Game Thread: Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026 - 7:30 p.m. | No. 6 Ole Miss vs. No. 10 Miami (Fla.) | Fiesta Bowl (CFP Semifinal) (Glendale, Ariz.) | ESPN

Refs should have called defensive pass interference. This was not a hail Mary type setup; the potential receiver was running his route. The announcer said the receiver didn't have a chance anyway but he is wrong. The Ole Miss player still got one hand on the ball with feet inbounds after being pulled down; definitely catchable without the interference.
 
I can’t believe an Alabama/Miami title game was actually on the table, the 93 game was 4 years before I was born so I’d love to see that matchup one day
 
Tua’s brother came in at State when he was injured (Tua) and lost a year. Appealed to the NCAA. DENIED. UNBELIEVABLE
He had already transferred to Maryland and Saban went to bat for him. Said he deserved an additional year. And they still denied it.

You have the head coach from the previous school lobbying for a player to get a year back at his current school. Why? Because it would have been right thing to do.

Totally screwed the kid.

Today the NCAA passes extra years out like candy on Halloween.

Taulia should sue the NCAA. Some judge would award him a huge settlement if they didn’t just outright write a check to make him go away.
 
He’s unparalleled at screwing his team out of playoff wins.

And for all the LSU trolls on msg. boards and social media who keep saying "it's Kiffin's team" and "Kiffin's players", Ole Miss would have lost to Georgia last week if Kiffin was coaching. I will pop some popcorn and watch how that fanbase reacts when he pulls his hot yoga and trolling schtick after a loss.

Kiffin is the opposite. The guy can recruit and coach, but man, when he is headed out the door he causes untold carnage in the leaving. Alabama, Tennessee, and now Ole Miss. It's part of the package. He will leave you one day, and when he does, he will leave behind a mess.

Kevin can recruit and he can even coach. But eventually he's going to leave and when he does in the process of leaving, he's going to leave behind a mess on his way out the door. It's the very way that he leaves that disrupts the losing school. He did it at Tennessee, he did it at Alabama, and now he's done it at Ole Miss.
 
I was in it for OM, but I really think Miami has the best team for knocking off the Ducks or Hoosiers.

And the Canes fans get the advantage of making a run on the Orange Bowl tickets before them.

They should enjoy a home-field advantage, which will be big!

I'm hoping for a Canes vs. Ducks final. I'm just sick of the Indy and CC love!!!
 
Big time - officiating team blew it.......what a farce.......and gotta say stuff like this is driving me away from the game even more than all the money stuff!
These weren't necessarily plays that decided the games, but Ty Simpson went through a 3-game stretch of explicit late hits and no calls whatsoever. I just wish I knew the reasoning.

Seeing those 4 names all clustered together, never having stepped foot on a college field, brings back some memories. That 2021 team really was the last of the great Bama teams of the Saban era. What a run.

And now, the sport itself is a shell of itself. Think about it. Our final three is Indiana, Oregon, and Miami. Ole Miss was a missed DPI away from being in the room with Indiana and Oregon.

Blue bloods, no more.
