Can't be a terrible person if you don't also make the playoff.

AAANNNDD… he got arrested. Holy poop.

What a saga. Feel bad for the players. And apparently LSU didn't learn anything from Brian Kelly.

This is probably old news for everyone here, but I had no idea this change happened. I really hate this. I think conference championships should be rewarded heavily. What do y'all think? (Also I think they should reseed like the NFL does. But that's a different matter.)

The CFP Management Committee has voted to modify the 2025-2026 season so that the five highest-ranked conference champions are guaranteed access and changed seeding to match final selection committee ranking.

Go team, beat rival!

We're almost done with the regular season, these last few ballots really count. Vote Here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8NFsNvzr51rjxe5WE_WRWbrhkAMrX6pWjex1dacaiplQSsQ/viewform?fbzx=39910275387990179

This week @olmecSSB@retrolemmy.com closes the gap with 1st and gets themselves right in the thick of it. @olmecSSB@retrolemmy.com did this by claiming 5 correct picks, just ahead of the pack with a massive tie for 2nd with 4 correct picks. This week is rivalry week, and that means anything could happen!

This week for Rivalry Week I... well you'll see. Good luck.

Another week, another @WVbrU@lemmy.world win. This time coming in with 5 correct wins, incorrectly picking the USF - Navy and Deleware - Sam Houston matchups. This happens to bump me up to 3rd! This is our last regular pick 'em of the season. We'll have some extra fun for rivalry week, championship week and bowl season!

A state trooper who made contact with South Carolina players Nyck Harbor and Oscar Adaway III during Saturday's SEC showdown with Texas A&M in College Station was relieved of his game-day duties and sent home, the university's police department said.

"The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is aware of the incident that occurred today during the Texas A&M football game," the DPS said in a statement. "The DPS Trooper involved was sent home from the game. Our Office of Inspector General (OIG) is also aware of the incident and will be further looking into the matter. No additional information will be released at this time."

Sorry for the typo last week, I think? we figured out how to rise above my stupidity, but I'll double check going forward to try and avoid that happening again. This week our winner is again @WVbrU@lemmy.world correctly guessing 5 out of 7 games, missing both the Texas Tech and Clemson wins.
