Every client I have gets a huge database of bodyweight exercises (with videos) for when they're on the road/can't get to the gym. I'm giving it away free for the next 24 hours (if you're following me). To get it, like this post and comment "GUIDE"

⚠️ Warning: Extremely long post about the CFP — but it needs to be said. Since the beginning of the College Football Playoff, there has been only ONE team that was in position to make the playoff, lost a conference championship game, had idle teams behind them, and did not drop in the rankings the following week: 2025 Alabama. There have been only TWO teams total who were in CFP position, lost a conference championship game, and did not fall at all: • 2022 TCU • 2025 Alabama Let’s talk about why those situations are not the same — and why the Alabama one is a problem. ⸻ 2022 TCU TCU was ranked #3 and lost the Big 12 Championship by 3 points in overtime. The team directly behind them at #4 USC got blown out by 23 in their conference championship game. If the committee dropped TCU to #4 and moved idle #5 Ohio State to #3, Michigan would have played Ohio State twice in three games, and OSU would have faced Michigan back-to-back. That was a clear structural reason not to reshuffle the rankings. ⸻ Now compare that to 2025 This is where it gets uncomfortable. • Both teams around Alabama were idle — yet Alabama doesn’t drop to #10 • Both teams around BYU were idle — BYU drops to #12 • Both teams around UVA were idle — UVA drops to #19 So let’s be honest: Is dropping Alabama to #10 really “punishment” when they’re in either way? Or are we protecting the ACC’s last at-large team by making sure no one sits between Miami and Notre Dame? Because if Alabama drops to 10, suddenly there’s a problem the committee doesn’t want to solve. And let’s be clear — that’s the ACC’s fault, not Notre Dame’s. The ACC Championship tiebreaker was asinine. If Miami had been in the ACCCG and lost, does anyone actually believe they wouldn’t have dropped? ⸻ History is very clear Conference championship losers have absolutely been passed by idle teams and missed the playoff: • 2022 USC • 2017 Penn State • 2015 Iowa • 2017 Auburn — beat Georgia three weeks earlier, then lost the SECCG and got jumped So the argument that “Alabama beat Georgia earlier” is not a shield. We’ve seen that exact scenario before — and it didn’t matter then. ⸻ Ranking position shouldn’t matter Whether you’re ranked 1 or 22, the criteria should be applied the same way. 4-team playoff 12-team playoff 16-team playoff The rules don’t change. Yes, fringe teams will get squeezed sometimes — that’s the trade-off. Playing a conference championship game gives you control: • Win and you’re in • Lose and you hope the cards fall your way That’s how the system has always worked. So stop with the “we can’t punish conference championship losers” narrative. It’s simply false — and honestly, idiotic. ⸻ It gets worse when you look at the week before Go back one week before the conference championship games. Alabama got moved UP after a “great” 27–20 win over 5–7 Auburn — a team that was: • Winless at home vs SEC teams • Playing under an interim head coach Why did Alabama move up? Because leaving them at #10 would have caused issues if: • BYU won • Alabama lost the CCG Suddenly the committee might have had to bump Alabama out. So they preemptively solved the problem. ⸻ And the résumé argument doesn’t hold up “Alabama beat four ranked teams in a row and has the best win of the year.” No — they didn’t. • Georgia dog-walked them last week, proving teams change • Only two of those wins are still ranked • Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Missouri have ZERO wins over ranked teams • Tennessee and Missouri have a combined ZERO wins over FBS teams with winning records Those rankings were inflated by preseason bias. ⸻ So what’s actually going on? Why can’t we question this? There has been no rule change saying conference championship losers can’t drop. This is not a Notre Dame problem. This is a CFP problem. And the longer we pretend otherwise, the worse the credibility gap gets.

Notre Dame painted itself into a corner. The Irish thought it had the Big 12 waiting in the wings to take ND in all sports minus football, were Notre Dame to leave the ACC. The reality is, no one wants to deal with Notre Dame's pompousness and entitlement. espn.com/college-footba…

If I could ask a committee member it would be this: in retrospect, is there any scenario that could have occurred last Saturday that would have resulted in ND making the playoffs? I think the honest answer to that question is very telling. #NotreDame #CFP2025

Dear College Football Fans, this is a safe space. Was the CFP Committee right to put Alabama in, flip Notre Dame and Miami without them playing a game and leave out BYU, Vanderbilt and Texas?

It’s not hard to connect the dots…ESPN is owned by the same company that owns the ACC and SEC network…of course it’s a conflict of interest issue that’s the elephant in the room. #NotreDame

Nobody can blame Kenny Minchey whatsoever for entering the transfer portal. He'll go elsewhere to be an instant starter and win a lot of games. Gotta give props to him for being a Notre Dame team player by pouring himself into backing up CJ Carr, too. on3.com/teams/notre-da…

@Marques_J_Smith @RGIII @OuttaPocketRG3 @Gretegiii Who were they suppose to drop behind? Miami and ND didn’t play in a conference championship. You can’t punish a team for losing a championship game. Ohio state only dropped behind the team that beat them. Only question I’d ask is how Miami jumped BYU.
