UCLA entered today 51-6... now 51-7

5 of those losses are vs teams in the state of California

Got to talk Coach Walden at the CUSA media days.. Gonna be fun to watch what he does this year and as he steps up in the coaching ranks.

The yelling from the UNC coaches in the next room over was . . . intense.

I worked this bowl game doing stats for the ESPN broadcast. I was monitoring four different record books the entire second half, including a Football Bowl Association media guide that kept me one step ahead of ESPN Stats and Info. Incredible showing by BU coaches and players.

What Baylor did at the end of the 2015 season might be the best exhibition of coaching in the 21st century…

❌ Didn’t have QB1 or QB2
❌ Didn’t have RB1
❌ Didn’t have WR1

What happened? They broke the bowl game rushing record with 651 yards, and scored 49 points to win 😳

5 teams projected as favorites in every 2025 regular season game, but it doesn’t guarantee an unbeaten season. Also, 8 other teams projected as favorites in 11 of 12 games
