Championship Week

I'm just glad the divisions will be gone soon.  The Coastal division is an utter joke.  At one time Miami and VT were good, but that's been a hot minute.  Outside of BC, I think at some point during the season every team in the Atlantic division was ranked.  As seen tonight, there's no comparison.  When the divisions finally do go away, the old Coastal teams will get a couple more 'L's' hung on them per season and the old Atlantic teams can pad a couple more W's to their resume'.

So ...

1. GA

2. MICH

3. OSU

4. TCU or BAMA or even ... CLEM ???

It's gotta be TCU. But I bet it'll be Alabama sadly.

Like most years, no 4th team really deserves in.  Probably can argue no 3rd or 4th team this year. 

I don’t want Clemson in nor arguing for it    But I think Clemson should be ahead of Bama/Tenn.  Otherwise, end the conference championship games.  They carry no weight and are just an injury risk for teams that are actually competing. 

11-2 power 5 champ should be ranked ahead of a 10-2 nothing power 5 school IMO. 
 

I’d vote TCU and put them 3rd just to avoid Mich/OSU in the first round.  Make OSU play UGA

Nobody needs divisions to begin with. Had the Big 10 not had them, OSU and MICH would have met tonight again, instead of Purdue. But thanks to a 12 team CFP coming in 2024 or whatever, all of that doesn't matter anymore.

If he leaves I'll lose all respect for him 

I won't. These kids have to do what's best for them. Howell was getting #1 overall pick talk but lost his supporting cast and still had a mouth breathing moron for an OC. End result? He ends up going in the 5th round after pretty much single handedly carrying an entire offense on his back. That's what Drake Maye is going to be hearing from elite programs. And it's fair.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
