Start placing bets on who gets the hardware.  Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel, Colorado wide receiver Travis Hunter, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty and Miami (Fla.) quarterback Cam Ward were named finalists for the Heisman Trophy.

Perhaps the only way to replace a legend is to bring in a bigger legend.  According to Adam Schefter, Pete Thamel and Chris Low, Bill Belichick is finalizing a deal to become the next head coach at North Carolina.

Next season, you’ll see him in Nissan commercials.  Colorado wide receiver Travis Hunter won the Heisman Trophy, joining Charles Woodson as the only full-time defensive players to win.

Well, I dropped the ball with regard to posting this story, but better late than never, right?  According to The Virginian-Pilot, ex-NFL star Michael Vick is planning to take the head coaching job at Norfolk State.

The road to the title starts tonight!  The College Football Playoff is starting now with No. 10 Indiana vs. No. 7 Notre Dame.  The winner will play Georgia on Jan. 1, 2025 in New Orleans.  Updates to come.

UPDATE:  That was nowhere near as exciting as I had hoped for.  Notre Dame dominated Indiana, 27-17, for their 11th straight win.  The Fighting Irish will face Georgia in the quarterfinals.

I love a good highlight reel moment.  Bryce Lance made a must-see one-handed game-winning touchdown catch while somehow getting a foot down to send North Dakota State to the FCS final.

Do I even need to say where my allegiance is for this game?  No. 9 Tennessee is playing No. 8 Ohio State.  The winner will play Oregon on Jan. 1, 2025 in Pasadena, Calif.  There are several ways to watch this game, too.  Updates to come.

Ohio State beat Tennessee, 42-17.
