Favorite Kirby moment for sure, though I liked the run back he did earlier too. Happy he finally was able to beat his mentor, it was past time it happened.

I would have not guessed it had been so long since UG had won the national championship. They always are in the conversation.

All sports, but seemed better to put this in one of the college threads. Football is a good one since this is partly about increasing media rights money and football is the biggest area that will happen. This is how this unfolded today. Biggest sports news of the day easily before Durant set fire to free agency.

Having not heard or followed this at all... have to ask why? Or is simply just a money thing?

I wanted to put you on PT but, what other possible reason might there be, in College Sports? USC and UCLA want to leave the immoral PAC-12? The BIG-10 lines better with their scholastic goals? It has got to be some money issue, nothing more.

Many people have said (long before this) that the Pac-12 botched their media rights deals. It seems as if the conference as a whole, for instance, split in the area of $345 million between all their member schools for the last school year (that's a figure that was given in an LA Times article). By moving to the Big 10, they'll get at least $100 million each in revenue each year in that media rights deal.

I forgot the Pac-12 championship game was tonight so I didn't watch it... but am very nervous now as an Alabama hater after USC's loss tonight. If TCU lose tomorrow, very scared we see Alabama slide back into the playoff. I thought this for sure they wouldn't make it this year...

Me too on Alabama. AL is saying that their losses were on the last play of the game. FG vs Tennessee and a 2 point conversion in OT vs LSU.

Also, do not forget that Michigan can lose today vs Purdue besides TCU.

Only team in CFP at the moment is Georgia

Let's just hope they leave TCU in.

Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama would be a dreadful playoff for anyone not a fan of those teams :)

Best playoff round since they started this for sure. Michigan will be kicking themselves for the game losing self-inflicted mistakes they made several times over, might not even been all that close if they had cut the mistakes in half. I was legitimately concerned about Jim having a heart attack on the sideline in the first half.

Heartbreaking loss for Ohio State. But CJ Stroud was amazing and moved himself up many draft boards last night. Think OSU wins that if Marvin Harrison Jr. doesn't get injured, to say he came to play yesterday would be an understatement.

Not sure anyone was happier than Vegas last night.

How about that timeout called by Georgia down by 11 when Ohio St did a fake punt? That saved Georgia.

The defensive back from TCU was sweating when they did the replay review on the botched snap by Michigan

Yeah that was one of those plays that won't get much coverage after, but was quite important.

Was there a lot of money on OSU and/or Michigan?

I am a Michigan fan, but even with that preface the officiating was particularly bad in the two games.
