Why are people acting like losing to the No. 16 ranked team in the country ruins Texas A&M’s season? Their resume is still 100% worthy of the CFP. They aren’t dropping out for one loss to a ranked team.

For anyone who would like a glimpse of what it's like to have a toddler and a baby at the same time....
My toddler woke up screaming uncontrollably. I rushed to her room for her to tell me she was just pretending to be a baby. Her screaming, of course, woke up the actual baby.

This was literally mentioned during SNF right next to Collinsworth. It completely came off like he’s happy to enjoy the holiday at home and not a true “you’re being replaced” scenario.

Pistons mirror franchise's championship seasons, tie win streak record
The 2025-26 Detroit Pistons are playing like they are one of the best teams in franchise history. While that may seem a bit hyperbolic, it's also a fact based on their current win streak.

The Steelers defense has completely underperformed based on how much money was spent on the unit. There’s no way to deny this. It’s just a fact.

The fact that anyone tried to argue Mason Rudolph is better than Aaron Rodgers right now is just insane.

Mason Rudolph offered the full Mason Rudolph experience in this game. Costly mistakes, missed throws, solid moments, some clutch plays mixed in. He’s doing it all!

Mason Rudolph has to be serviceable and can't lose the game on his own, but the pressure has to be on the defense. The defense is the group with stars getting big money. The defense should have the expectations. The defense is the group that hasn't been good enough all year.

Pitt has managed to have an opportunity (even though an unlikely one) at making the ACC title game in the final week despite only having one quality win all year. A win at Georgia Tech is big, but it's still an indictment of the ACC as a whole for one quality win to be enough to be in the hunt.
