That number reportedly makes the Bulldogs’ win the least-watched college football title game since the beginning of the BCS in… Source link

Could we have two semifinal rematches in the College Football Playoff?

Could we have two semifinal rematches in the College Football Playoff?

The semifinals of the College Football Playoff could look very familiar on New Year’s Eve. Four of the teams currently in the top five of the AP Top 25 made a playoff appearance in either 2020 or 2021. And while any of those five teams could easily make the playoff, we’re picking those teams with playoff experience to make the playoff field at the end of 2022 in our first set of bowl projections.

It was proven again Monday when Tepper fired Rhule after he put together an 11-27 record as Panthers head coach. He was owed more than $40 million when he was fired.
