Good morning. I have a new sports media company. Welcome to Sport & State. My welcome column telling you what the site will be and where I see media going. This will be fun. Check us out: https://t.co/hzOcYs3laE

CFP Rankings, Russini Is BACK, Kirk Cousins Reunion, & Rubio Under Attack for UF Games https://t.co/kGDXdJ2Khl

[matt foley ☁ @mattyfoles]

The CFP is changing everything about college football. Even Army–Navy.

I spoke with Army AD Tom Theodorakis about how Army, Navy, and the American Conference preserved tradition and protected their path to the playoff. @SportNState

The audience from the start of the NFL playoffs to the Super Bowl roughly quadruples. CFB doesn��t move much. Why is that? Debate, discuss.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

The biggest ratings issue CFB has is growing audience during postseason. Most sports grow massively from the start of the playoff until the end. College football doesn’t. The most watched college football game in 21st century remains USC-Texas in 2006 with 35.6 million viewers.

[Michael Mulvihill @mulvihill79]

Total time spent watching college football is now up +4% over last year’s record high pace through Week 10, which is sure to spark more thinkpieces on why ratings are down.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

125+ million watch the Super Bowl & audience continues to grow larger. Why has the college football title game audience never gotten back to what we hit twenty years ago? It’s a good debate to have. Certainly two huge brands helps, but we have had lots of huge brand games since.

Bottles of Gavin Newsom’s wine sell for up to $7000 each?! This is like Hunter Biden’s art work selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Just an illegal money funnel.

[Christopher Rufo @christopherrufo]

EXCLUSIVE: We spent weeks in Napa Valley investigating Gavin Newsom's wine empire. According to a whistleblower, the operation is built on undocumented migrant labor, in violation of the law.

Illegal aliens pick the grapes—and Newsom sells the wine for up to $7,000 a bottle.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

This is insane.

[Jennie Taer @JennieSTaer]

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: The migrant accused of attempting to hijack a United Airlines flight this week claimed to be transgender to get a “fast pass” into the U.S.,@realDailyWire has learned.

His trans claim is what allowed the suspect to stay in the country after two prior deportations:

We should be applauding dads who never miss their kids games. There are far too many absent dads in the country. Who is the editor who approved this story? Do they have kids? Just a moronic out of touch line of attack.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

The Washington Post is attacking Marco Rubio for attending his son’s college football games on US government planes. For security reasons Rubio must travel on these planes. So his only option is don’t go to his son’s games or use government planes. This is a nasty, unfair attack.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

I can’t imagine any dad — or mom — agreeing with this attack. One of the reasons we struggle to get talented people to take these jobs is the challenge of being a good dad or mom while having super difficult jobs that, frankly, pay poorly compared to the private sector.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

I think college football is becoming playoff or bust for elite players. With Ohio State out of contention, I wouldn't be surprised if Jeremiah Smith shut it down and started preparing for the NFL.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 teams will be great for the sport. Instead of fans checking out in November, we could have 50 teams still believing they have a shot at a national championship. But, not everyone is happy about it.

The @HeismanTrophy frontrunners and the path their odds have taken to get to Week 11

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

@JoshPateCFB I think scheduling is going to become more difficult for independent schools. Especially when the Big Ten and SEC challenge gets announced. No one will want to play 11 power conference regular season games. Toss in the ACC-SEC rivalry games and ND’s options will be tiny.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Based on the current college football playoff committee rankings, there’s a real chance the Big Ten only gets one playoff team. And more than two looks very tough.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

I don’t have a problem with Indiana at 9, but I don’t understand the huge drop on a bye. Miami dropping all the way to 7 is tough to explain too. And Alabama at 3 is crazy considering they have the same record as Tennessee, who is 8, and beat them by 16 a few weeks ago.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Indiana drops to 9, five spots on a bye week!, Tennessee is 8, Miami is 7, drops six! spots after loss, Texas is 6, Notre Dame 5, UCLA 4, Alabama is 3!, Utah is 2 and Georgia is 1. The committee is drunk. Again.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Alabama-LSU had more viewers — 8.9 million — than Miami-Notre Dame — 8.6 million. Pretty wild. SEC TV ratings are dominating the rest of college football.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

I’ve got 18 college football winners for the weekend and the blood bank guarantee — now 8-2 on the season! — too. Get rich, kids: https://t.co/i1khbgLK14

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Notre Dame needs to join a conference. The quality of games they can get is going to continue to decline, I think, in a nine conference game era. Sure, they will often make the 24 team playoff, but that’s in playoff TV deal. What value does Notre Dame and 12 mediocre games bring?

[On3 @On3]

NEW: Florida has canceled its home-and-home series with Notre Dame in 2031 and 2032, @Brett_McMurphy reports.
