2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

did Herbie just say Indiana "isn't Oklahoma". Is that an acknowledgement that an SEC team is worse than a B1G team?

Lots of accidental slips by ESPN folk this week. During the Iowa Vandy game the announcers accidentally said twice that "both teams want to be here in this game"

I don't know if it's possible for there to ever be another Saban-like run. But clearly he's an excellent coach. You can't smoke and mirrors your way to a season like this.
What's puzzling is he is positioning himself in a class of one (himself) among current coaches, pending the outcome of this tournament, and he's doing that at Indiana. AI just told me Indiana spent only $10M on NIL for their football team this season. Including rev sharing and financial contributions.

I'm not skeptical for this year since they are obviously legit. But I'm wondering if Cig is just thriving on one-and-done portal talent this year and last, or if he will be the new Saban for years to come.

Even if he is thriving on portal talent at some point that translates to recruiting after showing he can do it

A consequence of not winning the B1G was getting matched up with a fired up Cryami team playing with not a lot of pressure. Meanwhile Indiana gets a reeling to stay relevant at a high level Bama team who is playing with a ton of pressure and the coaches and players are playing with the ass cheeks clinched because of it.

I know people are gonna try to use this to "prove" that the layoff causes no harm but that's just disingenuous at this point. 1 win with most of the losses being ugly losses is still where we stand with the BYE teams. The UGA game meh UGA is gonna win because Ole Miss has a MASH unit coaching situation
