Last One, Best One – 2024 College Football Playoff

January 7, 2024

Boy, oh boy. To say we were entertained by the slate of College Football Playoff games on New Year’s Day is a complete understatement. I’m always excited for the playoff, obviously, because it’s the pinnacle of the college football season. For the past 9 years, the four-team playoff has been the most highly sought-after goal of any power 5 football program… an expectation more realistic for some than others… and...

It’s safe to say my prediction was off (everyone’s was)… but here it is: After Auburn’s 59-14 win over UMass last Saturday, it’s safe to say the Auburn family is hopeful. 88,000+ fans showed up and and...
