    Freeze comes out of Spring practice not enamored with any of our QBs, lands a surprisingly obscure transfer QB who nevertheless seems perfect for his system. TJ stops playing football, Robbie switches to 4th string slot receiver and then the new QB has a freak season ending injury. Holden Geriner starts week one.

    This scenario is about as Auburn as Auburn can get.   I’ll go with this prediction.

    Oh crap!   it is starting. 

    It just a mater of time before you pick your child's  sport and position by picking your embryo !   The next step will be  genetically engineered embryos.

    "Imagine that you were provided no-cost fertility treatment and also offered a free DNA test to gauge which of those little IVF embryos floating in a dish stood the best chance of getting into a top college someday.

    Would you have the test performed?

    If you said yes, you’re among about 40% percent of Americans who told pollsters they’d be more likely than not to test and pick IVF embryos for intellectual aptitude, despite hand-wringing by ethicists and gene scientists who think it’s a bad idea....."

    Most do it subconsciously when picking their mate.

    I think Auburn sneaks up and beats either Bama or UGA next year.  I don’t know UGA’s roster but they will be breaking in a new QB.  At home, earlyish in the season with the crowd can give Auburn the first win over UGA in a minute.  Never discount JHS magic in the Iron Bowl.  The 2nd string Qb Bama has this year is super athletic but may not be the best passer.  They are probably replacing both coordinators as well.  Loses on the road to Arkansas and LSU.  Pick up Vandy and Cal.  Depending on the portal the schedule sets up very favorable for Auburn.

    CNN — 

    The College Football Playoff will expand from four to 12 teams starting with the 2024-2025 season.

    The tournament board of directors agreed to the expansion on Thursday.

    In September, the board unanimously approved the expansion. The new format was set to begin in 2026 but the board had tasked the College Football Management Committee to try to implement the expansion earlier, following the 2024 or 2025 season. 
     

    “We’re delighted to be moving forward,” said Bill Hancock, executive director of the College Football Playoff in a statement. 

     

    “More teams and more access mean more excitement for fans, alumni, students and student-athletes. We appreciate the leaders of the six bowl games and the two future national championship game host cities for their cooperation. Everyone realized that this change is in the best interest of college football and pulled together to make it happen.”

    The national championship game is scheduled to be played in Atlanta in January 2025 and in Miami in January 2026.
