I hope Clemson can find a guy to lead the way Boulware did. Also I wonder who the coach is on the staff now to contrast CDS and his coaching style.

Change my mind....

From Yahoo! Sports' Sam Cooper this afternoon:

Last season, the 12-team College Football Playoff would have looked like this based on the final rankings from the selection committee:

1. Georgia (SEC champion)
2. Michigan (Big Ten champion)
3. Clemson (ACC champion)
4. Utah (Pac-12 champion)
5. TCU (at-large)
6. Ohio State (at-large)
7. Alabama (at-large)
8. Tennessee (at-large)
9. Kansas State (Big 12 champion)
10. USC (at-large)
11. Penn State (at-large)
12. Tulane (highest-ranked Group of Five conference champion)

Based on that seeding, the first-round matchups would have been: No. 12 Tulane at No. 5 TCU, No. 11 Penn State at No. 6 Ohio State, No. 10 USC at No. 7 Alabama and No. 9 Kansas State at No. 8 Tennessee.

In the quarterfinals, No. 1 Georgia would have faced the Kansas State vs. Tennessee winner in the Sugar Bowl. No. 2 Michigan would have faced the USC-Alabama winner in the Rose Bowl. No. 3 Clemson would have faced the Penn State vs. Ohio State winner in the Peach Bowl. No. 4 Utah would have faced the Tulane-TCU winner in the Fiesta Bowl.

Some key details about the 12-team College Football Playoff were unveiled on Tuesday.

The CFP announced the schedule and bowl game assignments for the first two installments of the expanded format, which is going from four teams to 12 beginning with the 2024 season.

As a reminder, the 12-team playoff will consist of the six highest-ranked conference champions and the six highest-ranked at-large teams as chosen by the CFP selection committee. The top four conference champions will be seeded Nos. 1 through 4 and receive first-round byes. The remaining teams will play first-round games on the campus of the better seeds.

In 2024, those first-round games will take place on Friday, Dec. 20 and Saturday, Dec. 21. One game will be played on Friday night with the other three taking place on Saturday — one in the early afternoon, one in the late afternoon and another in the evening.

Moving ahead, the quarterfinals will be played at bowl sites on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. The Fiesta Bowl will be played at night on New Year’s Eve (a Tuesday) with the Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl all being played on New Year’s Day (Wednesday).

From there, the semifinals will be played at the Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025 and Friday, Jan. 10, 2025. The CFP title game will then be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Monday, Jan. 20.



Sports Illustrated reported last week that the two semifinals are slated for weeknights to avoid conflicting with the NFL’s wild card weekend, which begins Saturday, Jan. 11. The first-round CFP games will have some overlap with the NFL, which always has regular-game games on Saturdays over the final weeks of the regular season.

For the 2025 season, the scheduling layout is the same but the bowl assignments are different.

The first-round games on campus will be held on Friday, Dec. 19 and Saturday, Dec. 20 with one game on Friday night and the other three on Saturday. The first quarterfinal game, the Cotton Bowl, will be held on New Year’s Eve before the other three quarterfinals — the Orange Bowl (early afternoon), Rose Bowl (late afternoon) and Sugar Bowl (evening) — are played on New Year’s Day.

The semifinals for the 2025 season will be the Fiesta Bowl (Thursday, Jan. 8) and the Peach Bowl (Friday, Jan. 9) before the national championship at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Monday, Jan. 19.

Exact kickoff times will come at a later date, the CFP said. The broadcast arrangements for the 2024 and 2025 CFP have not been finalized yet either, though ESPN owns the rights for the final two years of the CFP contract.

Adjustments to 12-team CFP likely coming in 2026​

The original 12-year contract between the College Football Playoff and ESPN runs through the 2025-26 season. That deal also included the “New Year’s Six” bowl games, meaning those bowls had to be included in the first iteration of the 12-team playoff.

The entire format of the CFP could look different after these first two years. That could mean a lot of things, including additional television partners or moving the quarterfinal games to on-campus sites.

There also could be an overall adjustment of the college football schedule — starting the season with what’s now known as Week 0 — so the CFP won’t run so deep into January.

In today's edition of "Rock and Roll Is Dead", Sheryl Crow, Kate Bush, and George Michael were just voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Iron Maiden was not (on, I believe, their fifth try).
A Tribe Called Quest was not.
Joy Division/New Order was not.

The White Stripes was not.
Warren Fvcking Zevon was not.

I don't know why I let these votes drive me nuts ever year but here we are again.

Transfer exodus at Colorado unprecedented in portal era​

By: AP

Deion Sanders arrived at Colorado in December with much fanfare and a blunt message to Buffaloes players who had just endured a 1-11 season under the previous coaching regime.

Be ready to transfer, the new head coach told them in his first team meeting.

“We got a few positions already taken care of because I’m bringing my own luggage with me,” Sanders said. “And it’s Louis, OK.”

Does Louis Vuitton sell in bulk?

Colorado has had a total of 52 scholarship players enter the transfer portal in the five months since the Pro Football Hall of Famer was hired away from Jackson State. The pace picked up rapidly last month.

The spring transfer period in college football closed with 43 scholarship players — the equivalent of half a roster — from Sanders’ program having entered the portal since more than 40,000 fans showed up at Folsom Field in Boulder for Colorado’s spring game on April 15.

It is unprecedented turnover in this new era of loosened transfer rules, and almost double that total of the next largest number of players entering the portal among the 11 Power Five programs with a new head coach.

Arizona State is next with 27 scholarships players entering the portal since coach Kenny Dillingham was hired Nov. 27. The Sun Devils had 11 players jump in the portal during the spring window, which ran from April 15-30.

Nebraska has had 23 scholarship players enter the portal since Matt Rhule was hired the day after Thanksgiving.

At the other end, Stanford had 13 players, all graduates, go into the portal after former coach David Shaw resigned, but only three more have entered since coach Troy Taylor was hired Dec. 10.

“There is a strong climate of people come in to try to push as many guys as they can out,” Taylor said. “I did not do that at Sacramento State. I didn’t even attempt to do it here at Stanford. We take what we got, we make it better.”

The deadline for undergraduate players to notify their schools they intend to transfer and be eligible next season passed, but new names were still trickling into the portal as paperwork was being processed.

Players still have time before next season to find a new school, though most teams – other than Colorado – don’t have many available spots. Graduate students can enter the portal after the window closes and be immediately eligible next season.

Transfers in major college football have skyrocketed since the NCAA two years ago removed its rule mandating undergraduates sit out a season after switching schools. A one-time exception for immediate eligibility had been available to athletes in other sports, but not high-profile ones such as basketball, baseball and football.

The names of 2,090 Football Bowl Subdivision football players were in the portal, according to the NCAA. The number of FBS players who have entered the portal during the 2022-23 academic year and found a new school is 1,055.

At Colorado, nine scholarship players went into the portal between when Sanders was hired and the start of the spring transfer period.

“I didn’t kick ’em out; they walked out,” Sanders told reporters after the spring game. But he made clear the next wave of players heading into the portal would include some being pushed out of the program.

“We’ve got to make some decisions,” Sanders said. “That’s going to be on me now.”

As the NCAA defends itself against a federal lawsuit and actions by the National Labor Relations Board seek to give college athletes employee status, Sanders’ roster flip has given fresh ammunition to those trying to dismantle the collegiate amateurism model.

“Sanders is in the process of firing half his team, kicking them off their scholarships because they aren’t performing. That’s employment,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) tweeted.

NCAA rules require schools to honor a scholarship if an athlete is essentially cut from the team by a new coach but chooses to remain with the school. That scholarship, however, does not count against the team’s limit of 85 in the FBS.

Southern California used that rule as part of its roster overhaul after Lincoln Riley was hired in November 2021. USC had 23 scholarship players hit the portal from the day after Riley was hired through early June 2022. USC began last season with 38 new players, including 20 from the portal.

NCAA limits on the number of new players a school can sign in a calendar year were also changed last year so coaches can replace players transferring out.

By the time Sanders is done, he could have more than 70 new players on the roster. According to 247 Sports, Colorado already has 35 portal transfers signed or committed to go with a signing class of 20 high school recruits and junior college transfers.

Former Florida State defensive back Omarion Cooper, a former four-star recruit who has played sparingly in two seasons with the Seminoles, was among the latest to jump on board.

“Let’s make history,” Cooper tweeted.

When it comes to college football roster makeovers, Sanders and Colorado already have.

Thank you, friends.

From Rivals.com national recruiting director Adam Gorney this morning:

**** Some new arrivals (Clemson apparel/gear) at The Tiger Fan Shop HERE!

Produced 9 NFL picks in this years draft.

The state of Georgia was 3rd, with 23, Florida was 1st with 36, Texas was 2nd with 30.

If Gwinnett was it's own state, it would've been tied with Louisiana for 8th place with its number of draft picks.

Thats crazy.

Those bugs are in your future libs.

Globalist social engineering took another step forward in New York City as Mayor Eric Adams (D) rolled out his new emissions goal that led one expert to conclude, “They’re coming for your food.”

(Video: Fox News)
Often boasting of his own “plant-based centered life,” Adams has continued to champion his lifestyle choices as the path forward for residents of the Big Apple. Last week, that included his announcement with the NYC Department of Environmental Protection that the city would be aiming to cut food-based emissions by 33 percent by the year 2030 by keeping a greenhouse gas inventory.

Joining “Fox News Tonight,” Marc Morano, author of “The Great Reset: Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown” outlined the slippery slope such an endeavor was careening down.
“First they came for your energy. Then they came for your gas-powered cars, your freedom of movement, your cheap flights,” he contended. “Now they’re coming for your food.”
Adams’ commitment, which saw him partnering with mayors from cities around the world, set forth a goal of “reducing the city’s food-based emissions at agencies by 33 percent by 2030 and challenging our private sector partners to join us by cutting their food emissions by 25 percent in the same time period.”
The seeds of this had already been planted when Hizzoner had made plant-based meals the primary option at schools and hospitals despite being cornered on his own departures from meatless options. He asserted, “We already know that a plant-powered diet is better for your physical and mental health, and I am living proof of that. But the reality is that thanks to this new inventory, we’re finding out it is better for the planet.”

“They will be monitoring what you eat,” Morano told host Brian Kilmeade of the planned inventory that aligned with the ideals of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) scoring. “What’s coming next are the restrictions. We are already seeing it globally with a net-zero commitment. They’re going after high-yield agriculture trying to collapse them. We saw the disaster in Sri Lanka. You also have Bill Gates…America’s number one single farmland owner and his goal is to get us to eat his billions of dollars invested in lab-grown synthetic beef made from the stem cells of animals and literally put in a steel vat and printed on a 3D printer. Not making that up. The fix is in.”
As previously reported, Sri Lanka had been thrown into turmoil leading to mobs overtaking the presidential palace last July when inflation had hit a record 54.6 percent. Insistence on using environmentally-friendly organic farming practices through the banning of chemical fertilizers had cut the country’s production by half during a period of supply chain disruption. The resulting food shortages compounded economic turmoil leading to the unrest.

“This is crazy. What this is is a revolution of the powers that be,” Morano continued as elitists dictate how the rest of society should live. “They’re always looking for reasons why the rest of us can’t be free. So now they’re going after rice production — there’s a big story in major media about rice causing all this global warming and emissions — they’re going after the meat — it’s a way to make everything a problem in a climate of urgency. So therefore, they have to be in charge of all this food. They’re not really gonna try to ban it, but they wanna take over the means of production so that the rest of us don’t destroy the Earth.”
“We have to be managed,” he asserted the position was. “And that’s what we’re looking at.”
“This will only happen if we allow it. They’re going after our modern diet. You will eat nothing and be happy according to this plan,” Morano noted.

Helluva streak. TBH I didn’t think we’d make it. It’s been a miserable year, but maybe they can relax and play well in the NCAA Regional!

Before long we'll be upon the 2024 NFL Draft. And it seems like the Arizona Cardinals will be on the clock to start it.

The Cardinals have their own pick in the draft and also acquired the Houston Texans' 2024 first-round pick in a draft day trade. The Cardinals and Texans are projected to be perhaps the two worst teams in the NFL this season. A lot can happen over a season, but it's reasonable to think that the Cardinals will have the first overall pick. They might get the second pick too.

Who will the Cardinals and other teams in the top 10 be looking at? Here's a look at a preliminary list of the top-10 prospects for the 2024 NFL Draft:

1. USC QB Caleb Williams​

We see plenty of quarterbacks get hyped up as a Trevor Lawrence/Andrew Luck-level prospect before their final college season, then get picked apart a bit. The same could happen to Williams, but the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner looks like a special prospect. He is already getting Patrick Mahomes comparisons. We'll see what happens over the next season, but Williams is the obvious favorite to be the first pick in next year's draft.

2. Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr.​

Harrison is looking like one of the best receiver prospects in recent history. He has it all, including some famous bloodlines. Harrison had 1,263 yards and 14 touchdowns last season with an endless highlight reel. He could end up being the best prospect in the draft, though it's a good bet that a quarterback or two will be drafted ahead of him.

3. North Carolina QB Drake Maye​

Maye was a revelation last season as a redshirt freshman. He was the ACC player of the year and emerged as an exciting NFL prospect. The same warnings apply to Maye: Quarterbacks seem to get picked apart more than any other players their final season before the draft. But it's also possible that Maye continues to rise and presents a challenge to Williams as the QB1 in the class.

4. Notre Dame OT Joe Alt​

If the last name rings a bell, it's because Joe's father John Alt was a first-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 1984 and made two Pro Bowls at tackle. Joe Alt has great size and durability. He had the highest overall grade for any college football tackle by Pro Football Focus last season, the highest run-blocking grade and did not allow a sack in 406 pass blocking snaps.

5. Penn State OT Olu Fashanu​

It was a big surprise when Fashanu passed on entering the NFL Draft to return for another season at Penn State. He would have been one of the first offensive linemen off the board in this year's draft. Next year, Fashanu will be a prize for teams looking for a foundational left tackle. He'll compete with Alt to be the OL1.

6. Georgia TE Brock Bowers​

You won't see many tight ends drafted in the top 10, but Bowers is exceptional. He was a big part of Georgia's back-to-back national championship teams. Bowers has 1,824 receiving yards and 20 receiving touchdowns through his first two seasons, and also has four rushing touchdowns. That includes a 75-yard touchdown run on a jet sweep. This is a unique talent at the position, and he'll be drafted high.

7. Florida State DE Jared Verse​

Verse started his college career at Albany, was dominant there, transferred to Florida State and had 17 tackles for loss including nine sacks last season. His pass-rush ability will get a lot of attention over the next year.

8. Alabama OLB Dallas Turner​

Turner is probably the next Crimson Tide defender to be a high pick in the NFL draft. He saw time on the Alabama defense as a freshman and had 8.5 sacks. He didn't put up huge numbers as a sophomore (four sacks) but he'll have a chance to shine this season.

9. Ohio State DE J.T. Tuimoloau​

Tuimoloau showed his potential against Penn State last season. He had two sacks, two interceptions (one of which he returned for a touchdown), a forced fumble and fumble recovery. He was ranked by Rivals as the No. 7 overall in the 2021 recruiting class, the highest-rated defensive prospect to sign with Ohio State since 2000. He should continue to grow.

10. Alabama CB Kool-Aid McKinstry​

Given first name: Ga'Quincy. McKinstry was a starter by the end of his freshman season at Alabama, which is no small feat. He was all-SEC first team by coaches and media and got a few All-America nods as well. In addition to being an excellent cornerback, McKinstry averaged 15.8 yards on punt returns last season.
