I'm workshopping a take that the reason that Ohio State, Alabama and Clemson have taken a step back is because Texas A&M has essentially taken 10-15 of the rarest DL athletes in the sport and made them irrelevant.
I don't think I believe it yet, but I've got an eyebrow raised.
I don't understand why Texas A&M isn't more dominant up front. They have Georgia-level talent.

It was a late hit. It was to send a message. It was dirty. He should have been penalized for it. He was.
It is not the most egregious thing to ever happen in college football. He doesn’t need to be “banned from the sport.” His mom doesn’t deserve threats.
Get a grip.
