The vaunted SEC will have no finalist this year.
I can’t ever seem to get a rooting interest in the college football finals. Last year, I wanted them both to lose. This year, I want them both to win.
Indiana has the horsepower, and it would be fun to watch an once-unheralded football school have an undefeated season for the ages.
On the other hand, Miami had to scratch and claw their way here after finishing 3rd in their own conference, and having half of fandom saying they didn’t even belong in the tournament. They are single-handedly defending the honor of the ACC against the Big Two. Plus Carson Beck could become a national champion with two different universities, which is kind of a cool oddity precipitated by the new free-transfer world. (I don’t think anyone has pulled that off in the modern era.)
As I type this, Indiana is a 7.5 point favorite. That’s not surprising. The Miami game wasn’t decided until the final play, in a battle between evenly matched teams, while Indiana totally made mincemeat out of Oregon.
You might be surprised to read that Oregon actually produced more yards from scrimmage in that game, 378-362. That’s a pretty amazing stat for a game that Indiana won by five touchdowns, but an offense doesn’t need to amass a lot of yardage when the defense hands them the ball on the three-yard line. Indiana had one scoring drive of three yards, one of four, and another of nineteen.
Derion Kendrick won national championships at Clemson and Georgia. Interestingly, at two different positions.
Good one!
Randomly saw this Belgian short movie about a teacher pranked by her class going nude:
Point de fuite
Just wondering which other countries could pull this off? Getting a bunch of young looking actors who doesn’t have a problem with getting naked and shooting a short movie about a nude prank.
Do you know examples of other similar movies? Or maybe your readers do. It could be interesting see what other movies of this kind of relaxed, casual public nudity exist.
I hope Indiana ANNIHILATES Miami
Your Hope don’t mean shit
Given how my sports teams have done this year, probably not lol
Five years ago I would not have bet $5 that Indiana had a football team. I have hated Miami ever since the 2009 documentary “The U”
“THE U” IS WHAT COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEEDS
This new playoff system takes too long to wrap up.
I don’t understand why the championship game is on a Monday. Shouldn’t it be a Saturday, when most of the regular season is played?
