Sam Darnold’s career was left for dead. Amazing he’ll be a Super Bowl starting QB.

Hope for any player drafted by the Jets that there is a chance at recovery.

jets are a worse org then the Lions. Post Jets no one thought Sam was worth a damn. On the Lions everyone knew Stafford was good still

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

I think it’s the North vs North thing. ND isn’t as national as they think they are, and Ohio state has been there a lot recently. The southeast annd southwest US likely ignored the game.

IU brought a lot of viewers as a ‘cool story’ and Miami is a great team to hate. It was a great north south battle (most of the folks here in Florida were cheering for IU). Similar to Ohio State vs Oregon. East vs West. Blue blood vs likeable scrappy new team searching for their first title, but that time the villain won. :shrug:

If it's me, I'm looking at those viewership numbers and also at my sister pro leagues NFL vs MLB and thinking
-this (and a lot of other data) validates the appetite for the sport of college football (not just the heavyweight brands). It is an important distinction.
-I see how the NFL monetizes "the shield" and promotes the entire league by one central promotion of the brand.
-I look at MLB and see the alternative approach and how a few mega brands are separating so far from minor brands that the league is in jeopardy of impaired revenue.

There needs to be a P4 League of some sort and soon. I think this is known and understood in the halls of CFP power and is the reason behind the pushback on the PE capital injection into the B1G sports entertainment entity. They pretty much said in comments that they didn't want to have media rights locked up long term right now ....I read that as wanting to have the optionality to take said rights to a new league.

Given the constraint (NIL isn't going away) I don't see too many other avenues than a P4 "super league" of some sort.

Texas, Alabama among teams with lingering roster question marks as 2026 transfer portal cycle winds down​

With transfer options dwindling, these teams face some question marks entering spring football​

Texas: Offensive line​

The offensive line was the weak spot of Texas' 2025 roster, forcing Steve Sarkisian to replace two mainstays from that unit. He landed a likely starter at tackle in Melvin Siani but could still benefit from adding a ready-made option on the interior.

Given the Longhorns' aggressive approach at other positions -- and their flawless execution in a highly successful cycle -- it was somewhat surprising that they were only involved with one highly regarded lineman. Perhaps Siani's arrival, combined with another year of development from Trevor Goosby, Brandon Baker and Connor Robertson, will be enough to spark improvement and fill the remaining gap on a championship-caliber roster.

They had Oline issues all this past year.
