Notre Dame is a top 10 team despite being left out of the playoff

I do think Notre Dame is unquestionably one of the top 10 teams in the country. And to not have them in a College Football Playoff to decide a champion is stupid.

Subjective ranking opinion.

I feel no remorse for Alabama missing the College Football Playoff

Alabama got left out. I feel no remorse for Alabama... you lost all three of your games in the conference. Their three losses were Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, and Tennessee... you just have to win the games that you should win.

Georgia is the best team in the college football country

I think Georgia at their best beats any team at their best. I think Georgia at their worst also beats any team at their worst. Like the floor for Georgia is higher than any other team's floor. And I think that Georgia, like medium Georgia probably beats everybody at their medium except for maybe Alabama.

Georgia finished the regular season with two losses and did not win the SEC, though they remained a top-tier contender.

Indiana should be ranked ahead of Ohio State and Texas because they are undefeated

I think you should just like, as a personal belief, the undefeated team should be ranked ahead of the team with a loss no matter what the schedule is like at this point in the season... Indiana's undefeated. And you could say, well they haven't beaten anyone. True. But if you go common opponents... Indiana beat Nebraska by a million.

This is subjective regarding ranking philosophy, though the committee did eventually rank Indiana very high, just not above everyone.

Mike Elko is a great football coach and was the right hire over a 'sexy' name

It's a great reminder though, for Texas A&M who did the Let's get Jimbo Fisher and pay him a hundred million dollars... sometimes in college football, Mike Elko was not the sexy hire. He's just a very good competent, like nuts and bolts football coach... Mike Elko is a fucking great football coach.

A&M went from a disaster to SEC title contention in Elko's first year, supporting this take.

Travis Hunter is the best football player in the country and it shouldn't be up for debate

I think if you're just basing this off, who's the best football player? That's the criteria, right? Yeah. Who's the best football player in the country? Yeah. I don't think that it's up for debate.

Subjective Heisman debate, but Hunter's status as the betting favorite in late 2024 aligns with the claim.

I am officially ranking Georgia as the number one team in the country

Georgia's my number one team. Texas two, Ohio State's three. Tennessee, Penn State, USC, Miami, Alabama, Ole Miss, Missouri, Iowa State... and Northern Illinois.

Texas eventually overtook Georgia in many polls later in the season before they played each other.

Texas is actually the best team in the country, not Georgia

I got Texas [at number one]... The way that they looked against Michigan, the final score, I don't think, does that game justice. It could have been a lot worse. Texas is very good.

Texas proved to be arguably the most complete team for much of the 2024 season.

Florida State deserved to be in the Playoff, but Alabama makes for better TV

Two things can be true at the same time. Florida State deserved to be in the college football playoff. The college football Playoff is better off with Alabama in it. If you asked literally any division one coach, who would you rather play? Florida State or Alabama? I think they would all say they would rather play Florida State.

Subjective debate regarding the CFP committee's criteria.

If Florida State beats Georgia in the Orange Bowl, they should claim a National Championship

If Florida State goes and beats Georgia in their bowl game, claim that National Championship. Just claim it. Just say it. Pull the UCF and no, there's no rule of saying that you can't declare yourself National champion if you're undefeated. That's what I would do.

Florida State lost to Georgia 63-3, so the condition of them beating Georgia was not met.

This is the first CFP where all four teams can legitimately win the title

Florida State debacle aside, this is the first time I feel like we have a college football playoff where all four teams can win the title. And it's not like a leap of imagination. It is four teams that are so fucking good and they all kind of do stuff... it's gonna be a great matchup everywhere.

The games were extremely competitive (Alabama-Michigan went to OT, Washington-Texas was a one-score game), supporting the claim of parity.

Oregon is currently the best team in the Pac-12 despite their loss to Washington

I do think Oregon, what they did in Utah on Saturday, like that doesn't happen to Utah. They bullied him. Oregon. It's weird because even though they lost to Washington, they look like they're the best team in that conference right now.

Washington beat Oregon for a second time in the Pac-12 Championship game, proving they were the superior team in that conference for 2023.

There are no superpower teams in college football this year

It feels like this college football season... No one's really that good... There's a lot of really good teams, but no superpower team, which I love.

Michigan went undefeated and won the title, though many games were close, confirming there wasn't a 2019 LSU-level juggernaut until the very end.

There is no difference between what Steve Sarkisian has done at Texas and what Tom Herman did

There's no difference between what Sark has done so far at Texas and what Tom Herman had did. Actually, Tom Herman was better at this point. He beat more ranked teams, he went to a bowl.

Sarkisian eventually turned Texas around, making the CFP in 2023, surpassing Herman's peak. At the time of the take (2022), the stats were arguably in Herman's favor.

Georgia's defense is currently an NFL-level unit

They're an NFL team, Georgia. Their defense is an NFL defense. It's just three years away from being in an NFL defense.

Subjective comparison, but Georgia's 2021-2022 defenses set records for NFL draft picks (15 in 2022 alone).

A college team running the triple option with five-star recruits would be unstoppable

I would love to just see the triple option with elite athletes, cuz no one, I would love to just see the triple option with elite athletes and how much it would fuck everyone up. Cause I don't know how you would defend it. If you had like five star dudes buying in to triple option.

This is a theoretical sports debate that hasn't been tested in the modern era with a top-recruiting program.

Marcus Freeman might not be a good coach

Marcus Freeman's in trouble a little bit, a little bit. He might not be a good coach. I'm actually gonna say that. He's not.

Freeman turned the season around to finish 9-4 in 2022 and has remained the head coach with winning seasons since, though his 'elite' status remains debated.

USC is a top three job in college football

I think USC is a top job. Top three job maybe.

Subjective ranking, though Lincoln Riley's immediate move there suggests high market value.

If you live in the South, you must cancel your wedding if it is scheduled for November 9th.

PSA. If you're getting married on November 9th, and you live anywhere below, let's say Kentucky. You need to cancel your wedding right now. Because your wedding will be cursed.

The game was indeed 'The Game of the Century' that year (LSU 46, Alabama 41). Any wedding in the South that day would have been heavily distracted.

Texas is officially 'not back' because their field looks like baby diarrhea

Somebody pointed out that the color situation on the broadcast cameras change at Texas depending on what network is running the game... It changes depending on how back Texas is... I was like, they're not back because that field looks like baby diarrhea. Officially not back.

OpinionCFBMediumSarcastic
Texas finished the 2019 season 8-5, which most fans did not consider 'back' to their former glory.
