cfb, yet those who want to keep the best sport in the world don’t seem to be working at all.

NEW: Michigan's Kyle Whittingham predicts 12-15 schools will have $50M rosters after the 2027 recruiting cycle💰 "There are a few schools that can weather that, but not many. So it’s already unsustainable for most schools and is only going to get more so until we come up with a model that provides some guardrails and works for everyone."

@elitetakes_ He Peyton Manning now

Oh no Downs we gotta get that fixed by the end of the summer

@FattMallonest I just don’t get the point. Mendoza was already going to be drafted over Dante Moore this year. So his own list of QBs would as a top two QB?

@HankKnowsBall @NoFlagsFilm Jordy Nelson was my first thought this season

@NoFlagsFilm $5 to not comp him to Alec Pierce

I'll have a 1st round grade on Charlie Becker if he repeats what he did over the 2nd half of 2025. Also hope to see more as an intermediate route runner this year, but I would say that for a lot of the top WRs

@scootyftw11 @Ben_Baby I would agree. *If* the front office has proven to successfully execute their due diligence on prospects. The Bengals have proven they are inept at reviewing character concerns. So they do not have the privilege of saying “just trust us” on the next risk. I don’t trust them.

@NickHudnell1 @Ben_Baby Nah. You take risks in the draft. Round 3? Probably shouldnt. But his profile was round 1 talent, in round 3, its worth the risk

Bengals coach Zac Taylor said a lot of work was done in looking into Colbie Young, who had a domestic battery case at Georgia. The original accusation was recanted but Young still pled no contest. (1/2)

@scootyftw11 @Ben_Baby No, it’s 100% the literal job of the front office to draft players that aren’t going to fail to be adults. You aren’t a good GM if you draft a heroin addict. You can’t blame the player after you drafted him knowing that info. That’s why you interview them.

@NickHudnell1 @Ben_Baby You never know how these guys are gonna react when they get big money in the league. It’s on the players to mature or else they’re out of the league quick. Hoping Jermaine finds his footing in Buffalo

@scootyftw11 @Ben_Baby The signs were so obvious that Jermaine Burton was a headcase that it was explicitly announced when he was drafted. Bengals assured us that they looked into it and felt assured he would be ok. He wasn’t ok. So why would I trust them saying they looked into another headcase?

@NickHudnell1 @Ben_Baby They didn’t fail to evaluate jermaine. They knew the risk with him. Its on the player to get right.

@JoeGoodberry Coogan ^^

My prediction for Round 4
