Why did we start Kings of the North?
Because Down there, this is what they do and how they think, and too much of college football believes it.
We’re bringing facts, and ⚔️, to every college football discussion.
Spread the word through the North.
Ohio State reminds us so much of the LIV Golf Tour…
Not quite the best, but will pay you crazy money to come play there.

No one loses better than the SEC.
I think we can all admit the National Championship game was Saturday Night's nightcap. Alabama gave UConn much more of a game than Purdue. Big Ten drought with no title will rise to 24 years.

@KOTNCFB
There’s 41 bowl games and only a handful of CCGs. So the current format makes it as close as possible to a regular season award. It’s a grand tradition without parallel. You’re trying to fix something that isn’t broken.
