He also had Tua taking meaningless snaps when get got hurt against Miss St. Not the example I would be using lol.
Nick Saban played a hobbled Tua Tagovailoa against The Citadel. Why? Because he actually lived what he preached — taking every opponent seriously. “We’re taking Vandy seriously after 2024!” “We don’t need our starting QB because they’re only playing this mediocre team.” Do we really not see the contradiction in those statements?

Reminder to Matt and the rest of the people that cover this sport for a living that twitter is not real life. Average consumer is gonna love watching more playoff games come Dec and Jan (while also still watching regular season games at a similar rate).
I could be wrong! But man, the 24-team CFP *feels* like a step towards college football 'enshittification' that will be hard to walk back. Almost nobody *really* wants it. Benefits don't pass to consumers. Eventually, schools won't even really enjoy them. And for what?

“Eventually, schools won't even really enjoy them.” Pitt is 6-3 right now and, even if they win out, they’re not making the playoff this year. In the 24-team, they’re very likely in! Can’t tell me with a straight face that schools are going to get tired of that.

And for schools that are routinely in the playoff, they’re very likely get an added, sellout home game on top of what they’re already getting. I’m sure they’ll get tired of spending all that extra money.

I was told that pointing this out is shitting on the party though @SethBurn
Multiple sources, Democratic and Republican strategists, tell @swin24 that Nixon and Jolly would have won if the Democrats invested in FL. "All of them agreed – left or right – that Dems would have won in Florida, had the national powers-that-be put in more money and effort."

Alright let's get into it. FPI answers one question: how good is each team going forward? It doesn't answer who has earned a ranking. We have other metrics for that. Allow me to put on my teacher hat for a moment...
The FPI needs to be retired immediately. Not at the end of the year….now. The weird FPI formula used to get this Top 25 isn’t fair to the our amazing Stats and Info team that work so incredibly hard each week behind the scenes. A&M at 24? What are we doing?

KDB finally got a team full of his guys and it’s the best Bama team since at least 2020? 🤔
I don’t think eval was ever one of his strong suits.

This defense is kind of “what if we built the whole plane out of bend, don’t break”
Alabama’s defense completed dominated in every high leverage spot you could do. LSU moved the ball on a down to down basis but on 4th downs and/or in the redzone Alabama’s defense caused havoc. Kane Wommack kept running onto the field after those for good reason

For as much as he’s been asked to do, Keelon’s turnover rate isn’t a real problem. This is lazy analysis.
"Alabama is getting Ryan Coleman-Williams back which will help.. This is gonna be a big challenge at LSU.. Keelon Russell is gonna have to play with a little more consistency and not turn the football over" Coach Saban #PMSLive

The man with losses to Purdue and Duke this year is crying that SEC bias is what’s holding his team back.
NEW: Illinois' Bret Bielema after beating Nebraska: "But to be in this job, where we’re at right now, 6-3, we beat another 5-3 team. If we were in the SEC, we’d probably be a top-15 team." (via @IllinoisRivals) on3.com/news/bret-bielema-af…

The one turnover against A&M was an INT after a scramble where he was throwing to an open guy and just didn’t quite get the air under it that I’m sure he wanted. He did have the ugly fumble early against UGA but that was it.

So 1 bad fumble against UGA, 1 bad INT against Tennessee, and nothing too bad against A&M? That actually seems really good, especially when you consider the quality of the defenses faced, the OL issues, and how often he was asked to make a play.

“This shits easy” he says, while he has UCLA ahead of UGA, Tech at 8, BYU ahead of Bama, Boise ahead of LSU, etc.
This is great both because it's well done and because I ended up with rankings I like way more than the committee's. I can officially say, to hell with the "Hey, they have a hard job" stuff. They just stink at it!

Its just funny to talk shit about the committee with rankings that are obviously bad too.

And if you want more than just anecdotal analysis, here are Bill's rankings plotted against each committee's initial rankings. Higher on the y axis = more-consistency in your rankings So, yeah, this would be one of the most inconsistent rankings we've seen.
