When most college football teams finish their season strong, the media and fans start to build hype, noting that they’ve figured things out and are poised for big things the following year.

VESTAVIA HILLS, Ala. — Nick Saban’s talking points about College Football Playoff expansion remain very similar, no matter how many teams are involved.

The last time Michigan football got a commitment from a four-star tight end from the Mountain West region of the United States, it worked out pretty good.

Five seasons into his coaching tenure at Florida State, Mike Norvell would’ve still been ascending had the 2024 campaign gone as expected. Fresh off an elite finish and ACC Championship, the Seminoles’ fifth consecutive top-10 transfer class failed to pan out, the offense flatlined and sweeping coaching staff changes were made after the worst finish in program history. At this point, the …
