I love how Boise fired their coach and the team was like “hey let’s play good football now!”
Avalos was (apparently) a major micro-manager who severely limited the ability of Hamdan (OC) and Danielson (DC, now interim HC)) to do their jobs. Take off the shackles and now the team can played as coached.
Talent has been there, now we have cohesiveness and focus/motivation.

We did just lose the highest ranked commit ever from the state of Idaho (due to Avalos' firing)... but a trade-off we'll all take.

Georgia looks tame without it's weapons at full strength. That 4th down catch call was BS thoughz
Georgia has been fairly non impressive (relatively speaking) and haven’t seen a good defense. Let’s see how they respond. The talk by CBS commentators of potentially leaving out the SEC champs in certain scenarios is ludicrous

For those unfamiliar with Boise... learn the name Ashton Jeanty. He may be the best running back in the country (true Soph).

I hope we can keep him (NIL) for one more year!

12 teams is going to be an improvement, but these championships are going to be way less compelling. This weekend is my favorite in college football, even more than the bowls. I know that getting in the top 12, getting the bye, or getting a home game will still matter.

But as imperfect as having only 4 is, this is awesome.

Couldn't agree more, this puts the NFL to shame, nothing like it.

Bama wins. Uga loses. This will be chaos. The pundits are salivating of course

whoever said 8 teams this year would be graeat is spot on

Tho consider the conf champs as round of 8, kinda get there

I was rooting for Alabama but if I want Michigan in I suppose I should root for Georgia and Louisville to win, so the Wolverines theoretically still can make it even if Iowa pulls the upset. Very confusing.

Bama talk has been down all year and they might win it all. In the words of a Seattle Scumbag “Yikes

At this very moment it feels like Michigan, Washington, FSU, Texas in that order, followed by Alabama, Georgia, OSU

How FSU looks with a 3rd string QB tonight could muddle things even further.

Is there really an hour and a half pregame show for the Big 10 championship? Who watches that?
The same types of folks who will criticize a coach or manager whose team wins games but doesn't do so flawlessly (i.e. exactly like the person complaining would do it).
