College Football 2020

The only team I don't hate is Clemson, so I hope they win it again.

Though if Bama wants to beat ND 59-0 in the Sugar Bowl, that would be much appreciated

TV ratings were very obviously put into consideration this year with Ohio State and Notre Dame.

[GhostMachine]

Oh, they definitely were. But Ohio State playing for their conference championship, let alone being in the national championship hunt, is absolute bullshit. Every week they didn't play but other teams did, they should have dropped in the rankings. Fuck the Buckeyes. If they somehow win, they won't be the legit champions.

Florida tight end Kyle Pitts is skipping his senior season and won't play in the Gators' upcoming bowl game to prepare for the 2021 NFL draft, he announced on social media Sunday:

Well I saw that coming. He’s easily been the best right end in the country this year.

Also, I’ve struggled to think of a year where it’s anymore obvious who the Top 3 picks will be. If it’s not Lawrence, Fields, and Sewell 1,2,3, I’ll eat hats.

With the top 3 teams basically solidified that's what I'd expect just based on need alone. Jags and Jets both need QBs and while any team would love Sewell the Bengals will really, really love him.

Army left out of a bowl game while 3-7 Tennessee gets to go to one is an absolute fucking joke.

And 2-8 South Carolina

 

But the SEC gives zero fucks, so here's SC

Dabo agrees with you. He had Ohio State #11 in his last coach’s poll.

Oh, I agree its stupid, but don't use just Tennessee as an example. 2-8 South Carolina and another 3-7 school made it to bowl games, as well. I have always felt that teams with losing records should not make it to a bowl, period.

 Meanwhile, Jarrett Guarantano has entered the transfer portal. Doesn't necessarily mean he will go anywhere, but here's hoping he does.

And UT's compliance department is apparently going to investigate the recruitment of a player who ended up going to Georgia instead. If they find there was any impropriety, Pruitt will probably be gone soon.

NCAA relaxed its rules just this year so they could get as many big schools in games as possible for TV ratings. So dirty.

After both Billy Napier and Brent Venables turned down Auburn, they're preparing to hire Bryan Harsin.

For those of you saying, "Who?" He's the Boise State head coach that's won quite a few games but has never gotten Boise to the point where they were when Chris Petersen was there. 

[gunnar hendershow]

They could likely do a lot worse than Harsin, but I'm frankly surprised they didn't hire Hugh Freeze.

Harsin also was the guy who succeeded Malzahn at Arkansas State, and now is suceeding him at Auburn.

[gunnar hendershow]

Seeing some rumors that Boise could be looking to Kellen Moore to fill its coaching vacancy.

 

[Meacon Keaton]

I heard Hugh Freeze from another friend, but last I heard, he was actually enjoying Liberty and working on a long term contract with a ridiculous buyout.

Not the worst idea for him given his, ahem, tendency to skirt around the rules.

Would really like it if DeVonta Smith wins it. Tired of these QBs racking up gaudy stats against subpar teams winning every year.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, it should be DeVonta Smith, but everybody knows it'll be a quarterback because Christ knows it can't ever be something other than a quarterback.

[gunnar hendershow]

For what it's worth there is a lot of buzz around the fact he should win that there might be something to it. Feels like 2011 with RGIII's momentum when he surged past Luck.
