I don't think it's remotely hyperbolic to say Carolina is the worst current franchise in pro sports. Complete blowhard as owner making stupid decision after stupid decision. A roster totally bereft of talent. Fan support is tepid at best unless they're great. They're absolutely sunk until at least 2025 without a draft pick next year and realistically it's probably 2-3 years longer even if they hit on every decision from here, which they will not.

Looks like Elko to A&M. That sucks ass for Duke but he was always the obvious move.

I can always tell when someone hasn't seen the Panthers play yet

Any neutral observer should probably hope Louisville beats FSU next week. The Noles as currently constructed are a delicious meal for whoever plays them in the CFP.

The postgame revelation that Bama practices that 4th-and-30 situation every week is the most on-brand Nick Saban thing of all time.

The last few minutes of that game today were perhaps the B1G Westiest few minutes in the history of that division.

No, still 4. It goes to 12 next season.

To be clear, I really want to be wrong, and not just because I'm a Carolina fan. I spent half last season openly man-crushing on Bryce Young and wanted him in the draft. He was a fun as hell college player and I want him to be a fun as hell NFL player.

I still think we're probably headed for a clear 4, but if Alabama beats Georgia in Atlanta, which definitely is possible (those 2 are both playing outstanding, game feels like a coin flip to me right now), that opens the door to some interesting scenarios.

Josh Allen had four games as a rookie where he averaged more YPA than Bryce Young has in any game. He averaged more YPA his rookie year than Young has had in any game but one. Young's completion percentage is high because he doesn't throw the damn thing more than 7 yards down the field. You can learn your way to cutting down on interceptions. You can't do much of anything about being completely unable to move the ball at all.

I feel bad passing judgment on him when it's not his fault the entire franchise is a train wreck. But if he were ever going to be special - 'this justifies selling your farm to pick him #1' special - there'd be some evidence of it by now, even considering the circumstances. The last QB who started this bad who eventually became a star was...Troy Aikman? Maybe? And the NFL in 1989 was essentially a different sport than the one of 2023.

I didn't even check the Carolina score until the 4th quarter. I see Bryce Young was under 5 yards per attempt again. Three games in a row and 5 times this season. Been over 6.0 twice in 9 games.

I'm curious how high Iowa can get in the CFP rankings before Michigan beats them by 50 in Indy.

Opening night Thursday night, just to clarify.

It's been one of those stories it's a shame no one is paying attention to. David Braun has made a really good case to retain the head coach position.

Dan Lanning may well go to A&M but his team will be in the B1G next year, I think it's safe to say that will exist in a couple years.

Looking at CJ Stroud statistics every week is my Sunday self flagellation exercise.

I imagine the Heisman is down to Michael Penix and Marvin Harrison Jr. at this point. ETA - brain farted Jayden Daniels.

Texas A&M is firing Jimbo Fisher. $75M guaranteed left on that contract. Something like 3.5 times the previous biggest buyout in the history of college sports contracts.

Bama seems back to death machine mode and UGA seems to have figured things out. Maybe this season wasn't as wide open as it once appeared.

Because Michigan is, at an absolute minimum, pretty darn good and literally none of the teams they have played against are good? Seems a reasonable hypothesis

Don't confuse the issue with facts

My hot take is if someone can do this then the opponent is not a good team and shouldn't be viewed as such
