Purdue was not a very good team. They were lucky to beat Tennessee.

NIL is not even close to the free market. Colleges have very little to with free markets.

I think he was the best coach over the last 15 years, but to call him the GOAT is a stretch. AL has a big money advantage over most schools and the Bear had success there too. Local recruiting competition has been limited most years too given Auburn's struggles.

He only beat Spurrier once when he was at South Carolina and lost to him once. Why do certain programs always seem to have luck with the schedule. Georgia was the same way when the previous coach was around.

Maybe the so-called GOAT should have stayed at MSU for their bowl game. He was 1-2 lifetime vs Spurrier.

Auburn. The ACC was weak this year. Utah was also undefeated in 2004.

Left the whining for the CFP begin again. College Football and politics - perfect together. GA was very lucky to beat OSU last year when AL was one of the top four teams in the country at the end of the season.

It depends on what you mean by "best." IOW, at the end of the season or over the course of a season. Bama was one of the 4 best at the end of last season.

Having a good QB does not equate to having a good team. See USC ... yesterday.

They beat Clemson the following week. Clemson later won the ACC. That was their bigger game.

Some people consider ultrasound to be a right-wing trap.

Someone name a coach who has faced tougher in state competition than Spurrier. You can't top FSU, Miami and Clemson. He also faced Tennessee when they had Peyton Manning.

I wonder how good Brian Kelly is at late-season whining. My guess is he developed this skill at ND to get them in big bowl games. There's still time for LSU this year. Remember Gators 28 National Champs 3 in 1983? UM had a major assist from Tom Osborne and UF didn't face a nonconference foe with a losing record that year.

Apparently you didn't read the article.

I used to think Meyer could be viewed as a more successful coach than Spurrier, but not anymore. Spurrier dwarfs him. He built the UF program for the long term. Meyer compromised character on many recruits. Spurrier had way more competition in-state from UM and FSU. If Saban had to deal with FSU with Bowden and Andrews every year, he doesn't have nearly the same success.

Why is no one talking about LSU's absence from the national anthem? At least the media brainwashing in this country is consistent with its 24/7/365 agenda. So predictable.

Too bad for Bama the game wasn't played in DC.

He had Nix and Tank at Auburn. The cupboard was hardly bare. CFB continues to distrance itself from the real world into political hires.

The Eagles punter played at Auburn (insert evil laugh). The kick was a low one. Toney made a nice catch and the Eagles didn't see the wall.

He landed in a very good situation. 3 good receivers (at least) and a good RB plus a very good franchise against a so-so division. I didn't watch him play much in college, but with his wheels and character, I'm not really surprised. My only question was his work ethic. Everything else would take care of itself if he had it. So many QBs end up on lousy teams with impatient fans.

Lawyers and money destroy everything. CFB is becoming a colossal bore. The rich get richer, just like in real life.

Yep, and he was trailing Saban nearly halfway through the 4th quarter of the game he did win last year. But yet, Smart owns Saban now. I remember last year, this site was saying GA couldn't compete with AL because of Stetson.

Who cares! Alabama CRUSHED KSU, who beat TCU. It's not a stretch at all.

Greatest timeout ever called? I highly doubt it. They had 12 men on the field. That automatically meant something was up if the GA assistants can count.

All hail the former Outback Bowl MVP.

TCU lost their previous game to KSU. USC lost their last game to Utah thanks to an injury to their QB. This happens all the time in football since there are relatively few games. It's mostly luck ... every year, especially with all of the injuries. I think Alabama should have been in the playoffs this year and probably not other years. Same with GA.

Reminds me of Succop's blocked kick against the Gators in 2006 at the Swamp at the end of Spurrier's first game back. Succop is still playing on Sundays for the Bucs.

How was that not targeting? Any shred of credibility that the NCAA has left might have just gone out the window. They are now at the level of professional boxing and Don King. Were those SEC refs?

Most games are like that, then there is the Swindle in the Swamp. That game had some serious bowl money riding on it for FSU. The ACC refs came through in the clutch. I remember even the national announcers being shocked at the imbalance of calls.
