I was thinking the exact same thing. Unbelievable play after play. Had McElroy giving him the Collinsworth treatment in the booth. Looked exactly like Burrow in the AFC title game in Kansas City 4 years ago. Team of destiny
BEST BIG GAME COACH IN AMERICA!!! STARTS HIS CAREER WITH 2 BIG GAMES AND 2 WINS!! KIFFIN = WALLY PIPP

BUMP after yet another bye team looks totally dysfunctional

HAMMER Ole Miss and Bama ML

Or spreads if you’re not feeling that aggressive. We just saw how much of a disadvantage the bye teams are at. OSU 9.5 point favorites and yet lost by 10. Vegas isn’t accounting for the rust from a long bye, that’s an edge to exploit.

Also ESPN wants to expand to a 16-team playoff, 4 more playoff games means 4 more big games worth of ad revenue. They will use the poor performance of the bye teams as justification for expanding next year. Look for refs to be crazy biased against Georgia and Indiana

7 standalone NFL games this week

Posted by YoungSteele830 on 12/23/25 at 8:44 pm
Christmas Day falls on Thursday, so it’s basically a Thanksgiving style slate, 3 games, noon 3:30 and 7:15.

2 games Saturday, 3:30 and 7. Then SNF and MNF

Even with no teams on bye, 7 standalone games means only 9 games in the “RedZone window.” And only 2 of those 9 fall in the 3 PM slot. Kind of a watered down football Sunday this week.

What are y’all’s thoughts on this? Prefer more standalone games or fewer so the Sunday afternoon slate can be packed?

6-6 Penn State, 5-7 Auburn, and 7-5 LSU all fired their coaches this season.

They also are all ranked above James Madison and Tulane in the FPI. And people tried to tell us that Tulane and JMU were among the 12 best teams??

LSU played Ole Miss close. Tulane had TWO shots at Ole Miss - and got blown out in both.
Bump. Tried to tell y’all but nobody wanted to listen. Wouldn’t y’all rather be watching Notre Dame or Texas, hell, maybe even BYU against this Ole Miss team right now, instead of this September tune-up game?

Can’t wait to be proven right again in a couple hours when Oregon routs JMU.
I agree. Generational opportunity. Alabama will never be this good of odds in a big game ever again.
Bama way too talented. Time and time again they’ve saved their best game for the biggest game. Every time people say Bama didn’t deserve to be there they prove people wrong. 2011. 2017.

Indiana hasn’t seen SEC speed all year

Bet your LIFE SAVINGS on Alabama + 6.5. You will never get that good of odds on Bama in a big game ever again.
Hadn’t missed a kick of any kind since the opener. The Bama mystique is still very alive and well. When guys have to line up against those crimson helmets with the numbers on them, they totally crumble. Alabama still holds a significant psychological advantage on the competition.

Boy, I bet Indiana fans are PIIIISSSSEDDD. They finally get their big Rose Bowl playoff game and they have to face BAMA??? They haven’t seen that level of size and speed all season. Indiana can’t handle SEC talent. Bama by 2 TDs

Twelve Best Teams...Period

Posted by YoungSteele830 on 12/17/25 at 12:16 am
9 Notre Dame/8 Oklahoma vs 1 Indiana

12 Texas/5 Oregon vs 4 Texas Tech

11 Miami/6 Ole Miss vs 3 Ohio State

10 Alabama/7 Texas A&M vs 2 Georgia

Wouldn’t this be a much more interesting playoff? Texas was preseason number 1 for a reason, they have enough talent to get hot and win the whole damn thing. Sure did end the season on an incredible note. Remember Ole Miss in the CWS a couple years ago? Nobody gave them a chance, said they didn’t deserve to be there. Same idea here. JMU is a 21 point dog at Oregon. Tulane a 17 point dog at Ole Miss. What, Texas would be a 6 point dog at Oregon, at worst. Notre Dame would be favored over Oklahoma.

If we’re going to expand all the way to 12 why are we not putting the 12 best teams in? JMU and Tulane barely crack the top 25 best.
The real Trent Dilfer is Caleb Williams. 2 100 yard running backs for the Bears in this game, and Caleb isn’t even at 100 passing yet.

Dude should be taking so much heat for his awful play, but thanks to defense and run game he gets to hide behind the scoreboard
I honestly think that one reason for the increase in piped in music in recent years is to drown out the “STTDB” chants. Since the band can’t play Neck anymore the students will chant it to just about anything that the band plays. So they have to find new ways to “censor” it.

I’ve never been a huge fan of STTDB. But I think that the hardcore efforts by the SEC office or whoever to censor it are more annoying than the actual chant. The only thing that trying to stop it will do is make them do it even more. If they had never tried to censor it we would only ever hear it during Neck, and not multiple times a game over random band songs.
I live bet the over on the total at 39.5

Indiana was 14.5 point favorites in this game. This would have been a colossal upset considering PSU was 3-5 going in, literally have not won a game besides rent a wins in September. So for there to even be a chance for a “Heisman moment” they needed to nearly choke away the game in the fourth quarter after being in control all day. Sayin played much better football against PSU. Didn’t need heroics to win

Gus Johnson went crazy that whole drive. He glazed Indiana how people think he glazes Ohio State. He legit said hand Mendoza the Heisman. Bold thing to say before Ty Simpson has played today

I don’t think we can call Indiana a Cinderella I think they have legit long-term staying power. They would probably not like being called an underdog. They’re not the PG-13 guy anymore. They’re looking to be the Rated R guy. Don’t wanna be the lovable loser Cubs or Mariners. They wanna be the Yankees and Dodgers.

“I don't want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone's *really* hoping makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated R movie, you know, the guy you're not sure whether or not you like yet. You're not sure where he's coming from. Okay? You're a bad man. You're a bad man, Mikey. You're a bad man, bad man.”
OP nailed this aspect: Buffalo hits on Josh Allen. Cornerstone of the franchise. Bill for life.

Pirates hit on Skenes. And yet we’re all just counting down the days til he has to shave the mustache and join the Yankees because that’s who will give him his big second contract. He’ll be remembered best as a Yankee.

It’s like if Josh Allen went to the Cowboys to be their franchise guy for 10 years after his first 3 years with the Bills
Covered the spread by more than 20 points tonight. Very impressive win
I don’t think we should get too ahead of ourselves. My preseason Super Bowl pick was Eagles-Chiefs YET AGAIN and I stand by that even with the Chiefs not doing so great so far this season. Chiefs don’t need a strong regular season to make the SB. They have proven time and time again that they save their best for the biggest stage.

Yeah the Colts are a cute story in November. The resurgence of New England is a cute story. Sam Darnold is a cute story. But when it’s nut-cutting time and the chips are down in January do we really trust them to get it done in the big games? No chance in hell I would pick the Colts to beat the Chiefs in the playoffs. Hell I wouldn’t even pick the Bills to beat the Chiefs even though they just did 3 days ago. Mahomes and Hurts are levels above everybody else when the games start to really matter. Championship DNA. It factor
Picked against Houston the last two weeks when they were underdogs against Arizona and Arizona State. Houston won. Picked in favor of Houston this week as double digit home favorites to 2-6 WVU and they might lose.

Pretty much sums up the new Big 12. A bloodbath
