2020-21 college football news and notes

We already have the flop of the year.  A Kentucky football jokingly resuscitated Brandon Echols after he was shoved to the ground by a No. 22 NC State player.  Updates to come.

Kentucky upset NC State, 23-21.

This going to be an exciting one.  No. 25 Oregon is playing No. 10 Iowa State in the Fiesta Bowl.  The Cyclones' Breece Hall has 1,436 rushing yards to lead the FBS.  The Ducks are 2-0 in the Fiesta Bowl.  Updates to come.

Iowa State beat Oregon, 34-17.

This should be must-see TV.  No. 5 Texas A&M is playing No. 13 North Carolina in the Orange Bowl.  The Aggies have a 63 percent Football Power Index chance to win.  The Tar Heels are playing in their first BCS or New Year’s Six game.  Updates to come.

I love this night.  The Heisman Trophy ceremony is on right now.  Will the winner be Alabama quarterback Mac Jones, Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Crimson Tide wide receiver DeVonta Smith or Florida quarterback Kyle Trask?  Updates to come.

UPDATE:  Catch this!  Smith became the third wide receiver to win the Heisman Trophy and the first since Desmond Howard in 1991.

It all comes down to this.  No. 3 Ohio State is playing No. 1 Alabama in the College Foot Playoff National Championship.  Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban is seeking his record seventh title.  The Buckeyes are 10-5 as an underdog in the last decade.  Updates to come.

UPDATE:  I am beyond happy with how this game went.  Alabama captured the title in a rout over Ohio State, 52-24.  The Crimson Tide's Mac Jones had 464 passing yards and five touchdowns and Najee Harris had 158 total yards and three total touchdowns.

Just what the world needed. Another national title to Alabama.

One of the great modern college coaches is going to the pros.  The Jacksonville Jaguars hired former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer to the same position.
