The College Football Playoff system needs tweaking, but G5 schools should still be part of it. Just win. If Notre Dame had beaten Miami, they’d be in right now. Also, conference championship games should matter and these mega-conferences did this to themselves chasing money.

Really interested in seeing what Alonza Barnett III decides to do next season. Whether he transfers from JMU or decides to stay, he is a very intriguing prospect for the 2027 draft. Dual-threat talent who could wind up on an NFL roster.

New edge rusher chart!
I've adjusted this to show double team rate + chip rate (at edge) on x axis. A little messy because we're mixing data sources (possible overlap) but I think important to get chips in there.
Y axis is pass rush win rate at edge.

Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux said the Denver Broncos created a blueprint for the Eagles’ run game Sunday.
“They had some copycat plays. They did some stuff that we saw from the team that just played us, so they were able to take advantage of some of our weak points.”

Feels like we will be getting a pool report on that Otton catch & review process. Also, where is the Hawk-Eye technology that was used earlier in the season to show the yardage needed for a first down? Haven't really seen it used that much on broadcasts. That play feels like a good spot to use it.
