RJ Young. Oklahoma fan that has built a YouTube following and parlayed that into working at FOX this season.

DFBIA "what if" fan fiction sure is some hilarious shit
He's of course speaking of scUM and Ohio State......
Blaming the CFP for FSU and Texas tanking into the crapper is pretty funny too.

"Historically great" and Florida State do not belong in the same sentence.... unless history started around 1977 ... and we all damn well know for scUM history starts much earlier.

I have misplaced my pants.
I find it funny that Texas is considered some great team. I forget who pointed it out in the past - someone on here. But outside of Vince Young and Colt McCoy, Texas only has a few years worth a hill of beans.
From 1984 to 2000 (17 years) they finished the season in the top 25 7 times, with a best finish of #12 (1990 and 2000).
From 2001 to 2009 (9 years) they finished the season in the top 25 9 times, with a worst finish of #13 (2006).
From 2010 to 2020 (11 years) they finished the season in the top 25 4 times, with a best finish of #9 (2018).
For the record, from about 1959 to 1983, they did have a lot of years finishing in the top 25. So outside of Vince Young and Colt McCoy, Texas was last a football power when most of today's players' parents could spell "Hook 'Em".

Wanna make $14 the hard way?
Funny how everything just happens to teams & programs. "The CFP helped Alabama, Clemson, tOSU and Oklahoma, but hurt ttun, USC, FSU, Oregon, etc."
It has nothing to do with recruiting players with more natural athletic ability than your competitors
It has nothing to do with recognizing trends and reacting better than your competition.
It has nothing to do with working harder and smarter and using technology to find an edge that no one else is doing.
It has nothing to do with maximizing your training and practice time to minimize downtime and wasted movements.
It has nothing to do with evaluating your players and building a game plan to maximize their strengths and hide their weaknesses.
It has nothing to do with preparing the players for every scenario so that when they see it in a game situation, they recognize it and know how it should be attacked.
It has nothing to do with striking out with three consecutive coaching hires, while tOSU has hit home runs with three consecutive coaching hires.
If only the big, bad CFP wouldn't have happened to them, ttun would definitely be a lot more competitive with tOSU, Alabama, Clemson & Oklahoma.

From 1998 to 2013, CFB had something called the BCS, which had only two playoff teams, not four.
USC made the BCS twice (2004, 2005) and won one title (2004), plus an AP title in 2003
Florida State made the BCS four times (1998, 1999, 2000, 2013) and won two titles (1999, 2013) (they also made the playoffs in 2014)
Texas made the BCS twice (2005, 2009) and won one title (2005)
Oregon made the BCS once (2010) and lost (they also made the initial playoff in 2014 and lost)
The list goes on....
Nebraska made the BCS once (2001) and lost
Auburn made the BCS twice (2010, 2013) and won one title (2010)
Miami made the BCS twice (2001, 2002) and won one title (2001)
Florida made the BCS twice (2006, 2008) and won both times
So all those "historically great teams" who won a combined eight BCS titles have somehow been "negatively affected" by the playoffs expanding from two to four teams?
I don't know, maybe Michigan's just not good enough to succeed in any playoff format.
