Stop. Disrespecting. The. 49ers.
NO. Everyone needs to poo-poo on the Whiners. Why? Well... I do because I have no horse in the race right now and just wants maximum chaos.

Are there any new colleges adding lacrosse this season?

The downside to the Arizona Bowl is that Barstool Sports is doing the broadcast. I've seen cable access stations do a better job. It is truly awful. Tank did the coin toss so there's that, I guess.
Oddly enough, if your area has a CW Network... it has the game. Which is a win for both sides - a bowl game NOT on ESPN and a football game on the CW, of all networks.

Chargers? Uhh, you good? 42-0 in the FIRST HALF.
I'm shocked they didn't just yeet Brandon Staley's sorry ass into the Luxor at halftime. This is clearly a team that has given up once they heard that Herbert was done for the year.

Niners can move into the 1 seed if the Cowboys win because they hold tiebreaker over both the Eagles and Cowboys

That flexbone offense Harding runs is scary as hell. They've ran for over 5500 yards this season (A Division II record, BTW). Colorado School of Mines have their work cut out for them next weekend in the Division II title game.
As for the others...
Division III (Friday): North Central vs. SUNY Cortland
NAIA (Monday): (3) Keiser (FL) vs. (1) Northwestern (IA)

Daniels winning the Heisman is a testament to his body of work this season - nearly 5000 total yards of offense and 50 total touchdowns.
He didn't have a breakout moment per se, but his body of work was pretty hard to ignore.

Finally, Chicago State will have a conference home. However, will it last in the long run? I mean, I can understand why it was needed, as the NEC is a core member school shy to losing the automatic qualifying bids.
But at the same time, it reminded me of how the A-Sun added NJIT due to a similar predicament back in 2015, and it took nearly years for that conference to rebuild after having losses of schools from an expansion standpoint, especially after NJIT left to join the AmEast in 2020.
So I wonder if it eventually happen for the NEC, when it comes to keep stability and later get some expansion schools until those schools fully transition from D-II to D-I, and later Chicago State would eventually move into another fitting conference, as long as they will rebuild themselves to be somewhat competitive.
It might. This is a marriage of convenience for both sides: For Chicago State, it's a home after two years of wandering the wasteland that is being an Independent outside of football. This also means that the teams that do have homes as associate members now get a true home.
For the NEC, it's a school that's already in Division I that can help them stay afloat as both Sacred Heart and Merrimack leave. It also gives them access to the Chicago media market (what little they can get from it, anyway).
The wildcard in all this? Chicago State's plan to add football. By joining the NEC, Chicago State has a home for the planned football program they want to launch.

All this talk about Florida State has me thinking... they need to be mad at Georgia for losing the SEC Championship Game.
If it wasn't for the Bulldogs losing, they're more then likely in the playoff as you would have four unbeaten teams and a one loss Texas team as Big 12 Champion. Guess who gets hosed there?
So, for all the talk of Florida State boycotting the game and stuff... I say nay. Go out there and beat the Bulldogs senseless. Make an example out of them and let the committee know that they screwed up.

Congrats to Liberty on being the first member of Conference USA to reach the New Year's Six. I want to see if they can hold up against a Power 5 team like Oregon.

The four teams are in...
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Texas
4. Alabama
5. Florida State
6. Georgia

At this point, it's simple:
Michigan, Washington, Florida State, Texas.
Anything other then those four in the playoff is a failure.

Good News: Seattle's offense did pretty damn well last night. DK Metcalf made fools out of the Dallas secondary (especially Bland, which surprised me since he's pretty good).
Bad News: The defense couldn't stop a wet paper bag.

That was a surprise move to be honest. I wonder if this would affect the so-called OVC-Big South partnership. Plus, the OVC side has 11 full members and about 6 or 7 of them with football; while the Big South side has 10 full members and like 2 or 3 of them with football.
Would the Big South stop sponsor that sport so that those members become OVC fb. affiliates? And to be fair, if the OVC would add one more full member with the sport, it would give them 12 total, 8 with that sport.
I think it does. The Ohio Valley is doing the heavy lifting here and I get the feeling that the Big South might pull the plug on football so both Gardner-Webb and Charleston Southern join the Ohio Valley as affiliates. I mean, let's face it... Presbyterian isn't going back to the Big South for football anytime soon.

Reel that in a bit, they still have the conference championship game next week.
Exactly. It's more then likely they'll have to play SMU in the American Championship Game next weekend and if they falter, then either Toledo or Liberty could jump them and be the Group of Five rep in the New Year's Six.

Last night went bad... If this is the best Seattle has to offer against that gauntlet, then it's going to be horrifically ugly by the time it ends after Philadelphia comes in.

Knowing what I know with Seattle, I get the feeling that they want Dan Quinn before anyone else. People still remember that he was the guy who built the Legion of Boom up here. If not him, then I think Seattle needs to look for someone that can add some life to the team... but I don't know who can do that.
