I always love seeing this every Saturday and it didn't disappoint today. Lee Corso said, "Play the fight song," threw on a No. 11 Texas mascot head to reveal his pick for the Texas vs. No. 3 Alabama game with NFL legend Joe Namath by his side. Updates to come.

UPDATE 2: In the words of Keith Jackson, whoa, Nelly! Alabama leads Texas, 16-13, entering the fourth quarter in a tight battle.
UPDATE 3: Look out, SEC! Texas upset Alabama, 34-24, for their first AP Top 3 win since 2008 when they upset No. 1 Oklahoma. (The current-day No. 18 Sooners beat SMU, 28-11.)

I watched the Texas/Bama game last night and have some notes.
First off, big win for Texas. I can't remember the last time anyone went into Bryant-Denny stadium and won by 10.
With that said, the game was a lot closer than it appeared. I'm not ready to buy into Texas, cause Bama could've easily won this with better QB.
Bama is running a Smashmouth offense this year like they did in the early Saban years. They looked very much like a Big 10 team last night trying to play a ball control offense and relying on the defense to do the heavy lifting. The defense did an OK job until the 4th quarter. The game was handed to Texas on an interception returned to the redzone, and then giving up a deep ball in the end. Bama didn't respect the deep ball last night, and it came back to haunt them when their defense became gassed.
I believe even with their defensive issues in the end, Bama would've won with better QB play. It would be so like Texas to go and lose to some lesser opponent after this big win.

There's no need to throw shade at this pick. Lee Corso was joined by Dwayne Johnson as he made his milestone 400th headgear pick for No. 18 Colorado over Colorado State. Updates to come.
UPDATE: This rivalry finally got some heat again. Colorado and Colorado State players got heated and need to be separated before kickoff.
UPDATE 2: Get to a television set as soon as possible! Colorado may be in trouble as the Buffaloes trail Colorado State, 21-17, early in the fourth quarter of their rivalry game.
UPDATE 3: This game has lived up to the hype and the trash talk. Colorado rallied to tie Colorado State at 28 at the end of the regulation, sending the Rams and Buffaloes to overtime.
UPDATE 4: Whoa, let me catch my breath! Colorado was in Prime form as Shedeur Sanders tossed two clutch touchdowns in overtime as the Buffaloes avoided a massive upset with a 43-35 double-overtime win over Colorado State.
-
What's with all of these rivals going at it with one another? No. 11 Tennessee and Florida players squared up threw punches in The Swamp in the closing seconds of the game after a Gators quarterback was hit while taking a knee. The Gators upset the Volunteers, 29-16.
-
Being a Tennessee fan for life I can explain some of the rivalry with bad blood the other half is the delusional Florida fans I've been around over the years I was hoping for a win but looks like I'll have to put my stuffed gator with noose back in the closet and wait to troll Florida fans later we shall return
-

After everything I've heard about this case, good riddance! Michigan State announced it began the process of firing head coach Mel Tucker for cause.
-
I don't care how dirty the hit was, it doesn't warrant this! According to Pete Thamel, Colorado State defensive back Henry Blackburn and his family received death threats after Blackburn's illegal hit on Colorado star cornerback Travis Hunter.
-
Time to see whose headgear is being donned today. Lee Corso made Vince Vaughn and the South Bend, Ind., crowd unhappy, wearing Brutus Buckeye’s head again ahead of tonight’s No. 6 Ohio State vs. No. 9 Notre Dame game. Updates to come.
UPDATE: Honestly, I can't stand either team, so I wanted to treat this game with complete apathy, but it wound up being worth the hype. Ohio State stunned Notre Dame with a gutsy last-second touchdown for a 17-14 win.
-
It’s big game time! We have a massive battle of Pac-12 unbeatens as head coach Deion Sanders and No. 19 Colorado take on No. 10 Oregon. Updates to come.
UPDATE: Anybody wanna explain why they wanted to take the Buffaloes on the money line at 13-2? Oregon handed Sanders his first loss at Colorado with a decisive 42-6 win.
UPDATE 2: This is how you handle defeat with grace and humility. Sanders praised Oregon, admitting the loss to the Ducks was a "good old fashioned butt kicking," but noted that was the worst Colorado will be.
-

As if he couldn’t look more ridiculous. Ken Jeong and Lee Corso got into a headgear-pick dance-off and busted some moves after Corso picked No. 11 Notre Dame to beat No. 17 Duke. Updates to come.
Notre Dame beat Duke, 21-14.
-
LSU drops another one. I am beginning to wonder if Kelly will even finish out his contract if every year they are super hyped up and just disappoint like this.
-

-
This game was bonkers from start to finish! Dillon Gabriel hit a wide-open Nic Anderson in the end zone with 15 seconds left as No. 12 Oklahoma upset No. 3 Texas, 34-30.
-
I guarantee this will be on the next edition of the Not Top 10. Georgia Tech scored the winning touchdown with one second left for a 23-20 upset after No. 17 Miami (Fla.) fumbled the ball instead of taking a knee.
-

What a thriller tonight in Boulder! Stanford’s Elic Ayomsnor made the catch of the year by making an incredible touchdown grab off the back of Colorado’s Travis Hunter as the Cardinal upset the Buffaloes, 46-43, in a double overtime thriller.
-
I hate this with every fiber of my being. Jadarian Price took a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown as No. 21 Notre Dame handed No. 10 USC their first loss of the season in a 48-20 upset.
-

That is two years in a row that the Battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy has been tainted by controversy! Michigan State apologized for an Adolf Hitler image that appeared as part of a trivia question on the videoboard before their home game against No. 2 Michigan. The Spartans lost to the Wolverines, 49-0.

UPDATE: Be prepared for chaos this weekend. Georgia, Michigan, Washington and Florida State topped the fifth College Football Playoff rankings of 2023. Oregon is fifth and Ohio State sixth.
-
Last Saturday was one of the best Iron Bowls I have ever seen. Just when you thought Alabama was out of it, they came up on that 4th and goal play.
This Bama team has been so fun to watch. On paper, they should've lost to Texas A&M, Tennessee and LSU. Nick Saban has been a mad scientist all year putting on a masterclass of coaching. If they get past Georgia in the SEC title game, I'm riding this bandwagon all the way to the end.
-
How could somebody do something so cruel? A dead longhorn was found at an Oklahoma State frat house one day before the Cowboys face Texas in the Big 12 title game on Saturday in Arlington, Texas.
-
Buckle up, everybody! The Pac-12 title game is tight as No. 3 Washington has the ball trailing No. 5 Oregon, 24-20, entering the fourth quarter. Updates to come.
UPDATE: That game was worth the hype and then some! Washington outlasted Oregon in a 34-31 victory to improve to 3-0 in Pac-12 title games.
-
This changes everything! No. 8 Alabama upset No. 1 Georgia, 27-24, in the SEC title game. Only three teams have made the College Football Playoff after a conference championship loss.
-

Well, I called it. I'm not surprised Bama won. :))
Nick Saban truly is a mad scientist this year with coaching up big games against teams with much better rosters. Yesterday was a tale of coaching, as he made Kirby Smart look like Kirby Dumbass. That game shouldn't have been close either. They had 4 dropped INTs and 2 other big drops that were almost TDs. It could've easily been a 40-17 type beatdown. Even when Georgia cut it to 3, it never felt like they really had a chance. If that was a Bama team from just a few years ago, it would've been a bloodbath.
Can I take a moment to mention how much I dislike Georgia? They are 1-5 vs Alabama under Kirby Smart, whom people have hyped up as being some great coach. Their "dominance" is solely because Bama has not had stacked rosters in the past few years to compete with theirs. That one win is debatable too since they still lost to them in the SEC title game that same year.
FSU looked awful without their QB to just barely squeak by an equally bad Louisville team. How Louisville won 10 games, I'll never know. They looked terrible last night.
If it was up to me, the final four would be Michigan, Washington, Alabama and Georgia.
If Bama don't get in, but FSU does, then it's going to look awful and people will have a reason to complain over bias from the committee. That's saying a lot enough with how Michigan has went with a slap on the wrist for their cheating scandal, yet are going to be ranked #1. An SEC team is winning the Natty this year if they get in. There is not a team left that really matches up well with Bama or Georgia. It really should be them in a rematch for the title. I really hope Bama gets in, cause I can see them embarrassing whoever they get in both games. They're easily the most battle hardened team that has went through a gauntlet while the other conference winners got to play cupcakes in their championship games.
This year has proved to me beyond any reasonable doubt, Saban truly is the best coach in CFB since Bear Bryant. When he's gone, the argument is going to between him and Bryant for GOAT.

This is phenomenal group of finalists! LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels, Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr., Oregon quarterback Bo Nix and Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. were named finalists for the 2023 Heisman Trophy.
-
The man is human after all. Patriots head coach and de facto general manager Bill Belichick pulled a page out of Lee Corso’s playbook and donned some headgear to pick Navy to beat Army. Updates to come.
Army beat Navy, 17-11.
-
Somebody will have their name join the immortals tonight. The Heisman Trophy presentation is on now. Who will take home college football’s most prestigious individual honor? Updates to come.
UPDATE: Not what I expected to see, but congratulations nonetheless. LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels won the 2023 Heisman Trophy. He is the third Tiger to win the award.
-
Being denied a playoff spot can make people salty. Florida State is going to sue the ACC over the grant of rights and $130 million withdrawal fee.
-
Even I think this was unwarranted. A fight broke out after Eastern Michigan defensive back Korey Hernandez sucker punched a South Alabama player following Saturday’s bowl game.
-
I was born ready for this game! No. 4 Alabama is playing No. 1 Michigan in the College Football Playoff Semifinals at the Rose Bowl. Updates to come.
UPDATE: This has been a fun game so far. Sparked by five sacks, Michigan holds a 13-10 lead over Alabama in the College Football Playoff semis.
UPDATE 2: I am holding my breath. Michigan has the ball trailing Alabama, 20-13, with 4:41 remaining in the College Football Playoff semifinal.
UPDATE 3: This is so exciting! Michigan and Alabama are tied, 20-20, going to overtime in the College Football Playoff semi after the Wolverines’ J. J. McCarthy engineered a late drive.
UPDATE 4: Michigan won a classic and beat Alabama, 27-20, in overtime of the Rose Bowl on Blake Corum’s touchdown run. The Wolverines stuffed the Crimson Tide’s Jalen Milroe on the final play inside the four-yard line to book a spot in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Jan. 8 in Houston.
UPDATE 5: I want to know who is next. No. 3 Texas is playing No. 2 Washington in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Sugar Bowl.
UPDATE 6: This is anybody’s game. Washington will start the second half of the College Football Playoff semi with the ball tied at 21 with Texas in the Sugar Bowl.
UPDATE 7: Big Ten present, meet Big Ten future. Washington withstood a late Texas rally to win the Sugar Bowl, 37-31, and will meet Michigan in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Jan. 8 in Houston. The Longhorns nearly pulled off one of the most improbable comebacks in College Football Playoff history, but the Huskies’ defense made one last stand in a stunning Sugar Bowl finish.
-
I have waited 26 years for tonight. No. 2 Washington is playing No. 1 Michigan in the College Football Playoff National Championship. Who will finish with a perfect season? Updates to come.
UPDATE: I feel good about this. Michigan ran for 209 yards in the first half to take a 17-10 lead over Washington in the College Football Playoff National Championship.
UPDATE 2: Only 15 minutes remain before a glorious celebration. Michigan leads Washington, 20-13, entering the fourth quarter of the College Football Playoff National Championship.
UPDATE 3: I’m going to play “Hail to the Victors”, “Varsity” and (as a thank you to haters who vilified and fueled this team) “We Don’t Give a Damn”! Michigan won its first college football national championship since 1997 with a 34-13 victory over Washington.
UPDATE 4: It’s never too early to look forward to 2024. We will see where Michigan, Washington and other top programs rank in ESPN’s Way-Too-Early Top 25.
1. Georgia
2. Texas
3. Oregon
4. Alabama
5. Ohio State
6. Michigan
7. Ole Miss
8. Missouri
9. Arizona
10. Notre Dame

Thank you, Cade! I will drink (a nonalcoholic beverage) to an amazing season.
-
Congrats Tom! Great win, and great defense to effectively shut out Michael Penix Jr.

Congrats Tom! Great win, and great defense to effectively shut out Michael Penix Jr.
Thanks, John! This defense did its part all year. Even when the offense wasn’t clicking at 100 percent, it was great defense that got the job done. It’s why this year’s team reminds me so much of that great 1997 team.

Nick Saban is retiring. Did not see that coming.
I hope it's not due to health concerns. He has looked sick the last few months.
With that said, he has a right to retire. He earned it. 7 national titles, and 6 with Bama. He can hang his hat on this last season where they had no business reaching the final 4, and got there solely due to his coaching abilities. All year, Saban was like a mad scientist making things work with an average at best roster. They should've lost to A&M, Tennessee, LSU and Georgia. All of those games, he put on a masterclass of coaching to pull through.
They would've smoked Washington too, if they just stopped Michigan on those 4th down calls. I don't think you'll find another coach who managed to get his team a 7 point lead in a game where the offensive and defensive lines were dominated by the other team. Michigan had 7 sacks, and Alabama still wasn't going to quietly in the night.
End of an era, mad respect for him. He might truly be the GOAT coach.
