it's so stupid that a game between two eliminated teams will decide who makes the NFL playoffs. clearly they need a better system: having 12 athletic directors with obvious conflicts of interest sit in cloaks in a fancy hotel ballroom and decide which teams get in (one must be Alabama)

An actual on beat thought:
Days like today, where we are reminded that congress is barely a thing anymore, do make it feel kinda crazy that the entire college sports industry is paralyzed until congress does something
And congress almost certainly HAS to do something for the status quo to change!

In the old days, you had to search Tesla stock prices in order to know when Elon fucked up. Now you don’t even have to do that. You just wait for surges of Bluesky notifications

This is true but it’s just as true that favorites went 6-2 in the CFP quarterfinals over the last two years
7 out of the 8 teams that earned byes to the quarterfinals in the 12-team CFP era have now lost.

Okay this one is gold.
I would watch every trophy presentation until we found the cake.
Would the team be thrilled or pissed?
Which coach would have the most confused reaction?

The captions on Lane Kiffin’s instagram stories are going to be so faux-cryptic you can’t even believe it. We’re talking “star wide receiver who got 2 catches on 2 targets in a loss” posts. “2003 AIM away message” content

Defensive lines like Texas Tech's (and, to a lesser extent, Miami's) used to be rare. 2018 Clemson. 2021 Georgia.
If immediate eligibility upon transferring and NIL give us two of these a year, then college football is entering a beautiful period.
