Indiana is outside the top 5 to start the season 👀
Each of the last four times the reigning national champion was ranked outside the preseason top 5, that team finished the season unranked ('24 Michigan, '20 LSU, '11 Auburn, '08 LSU).
Nyck harbor would be the greatest football player ever if he was remotely good at football. Unfortunately he’s bad at football and has been severely underdeveloped. People seem to forget that every offseason
Indiana has found this weird loophole where their players are excellent college football players, but not good enough to be on an NFL team
So they are just chilling on their couch and then assemble like the avengers when they get the call
NEW: Phoenix (Ariz.) Mountain Pointe 2028 DB Legarrette Blount Jr. is in no rush to make a decision.
But a pair of Big Ten schools have emerged early for him.

"Who has the strongest SOS?"
"The SEC."
"Why?"
"Because they play a bunch of SEC teams."
"How good are SEC teams?"
"Really good, because they play a bunch of SEC teams."
"How do you know if SEC teams are better than teams from other conferences?"
"They are better, because they play a lot more SEC teams than teams from other conferences."
Tennessee: didn’t beat a single team that finished with a winning record, lost bowl to B1G team.
Missouri: didn’t beat a single team that finished with a winning record, lost bowl to ACC team.
LSU: literally 7-6, got embarrassed in their own stadium by Texas A&M, lost bowl to Big 12 team.
Alabama: Lost by 14 to 5-7 FSU, squeaked past 4-8 South Carolina, squeaked past 5-7 Auburn, lost by 21 and put up -3 rushing yards in the SECCG, lost CFP game by 35.
Unbearably brutal grind.
All Drink does is complain bc he knows his team is mid af and can’t make the 12 team playoff so he either needs to (a) get an easier schedule or (b) get an expanded playoff. And he just constantly whines about it. SEC is no longer the superior conference and it showed last year.
Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz says SEC coaches already regret moving to a nine-game conference schedule. He says Lane Kiffin has long been in front saying a move from eight games would be an issue.
Drinkwitz points to Big Ten not required to play A4 non-conference opponent.
A stat that would have been unfathomable three years ago: All of the top 15 prospects from the state of Alabama in the 2027 recruiting class are now committed to schools that aren’t the University of Alabama.
