Also a huge night for the Big Ten. The SEC has had different teams win the national championship in this century--Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Florida. Auburn. (with a nod to Tennessee in 1998) Now, the Big Ten has won the last three with three different teams--Michigan, Ohio State, Indiana. Watch out for Oregon next year. With all their young guys, 2025 was really a year early for them to get to the final four. Next year they will be loaded to make a run to the title too.

Indiana will make a great movie for sure! The here will be the QB who was hit so hard early that he was spitting blood, then scored the game-winning TD on a physical run that beat five defenders. But it can't be called Hoosiers 2. What would you name this movie? #IndianFootball #CFP #Hoosiers

Undefeated Indiana beat Ohio State in the Big Ten champ game, then crushed Oregon by five TDs in the CFP. The Big Ten used to be known as the Big 2 (Michigan, Ohio State) plus 8. For this year, it is the Big 1 plus 17. Indiana was the program with the most losses in college football history when Curt Cignetti arrived last year. Now, they are the undisputed kings of the best conference in the nation. Just. Wow. @IndianaFootball

@BruceFeldmanCFB @BYUfootball Thanks Bruce! It was fun to do. Great to hear from you my friend, happy for your success!

@TMatich @BYUfootball Fun segment Trevor! I caught this morning.

This was fun! At @BYUfootball I used peanut M&Ms to diagram blitzes we might face in the next day's games. Sports Illustrated did a six-page feature on our offensive line with this as the intro, called "Beware of the Candy Men."

@TruBlueCougar @BYUfootball @UMichFootball That's possible. But, Kyle is in the top tier of coaches that I believe will do the right things, in the right way, and produce the right results, no matter where they are. @UMichFootball had a rough run in losing their coach. But they just hired one with a higher ceiling.

@TMatich @BYUfootball @UMichFootball Unless Kyle can't produce the required level of winning. They will be gone in a heartbeat.

Looking over the horizon, there's another reason moving from @BYUfootball to @UMichFootball would be attractive for defensive coordinator Jay Hill. It would put him in a strong position for consideration to become the next head coach at Michigan when Kyle Whittingham retires. That's what happened with new Utah head coach Morgan Scalley. He was Kyle's defensive coordinator, and for years was also the Utes' head coach in waiting. Kyle is of an older generation than Kalani Sitake, who could be at BYU for another 10 or 20 years. The possibility for Jay to elevate from DC to HC would likely come sooner at Michigan than BYU. The biggest reason to stay at BYU: It's a special place, where spiritual development is fully integrated into the program. It's an amazing environment to make a life and raise a family. deseret.com/sports/2025/12…

@NicoleAuerbach He's a legend in the making because of character. Go look at his post-Pop Tarts Bowl quote about the value of "faithful men."

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE KALANI SITAKE

@vcram_3 Thanks GR8FUL!

@TMatich You do a great job on BYUTV on Mondays. Thank you.

Mark Jones' call at the end of the Pop Tarts Bowl might be the most "BYU" call ever. He said the INT in the end zone to seal the Cougars' win was "atonement and redemption" for Evan Johnson. Johnson gave up a long pass on 4th down in the final moments to give Georgia Tech a chance to win it, then picked off Haynes King in the end zone on 4th down to seal the win. Classic! I guess "sealing the win" can be BYU too...

Thanks for remembering! Those were amazing fun to do, lots of talent on that desk, lots of Emmys awarded. I loved the chemistry we had, like a band that had played together forever. @BMITCHLIVE30 was the lead singer. @MrChickSports and @juliedonaldson_ were the rhythm section. @EIGHTTODANINE and @DeAngeloHall23 were on guitar. @JPFinlayNBCS was a songwriter. Jim Scibilia produced and arranged everything. I shook a tambourine from time to time. It was most fun when the team was winning. But we had to get creative for a lot of those postgame shows when the team was awful--how in the world do you tell the truth about the team's parade of terribles and still make an entertaining show? But we made it happen, and love the fans who stayed with us all those years.

I remember back in the day that @MrChickSports @juliedonaldson_ @TMatich @EIGHTTODANINE and @BMITCHLIVE30 would speak before and after a Redskins game and it would be the greatest pre game and post game show of all time. We had it real good.

@JaredStillman As usual, Dana Claus was the star of the show!

@TMatich Timeout. I missed Dana Claus on TV?!

Trevor Claus and Dana Claus will be giving out gifts to college football tonight at halftime of the Hawaii Bowl!

@NathanGrella @HawaiiBowl Ask and you shall receive! Trevor Claus will appear at halftime along with fan favorite Dana Claus, who is back by popular demand!

I better see @TMatich doing something ridiculous during halftime tomorrow during the @HawaiiBowl

Ole Miss ran seven plays in their first two drives. Five of them went for 20 yards or more, and another was a 4 yard TD run by Trinidad Chambliss. 1st drive plays: 30 yd pass 25 yd pass 20 yd run TD Kewan Lacy 2nd drive: 30 yd run 36 yd pass 0 yd run 4 yd run TD Chambliss What a start! @OleMissFB #CFBPlayoffs
