A BRUTAL, 59-SECOND ASSAULT. A 41-10 MASSACRE. This wasn’t a football game; it was a SYSTEMATIC DISMANTLING that exposes the ROT at the core of the “expanded” College Football Playoff. Ole Miss didn’t just beat Tulane; they UNMASKED a broken system where billion-dollar conferences feast on the carcasses of smaller schools in a cruel, pointless pageant. The so-called “Cinderella story” was DEAD ON ARRIVAL, bludgeoned into oblivion before the seats were warm. What are we even watching?
The REAL scandal? This game NEVER should have happened. While coaches like Tulane’s Jon Sumrall—enduring the UNTHINKABLE personal tragedy of his father’s death just days prior—are forced to perform in this gladiatorial farce, the sport’s aristocracy LAUGHS. Ole Miss, backed by SEC blood money, fields a quarterback in Trinidad Chambliss who is a MARKETING DREAM with NIL deals, while the other side is merely CANNON FODDER. This isn’t competition; it’s a SICK ritual of wealth and power.
And now, the machine grinds forward. Ole Miss “advances” to be SACRIFICED to Georgia, proving the entire first round was a MEANINGLESS, exploitive television product designed to line the pockets of networks and administrators. They sacrificed the integrity of the sport, the well-being of athletes, and the dignity of competition for CLICKS and ad revenue.
We cheered the violence on the field, but the TRUE VIOLENCE is what this system does to the very soul of the game. This is what we’ve sold our traditions for, and the scoreboard now shows only our collective shame.
