I just heard a rumor from a pretty good source that is saying bama is going to offer drake maye a million dollar NIL deal to get him there.   Supposedly UNC is losing a ton on offense so it would behoove maye to switch schools.  If he sits out the bowl game then that would be the tell tale sign

That would be hilarious and kill the UNC fanboys, but his family has been a big deal in Chapel Hill for years now, so I wouldn't put much stock in the rumor.

Definitely. Glad LSU and Tennessee lost because they got way too much credit for beating Alabama, a team that could easily be 7-5. Might have been the worst Alabama team in a while and somehow LSU with two losses was knocking on the door for the playoffs. Same with Tennessee last week.

Bama, Clemson, Ohio St.  Could argue they are the weakest versions in a decade.   Those have been the big 3 the last decade.  

Michigan and UGA IMO only look great in the context of this season.    I think they get stomped by top teams of the past decade. 

Pros and cons to parity.  I think it is temporary under the current structure.  I think college football still has a lot of work to do with NIL.  It’s basically pay to play and professional sports currently.  And some programs are really going to take advantage of NIL and the transfer portal in ways we havent seen fully play out yet IMO.   Handful of programs are just going to write checks others can’t keep pace with.

Ohio State and Alabama are a bit of a surprise because they have solid QBs. Clemson has DJ Trash at QB, dude is legit terrible and loses games.

DJ is trash, but more of an impact going forward is Dabo’s refusal to utilize the transfer portal and the promoting coaches from within. His reliance on recruiting kids and developing them is not going to work in this era of college football. 
 

I’ve generally enjoyed Dabo over the past decade or so but his value system doesn’t match up with what college football is turning into. I do not think Dabo will change and I can’t fault him for sticking to what he believes in.  I think Clemson, will continue to do well in the ACC (while it lasts) but likely will not be competing for national championships.

I mean it works if you recruit a super stud QB and he actually pans out.  They have been just a QB short the past two years.    And they probably are in the CFP with just a decent QB the last two years (not even a stud). 
 

He has one of the best prospects on the bench.   A real head scratcher there why he is waiting on using him

Oh I definitely see him transferring.  He has 2 options: Pac-12 to get bonkers awesome inflated stats to hype himself up for the draft or SEC for a legacy run at a title.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And that’s where a lot of people struggle to see it with Bryce Bryce is never physically going to “wow” anyone. Which will ultimately keep him out of that elite QB tier.  Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Maye, Stafford People want to put Herbert in that tier because he’s the ultimate highlight type QB. Highlights in this day and age trump just about everything. I’m more inclined to put Dak in that category than Herbert.  Then there’s the tier before the elite group. That’s where I believe Young’s ceiling is. Which is fine. You better have a good team and a good coach around these types though.  I believe Bryce has a higher ceiling than Goff. Put Young on Detroit and that team has a higher ceiling. Would also have a lower floor but you’d take that.  Bryce doesn’t have many true ‘wtf’ moments. He definitely did his rookie year. Granted the bulk of his “supporting cast” and HC are out of the league now and were well on their way out when the arrived here.  Due to lack of physical traits and what made Bryce good at Bama this NFL thing was and still is going to take time with him. He’s adjusting to NFL defenses.  So sure, we’re kind of in a pickle. Do we keep Bryce and have something like the 10th best QB in the league paired with Canales whose ceiling is probably similar at his position or do we keep doing what we’ve been doing since 2017? This team has been an absolute mess since Tepper took over. He’s finally seeing some wins. I’m all for spending a day 3 pick every year on a QB with traits. But for the time being Young is definitely our best option in 2026 and it would be tough to imagine us having a better option at this point in 2027 as well I know how much the huddle loves charts but this wasn’t happening his rookie year. This chart is 2 weeks old but point remains. It’s also why I said Dalton would be useless against Buffalo. Bryce has done a real good job at avoiding sacks this year and then making something happen. Bryce is fully capable of giving you those 4-5 big plays you need from a QB a game. Those 4-5 big plays just look a lot different than the 4-5 big highlight type plays you get from those physically gifted QB’s

      5 games without a turnover, the defense has surprised me a lot this year. Second to last in sacks, yet still getting the job done, impressive.

      Does Canales get a nickname yet?

      Dave “Uncanny” Canales His choices are often inexplicable, but work absurdly well about half the time.
