Joe Burrow said that during his recruitment, he went out to dinner with Ed Orgeron. When they got to the restaurant, Orgeron found out they didn’t serve crawfish. So Orgeron had the restaurant manager go out and get 15 lbs of crawfish and cook it for them anyway. That’s peak O.

devastated. heartbroken. In so much disbelief rn, I wish my leg broke earlier in the season so y’all could see this team is much more than the quarterback. I thought results matter. 13-0 and this roster matches up across any team in those top 4 rankings. I am so sorry. Go Noles!

FSU had more yards with its third-string freshman QB than Michigan had with JJ McCarthy. Louisville came in ranked higher than Iowa. FSU has played a tougher schedule than Michigan. Curious that the Noles are the undefeated team that doesn't deserve a playoff spot.

Every day before practice, Mike Norvell sprints the length of the field. It’s become a fun tradition for players, media and fans on social media. But for Norvell, it helps define what he wants his program to be. Loved working on this ACCN feature…

I get there are compelling deeper-dive reasons for some of this... but when we talk about expanded playoffs watering down the regular season, we're already doing that by ignoring what happened on the field in favor of what we think should've happened.

I just hate these guys entering the portal midseason. I get being unhappy with your situation but be a pro about these things. Just show up to practice, play on your phone, refuse to participate in drills, get kicked out by the coach and then go to a strip club.

The SEC: - coach gets fired immediately after walking off field - fan base irate before coach even hired - coach who won 66% of games in incredibly tough division fired - coach fired mid season coming off b2b division titles But yeah, destination jobs.

I'll have more to say in our Anger Index in a bit, but let's be clear here: The committee decided the games played to this point don't matter. It's about creating compelling enough games for the postseason. It's a business decision. And ultimately, they won't even have to feel…

Here’s my case for Trevor for Heisman. The award qualifications: β€œplayer whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity.” The guy literally helped save the season & is the most talented player in the game. That’s the very definition of the award.

Jared Verse's 2 years at FSU were remarkable by any measure, but his last 2 games after JT injury were just unreal: 58 pass rushes, 13 pressures, 4.5 sacks, 20 tackles (11 at/behind the line), 3 QBH, 1 FF & opps avg just 2.7 yd/play (and 1.7 yd/rush) when he was on the field.
