  2. NFL Reveals Deadlines to Declare for 2025 Draft with 'Championship' Rule Change The NFL has revealed its special eligibility rules and deadlines to declare for the 2025 NFL draft, with Monday, Jan. 6 serving as a soft deadline for special eligibility, Wednesday, Jan. 15 operating as the traditional hard deadline and a special "championship" deadline set for Friday, Jan. 24, specifically for players for the two teams in the FBS Championship Game. Additionally, the opt-out deadline to remove a player from draft consideration is Friday, Feb. 7. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network broke down more of the details and announcements from Tuesday: NFL draft-eligibility rules state that a player "must have been out of high school for at least three years and must have used up their college eligibility before the start of the next college football season. Underclassmen and players who have graduated before using all their college eligibility may request the league's approval to enter the draft early." Additionally, a player is only eligible to be drafted in the year following the conclusion of their college eligibility. Once a player is deemed eligible, the pre-draft process begins, which can include invitations to a trio of All-Star Games (East-West Shrine Bowl, HBCU Legacy Bowl, Senior Bowl), participation in the NFL Scouting Combine, pro days and private workouts. And, of course, mock drafts, big boards and rumors as far as the eye can see. As for the NFL's revised calendar for requesting special eligibility and new "championship" deadline, that was put in place due to the expanded College Football Playoff, which now will feature 12 teams and be spread out over an entire month, starting on Friday, Dec. 20 and concluding on Monday, Jan. 20.
  3. They ask Sark to break down some film on Texas offense in part of this video... good stuff
  4. Mel Kiper updates Big Board Top 25 player rankings for 2025 NFL Draft after Week 9 by:Andrew Graham•10/31/24 1. CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado Hunter remains the top talent in college football and has gotten back on track after being slowed by an injury. He’ll keep a stranglehold on the top spot barring an unexpected fall off. Perhaps most impressive about Hunter is that he’s been an ironman playing both ways. He’s played more than 800 snaps in eight games. 2. CB Will Johnson, Michigan Johnson has been quiet of late as he’s mostly been held out with a lower body injury. But when he’s healthy, he’s arguably the top cover corner in the class and a top player. Johnson has plus size and length at the position and plenty of ball production in his college career. He’s also a plus run defender on the outside. 3. DE Abdul Carter, Penn State Carter has made a full-time move to rushing off the edge this season and it’s paid off. His blend of length, size and athleticism lends itself to beating tackles in his way of choosing. With just four sacks on the year, Carter’s out and out production could probably be better. But he’s been thoroughly impactful and can make a big splash against Ohio State on Saturday. 4. DE Mykel Williams, Georgia Williams has come back from an early-season ankle injury and looked the part of a top edge rusher in the class. And coming into college as a top recruit with elite physical traits, Williams was always on course to be in this conversation. His stats have been lagging as he’s played fewer games. But his explosion and power off the edge are undeniable. 5. DT Mason Graham, Michigan Graham plays the defensive tackle position with an elite blend of technique, both with his hands and footwork, and plenty of quickness and brute force. And it’s made the Wolverines defender a premiere talent in the 2025 class, should he declare early. And Graham will be tantalizing for NFL teams as he can provide the coveted interior pass rush without sacrificing as a run defender. There just aren’t many players who can be as consistently disruptive in the middle of the line like Graham. 6. OT Kelvin Banks, Texas In a league where teams are betting on traits more and more, Banks fits the bill. But his production stacks up brilliantly, too. By years end, he’ll have started more than 40 games at Texas. And even with that long track record, you can count the sacks Banks has given up in his career on one hand, keeping him firmly in the Top 10 of Kiper’s Big Board. 7. DE Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Scourton has been a plus-addition for the Aggies front during his first season in College Station, where he’s from. And the transfer edge defender is equally as effective crushing pockets as he is boxing in runners. Scourton plays from the edge with a lot of power and length, walking tackles back and setting firm edges. He might not have the elite get-off and bend of other pass rushers, but 12.5 tackles for loss and five sacks speaks for itself. 8. S Malaki Starks, Georgia Starks is a ballhawk and has been a consistent force on the backend of Georgia’s defense basically since he arrived on campus as a freshman. And he’s only gotten better year to year. And along with his top-shelf ball skills, Starks brings plenty more to the table. He’s got the length, bulk and willingness to come down as a run defender and rarely misses tackles. 9. RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State Jeanty is the Heisman front runner for many and though he’s perhaps likely to slip out of the Top 10 come draft night, the talent and production is undeniable. That’s what tends to happen when you’re on a pace that only the likes of Barry Sanders have been on. And though Jeanty might not break some of those absurd single-season marks, he’s been eye-wateringly productive. And with speed, power, pass catching ability and comfort in pass protection, Jeanty is the total package NFL teams want at running back. 10. OLB Jalon Walker, Georgia Walker burst onto the scene with a massive showing against Texas. In just the first half of that game, he showed elite quickness and closing speed, picking up a trio of sacks. And having played both off the ball and now off the edge, Walker’s versatility will be intriguing for NFL teams. And as production starts to catch up with the physical abilities, Walker could climb some more. Players Nos. 11 through 25 11. QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado 12. QB Cam Ward, Miami 13. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona 14. OLB James Pearce Jr., Tennessee 15. DT Kenneth Grant, Michigan (+3) 16. OT Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota (+3) 17. DT Walter Nolen, Ole Miss (-1) 18. WR Luther Burden, Missouri (-1) 19. OT Will Campbell, LSU (-4) 20. CB Shavon Revel, East Carolina 21. CB Benjamin Morrison, Notre Dame 22. TE Tyler Warren, Penn State 23. OT Josh Simmons, Ohio State 24. TE Colston Loveland, Michigan 25. S Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina And with a month of the college football season still to go, there’s plenty more movement to come in Kiper’s Big Board.
  5. Yeah crazy that more media didn't pick up this story on Clemson. But Texas is now the Big Villain in CFB... 🤘
  6. Crazy... where is all the outrage towards Clemson fans throwing trash on the field??? 😋
  7. Week 10: What's wrong with Auburn? Georgia still has a lot of good. South Carolina makes statement! 30min mark Decent analysis aggy vs cocks
  8. SIAP... some early talk that Tulane head coach is a rising star that will move up to a Power 4 job soon.
  9. Disappointing loss... "Unranked Ohio State leads wire-to-wire in 80-72 victory over No. 19 Texas" https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/unranked-ohio-state-leads-wire-to-wire-in-80-72-victory-over-no-19-texas/ar-AA1twbmQ?ocid=BingNewsSerp
  10. Listened to a few minutes of the "Loochador" and Monday texag radio morning talk -- it's all about the Cocks playing "all-world" and the aggys missing on just a couple offensive plays. It's still funny how often talk about the Texas game comes up -- "livin' in their heads 24/7"🤘
  11. Definitely been some disappointing games from CORN this season. Gotta believe Colorado folks are now saying "wtf, how did we lose to that team"
  12. Coming out of the bye week, what areas should we expect to see improvement from the Texas defense?? Not sure that I've seen our defenders trying to punch or strip the ball out often?? Still hoping to see better pressure rushing QBs, and generating more fumbles.
  13. Mike Gundy: "The people that are negative and voicing their opinion are the same ones that can't pay their own bills" Gundy's comments are drawing plenty of early criticism, but deserve a full and complete examination before coming to a thoughtful conclusion. Doug Samuels 28 minutes ago Below is a clip full quote from Gundy's zoom, as well as the full answer in transcript form he provided for additional perspective. https://footballscoop.com/news/mike-gundy-the-people-that-are-negative-and-voicing-their-opinion-are-the-same-ones-that-cant-pay-their-own-bills
  14. Gotta get run game and offense back on track Question was something like if one thing could improve/correct what would it be? Answer from Sark that included mojo comment
