This was a weird week for the Bubble Watch. All of the contenders still alive last week had such a huge lead on the field that we can’t really eliminate most of them. No, Florida and Notre Dame are not still in contention — it certainly seems that way, at any rate. However, if we […]

If you have seen our Bubble Watch here at The Student Section, you will remember that we still count 13 teams with a chance at making the College Football Playoff. Some of these teams have worse chances than the others, while some have very clear paths to the Playoff. With only two weeks left in […]

At our count last week, there will still 16 teams left alive in the College Football Playoff hunt. Now, with just two weeks left to go, we are down to 13. TCU was eliminated when they picked up their second loss, Wisconsin’s chances ended when Iowa clinched the Big Ten West, and Houston’s pipe dream […]

Richard Mullaney has been a great find for Alabama. Coming into today’s game he had 28 catches with 3 TD. Today he added this fantastic TD catch…. Oh wow. Richard Mullaney… What a grab.

We noted last week that the committee has not been wholly consistent in how far down teams move after suffering a loss, though we can begin to note a pattern this week. Six ranked teams lost last week. Once again, some of them fell further than others. In general, it feels like the amount a […]

When we did our Bubble Watch last week, we still had 21 teams left alive in the College Football Playoff race. After a chaotic week last week, though, we are now down to 16. Utah, UCLA, Mississippi State, and LSU were all eliminated with losses. LSU’s resume actually isn’t bad; it compares relatively well with […]

When Alabama has faltered recently in SEC play, and that has been rare over the last five to six years, it has been predominantly to quarterbacks who have the ability to get outside the pocket and run. Enter Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott, who is the unquestioned leader of the Bulldogs and fits that profile […]

We’ve probably all been in a situation where we see or know someone who has a point they’re trying to get across, but they go to absurd levels to continue driving that point home. The CFB Playoff committee rankings, version 2.0 came out last night, and while it’s been said many times in this spot […]
