i tell you what though, that last pass was probably 10cm from a Miami win

Impressive turnaround from Indiana.
2 years ago were a basketcase and now this season go undefeated.

Fun game too. NCAA serves up excellent offense. Great to see new faces at the table - shows the playoff structure works, and that the old seedings were a bunch of Fern-level geniuses stuffed in a room picking the big names. I mean, like the All Blacks selections of 24/25

The media usually talks up the SEC teams, but that is three wins in a row by different Big Ten teams.
Nick Saban (ex Alabama HC) made a smart ass comment to-day about the apparent college football power shifting from the SEC to the Big Ten.
He said something along the lines of . . .
"The only reason a player would want to move from the south to the north is for money."
Maybe an element of truth in what he saidCollege football players can earn quite good money now, and the Big Ten colleges have access to huge amounts of finance. Some in the south do as well.
The Big Ten just knocked back a huge $2.5 billion silverlake type investment; dealing with a similar sort disputation that NZ rugby went thru.
All colleges had to agree to it, Michigan didn't like it, for the same reasons a lot in NZ didn't like the silverlake deal, and nixed it.
But the money guys will be back sometime. -

Fuck . . . its opened up very nicely for the Pats too
I thought we'd seen the last of those fluffybunnies for at least a decadeThey'll need a miracle. But in one game that's possible.
7th easiest schedule in the superbowl era (from memory)
then they got Herbert with a horror O-line, and then Stroud throwing 4-5 turnovers. Now thye get Denver with Stidham.
Two outcomes on Monday (new anniversary day tradition - 2 meaningful NFL games!) - either Payton is a master coach or Patriots stumble into a superbowl.
Broncos have done it with a shit QB before, but defences respected even a diminished Peyton. They won't respect Stidham - it could get ugly out there.
IT's a real pity as this has been an insanely good season for a neutral fan.

Maybe an element of truth in what he saidwelcome to the new NCAA. Money talks. I think it'll be good longer term - prevent talent aggregation the way we've seen in the old Alabama days

He forgot to say of course that the schools in the SEC also have a shitload of money to pay players
