I put $5 each on Clemson, Boise, and ASU. Long shot but it’s the season for miracles.

Coleman Owen deserves an all star game and combine invite. Really emerged as a great player this year.

Put up insane numbers. Feel bad I barely watched MAC much this year. All time low for me as far as viewing games this season..

The CFP kicks off tonight in South Bend as Notre Dame hosts Indiana. These teams are tied amongst playoff contenders for the most white starters with 9 each, so this game is as good as it will get.

Of the 12 teams, 9 have white quarterbacks and five will start at least 2 white defenders.

Here is a summary of the teams in CF terms, sorted by today's 'FanDuel' odds to win it all:

Oregon (+340): 2 starters (TE Ferguson, LB Boettcher)

Texas (+370): 6 starters, 2 defenders (NT Norton, FS Taaffee), white QB (Ewers/Manning), pass-catching TE (Helm)

Georgia (+500): 7 starters with 12 personnel, 2 defenders (DE Chambliss, S Jackson), white QB (Stockton/Beck), pass-catching TE’s (Delp/Yurosek), backup WR, reserve RB

Ohio State (+500): 5 starters, 1 defender (DE Sawyer), white QB (Howard)

Penn State (+550): 4 starters, white QB (Allar), All American TE (Warren), white slot WR (Leonard)

Notre Dame (+750): 9 starters, 3 defenders (DT Mills, LB Kiser, LB Bowen), white QB (Leonard), 2+ white defensive backups

Tennessee (+2300): 4 starters, 1 defender (LB Telander)

Indiana (+4000): 9 starters, 2 defenders (DT Carpenter, LB Fisher), white QB (Rourke), snowplow OL

SMU (+4000): 2 starters, pass-catching TE (Hibner)

Arizona State (+5000): 2 starters, All American RB (Skattebo), white QB (Leavitt)

Clemson (+6000): 7 starters, 2 defenders (LB Woodaz, LB Brown), white QB (Klubnik), pass-catching TE (Briningstool), backup WR, 2 white defensive backups

Boise State (+6000): 8 starters, 1 defender (LB Notarainni), white QB (Madsen), snowplow OL, pass-catching TE (Lauter), 4+ white defensive backups, 2 white backup WR’s, white PR


Everyone will prioritize their own rooting interests: for example, I hope Arizona State wins it all despite their anti-white roster because their unequivocal star is RB Cam Skattebo. If you follow my logic, there are roughly three baskets for these teams. Not saying the teams themselves are "good;" rather, just sorting the potential outcomes.

Tier 1 (yes, please): Arizona State, Notre Dame, Georgia, Indiana, Clemson, Boise State
Tier 2 (meh): Texas, Penn State
Tier 3 (no way Jose): Oregon, SMU, Tennessee, Ohio State

Great summary Phall! Thanks! Wow. ASU only 2 white starters.
It's a long shot, but I'm going with my guys from Clemson. If they had guts, they would put Sammy Brown in the backfield. The man is a football player and would go both ways if they would let him!
Clemson
Georgia
Notre Dame
ASU
Indiana
Penn State
Texas
Boise State
After that I won't care.

Great content as always! I'll throw Ohio State in the "meh" category because they have a White QB. Otherwise I am in total agreement with your logic.

IU vs Notre Dame should be a good game between two NFL caliber QBs. This game is a push for me in terms of the outcome. I would like to see the White dual threat Leonard have a strong playoff run and Notre Dame winning a championship would really make all the SEC homers heads explode.

Yeah, I'm probably a bit biased, lol. I guess my logic is that Will Howard could play four great games at QB and still not win any individual awards, as the credit goes to his pro-ready receivers. Win or lose, no NFL team is drafting Howard to compete realistically for a starting job next season. However, you could add that Jack Sawyer isn't just a "white starter" but an All-American caliber, late-first/early-second round pick.

If Penn State were to somehow go on a run, it would surely be due to Tyler Warren's standout performances. On the other hand, if Boise State were to win a few games, you'd hear only how amazing each of Ashton Jeanty's 45 carries were and comparatively very little about the rest of the team. Just a matter of taste!

Good to see Rylie mills playing well. He has the “traits” to be a 1-2 round pick, but lacks that melanin

James Carpenter playing a great game, just had a blocked FG.

Rylie Mills left the game with a leg injury but seems to be ok.

ND LB Drayk Bowen playing very well tonight as well.

This was a great game for bigger reasons. This was a playoff game played in freezing temps. Playing in the cold is a huge advantage to Whites for obvious reasons, so we should support this.

Thanks for the Break down Phall! Former Walk on DB Will Brooks is also a starter for Tennessee . Not sure when the last time the Vols Started "Two White players on their Defense! LB Jeremiah Telender did sneak upon me this season.

Disappointing thought Boise State had more than one White starter on Defense...less than Tennessee would never have thought that!

Some interesting contest; Quinn Ewers was lights out Heisman front runner early ; until an ab injury derailed his season. Has he been 100% since? Cade Klubnik is from AUSTIN TX playing in front of his "Hometown" should make for some extra fireworks!

Would like to see more stats out of Penn State WR Liam Clifford! Tyler Warren the Nation's Top TE is sure to get his!
Oh and for Penn State to have less Whites on Defense than Tennessee (O) is unacceptable; as a kid the always had several.

It was cool seeing all the White Boys on the Notre Dame defense tonight! Hope D-lineman Rylie Mills will be ok!

Good catch, buddy- thank you! I certainly didn't bother to click the profile pics of the starting Tennessee defensive backfield!

I'll give Heupel and Tennessee a little credit here just for giving Brooks the chance to show up his position group. Lots of power conference programs would never let a white DB onto the field at any point unless he somehow collected four stars from a high school recruiting service, let alone some mere walk-on. I wonder how much better than his teammates he had to be!

I was watching the game with my family and my mom commented “ wow notre dame plays almost as many white players on defense as black players”. Lol

Glad the commentator called out that stupid play from the smu qb. He had the first down but got greedy and the result is a turnover on downs

I guess this is that white-on-black violence that I always hear about in the MSM. Dominic "white guy" DeLuca intercepts SMU super QB Jennings and takes it to the house.

One narrative I've noticed is that teams with white QBs are there in spite of, or at best, for reasons unrelated to their play. For teams with black QBs, well, quite the opposite. This game is a perfect example - I've heard non stop hype for this quota but he's been dog water against any real competition. Allard on the other hand, just lucky to be there. Great talent around him.

Your welcome! I don't blame you ; it's easy to do! lol

Being from down here in the Dirty South ; have followed LSU/SEC all my life......and currently the SEC Starts 5 White DBs ( 4 original Walk-on's OF COURSE)...it's been a very long time since this has happened!

Tennessee ....Will Brooks....made some big plays and game Winning INT etc
Georgia ....Dan Jackson...one of the Hardest Hitting Safeties in College Football!
Arkansas ....Hudson Clark (back to Corner Back again!)
Texas ....Michael Taaffe ....making a solid impact

Alabama ....Bray Hubbard...the ONLY one originally offered a Scholarship out of HS (from the state of Mississippi)

>>> Is this an anomaly?? Or a trend?? Because i haven't seen this in a very long time! Being a White DB was almost " off limits" over the years.

For all the flack the SEC gets (as it should) ...How many P5's or even Mid Majors (check the write up's) Start 5 White DBs?? How many does the Big 10 start? + just put out Bowers ; McConkey; Pearsall on Offense (NFL Draft Top 34 picks)
