We really need to be liberated from hot takes.

If I had to pick the 5 players who, as of right now, stand the best chance of winning the Heisman, they would be, in order: 1. John Mateer, OU 2. Jayden Maiava, USC 3. Dante Moore, Oregon 4. Devon Dampier, Utah 5. Taylen Green, Arkansas

That play by Love was one of the best TD runs I’ve seen in a long time.

I can’t stand this kind of commentary. As if Ashton Jeanty was chopped liver and non deserving. Phooey.

I knew this one was going to be close. Ashton Jeanty had a real shot but fell just short.

Tried something a little different on this week's We're Not All Like This as I interviewed Jon Wilner, @skhanjr.bsky.social, and @edsbs.bsky.social about what it's like to be a Heisman Voter.

Belichick is coaching college football for one reason and one reason only: it’s no longer “college” football as much as it is NFL lite.

Modernize like putting Oklahoma in the SEC? Someone’s gotta hold down the college football tradition fort around here.

Cam Skattebo deserves an invitation to the Heisman Trophy ceremony as a finalist. Could Arizona State get a first-round bye? Takeaways from The Athletic's CFB staff on the Big 12 championship game with updates to come on the other key conference title games: bit.ly/3D5FJoX

For your Heisman consideration: Ashton Jeanty is up to 2,497 rushing yards, 30 total TDs and 7.25 yards per carry. He's 131 away from Barry Sanders' single-season official record (353 from unofficial record). 12-1, MW champ, CFP appearance, possible first-round bye, backflip

Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark expects Travis Hunter to win the Heisman and will be in New York next week. “I don’t think there’s any competition for the Heisman. I look forward to seeing him next week, shaking his hand and giving him a hug when he gets it.”

This is the era of the talented-but-not-very- good college football team.

What’s the point of accumulating a bunch of talent on offense if you can’t score?

What a great lineup of guests on this week’s show! Tyler Warren Stew Mandel Misty Copeland. Gold. youtu.be/wWbbYvJ-_eM?...

Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty has crossed the 2,000-yard mark on the season, accomplished in just 11 games. First 2,000-yard season in FBS since four players in 2019 (Chuba Hubbard, Malcolm Perry, Jonathan Taylor, JK Dobbins)

Old Man Take: Travis Hunter is the Heisman leader but we're overdoing the Heisman poses and devaluing them. Gotta keep them rare and special like Desmond Howard.

They’re just not gonna call holds anymore huh?

I hope no one who follows college football is surprised by that opening drive for Indiana.

Obviously Pacific Time. You can watch football all day and then still go out later and watch Hawaii play while you drink.

Since the start of 2020 UGA has the best record in the country at 58-6. UMass has the worst record in the country at 7-43. Today, they face off in Athens. Will the surviving members of 1916 Cumberland be toasting that their record for margin of defeat stands for another season when it's over?

Everyone’s pulling for Indiana today, right?

NEWS: Colorado's two-way star Travis Hunter confirmed Thursday he is bound for the NFL in 2025. Hunter said he intends to play on both sides of the ball at the next level. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/593...
