Urban Meyer on Ohio State QB Kyle McCord entering the Transfer Portal:
“That made no sense. I’m still trying to comprehend it. I tried to take a position of Kyle or even Ohio State, and it just doesn’t compute.
He had a good year. I mean they beat Notre Dame as a first-time starter, 3 new offensive linemen.
You know, he’s on the 37-yard line. He threw 2 interceptions in the Wolverine game that weren’t his fault...
I’m trying to make it compute, because I want to be empathetic and I want to say, ‘OK, I understand.’
There’s no place better for Kyle than Ohio State. That place does not exist, unless he’s being guaranteed a starting spot...
I’m not ripping Kyle at all, because I don’t know him. I admire him, and I think he was in a tough situation all year. But yea, I didn’t dig in too hard because I don’t want to. But it does not compute with me. I guess I love Ohio State, and I think competition brings out the best in you."

🚨 | BREAKING: ESPN has released new details of what went on in the CFP Committee Room the night that FSU's Playoff bid was stolen...
CFP Executive Director Bill Hancock explained that to vote, each committee member casts votes individually on a laptop. Hancock is in sole charge of tallying up the votes, & he's chosen to keep all individual ballots private 🤔
In the event of a close vote or tie, committee members will debate amongst themselves in order to determine which team should be higher.
Here's where it gets WEIRD...
🎙️ | NC State AD Boo Corrigan: "The [committee] voted 6 to 8 times on #4 on Saturday Night."
At this point, the committee had narrowed down #4 to either Alabama or Florida State. But no official decision was made, & the committee members went to bed.
On Sunday Morning, the committee met again, & Alabama was given the #4 spot after just a few rounds of voting...
So what changed overnight behind the scenes to make the committee drop FSU? We may never know.
