The transfer portal is killing the importance of high school recruiting

Good, that shyt is predatory as fukk on kids who are way too young to make long-term decisions with no opportunity to reconsider. What's this bullshyt, "If a coach doesn't use you right or give you an opportunity for your future, you can't leave unless you forfeit an entire year of your career."

Other kids choose a college and then transfer to a different school whenever they want, athletes should have the same freedom.

That Stanford loss is the worse loss of the season too

There were weird caveats on the Stanford game (lost their OC before the game, lost their best offensive and defensive players during the game, and still would have won if not for the worst 4 consecutive penalty calls in college football this season), but the play-calling in that game was so incredibly bad it proves that Moorehead alone isn't the problem.

UTSA is Conference USA Champs. Sucks they missed out on an undefeated season, but a 12-1 season with a conference title is great for a program that started in 2011

Hopefully going to the American next year will get them more exposure and help them get higher recruits in Texas coming off this season. I like what Traylor got going so far

Also most of these kids getting lied to. These coaches be saying all kinds of shyt to get you to commit and then you sign and it’s a whole different story when you on campus

Low-key if Utah hadn't fukked up their QB situation at the beginning of the year they'd be in the playoffs, possibly even undefeated.

* First loss was a 26-17 defeat on the road at #12 BYU with Charlie Brewer going 15-26 for 147 and nothing on the ground.

* The next week they fell behind 24-10 to #19 SDSU before finally realizing Charlie Brewer wasn't shyt. (Utah's defense was fine, 14 of SDSU's points came off a punt return TD and an interception.) Charlie Rising was finally put in at QB and led Utah to three straight TDs in the 4th/overtime, only losing in triple-overtime because the field goal kicker missed the game-winning field goal and then a receiver barely bobbled the 2pt-conversion. Brewer's QBR for the game was 11.1, Rising's QBR was 81.0.

Ever since then Brewer has stayed on the bench and Rising has been on a tear, with the team averaging 40 points/game over their last 9 games.

If they had just started Charlie Rising from the beginning they definitely win both of those games, then they'd be 12-1 right now with 2 wins over Oregon and 1 win over BYU. Hell, if Rising had those 3 extra starts under his belt then maybe they don't lose that fluky game against OSU either (were up 14-0 and 17-7 but lost 42-34 after a punt block returned for a TD, a missed field goal, and two straight drives ending on failed fourth-and-goal from the 2 yard line).

@smitty22 @CrimsonTider would i be wrong if i said

Had ohio state beat oregon they would be a lock in the CFP already even losing to michigan.

Had bama beaten A&M they would be a lock to make the CFP even if they lost to UGA on saturday?
Maybe but there would have to be a lot of fukkery in that scenario.
