@SharpDressRab @jjones9 There are a number of SEC schools that are quite good academically. Feels unfair to say “some SEC school” when really you’re talking about the lower part of the conference

@jjones9 I mean if they were playing some SEC school, sure, but Illinois is a genuinely good school

My alma mater blew a 19-point lead to an 11 seed and it wasn’t as embarrassing as this

@CFBAnalytical This is great data, the back to back possessions were the only thing that was still making me think there may be some truth to the Middle 8 hype. If it’s a coin flip though on if you actually get the back to back possessions, then yeah it’s tough to argue in favor of the Middle 8

In case youre wondering about playing for back to back possessions In 6674 fbs games, it occurred 3340 times vs 3334 not happening. 50.1% with 24.8% back to back scores of any kind.

@jdpickell My biggest issue is what’s even the point of doing this? Feels like it implies that the only way to get their players to lift heavy is to take away the other options

1. Let’s think about this critically for a second 2. We’re upset about guys being dudes? youtube.com/on3sports/?sub…

@BenjaminSolak He’ll test well at the combine too. If he can stay healthy he’ll be a steal for someone

I like what I'm seeing from Florida CB Devin Moore. Not a tall CB class. He's 6'2 with good eyes and feel. Gets pulled into off coverage here, maintains great positioning on the high corner, sees the crosser + understands the concept. Good ball tracking + attack.

@BrooksAustinBA Thoughts on how Buster will change up the offense at UF? Thinking he leans back towards his air raid roots more?

My favorite DC to study: Brent Venebles/Bryant Haines My favorite OC to study: Buster Faulkner/Charlie Weiss Jr.

@bucks_dem @HoosierIsh Smith is an unknown at the college level, Cignetti>Day, Patricia=Haines

@HoosierIsh Ryan Day, Arthur Smith, and Matt Patricia

Show me a better HC/OC/DC combination than this in CFB right now Head Coach: Curt Cignetti Offensive Coordinator: Mike Shanahan Defensive Coordinator: Bryant Haines Any responses other than these 3 are just flat out WRONG

@Tchandler7105 @Brown189X @__whatley__ @MichaelWBratton @thatSECpodcast Venables calls his own defensive plays, Kirby does not.

@Brown189X @__whatley__ @MichaelWBratton @thatSECpodcast If Venables is his own DC then Kirby belongs at 1.

2026 SEC Defensive Coordinator Rankings

@aw_shuckynaw @MichaelWBratton Schumann’s two worst years came when Muschamp stepped down from Co-DC to being an analyst

Georgia's defensive numbers each season under Schumann Defensive PPA (Predicted Points Added): #1, #8, #27, #43, #36 Defensive Success Rate: #1, #9, #29, #31, #26 Notice a trend?

@JoshPateCFB They pinned it because they got exactly what they wanted out of it. It’s time to treat some of these “talk shows” as the rage bait slop they actually are

They pinned it? THEY PINNED IT?!?!

@4D_BO @JoshPateCFB Maybe it’s not a good thing that a 10 seed made the championship game. Maybe they shouldn’t have loss 2 games to unranked teams in the regular season. I’d say the same thing about 2024 Ohio State

@JoshPateCFB The NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAAB etc ALL have a larger percentage of teams in the post-season than CFB (only 9%) by a WIDE margin yet pundits maintain a larger CFP would somehow ruin CFB. In a year where a 10 seed Miami made the championship game how can you maintain this stance?

Here's how we will crown a national champion January 1st while saving bowl season and fixing the recruiting/portal calendar issue From the desk of the future CFB Commissioner...

@dren_braves And the reality is, a true salary cap would come with a player’s union and a contract bargaining agreement. Which would lead to a lot more player protections, compared to now when thousands of players are thrown to the streets by their old schools every year. It’s pro player

a SAlaRy CAp iS AnTI pLayERs well asshole, it's pro fan so I don't give a shit

@REDNAROM @JPrestonSports @s_akem18 They are not. Many thousands of the players you see entering the portal were asked to do so by their old coaching staff. Portal door swings both ways

@JPrestonSports @s_akem18 What does this mean? Are scholarships not guaranteed for 4 years?

“Looking for an opportunity” - A kid who had a full ride scholarship at their previous school and is now in the transfer portal.

@prestonnwalshh Going with Philo is why the WR room is so good. If we were paying $4M to a top QB, we would not be able to allocate as many funds to receivers

Absolutely no disrespect to Philo and he really could end up being great, I understand the system QB and knowing the playbook situation but this is an insanely talented receiver room to settle with “well maybe it works”.

@AndyBolling21 @colecubelic @CoachJonSumrall @CFAPeachBowl @GatorsFB Golesh is also busy losing all of his good players

Good to see @CoachJonSumrall in Atlanta for the @CFAPeachBowl 🏈

@JBudDavis Elite numbers under Faulkner in 23-24

WR1/2 caliber guy. Florida would potentially have 3 NFL quality WRs. I love it 2025 Auburn: 82 Tgts at 1.6 yd/rte 2024 GT: 94 Tgts at 2.5 yd/rte 2023 GT: 85 Tgts at 2.7 yd/rte

@ShinobiSithLord @Rodney3Ruxin @on3 @BussinWTB Nick Saban was 72 years old when he retired. No idea why people act like he retired shockingly early, that’s a very normal age to call it quits

@Rodney3Ruxin @on3 @BussinWTB If that’s the case, why did the SEC have a stranglehold on recruiting until NIL was implemented? Why did Saban retire?

NEW: Ed Orgeron to @BussinWTB on the SEC paying players before NIL: “Back then, we used to walk through the back door with the cash. Now, we just got to walk through the front door with the cash.” 🤣 on3.com/news/ed-orgero…

@JoeMuto @theoldfm @RossDellenger If other teams ranked in the top 12 get left out then why is ND special? Why are they the only team that needs this protection?

@theoldfm @RossDellenger Yes, very unfair that a team that finishes in the top 12 should be allowed to play in a 12 team playoff

A newsy wrinkle from Bevacqua: As part of an MOU signed last spring, Notre Dame is assured of a CFP berth if it is ranked in the top 12 starting next year. If this year’s situation unfolds next year, the final at-large team (Miami) would have gotten bumped for No. 11 Notre Dame.

@GenBSGrant @RisonOnSports Yes, starting out 24-2 with a Big Ten championship at Indiana is the greatest coaching run in modern history even without a playoff win. And it’s not even close frankly

@RisonOnSports Greatest Run in the History of the Modern Playoff Era doesn't need a playoff win? Look, he's done an absolutely amazing job, maybe nobody has come so far in two years *to this point*.

Prisoner of the moment ... moment: Has anyone done a better coaching job in the modern history of college football than Curt Cignetti the last two years? Help me before I say something stupid on a stream.

@OregonHomer @Pudddleswitdad And what happens when the conferences get rid of the conference championship games altogether? That would 100% be the butterfly effect of leaving Bama out this year

@Pudddleswitdad If they refuse to play then drop them anyway

“A disastrous precedent” and it’s just treating the SEC exactly like every other conference has been treated for decades

@HuskerScott89 @CFBReport Their current season would’ve been tied for their 3rd most wins in program history before Campbell got there. The fact that he’s elevated them to a level where 8-4 is considered “mid” for them shows how good of a coach he is. 8-4 was a miracle year for them before he got there

@CFBReport And now? They are just a slight uptick above mid

I don’t think people understand Iowa State was the WORST P5 program of ALL-TIME before Matt Campbell arrived. Before Campbell: (1895-2015) • .429 Win % ❌ • 0 10-Win Seasons ❌ • 2 AP T25 Finishes ❌ • 10 Seasons in AP T25 ❌ • 3 Bowl Wins ❌ IN 119 SEASONS. During Campbell: (2016-2025) • .567 Win % ✅ • 1 10-Win Season ✅ • 3 CFP T25 Finishes ✅ • 7 Seasons in AP T25 ✅ • 3 Bowl Wins ✅ IN 10 SEASONS.
