We’re about to get one of these every 1-2 years for the next decade like the fast and furious movies

Boom

[Brad Muller @SCBrad92]

Wow! Down 3-0 and rallies for 4-3 win!

[Chris Marler @Vern_Funquist]

What's even wilder about this stat is that LSU leads the SEC, and is 4th nationally, in trips to the Red Zone (inside the 20) with 49.

Of those 49, they've only gotten inside the 10 21 times??

So, 28 of those trips, or 57.1%, didn't get a first down. Wow.

[Russ Mitchell @RussMitchellCFB]

It's not just "struggling to finish drives." It's the absolute futility on drives inside the 10-yard line that's killing Lane Kiffin & the #LSU Tigers. We'll discuss it with @MattMoscona next. #SEC

[SEC Mike @MichaelWBratton]

South Carolina is dead last in the SEC with a -7 turnover margin (#127 nationally)

Being last in turnovers killed these teams:

2025 Arkansas (2-10)
2024 Auburn (5-7)
2023 Florida (5-7)

The fact Carolina is winning with all the turnovers suggests the Gamecocks could be elite

Is this Texas A&M team a dangerous matchup for Tennessee in College Station?

@Vern_Funquist says the challenge will be for Marcel Reed and the Aggie offense scoring vs the Vols defense... @LockedOnSEC

Really have to ask yourself if this warrants moving Bama up to No. 1

BREAKING: Kamario Taylor is finalizing a $7.5M deal to return to Mississippi State in 2027, making him college football's highest-paid QB, @PeteNakos and @Clowfb report.

With incentives, the deal could potentially climb above $9 million.

[Chris Marler @Vern_Funquist]

Crazy. That's not Miami's logo.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Sources: Mississippi State star quarterback Kamario Taylor is finalizing a deal to return there in 2027. His return means one of the faces of college football next year will be in Starkville. Taylor led MSU to a 4-0 record to start this year before injury cut short his season.

A lot of talk today about the @CFBPlayoff - probably by design of the process. Happy to share my data which factors only games v Power Conf Opp. 13-25 in first comment

[Chris Marler @Vern_Funquist]

We’ve all seen this clip a million times.

But has anyone ever talked to the actual official and asked what the hell went into this decision?

Ryan Day on Buyout Island? Jeff Lebby joins him, along with Rhule, Deion and Sonny Dykes.

Plus, Greg Schiano gets a reprieve at Rutgers.
Five coaches. Big buyouts. Tough decisions.

[Chris Marler @Vern_Funquist]

How good is Texas' defense playing this season?

They're allowing just 4.13 yards per play so far this season which leads the country.

To put that in perspective, that's better than Georgia's historic 2021 unit that allowed 4.15 in their national championship season.

[The Rooting Guide @TheRootingGuide]

No. 11 in the country. Just a 16.8% CFP chance in our model.

Kentucky fans are entitled to ask: what gives? 🔵

A lot of the answer is still on the schedule.

Florida is close to a coin flip. Kentucky is an underdog at Missouri. Louisville is another game the model sees as slightly less than a coin flip.

The ranking says Kentucky has a playoff position to defend. The schedule says defending it will be difficult.

But win all three, and our model puts the Wildcats above 99%. The opportunity is very much there.

This week, start with Florida. Then pull for LSU, Oklahoma and Texas A&M to make life less comfortable for other SEC contenders.

Conference pride can take the weekend off.

A crime of passion

[MLFootball @MLFootball]

🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨

Former #NFL head coach Rex Ryan turned himself in to Nashville police Wednesday morning after allegedly hitting two pedestrians with his pickup truck last week.

Police say Ryan RAN OVER both victims’ feet and struck one in the leg while they were crossing with a walk signal.

Ryan allegedly drove away after an argument with the victims.

Rex faces SIX charges, including leaving the scene, failing to provide information or aid, and disobeying a traffic signal.

[The Rooting Guide @TheRootingGuide]

South Carolina’s playoff hopes are still alive. And “alive” is doing more work than you might think. 🐔

Win out, and our model gives the Gamecocks an 83.2% CFP chance.

The catch? That includes beating Georgia. A pretty substantial item on the to-do list.

This is overwhelmingly an at-large chase, and some help around the country over the next few weeks would make it more comfortable. But Carolina still has a chance to change its own résumé dramatically.

For this week: handle Arkansas. Then become an enthusiastic supporter of SMU, Baylor and Oklahoma State.

Apparently the road from Columbia to the playoff includes a layover in the old Southwest Conference footprint.

Georgia can wait a week. 👇

Is the detail having a new quarterback and offensive line?
