If these rumors about Ohio State end up having legs and the NCAA is in fact investigating OSU for this, then the Big Ten Joint Group Executive Committee and the commissioner Tony Petitti have already just recently created a precedent for this very situation when they suspended Michigan coach Jim...

I watch the Colts, and I was surprised by that brief action at the end of the play. I've never seen Zaire do that sort of thing. Who knows what the backstory is. That aside, that tackle was impressive. Zaire ran across the field, taking a great angle, and showing impressive speed to track...

Through 3 games the Colts' defense has been a sold unit all-around.

I was looking for the Army cadets during the broadcast. Too bad for whatever reason they did not make the trip.

I was happy to see SU play well especially with so many banged up or missing players. I thought it would be a competitive game, and I am glad it turned out to be. The Cuse beat a healthy and complete Purdue squad in the dome, so there was every reason to think they could beat Minny in NYC...

Great SU team win!! Just awesome. Go Cuse!!

Way to go Cuse!! Creighton showed up tonight, and SU weathered the Duncan McGuire storm. That was an impressive win. Go Cuse!!

I look forward to an exciting game. P.J. Fleck does an outstanding job. Gophers' freshman QB Kaliakmanis who stepped in later in the season for Tanner Morgan has played well and opened up the Gophers' offense a bit. Their RB Ibrahim is one of the best in the country.

I think the CFP committee did a great job this year especially down the stretch. College football delivered, and so did the committee in terms of doing its job. Obviously, the initial committee ranking (week 10) having Tennessee at #1 and Clemson at #4 was off target. At that time I thought...

Nick Sabin just talked about a circumstance that he did not mention last night as he made the rounds lobbying Bama's case to make the CFP. Before going into that, Sabin's record speaks for itself, and as far as I am concerned he is the best college football coach perhaps ever. What Sabin...

"The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement."

out of the Top 10 in the college football playoff rankings. Let's assume this committee gets that right. And while it is rare indeed to drop so far in the CFP rankings it may reflect more on this committee's judgment than Clemson itself. This Tiger team has yet to shine all season. Bama...

Zaire Mic-d Up

As a kid growing up in Indiana I used to watch the weekly IU football show on channel 4 out of Bloomington. Winning football games at IU has almost always been a difficult proposition, but Lee Corso kept the job for 10 years even though he only had a few winning seasons. Corso kept the job for...

Great effort!! Much respect for this team. Go Cuse!!

This was Rece Davis's response this morning after Gameday aired a nice report about Jim Harbaugh. The report was a rare behind-the-scenes look at the coach, and like most reports about most public figures if you tend to respect and enjoy the personality or person you have a positive response but...

Good point about mistakes and turnovers. Yesterday Georgia moved the ball against Bama's defense, but they scored just 24 points which is 16 below their season points average. One reason for the lower point total yesterday is that throughout the season Georgia's defense accounted for points...

Iowa's defense is not at the same level talent-wise as Georgia's defense, and Georgia's defense is better than the Iowa defense. But Iowa plays really good defense. The Hawkeye's defense is among the best in the country. Last night the Hawkeye's slowed down the Michigan offense for a while, but...

If Metchie is out for the playoff (reported that he may have torn an ACL) then who will step up to replace his speed and talent? Last night Metchie was injured at the end of the first half. Bama's second half production on offense was not the same without Metchie. Bama always has answers, but...

In the top six we have: -one team from Georgia -one team from Michigan -one team from Alabama -one team from Ohio -one team from Oklahoma -one team from Indiana From #7 to #15 we have: -another team from Ohio -a team from Mississippi -a team from Texas -a team from Oregon -another team from...

I would not have been surprised if Babers had been let go. Had no idea if it would happen or not, but I wasn't shocked to hear the news that he is keeping the job. Personally, I consider the 2020 season a wash due to Covid, and I give Dino Babers a mulligan on that one like I do most coaches...

Yesterday (11/20) the conference with the solidarity chant gave us: UL Monroe (4-7) v. LUS South Alabama (5-6) v. Tennessee New Mexico State (1-10) v. Kentucky Tennessee State (5-6) v. Miss. State Prairie View (7-3) v. Texas A&M Charleston Southern (4-6) v. Georgia Last Saturday (11/13) the...

Zaire Blocked a punt today and a teammate scooped and scored. Not bad for a 2018 7th rounder. Go Cuse!!

VTech had 1 penalty for 5 yards and 0 turnovers and still lost as a favorite at home! SU flipped the script. Go Cuse!!

Pac 12-- media whiff? Not if you zoom in on Bill Walton. I can hear him saying "The conference of Champions" somewhere right now with more frequency and volume than anything we have ever seen or heard. He may have been the only person in the world whose bracket had this many Pac 12 teams...

I thought both Georgia and Alabama did a much better job separating fans than what I saw watching the Iowa State game. All three of those states have had much more viral spread these past few months than NY state has had, so I think the coaches and ADs etc. at those schools have done a great job...

Covid cases per capita: 1.Louisiana 2. Mississippi 3. Florida 4. Alabama 5. North Dakota 6. Georgia 7. Arizona 8. South Carolina 9. Tennessee 10. Iowa 11. Arkansa 12. Texas 13. South Dakota 14. Nevada 15. New York NY tests more than all of these states both total tests and tests per capita...

The Dome has been used for NCAA tournament purposes for years. The risk of virus spread is a concern. Although, on the flip side it is likely that any football teams and staff who travel to places like Syracuse will be taking reasonable measures to prevent being infected by the environment...

Just like Syracuse it is very cold in places like Ann Arbor, Madison, and Chicago during February and March. This was probably part of the plan before they decided to postpone the season. That said, it remains to be seen if they pulled to plug too early on the Fall season.

The last time I checked the positivity rate (virus spread) in NY state has been hovering around 1% going back quite some time possibly back to May. Whereas in states like Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia the positivity rate has been above 10% for quite some time. Right now there is much...

Please correct me if I am wrong. For about 140 years college football was played without instant replay (this is generalization here because I do not want to research the precise date when college football instituted instant replay for use in-games). Without instant replay the officials made...

and his Tar Heels wrapped a successful season yesterday which was great to see. The Tar Heels' offense had been the strength of that team all season, which was a bit inverted if you recall those great Mack Brown defenses back in the day during his first go as head coach in Chapel Hill. But...

For crying out loud, it is time to pay the student athletes!! The NCAA appears to have 100 percent Neanderthal DNA. I am not sure if the NCAA will go extinct, but it's days as-is must surely be numbered.

Ohio State and LSU are both great teams, and Clemson could be just as good or even better. And so, one more problem with the 4-team playoff is that the #2 and the #3 face off in the first round. My top 8- Ohio State LSU Clemson Oklahoma Oregon Wisconsin Baylor Georgia After #3 it becomes...

I respect this team for battling and finishing with a 5-7 record. Thank you once again for a detailed report and good read. I have posted here more than once, somewhat inaccurately, that it took Coach Mac 5 years to build his program at SU, but it wasn't until the 7th season that the program...

Great to see Greg McElroy on the show tonight. McElroy is very bright. AND he has integrity.

mantra that has been preached from on high now for over 5 years makes no sense. It is basically impossible to select the so-called 4 best teams. We don't even have a real, working definition for what a "best team" is. And there is no reason to limit the College Football Playoffs to just 4...

After week 7 where most teams have played 6 games and have therefore reached the halfway point, we have 12 undefeated teams remaining: Alabama LSU Ohio State Wisconsin Penn State Minnesota Baylor Oklahoma Clemson SMU (American Athletic Conference) Appalachian State (Sun Belt) Boise State...

Thank you again to Tim Lester for recruiting Eric Dungey out of Lake Oswego, Oregon. That was an amazing find. Even in Dungey's true Freshman season he was clearly special, and as a fan of SU football and an alumnus I am pleased beyond words to have watched Dungey put on the SU jersey and...

in Spartanburg, SC and gone to Wofford, how good would the Terriers be? They may lose to UK today, but they are clearly a good team. With Zion they could be a force. That would have been fun.

I would love for SU to play Penn State, although I guess be careful what you ask for as they say. Penn State beat Pitt 51-6. But then again UCF beat Pitt 45-14. Pitt does deserve credit for playing against some really good teams. Even so, I do think SU could beat Penn State nonetheless, but...

I think ND should be bounced, but it will not happen. What could happen is that the SEC will have 2 teams and the ACC will have 1.5 teams; like this: Bama Clemson ND Georgia Clemson will blow out ND, and Bama will blow out Georgia. Last night Bama played poorly and still won. Bama dropped...

I hope not, but I will not be shocked. My guess is the committee will now rank NC State and move Northwestern out of the rankings. NC State narrowly beat UNC 34-28 and then beat a bad ECU team, but that will probably be enough for this group to put them into the Top 25. They really enjoy...

I am inclined to agree with that line of thinking but there are always exceptions, and the Big 12 this season was a disaster. Iowa State being ranked is debatable. They lost to Iowa, and Iowa finished with one more win. Iowa is not ranked, but Iowa State is? This committee is the committee...
