Oso planning to go pro
I'm not sure that his point has anything to do with Bama's record ATS. I think the suggestion is that the consensus says Bama is a better team. He's right. Alabama would be the moneyline favorite over both TCU and OSU, and probably a double-digit spread favorite over TCU.Bama made its bed with two losses, but Saban's not wrong.
It’ll be interesting to see what the matchups are. I know this is very unpopular but I would seed them like this:1. Georgia2. Michigan3. TCU4. USCI am strongly against the idea that teams that play in a conference championship game have something to lose against teams that don’t. It really makes zero sense to me. Teams that don’t play in their conference championship should be locked into their ranking as an upper limit with only the possibility to get bumped down. Though that doesn’t seem like the reality and won’t be the case. Considering that, I don’t see how the committee doesn’t match up OSU and Michigan at 2 and 3. Otherwise, the playoff matchups will likely be a huge dud.
I mean, Ohio State and Notre Dame would have been favored last year in a match-up with Cincinnati.
Ohio State maybe, but Notre Dame? The same Notre Dame that Cincy hung an 11-point home loss on in October?FWIW, the stated mission of the selection committee is to "select the best teams."
Great news for Fickell and the Badgers. Mertz to transfer portal.

But it's going to be fun to watch either way.And I give Colorado a lot of credit for doing something WAY different than they have done before.
Weird little coaching carousel spin with Cincinnati getting Satterfield from Louisville to replace Fickell, but then speculation that Louisville will be able to poach Brohm from Purdue. I know Brohm is a Louisville alum so that skews things, but I'm inclined to believe this will happen otherwise Louisville could have matched or beaten anythign Cincy offered.
Brohm turned them down in 2019. He might, for whatever reason, feel that this time it's different. But he has only increased his value since then.
Well apparently he does feel like this time is different. He is apparently heading back to Louisville.
Is Purdue a fit for Leonard? Or does he hold out for an NFL or top-20 CFB program defensive coordinator job?
I don't think his 4-3 record as a interim HC is gonna get him any B10 level HC offers.Dave Aranda just punted his DC at Baylor. I could see that being his next stop as Aranda mentored him the year before he got into coaching at UW.
Leonhard is staying at Wisky after all.
Where did you hear that?
