2025 College Football Playoffs

[Notre Dame Joe]

No joke!!! I didn't realize it wasn't a thing across the entire country until I was in my 40s. That stuff is amazing. I need to post a recipe for it, as it's easy to make. My wife makes me smoke chickens a few times per year and make white sauce. Little Cali girl is hooked on Southern cuisine.

By white sauce you mean how Alabamans put mayonnaise on their bbq?

Cannot believe Freeman and Ash lost those first two games.

 

[IrishinSyria]

But we shouldn’t have taken our ball and went home..bad look and give Miami credit on their head to head win and win today

Denbrock lost the Miami game by trying to run the usual Brian Kelly pass first pass second pass short pass 4th offense. I don't recall A&M, I think a few special teams mishaps.

LOL!

 

[NorthDakota]

WTF would any NFL team draft Beck at this point?

Camp arm. NFL is desperate for quarterbacks. Same reason Ian Book got a shot

the players made that call and piss on you

I'll give them all the credit they want. Has nothing to do with us making money for a conference/network that campaigned for our exclusion for the playoff.

Ohhhh! You uncivilized, uncultured, cook your steaks well done savage! A pox on your house!

 

[IrishinSyria]

While nowhere near my preferred outcome, Ole Miss winning the national championship without kiffin is a funny enough possibility that I could live with it.

It wasn’t Denbrock’s fault that Freeman and Ash thought Karson Hobbs was good enough to sniff the field.

I'm surprised they didn't flip Tulane and JMU to avoid a rematch of a 45-10 game. What a boring slate.

 

[Hautian Domer]

LOL! I get it. That's 99% stereotype, though. I've been to each of the lower 48 several times except for only going to VT twice. The difference between states is pretty minimal. Rural NY is rural AL is rural OR. Same for urban areas for the most part. We all watch the same TV, listen to the same music, read the same books, listen to the same news, surf the same Internet. Just like every other state, Alabama has some poor areas, some very wealthy areas, some very backwards areas, and probably a lot more high tech than most with all the NASA, aerospace, and DoD stuff in the Huntsville area, and all the high end medical centers in Birmingham (lots of top pro athletes and wealthy foreigners come to B'ham for sports & coronary surgery). Basically, it's like everywhere else. My experience is that 99% of the regional or state stereotypes from all over the country are about 99% BS.

I love Fairhope and the Grand hotel

 

[Hautian Domer]

I’ve honestly only driven through Alabama, but I sort of picture Alabama as a state where people just drink cheap beer and watch “the game“ whatever game that is.

Have you been to Indiana? Lol

The ratings are going to be horrible.
F ESPN

 

[calvegas04]

This game is so stupid and I assume Oregon will be even more lopsided

It would make me smile. Ole Miss is a school i have no animosity against.

 

[NorthDakota]

I think Montana and Montana State are playing Brawl of the Wild Round 2 today if you want to see competitive football

 

[T-Boone]

just looked back on Ole Miss record. They played 3 "bye games" (I count their first Tulane game in this) and just 3 games against teams with winning records (sorry 4 if you count Tulane). Seems like 6 or so teams with 2-10 type records.

 

[Blazers46]

So weird watching two coachless teams play with rental coaches essentially in a college football playoff game.

 

[Blazers46]

Have you been to Indiana? Lol

I live in Granger… I guess we roll differently here.

 

[T-Boone]

I think Tulane and JMU should have played last weekend (instead of their CCGs) and the winner gets anointed "division 2 champs" which would be great for them and then just that winner goes through to the 12. Too many crappy round 1 games.

 

[OrlaNDomer]

These team all suck. This is just tragic.

 

[stlnd01]

This is what I don't get.

Three of the four first-round games are a rematch, a mismatch and a rematch of a mismatch. The fourth? They put on at noon. All preventable with different teams/seeding. And this isn't the NCAA basketball tournament where you can flip around looking for that Cindarella upset on opening weekend. If these games suck, people are just going to tune out.

It's like the TV network behind the whole enterprise forgot that this is a television show.

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

I'm sorry, is there a new rule of asking you for permission before posting? If so my bad homie, I must have missed it.

I wasn't trying to be snarky, sorry. But to me, giving up 68 points to these offenses is more surprising by a good margin.

Ah..I thought you were busting my balls so I wanted to bust yours too 🍻. And I agree...after watching that game (at a buddies!) I can't believe A&M hung 40+ on ND. Smh....still bitter.

 

[Kingbish01]

These weak small school matchups are ridiculous. The fact that ND/Vandy and Texas are sitting home while we have to watch Tulane is criminal. Like how can JMU and Tulane even feel good about this.
