Athlons preview like 15 or so years ago had 25 reasons why college football was better than the NFL, and I think like 20 of them no longer apply.

Nebraska remains the last undefeated back to back national champion.

I’ve never seen a player turnaround in 1 year like Joe Burrow. He was OK in 2018. Not bad. Not great. He was NOTHING like this. Never seen someone get that much better in a single year.

well, we made it through that..... and, though i figure most here didn't notice- but there are almost 16k people on the page right now.. well, i bet there are like 50 PEOPLE, and almost 15.95k robots... and the page held up.  damn- last time we were hit like that the page crawled.  

glad i didn't drop that money i was talking about five or so pages back.... i'd be pissed right now if i had.

Ed Orgeron has to be seen to be believed. This dude is like a WWE/Adam Sandler movie character. Reminds me of the assistant coach in Waterboy.

guy was a perfect balance of recklessness and skill.  a LOT of the passes he's thrown this season should never have found their mark.  he's truly got an NFL ready arm- hitting tiny windows before they open... as in 'anticipating' the window. 

risky, but with an arm and some vision- you get what we saw this season... not exactly this game, but this season.

I was thinking damn, it's getting late, here in AZ.  Definitely don't miss staying up after midnight for these types of games.  No reason they don't start 7pm EST or so.

This LSU team might be the best ever.  Not a great defense, but good enough.  Basically an all-time offense.

Has it been confirmed that Coach O is actually human, and not a neatly shaved bear in a headset?
