UPDATE: Most of you are excited for this game, but Ii see it as my personal Hell. Ohio State and Heisman co-favorite C. J. Stroud are welcoming Notre Dame to the Horseshoe.

Ohio State beat Notre Dame, 21-10.

And so it begins. Who's in as the first College Football Playoff rankings of 2022 are set to be revealed? Updates to come.
UPDATE: I demand a recount! Tennessee, Ohio State, Georgia and Clemson topped the first College Football Playoff rankings of 2022. Michigan is fifth and Alabama is sixth.
-
I never thought I would see a poll where Alabama is underrated. I'd put them ahead of Michigan for tougher strength of schedule alone.
Tennessee is a real surprise this year. Who would've guessed the Vols would be back?
-
So much for this being the Game of the Century. No. 3 Georgia upset No. 1 Tennessee, 27-13, as the Bulldogs sacked the Volunteers' Hendon Hooker six times.
-
That was an ass whooping if I've ever seen one. Notre Dame shined in all facets in a 35-14 upset of No. 4 Clemson, earning their first win over a Top 10 team since 2020.
-
What a thriller tonight in Baton Rouge! No. 10 LSU upset No. 6 Alabama, 32-31, in overtime on a gutsy two-point conversion.

UPDATE: Yep, this feels right to me. Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and TCU topped the second College Football Playoff rankings of 2022. Tennessee is fifth and Oregon sixth.
-
Only Georgia in that top 5 looks like the real deal. Not impressed with Mich or OSU.
LSU should be ranked higher.
-

Agreed. I think it comes down to OSU and Georgia. Everything is set for a GA repeat after Bama and Tennessee sunk.
-
Things got messy this weekend, so let's see how the writers viewed the action. The new AP poll is here after eight Top 25 teams lost on Saturday.
1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. Michigan
4. TCU
5. Tennessee

This is going to be heartbreaking to type out. The university president confirmed three Virginia football players as those who were killed in a campus shooting. The suspect is in custody.
-
Where are things going to stand after a weekend of chaos? The third College Football Playoff rankings of 2022 are going to be revealed. Updates to come.
UPDATE: I think these are accurate rankings. Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and TCU topped the third College Football Playoff rankings of 2022. Tennessee is fifth and LSU sixth.
-
What a thriller today in Waco! No. 4 TCU scrambled to kick the game-winning field goal as time expired in a wild finish to stay unbeaten with an exciting 29-28 win on the road against Baylor.
-
Rocky Top just got Rock Bottomed. Spencer Rattler threw for a career-high six touchdowns and 438 yards in South Carolina's huge 63-38 upset of No. 5 Tennessee.
-
With Rivalry Week looming, it's time to see who is where. The new AP poll is out and USC moved up two spots to No. 5 for their first Top 5 appearance since 2017 and Tennessee tumbled four spots to No. 9.
-
Everything is set for either USC or TCU to sneak into the playoff, if they win next week.
Regardless what happens in early December, I am proud of LSU this year. In a rebuild year that started off with a shaky loss and despite them getting blown out by Tennessee earlier, they really stepped up and had some impressive wins. The 17 point comeback vs Auburn was the highlight of the year until the big win vs Alabama. I am still feeling high from that win! Stuff like that is what makes CFB so fun, when you get bragging rights over beating a team like Bama.
If they can hang with Georgia and make that game close and considering all other things go right, I think they'd deserve a spot in the playoff.
-
It's time to take another look at the ranking before all of these weekend's big showdowns. The latest 2022 College Football Playoff rankings are being revealed right now. Updates to come.
UPDATE: As if I needed to be more excited to go to Columbus on Saturday. Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and TCU topped the fourth College Football Playoff rankings of 2022. LSU is fifth and USC sixth.
-
I was wondering when a decision on this would come. Seven Michigan State football players were charged, with one facing a felony charge, for an assault in the tunnel after the Michigan game.
-
I'm back from Columbus and I couldn't have been happier with how things went. No. 3 Michigan left no doubt as J. J. McCarthy accounted for four touchdowns as the Wolverines upset No. 2 Ohio State, 45-23, to clinch the Big Ten East. The Wolverines will play Purdue in the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 3 in Indianapolis.
-
Michigan winning is good that I now don't have to hear about how my NFL team should hire Jim Harbaugh. He won't be leaving there now, at least I hope.
-
It's time to make sense of a week of madness. The new AP poll is here and after four Top 19 teams went down in rivalry week, let's see how things have changed.
1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. TCU
4. USC
5. Ohio State
6. Alabama
7. Tennessee
8. Penn State
9. Washington
10. Clemson
11. LSU
12. Utah
13. Kansas State
14. Florida State
15. Oregon
16. Oregon State
17. UCLA
18. Tulane
19. Notre Dame
20. South Carolina
21. Texas
22. UCF
23. UTSA
24. North Carolina
25. Mississippi State
-
I know most of the focus is on the impact on the Tigers, but I can't imagine how this affect the Flames given next year's conference change. According to Chris Low, Liberty head coach Hugh Freeze agreed to a deal to take the same position at Auburn.
-
With time running out on the season, it's time to see who's in. The new College Football Playoff rankings are set to be revealed right now. Updates to come.
UPDATE: I think the first two are a given, but the last two will clearly be decided this weekend. Georgia, Michigan, TCU and USC topped the penultimate College Football Playoff rankings of 2022. Ohio State is fifth and Alabama sixth.
-
I'm taking Georgia to win it all now.
It's a shame for Alabama they had those 2 last minute losses, cause this is is one of those years they could've sneaked in and stole it. They are the only SEC team who has beaten Georgia in the last two years and matched up well with them. But they have more than enough championships in the past decade that it's hard to feel sorry for them for choking to Tennessee and LSU.
I have zero faith in the other 3 teams left. I think whoever wins the other playoff round is going to get slaughtered by Georgia.
-
Get ready for a 12-team playoff! According to Pete Thamel, the Rose Bowl signed an agreement that will allow the College Football Playoff to expand to 12 teams in 2024 and 2025.
-
Love the expansion of the playoff. Every year some team gets left out that people argue over. This will add more importance to the top 25 ranking system.
-
This is golng to make a lot of people happy in both the Beehive and Buckeye States. No. 11 Utah upset No. 4 USC, 47-24, to win the Pac-12 championship behind Cameron Rising's 310-passing yard and three-touchdown performance.
-
It's one of the biggest Saturdays of the year. Championship Saturday is starting off with No. 10 Kansas State playing No. 3 TCU. The Horned Frogs can secure a College Football Playoff spot with a win. No. 22 UCF will play No. 18 Tulane at 4 p.m. No. 9 Clemson will play No. 23 North Carolina at 8 p.m. Updates to come.
UPDATE: Strap in because this game is getting wild. TCU forced overtime as the Horned Frogs rallied from 11 points down in the fourth quarter of the Big 12 title game.
UPDATE 2: What a thriller today in Arlington! Kansas State upset TCU as the Wildcats stopped the Horned Frogs on fourth down at the one-yard line and kicked the winning field goal to capture the Big 12 title, 31-28, in overime.
Tulane beat UCF, 45-28.
Clemson beat North Carolina, 39-10.
-
Boulder is going Primetime! Colorado hired former Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders to the same position.
-
It all comes down to right now. We are seeing who’s in as the College Football Playoff committee is unveiling the Top 4 teams and the final rankings. Updates to come.

This may not be the quartet I would have gone with, but I'm not a voter, so it doesn't matter what I think. Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett, TCU quarterback Max Duggan, Ohio State quarterback C. J. Stroud and USC quarterback Caleb Williams were named the finalists for the 2022 Heisman Trophy.
-
Somebody is about to walk out of New York with one of the biggest prizes in American sports. The Heisman Trophy ceremony is on now. Who will take home college football's highest individual honor? Updates to come.
UPDATE: Fight on! USC quarterback Caleb Williams won the Heisman Trophy. Williams is the first Trojan to win the award since Reggie Bush in 2005.

RIP Mike Leach, he passed at 61 (https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/13/sport/mike-leach-death-mississippi-state-spt-intl/index.html).

RIP Mike Leach, he passed at 61 (https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/13/sport/mike-leach-death-mississippi-state-spt-intl/index.html).
College football won't be the same without Leach. In spite of his larger than life personality, he changed the way the game was played and brought success wherever he went, whether it was in Lubbock, Pullman or Starkville. Rest well, Mike.

I am so ready for this game! No. 3 TCU is playing No. 2 Michigan in the in the Fiesta Bowl. Updates to come.
UPDATE: I am ready for a wild finish. We have College Football Playoff semifinal fireworks. Michigan has the ball trailing TCU, 41-30, at the start of the fourth after the teams combined for 44 points in the third.
UPDATE 2: I am ready for some magic. Michigan has a chance to come with the ball trailing, 51-45, with 52 seconds left and a berth in the College Football Playoff title game at stake.
UPDATE 3: As a Wolverines fan, I have nothing to complain about from this season, though I wish it had a happier ending. TCU upset Michigan, 51-45, in the highest-scoring Fiesta Bowl ever to reach the College Football Playoff National Championship on Jan. 9, 2023, in Inglewood, Calif.
UPDATE 4: Now it is time to see who else makes the trip out west. No. 4 Ohio State is playing No. 1 Georgia in the Peach Bowl.

-
I feel your pain on Michigan really wanted them to win however Ohio state went down in flames so they can't grab chip either and you can rub it in their noses next year
-
Great games yesterday. Georgia-OSU was a clinic of pro offenses where both QBs looked great at times.
TCU was beating the brakes off Michigan, but that team refused to give up. On the last drive, I have no idea why Harbaugh let the clock run down to 1:30. They had a bit over 3 minutes left when TCU got the ball, and he just let the clock run. The ESPN broadcast even cut to his father in the stands looking like he was saying 'Jim what are you doing?'. That pretty much lost the game for Michigan right there. He let them run the clock to 59 seconds by the time they punted.
Harbaugh is 0-6 in bowl games, yet we'll spend the summer hearing about how he should coach your favorite team in the NFL.
-
Could that finish have been any wilder? No. 16 Tulane overcame a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit on Alex Bauman's touchdown catch with nine seconds left in an incredible finish to upset No. 10 USC, 46-45.

Rumor flying Harbaugh could take Dallas job if Peyton turns Jerry down after McCarthy shown the door with early playoff exit
Kind of want this to happen just to see the disaster continue and troll Dallas fans

Sean Payton to Dallas rumors have been going on for 10 years. I think it's true that in 2019, the Saints almost traded him there. But now, I don't know.
Another report says the Saints only want a single first round draft pick to trade Payton. If that's true, they are greatly underselling themselves. They could rob a team blind for him. Look at the haul Seattle got for trading Russell Wilson last off season.
With that said, I don't see Harbaugh in Dallas. He almost went to Minnesota this past off season but the deal fell apart when the Vikings refused to give him GM privileges. Where ever he goes, he's going to want to run the draft. I'm guessing the Vikings management saw how horrible his drafts were in SF and told him no.
There were strong rumors of Payton going to the Chargers until last week when they clinched a playoff spot. I think it will be some random unknown team no one is expecting ends up throwing everything at getting Payton.
-
If Dallas coach goes his replacement will be a clone of someone who won't stand up to Jerry just take the money, be quiet, and take the heat for all the bad plays you find that guy in the coaching pool and there's your answer
-
Michigan under investigation for NCAA violations. This tweet I saw gets into the details of why (https://twitter.com/UnnecRoughness/status/1611424802920620034).
I am not a fan of Harbaugh by any means, but this is ridiculous. He took a recruit out for lunch and bought him a meal, big deal!!! He didn't hand him the keys to a luxury car or gift him anything like that.
Michigan fans have every right to be pissed off.

Now's the time to put up or shut up. No. 3 TCU is playing No. 1 Georgia. The Bulldogs are seeking their second straight title. The Horned Frogs' last title was in 1938. Updates to come.
UPDATE: If you took the over, prepare to cash out soon. Georgia is up, 38-7, at the half as the Bulldogs raced out to the second-largest halftime lead in national championship history against TCU.
UPDATE 2: Somebody play “Glory, Glory”! Georgia won back-to-back College Football Playoff titles with a 65-7 rout of TCU. That was the most points and the largest margin of victory in the championship game era.

That was a massacre.
The expanded playoff cannot come sooner. It will hopefully prevent a horrible mismatch like that.

Now comes the question who wants to go pro with so many bad or cheap teams at top of draft

I had been saying this going back to November, this was Georgia's year. You could not ask for a better path to the championship than this year. Those kind of years come rare for teams, but it happens.
Before the playoffs; they went through the gauntlet known as the SEC and not only went undefeated, but managed to avoid the only team in the country who has beaten them in the past two years. They had LSU to thank for taking out Alabama. Then they managed to avoid Bama a second time by the committee choosing OSU over them in the final 4.
You can argue they got lucky vs OSU with the missed field goal at the end. OSU played an inspired game and should've won. But outside of them and Alabama, there was not another team in the country who would've stood a chance against that juggernaut. During the season, they completely thrashed Tennessee before they melted down and we all saw what they did to LSU after they prevented Bama from meeting them in the SEC title game. TCU was just happy to be there, they had no chance at all.
Credit to them and congrats. Can't wait for next year. Who will be the team to last through the SEC gauntlet next year? I always argue that you can never count Bama out until they're officially out, but maybe LSU can build off a decent year? At least I can hope!
