Thanks to all of the 200+ contributors and the other 730,000+ subscribers in the CFB subreddit. It is a interesting coincidence that in the year of phenomena growth in the CFB subreddit that LSU bookended it phenomenal undefeated season by beating the two college football teams that had the longest undefeated records: 25 for UCF ended in the 2019 bowl game and 29 for Clemson ended in the National Championship! Some may claim it was lightning in a bottle, but I doubt that a college football team has ever or will ever top a 16-0 record and an undefeated season sandwiched in between two teams that had not been defeated in 54 games. Thanks to the three Joe amigos -Joe Burrow, Joe Brady and Mickey Joseph. Y’all got better throughout the season. And y’all certainly quieted the nonbelievers, and entertained all lovers of the college football game. Go O, go Bo, go E in Two0TwoO.
It just came to my attention that Denmark's best players are refusing call ups and that their federation are being forced to call up players from the third tier of their leagues and players from their national futsal team.
Aggregate, it's a 24-0 victory against Bulgaria. Well done, ladies.

Of the 11 FBS teams with at least 60 wins this decade (2010 season through 2015 season), only three have not appeared in the BCS National Championship Game or in the College Football Playoff. Those three teams are: Boise State, Northern Illinois, and Stanford.
Stanford is the only P5 team with 60+ wins this decade to not appear in the BCS National Championship Game or in the College Football Playoff.

Stanford has established a consistently competitive program but has not managed to make it onto the biggest stage (BCS NCG/CFP) despite its 65-15 record this decade.
Is Stanford the new Virginia Tech? Did Stanford steal the mantle of "almost there” from Virginia Tech in the 2011 Orange Bowl?
^^^I ^^^realize ^^^Virginia ^^^Tech ^^^played ^^^in ^^^the ^^^2000 ^^^BCS ^^^NCG. ^^^Just ^^^go ^^^with ^^^it.
TL;DR Stanford: Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Stanford may be the new Virginia Tech.
For me personally, I think the 49ers will have it rough despite starting 2-0, because they still have to play the remainder of the AFC North, besides the Bengals, as well as their own division which is shaping up to be quite hard.
I think the Giants technically have the best chance to turn it around provided Daniel Jones pans out. They’ve already got one Dallas game out of the way, and the rest of the division looks vulnerable. They may have to play the Pats, but that also means getting to play the jets and dolphins.
Full text of the tweet here. I post this not to get political (although I have no doubt that the comments will inevitably be so, sorry mods), but to give additional voice to these student athletes that we love. This sentiment is certainly not contained within just the University of Iowa football program, and is something that I believe fans need to hear.
To paraphrase the old saying, these athletes that we love to watch every Saturday aren't just athletes. They're people. Men who deserve our respect, on and off of the field.
To quote Kaevon:
>"I would rather play in front of 1,000 fans who care about us as people outside of football and what we are standing for, than 70,000 fans who only care about us when we are in uniform and on the field entertaining them."
