Didn't another Florida team (UCF?) get ripped off only a few years ago too? Went undefeated and was snubbed from the final four.

Feels like yesterday but was 2017.

After UCF’s 2017 season, the Knights claimed a national title (which actually ended up being recognized by the NCAA’s official record book). Then they subsequently hung a banner, held a parade, sold national championship merchandise, made championship rings, and did many other things that a national championship team would do.

Beat auburn in the peach bowl too.

But 2018 was the peak of UCF football with the stare down kid

Yep, the McKenzie Milton led team the knights had went undefeated

We will keep Heisman talk here.

I think either Penix or Daniels, Nix 3rd and Harrison 4th.

 

[gaskin]

Daniels should win it in a landslide. Over 300 passing yards a game with 30 TDs. He also ran the ball himself for over 1100 yards and I think 9 TDs. Those are just about all conference running back numbers as a QB.

 

[U2tigers]

College awards mean stuff all I reckon.

I hate the Watch list stuff.


They have pretty much made their minds up before the season even starts on who they want to watch.

Just not a fan of the way they do it.

 

[drd23]

IMO it should be
1. Daniels
2. Penix

3. Nix

4. MHJ

I'm not even sure that MHJ had the best WR season this year (which is different from being the best WR, which he is)

He hasn't but he has put up impressive numbers with a s**t QB.

 

[Big Unit 30]

Should be a good WR draft to choose from this year.
My Bears can hopefully snag one.

I’ve spoken with many CFB AD’s and yes some that have been on the @CFBPlayoff Committee, and to a person they agree that what happened Sunday should NOT have happened. One aspect so many overlook is the lack of consistency by the Committee particularly where Liberty over @SMUfootball took place and the answer Boo Corrigan gave was “well, they won every game.” Gee, that works for the NY’s6 G5, but NOT a P5 undefeated team! No disrespect to @LibertyFlames but @SMUfootball got hosed as well. The new expanded playoff format structure must have a complete overhauling in their Mission Statement moving forward. The rankings after #4 were a joke! By example giving credit for quality losses propped up @PennStateFball (again no agenda)but Iowa was their biggest win! Don’t tell me the criteria itself isn’t flawed because it is! Lastly, it’s an absolutely MUST more than one TV Network carrier be involved in creating the sports post season narrative. Sure, I work @FOXSports but whether it’s them or someone else, it MUST HAPPEN!

30 for 30 is back tomorrow with a doco on the 97 heisman race between Charles Woodson and Peyton Manning

Not the first to do it.
Michigan did a season of All or nothing for Amazon, Pac12 had one called "the Drive" that went for a few years. ACC and SEC networks have followed teams over a season

Any behind the scenes for sports team is great in my opinion the more the better. The fact its for my team in notre dame will make it must watch viewing for me.

Agreed. I am sucker for that kind of stuff.

If you don't already watch this channel on YouTube then you should be. They take behind the scenes looks at mainly football facilities but also some of other sports. The latest video is of UNC's soccer and lacrosse facility.

When they are controlled by the team it can feel a bit more like PR/recruiting.

Depends on who has final edit, ND football or Peacock/NBC

Jayden Daniels wins the Heisman

 

[Constantgin]

Pennix should have won for wearing this to the vote.

Next season's Georgia at Texas game is scheduled for the same weekend the F1 is in Austin. Horrible oversight by the SEC. They really need to look at changing it before fans start booking.

Also found it interesting that Georgia at Alabama is at the end of September.
and only 4 games vs FCS teams in November for the whole league, there are a few poor FBS teams like UMass there too.

the 2 bye thing with most of them being 3-4 weeks apart isnt great.
