Every quarter of the College Football Playoff I’ve watched so far has me more and more convinced Notre Dame would have done serious damage in this field. I think the postseason form the Fighting Irish were rounding into was better than anything we’ve seen from any of these teams.
Texas A&M went 7-1 in the SEC and was a tiebreaker away from making the SEC Championship Game and scored 3 total points at home against a "lowly" ACC team, so I think we need to retire the "SEC teams would go undefeated in every other conference" narrative forever
So, BYU was penalized for getting blown out in its conference championship game (dropped one spot). Which allowed Miami to move up and get compared directly to Notre Dame.
But Alabama was not penalized for getting blown out in its conference championship game.
He worked his whole life for this night. Hit his first three 3s in Game 7.
Now this.
Just a gutting end to a historic playoff run from Tyrese Haliburton.

This would not be a convo if:
• AR used his brain on 3 plays Sunday
• Shane called a better game
• Pitt didn’t have an OPI on a TD/ have 2 drops
• Goodson didn’t drop a TD
• AD got a foot in
• Q didn’t have 3 False Starts
• AP didn’t drop 2
Not one guy is at fault.
I'll die on this hill and live with whatever crazy comments come under this post
But Anthony Richardson played well enough to win that football game.
Too many drops and a bad offensive game plan lost the #Colts this one.
• Pacers had two points from Haliburton not allowed
• Brunson's foul was reversed after review
• Pacers called for kick ball that wasn't kicked
• Myles Turner called for questionable illegal screen
I respectfully disagree
1. JT was CLEARLY hurt
2. If he's on the field, they are keying on him
3. Goodson repped this play all week, for that exact look, they got it.
4. The play was WIDE open
5. QB2 missed an easy throw
It wasn't the play call. It was the execution.
This loss hurts and will hurt more as the offseason goes on.
But don't let that diminish the season that Shane Steichen just led this depleted #Colts team to.
A 9-8 finish with:
- A banged up OL all season long
- A backup QB for the majority of the season
- Missing his star RB for a decent chunk of the season
- Let's not forget the JT contract drama before the season even starts 😂
This season was a win for the Colts going forward.
