Florida State blown out in the most meaningless bowl game ever.
Congrats to the Georgia Bulldogs who will now get to hang the “We beat Florida State’s third team really bad in a bowl game” banner. If ever a result didn’t matter it was Saturday’s Orange Bowl. Florida State had 23 players opt out of the Orange Bowl, and that included more than 50% of their …

Quarterback Cade Klubnik and the Clemson offense has been maligned most of the year. The offense struggled, he’s struggled, the offensive line struggled, and the wide receivers struggled.

Some teams lose when the other teams are just better. Other teams lose becuase the opposing team has more talent. WHen I watch Miami I don’t see a team that’s often out-talented, or that the other team is clearly better. Miami loses becuase they have multiple fundamental breakdowns a game. Sometimes they can overcome them, …

Boston College and Jeff Hafley get much needed momentum after bowl win.
Jeff Hafley was one of the ACC coaches said I said before bowl season needed a bowl win the most. Jeff Hafley is 21-26 (12-22) in 4 seasons at Boston College. They lost their last 3 games of the year to finish 6-6 and while I think Hafley is a good coach, the results scream …

Final 3 games sours Louisville’s season and leaves lots of room for growth.
6 Weeks ago, Louisville was 10-1, and a dark horse playoff team. Then there was a disastrous 2nd half to an average Kentucky team that sent Louisville to 10-2. The Cardinals never recovered.
