Dan, if you own a Mercedes, please turn it in. The next time you are invited to Atlanta, come up with, I don't know, a broken clavicle? As we said in Boston for decades, "Wait 'till next year." 15 new starters with a 20-year-old QB, and you finish 13-2. Heck of a season. And on 1/19, in Cig and his Hoosiers, I'm believing.

After OBD defeats Indiana, I hope Coach Lanning insists on the higher-seeded team using the Miami Dolphins' home locker room. 😁 Ooops! 🤬

SEC Network's Jordan Rodgers: The B1G is better than the SEC. Personally, I think it's close and varies program by program. But one thing that needs to be addressed is the voters, including the PO Committee's top-to-bottom love of the SEC conference. The six Big Ten teams that did not win six games in 2025 were not good football teams. The six SEC teams that did not win six games in 2025 were not good football teams. Consistently top 25-ranked Tennessee and Missouri did not defeat a P4 team that finished with a winning record. Highly touted A&M did not defeat an SEC opponent that finished with a winning record. That OBD could and in some quarters should have been out of the PO with a second Big Ten loss was frustrating and absurd. The on-field results this season IMO, support Tony Petitti's automatic qualifier PO format.

For those who believe Williams' conduct is righteous. Every FBS coaching contract has a liquidated damages clause, and they are uniformly honored and enforced. The agreement Williams signed included a waiver of his right to transfer. I imagine UW and his agent did not expect Williams to dishonor his agreement. Liquidated damages are likely to be included in the new template and will be enforced. Damages? If someone on behalf of LSU improperly contacted Williams, Interference with a Contract should be very easy to prove. NIL deals in support of this poaching would be revealed in discovery, and ipso facto damages will accompany the disclosures. There is a much larger issue. If the Big Ten-approved revenue share agreements are not enforceable, chaos becomes catastrophic chaos. QB hurt during the season, just go buy one from a competitor. To hell with any revenue-sharing agreement the injury-free QB may have with his existing team. To hell with the QB having any responsibility to his teammates. To hell with any concern for the integrity of the game. For goodness' sakes! Williams isn't trying to get out of a deal for a stipend, room, board, and tuition. Williams and his advisers, one of whom has quit in disgust and to avoid financial damages and damage to the Wasserman Group's reputation, agreed to a deal estimated to be between $3 and $4 million dollars. If this BS falls in the lap of LSU and Kiffin, I see the workings of fate and pefect karma.
