The way they've been all year. They're the best team in the country when they're playing at their best but they look shockingly average for long stretches in a lot of games.

It’s Sarkesian’s playcalling. His cutesy playcalling burns them but also saves them

Texas won a game they absolutely should have won in a blowout and also definitely deserved to lose. I think either Oregon or Ohio State will beat them thoroughly 

The SEC ever since the CFP was announced and Kirk Herbstreit/ESPN proceeded to launch into a massive SEC reach around ….has done nothing but show it’s all hot air and they are collectively overrated.   Like so many other seasons. 

Tenn was embarrassed more than any team to date that made the playoff 

Texas (the defensive king of the SEC) has had their D embarrassed in 2 straight games to teams from nobody conferences that are only in because the CFP was forced to allow in because of conference titles. 

SC, Bama who “should” of been lose in random bowls.  One the starting QB was trash in and the other the coach was largely out coached/flustered in. 

I mean this is why other conferences have to protect themselves and demand the auto conference champs in….because the big money conference with the help of media  paints a fake reality often in college football.  

SEC isn’t dominant.  Parity era is here

If the SEC fanboys had their way half the field would be dedicated to SEC teams every year.

So the only good playoff game I didn't watch happened to be the best of them all smh

 

Props to Arizona State I didn't think they had a shot to be competitive vs Texas. Shame on me for underestimating that program.

It wasn't so much the program as it was the player. Cam Skattebo was the best player on the field by miles.

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
