Just correcting your error when you stated Cherry didn’t win a state Championship. He led his team to one last year. Additionally, winning a state title has never been a prerequisite to earning Mr. Football. I simply provided you an example of a past winner in which his team never made it out of a sectional. If winning a state title is now an expectation, the award is limited to 6 teams. I never claimed you stated anything negative about anyone. Just don’t align with your criteria.

Quite the praise from Nick Saban….

Former Center Grove standout DE earns Big 12 First Team honors!! Way to go Austin!!

??? Tyler Cherry led CG to a state championship his junior year and had a great game against BD in the semi-state as a senior. Not many teams put 30+ points on the Giants this year. Russ Yeast lost the award to a QB that never made it out of a sectional.

What did he say that was incorrect?

No outrageat all....young man from EC heck of a year. But the homer in me goes for Tyler Cherry, CG QB. One of the nation's top prospects. https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/player/football/2024/?position=qb 34 TD's, 6 picks and a 133.7 QB rating against a very tough regional schedule. (Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee schools) https://www.maxpreps.com/in/greenwood/center-grove-trojans/athletes/tyler-cherry/football/stats/?careerid=lf1091ae7k6p9

Guessing he will bring his stud DT and occasional fullback Meany with him!!

Very close. Flip Oregon and Ohio State.

I think those teams have proven it. Washington would be undefeated beating Oregon twice. (my doubts about the 2nd time beating them) That is significant. They would be in no question. If FSU runs the table, huge accomplishment. Absolutely waxed LSU. Have been in the top 4 all season long until their QB was injured. I think they have a more than legitimate shot to be Louisville in the conference tournament. How do you eliminate a team that has run the table? They've held their ranking all season long. Texas...for the same reason FB16 listed...they beat Bama at their place...identical record has to go with head to head competition. True....against an Auburn team that has not been burning it up this year. Bama does not pull that off against Michigan, Oregon, Ohio State, Washington, etc.

Great question...probably in terms of salary. Can always negotiate an Allen separation payment with the admin yo-yo's.

Totally agree. I wish they would have stopped at 8 team in the playoff. Conference championship winner for each Power 5 (before one was dissolved over $$) and 3 at large teams. Would love to see at least one of the 3 at large's from a non-power 5 (4) conference if deserving rankings. (all else being equal) This would put more emphasis on conference champions with an automatic berth.

Financially, the committee would love Texas to be in the playoff. Big time. If Florida State or Washington wins their conference championship, they deserve to be in the playoff.

Wondering about Chris Creighton at Eastern Michigan? Before he took the program over, EMU was a doormat in the MAC. Being a former Wabash coach, he may have some ties to the Hoosier State. Another possibility?? Curt Cignetti has built a super strong program at James Madison, moving them from FCS to FBS.

If you see nothing wrong how a college coach of a major national program acted, it speaks volumes. Stop trying to justify ridiculous, inmature behavior out of a coach because its your favorite team.... Point to me other college or pro coaches acting this way after a win. Shake hands, walk off the field and celebrate with your team. Be a man, not a child.

lots jumping in the portal.....Donovan McCulley got my attention..... https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/sports/college/iu/2023/11/28/four-indiana-starting-offensive-linemen-enter-the-transfer-portal/71725796007/ https://www.si.com/college/indiana/football/indiana-football-transfer-portal-tracker-after-2023-season

I am not sure they would destroy any team in the region, but FC is absolutely improving. Jayson West is a heck of a coach.

I may be wrong...I was told multiple years, but my source could have been mistaken.

Nah....a confident adult man doesn't need to talk when he wins. The scoreboard does that for him. He understands he needs to teach his kids much more than X's and O's. Its understood that his actions mean more than his words and the need to be humble. Can't imagine Tony Dungy or one from his coaching tree acting in that fashion. Based on your philosophies, I am thankful you never coached my children. As an ultimate "homer", you will justify anything if its your team. Making him the "victim" just like Jimmy. You are consistent...will give you that.

Nothing like a coach being a mature “leader of men”. Didn’t think it was possible to dislike a program more than OHIO….

I believe Carroll and Center Grove start a multiple year series next year. Looking forward to those 2 teams playing in the regular season.

Those are sure impressive privates....

I didn't take your comments negatively...just seeking to understand and having some good discussion. I agree with you...a tough schedule takes it toll. That's why I am not much into transitive property stuff. Thus my comment about playing a similar opponent at the beginning of the season vs. a season elimination game are not one in the same. Good, fun discussion! Congrats on the state championship...one heck of a run!!!

Hey Temp! Would seem one of your fellow UM fans rmust know you!!

Snider played WC opening game of the season..CG played WC as a well known opponent very late in the season. That’s not much to make comparisons. How does one know if they have a shutdown D, if they don’t play the toughest opponents? CG played a way tougher schedule than Snider. But hey, fun to be hypothetical. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Why would you place Snider over CG? CG and BD played to OT in the semistate...BD kicked a FG near end of regulation to force OT. Are you saying Snider can play even with BD if you believe they should be ranked over CG? CG's schedule was stacked full of very quality teams, many of them out of state. Snider could have matched their record all season long? Just wanting to understand your rationale.
