Tampa could not have picked a better night to host an outdoor NHL game maybe in the history of the state.

Never tell us the odds. #UCF

I want so desperately to be wrong about this. I hate myself for typing it. But I think we're staring another Patriots championship in the face and I don't know why nobody sees this.

Time for some RJ, Broncos. #UCF

Shoutout to the CBS producer playing Marky Mark going to break there after the Patriots TD.

I hope #UCF fans read this.

The SEC's "dominance" is officially over. Of the 24 CFP berths in the first two years of the 12-team bracket, 8 -- one-third -- have gone to SEC teams. Only two of those teams have reached the semis. Both lost. The ratio of opportunity to result is ridiculous. The Emperor has no clothes.

In addition to being bad, this is all pretty stupid.

Feels like this entire thread is a metaphor for the nation at the moment.

I still think that trophy kinda stinks. Bring back the crystal football.

I’m a little surprised Indiana didn’t go for that. 4 yards from a national title. Now you gotta stop Miami one more time.

If you’re the Dolphins, what do you offer the Raiders to get Mendoza and bring him home to Miami?

Prediction for tonight: Indiana by 10+. That team is the most ruthless machine I've seen since 2019 LSU. However, if Miami is going to have a chance, this scenario is as good as any. They're playing a home game. All the alums are going to be on the sideline. The atmosphere will be spectacular.

Stafford looking suspiciously like Dieter Brock since that first drive.

Dang man. This #UCF team doesn’t quit. That was a hell of an effort. There’s no team we can’t go toe-to-toe with. And the fans were incredible. 10,000. Sellout. We need that back here on the 27th because as tough as this league is, it’s TIGHT.

It's a word calculator. Garbage in, garbage out. The sooner we realize this...

Behold: The only Bearcats I recognize today.

What a day of football

*scenes*

Indiana has played 8 games this year against teams with 9 wins or more. They've beaten all of them by an average of 25 points.

This Indiana team is the best college football team we've seen since 2019 LSU. They are a daggum machine. Their O-Line is mauling people. Their execution is military-precise. We are witnessing greatness.

Said it before: The SEC is the best conference in football from a pure talent perspective, but the gap they claim over the other conferences *does not exist.* Its days of dominance are behind it, and thanks to NIL and the portal, that’s likely for good.

Feels like a bad Miami turnover or missed field goal incoming.

3,350 players (at 85 scholarships per school) means about 40 entire TEAMS are in the transfer portal. That bubble is gonna burst. Imagine if players realized that high supply *lowers* prices. www.cbssports.com/college-foot...

LFG

Indiana, Oregon, Miami, Ole Miss. God, I love it. Finally, not the same suspects in the semis. Variety is good for college football. #CFP

Bye teams cannot complain. Georgia choked, Texas Tech got undone by their biggest weakness (QB), and Ohio St. was the biggest fraud in football this year. Meanwhile Indiana, who is actually well-coached unlike the other three, won. Can't just roll the ball out there and win. Coaching matters.

When I'm named CFB commissioner, I will mandate that the National Championship happens on New Year's Day at the Rose Bowl every year. The entire college football calendar can be figured out working back from there.

A little something new today: #FAU vs. #UCF at Disney — My first time calling a game here!

Tired: Put microchips in the footballs Wired: Put frickin' laser beams on top of the field goal posts

Worth the read. Nailed it on the importance of introspection.

As I tell my students, it's a word calculator. It does NOT think. It cannot think. AI is useful for very specific tasks involving iteration and repeat calculation. It is not a replacement for human authenticity, creativity and judgement. And it never will be.

We need private equity to buy out private equity and close it down

So this little project of mine hit 10 of the 12 #CFP teams in its MOV- (without margin of victory) rankings. The two teams it had in the top 12 that didn't get spots? BYU and Notre Dame. I'm flabbergasted it did that well. cosmosrankings.com/2025/12/08/2...

Notre Dame refusing a bowl game means they will possess the lineal college football national title into next season. www.hatchrankings.com/lineal.html

Dang man they work quick around here. Top floors of the old tower are already gone. #UCF

Today's decision by the selection committee should mean the end of the weekly CFP shows. What was the point?

Three-loss Bama in over two-loss BYU. Make it make sense.

Joey Galloway absolutely spitting facts. #CFP

This is what I would prefer: 1. Indiana 2. Texas Tech 3. Georgia 4. Ohio State --- 5. Oregon 12. James Madison 6. Ole Miss 11. Tulane 7. Texas A&M 10. Miami 8. Oklahoma 9. Notre Dame

I'm still naive and think playoff and tournament berths should mean something to the teams that get them. Same for football as basketball. That matters. Tulane deserves it. JMU deserves it. It doesn't matter if they get boatraced. Getting in should be an accomplishment to be proud of.

I'm sorry but 3-loss Bama does not deserve a #CFP bid. I don't care about wins against ranked teams that are not ranked anymore. They got fragged by 5-7 FSU and are getting liquidated in all three phases right now by a team they barely beat earlier in the season.

The championship games tonight are gonna be lightyears better than the games tomorrow

Big weekend for this experiment of mine starts now. #CFB Rankings as of this instant: cosmosrankings.com

Some important dates for #UCF fans to remember: Jan. 2-16 - Football Transfer Portal window Feb. 4 - Spring Signing Period starts Players on the two teams competing in the CFP national championship game get a five-day window from Jan. 20-24.
