Tony Romo just said he thinks whoever wins this game has a shot at going to the Super Bowl which is in fact how the postseason is structured

This first round has featured two crimes against offensive football, one team self destructing to hand the game over to a team they previously beat, and two complete wastes of time.
Hope you're all proud of yourselves, college football.

They used Notre Dame for outrage bait for 6 weeks. They flat out lied about their playoff positioning and then pulled the rug out from under them by invoking something they'd ignored the whole year.
Now they're mad ND won't play into the script and allow them to profit off it.
Screw them all.

The playoff could be 32 teams and Northwestern would never sniff it. I'd probably dislike successful programs too in those shoes.

I'm prepared for ND to get left out of the playoff. But I'll tell you this: if you think Notre Dame fans are annoying online now, just wait until Oklahoma or Alabama (or even Miami) gets dump trucked out of the playoff. Every metric on earth says ND is better than they are.

Eli Drinkwitz is fine, I guess, but this is absolutely wild for a guy who's really never beaten anyone aside from winning an exhibition Cotton Bowl once.
The agreement keeps Drinkwitz under contract through 2031 and would make him the sixth highest-paid college football coach in the country.

What's sad is even when they literally say what they're going to do, the people who need to believe them either won't, or will actively cheer it on

Someone in a ND fan chat I'm in made a great point tonight - for years under Brian Kelly the team had the resume but people would dismiss them on eye test. Now under Freeman, they consistently pass the eye test but the resume is used against them.
Interesting to have gotten both perspectives.

Still…if you said a Cubs bullpen game, on the road, in a decisive game, allowed 3 runs through 7…I’d take it. At some point, your fucking hitters need to fucking hit.

Listening on the radio so have no idea what the heck just happened with the Cubs but it seems inevitable they'll lose by 1 after that stupid nonsense.

This is a sitting secretary of defense refusing to answer whether he gave the military the order that they could shoot unarmed protesters, in case you're wondering where we are as a country at the moment.
Also, bravo Elissa Slotkin.

I don't know if Petitti intended this, but in a way it might help his conference. Now that they're the only one not requiring 10 power-conference foes per year - and the only one consistently pretending slop like Purdue, Rutgers, UCLA, etc. are real opponents - they might get more teams in the CFP.
In 2026 all Power 4 conferences will play 9 league games. Big Ten will be only 1 not requiring 1 non-conference power opponent. That likely won’t change. “It hasn’t been discussed,” Big Ten source told @On3sports on B1G requiring 10th power conference foe

While Big 12, SEC and ACC requires 10 power opponents in 2026, Big Ten has no plans to do the same
The Big Ten has no plans to require a tenth power conference opponent on its schedule like the ACC, Big 12 and SEC.
