    these guys are going to be the villains of 2025. Allar going with more chains, the mohawk, and then taking on Franklins fake bravado.

    I mean in every other American sport the #1 seed is given a distinct advantage out of the gates. Would you say that was the case in this system? Eventually if you lose, you lose, but there was no reward for being the only undefeated team.

    I could be crazy but wasn’t Georgia supposed to beat the breaks off of ND? People arguing about the seedlings are fucking insufferable. JFC just enjoy the games.

    Miami should’ve been 8-4 in the ACC if it weren’t for two egregious officiating mistakes (actual game changing calls that were incorrect). What are you even doing here. They weren’t a top 10 team by any metric.

    Just got home and I can't believe how bad Drew Allar's footwork is. I'm all in on Abdul Carter, dude is tough as nails and dominated with one arm. Entertaining game.

    And he knows what it’s like to get held all game and not get any calls. Perfect to be opposite Garrett.

    congrats on a very good game to all Penn St fans except zeberdee

    It’s a college football message board, lighten up Francis. And one day people may finalize realize they don’t have to get sucked into the dbling. But that day isn’t today.

    Maybe there were only 6 teams that actually deserved to play for the title this year. And maybe 2 of those top 6 found themselves on one side of a stupid capitalistic bracket. Maybe we shouldn’t complain about this shit every living moment so folks don’t feel incentivized to make the system even worse by expanding it further.

    Shut up. Enjoy it. Hope they don’t bastardize anymore.

    with the line moving heavily in their favor

    basically every power rating had them favored, even if Beck played.

    Ideally we could move back a bit and still get him but he has more Parsons in his game than I thought.

    agreed but they have a MAC-level QB. if they had an elite QB, like a 5* that lived up to that ranking, I don't think their WR talent, or lack thereof, would matter. Especially not with Warren being a dependable crutch.

    UGA was literally starting a QB in his first game. I don't think anyone thought UGA was winning that game easily.

    Hard to say only bc Parsons sitting out the final year but I don't think it's just an easy comp bc of their school/position/number. His get-off is wild.
