Playing WR and CB all season at a high level is unique and incredible.
Jeanty a worthy winner also, though.

I still despise conference title games, totally pointless and nothing but a cash grab by conferences.
Ewers better show up or Clemson might knock them off. Driving to the hotel today heard on a Fayetteville NC radio broadcast that perhaps Sark needs to pull a Saban vs Georgia and possibly pull his starter for the spark off the bench if Ewers is struggling/offense is struggling in any playoff game. Texas should have put Georgia away in the first half but you're not gonna win games against top opposition settling for field goals. It was also Bond's worst game in his time there - couple momentum killing bonehead penalties.
That side of the bracket might yield the best semifinal path for the winner of that game who gets Arizona State, very winnable. Although I think Georgia is practically one foot in the semi already with that bracket. It would take a ridiculous performance by Indiana/Notre Dame to keep them out and Georgia has their crap moments.

@Charlie Foley - the Mids are playing out of their minds today!
Best offence in college football have not got going whatsoever
Army look garbage today but won 11 games. (searches their schedule) Yep, a lot of dross in there.
Today's game feels more exciting and interesting than their past few matchups, despite the current rout on show.

Insane! In Horvath we trust. There’s a boat light parade in Annapolis today too, great atmosphere downtown
A big improvement on the usual punt, punt, field goal fare
That also explains why they look nothing like "best offence" despite winning an award for it
Navy’s defense has been a unit possessed
Gotta love it. Keeping that star!
Another interception!
The navy DC is our old neighbour.

Kinda bittersweet during the alma maters.

Horvath may have a shot in the NFL with his 4.47 40-time and decent size. Could pack on ten pounds or so at the pro level, maybe be a utility type like Taysom Hill. He's only a junior so he'll return for 2025, wonder if he'll have any scouts seeing him as a late round prospect or more an undrafted rookie, if considered. Service Academy players do get drafted occasionally and a few others get camp invites.
Bryson Daily runs a 4.65 so doubtful he's being looked at but possible I suppose. May project to a FB/HB type if he makes a team. https://draftscout.com/dsprofile.php?PlayerId=1039866&DraftYear=2025

Absolutely dominant. It's been very impressive.
A school is pulling out of a bowl game because they don’t have enough players after the portal, but you can’t move portal dates because of enrollment deadlines. I’m not sure what you do to fix this new era of CFB…
Yep
This guy must have been born after AD lost to Matt Leinart.
Kinda late to the popularity contest take when persons have been winning awards for decades at the big school bias, east coast/conference bias, poll rankings, and namesake. Hunter winning isn't the worst thing ever, he's probably the best overall player (the BOP!) regardless of stat rankings. Hunter is certainly not the first "hype" to win the award - some "hype" were deserved winners, some were carried by the hype.
I felt Daniels winning over Penix last year was the wrong choice considering the total body of work, and points to the east coast/conference bias. 30.5% of Daniels TDs and 19% of his passing yards came against Georgia State and Grambling (regular season only); he played only a half against Grambling but played well into the 4th against Georgia State (last game) in a stat-padding move by his coach, a game they were up 35-14 at half and 42-14 after three. Their compared regular season stats were very similar though Penix played one extra game - a conferene title game that Daniels' team failed to reach thanks to three losses.
Look at the likes of Wuerfful winning over Davis in 96. Florida was loaded with talent while Iowa State had practically nothing but Davis, who's numbers compare to Jeanty's. And one could argue Pace was the BOP. But Wuerfful had the hype and gaudy stats.
Frazier should have won it over George in 95, though could be said Frazier winning would be the bigger hype/namesake. Either Faulk or Hearst over Torretta in 92 but Miami QBs always had more publicity and fanfare. Detmer over Ismail in 90 was egregious but QB stats were monstrous while Ismail was the more known persona. McPherson was arguably the best player in 87 over Brown but the latter was a Notre Dame guy (yet Ismail didn't win it, go figure).

I’m pretty sure the Orange bowl showed the right choice was made.
Down 20-3 early in the 4th, Indiana faced a 4th-and-11 at the ND 48 and the coach elected to punt. Chickenshit coaching right there. Practically waving the white flag at that point. Totally backfired too - bad punt only yields 26 yards and ND march right down to score and took off nearly six minutes. Indiana scored a couple late touchdowns - the second the benefit from a rare onside kick recovery - but electing to punt when needing three scores practically closed the door on Indiana. It reeked of a coach desiring to lose by a slimmer margin.
Today is one of the greatest sports days of the year with 3 CFP and 2 NFL games. LFG!
Really bad by the SMU QB first on the 4th down play and then on this pick 6
Jeez another pick 6 and another awful mistake
This SMU QB is worthless.
Jeez that is terrible
Sark tried his best 'bad coaching decisions' lark and the Texas defense tried for about 20 minutes to give this game away but held firm in the end. What should have been a 45-17 blowout turned into a fantastic finish.
Guy took an insane hit and they have been talking for 5 minutes about his broken helmet
Michigan is better than Tennessee. If Illinois played a soft SEC schedule they would be in the playoff.
100%. SEC is so overrated
I was really hoping Sark was about to blow it but our defense was just non existent.
Might be time to look elsewhere than Goodwin for a DC
Not much sport on today - shall give Navy vs Oklahoma a go
With the state OU is in it’ll be awful viewing unless M. Hawkins decides to have himself a day.
Yeah, I am watching just to see how Hawkins does. He could be super fun to watch.
Colorado getting thumped by BYU tonight.
Iowa State vs Miami was rather fun, surprised Ward sat out the second half.
And then there was this.

Jalen Milroe putting on one of the worst bowl performances
His draft stock must be plummeting.
Couldn’t happen to a worse school. feck UAT
Refs making sure Bama has a chance with that roughing call
