Honestly kind of surprised that Moore is actually firing guys, seems like this situation would've been ripe for a quick trip to the alcohol museum in Ann Arbor, because Denard is a really good guy.

edit: After seeing in the comments that Yoder is a stinky reporter, I have henceforth removed the source to his tweet and instead am just linking the Mlive article.

/r/CFB Trivia Tuesday!

This Week's Contest: http://trivia.redditcfb.com

Spring Standings/Questions

Your Trivia Settings

Rules

Trivia Tuesday is a weekly feature run by /u/bakonydraco, /u/DampFrijoles, /u/Davidellias, and /u/iamnotacola. There will be TEN QUESTIONS this week ranging from questions most everyone can get to questions that might stump just about everyone. Your goal is to quickly answer them to the best of your ability. You get a one point speed bonus for finishing in under 5:00.

There are definitely still ways you could cheat the system, but please do not. This is meant to be a fun weekly feature, and we encourage you to take it at face value and answer the questions without assistance.

NOTE: because this is the final, there are ten questions this week. Additionally, a speed bonus is earned by finishing in under five minutes instead of the standard 2:30.

Nine perfectos headed into the final:

An additional sixteen users got every question correct, but not fast enough for the time bonus.

Playoff

Now for the final 16 in the Individual playoff:

As usual, the finalists gathered yesterday and took this week’s trivia in advance. This was done mainly as a check to ensure that the finalists were above board and not cheating.

However, the finalists have been sworn to secrecy and will not discuss the questions until the Trivia window closes Wednesday morning.

Premier Tier

Here are the final four for this season’s Premier Tier championship:

Ohio State Michigan State Michigan Auburn

The defending champion Wolverines look to claim Title 14. Their arch rival Buckeyes seek their fourth title, which would tie them with Nebraska for second-most Premier Tier titles. Meanwhile, the Spartans and Tigers look to get on the board with their first-ever title. This is Auburn's first ever trip to the Premier Final!

This Ain't the Same Ol' South Florida Championship Tier

Here are the final four for the TATSOSFCT championship:

USC Fresno State Miami (OH) Cincinnati

The Bulldogs are going for their fifth title, which would extend their lead as the winningest team in the Championship Tier. The Redhawks and Bearcats are in line for their second title, and the Trojans want to Fight On to their first win.

Tier namesake [USF](#f/usf] was eliminated in the semifinal, so there will be a new Championship Tier victor.

Best of luck to all, and be safe!

If ESPN has an out clause on their ACC contract in 2026, what are chances they would work with the SEC to yank the top 6 to 8 ACC teams to add to the SEC and prevent the Big Ten and Fox from getting any stronger? Sure, there will likely be lawsuits from the ACC and the teams left behind, but aren't there always lawsuits and settlements with realignment. Wouldn't ESPN be reallocating funds from the ACC deal and using it towards paying the newly added SEC teams? This would be a swift and possibly final move by the SEC in realignment.

I can't imagine ESPN, SEC, and Greg Sankey letting the Big Ten come onto to their turf and taking Florida State, Clemson, UNC and others without a fight.

Imagine the SEC/ESPN grabbing Florida State, Clemson, UNC, NC State, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Miami and either Georgia Tech or Duke. A 24 team SEC with no real options for the Big Ten left on the table. Clean move for UNC to move with NC State to the SEC. Same with UVA and Virginia Tech.

With the EA Sports College Football 25 cover being released this Thursday, I thought it would be interesting to look back at all covers — and not just the EA covers, but the athletes featured on covers of rival games by Sony, Sega, and other competitors.

Competition is a good thing. Putting these in chronological order takes me back to the era where there were options (I bought my first game in the '90s, and played a lot of 2k2).

If you count the 2 players that are identifiable off of "College Football USA 96" there have been 36 cover athletes across 34 editions of college football games (plus an active coach, mascot, two band members, and an unidentified player)

This post is going to look cleaner in "old" view. You can swap the "www" with "old" in the URL or just click here.

*Photos on College Football USA 96 cover are USC Trojan drum major, a Wisconsin band member, unidentified Florida State player (zoomed in on helmet), but also easily identified K-State WR Kevin Lockett & Michigan RB Tim Biakabutuk (both played in '95 season after this came out)

###Various developers:

EA Sports's developers:

• High Score Productions (1993: Genesis, Sega CD; 1994-96)
• Visual Concepts (1993: SNES)
• Tiburon Entertainment (1997-98), bought/renamed EA Tiburon (1999-2013), renamed EA Orlando (2024)
• Exient Entertainment (2003: N-Gage)

Sega Sports's developers:

• BlueSky Software (1994-95) [developers of Joe Montana series]
• Visual Concepts & Avalanche Software (2001-02) [NFL 2K & NFL Blitz, respectively]

Sony Computer Entertainment America's developers:

• Sony Interactive Studios America (1996-97), renamed Red Zone Interactive (1998-99), renamed 989 Studios (2000)

Aspyr Media's developer:

• Nerjyzed Entertainment (2007: Windows; 2009: 360)

###Further notes:

Bill Walsh was picked because there was an early-theme of having big names on sports video games.

• EA actually started this back when they were the cool, bad boy of games in the 1980s (I'm that old, they packaged their games like records and put photos of their programmers that made them look like musicians on the back) with the pioneering PC game One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird (1983), later updated to Jordan vs. Bird: One on One (1988).
• Nintendo got into it by localizing Punch-Out! as Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (1987) for NES. EA brought out John Madden Football (1988) for PC.
• Sega was wild about this when they launched the Genesis with Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf (1989), Tommy Lasorda Baseball (1989), Pat Riley Basketball (1990), Joe Montana Football (1991).
• 1993: Bill Walsh! There even was an EA Coach K college hoops game.

Bill Walsh may have got the cover curse:

• While he had retired from the San Francisco 49ers on top, after winning his 3rd Super Bowl, he had only returned to the Farm for a year when he was picked (he had a good first tenure in the 70s before jumping to the 49ers).
• In 1992 he took the Cardinal to a Blockbuster Bowl win and a #9 rank. Signed this deal for EA.
• After the first game came out he had two bad seasons and re-retired for good.

The progression of teams is fun to see.

• 1993: the top 24 college football teams from 1992 + 24 of the all-time greatest teams since 1978. The teams were unlicensed so they used city and state names, especially where similar to their real names (e.g. Michigan). But you got some fun results like a spirited game of "South Bend, IN" vs "Raleigh, NC"
• 1994: 36 Division I-A teams, but the bowls were still not included: Instead we get Maple Bowl, Palm Bowl, Pecan Bowl, and Redwood Bowl
• 1995: first version to feature all (108 at the time) Division l-A teams, the real bowl games like Orange, Sugar, Fiesta, and Rose. Includes older names but also the Pacific Tigers, which actually dropped football before the game was released.

The rights to the title "NCAA" license wasn't obtained by EA until 1998 (as you can see there was an earlier one-off by Mindscape). Its ability to use the NCAA's brands in the the football game was actually the secondary result of a licensing deal intended primarily for an EA "March Madness" basketball game.
