I still doubt he'll be ready for the Peach Bowl, but a win over Texas could make his status for the semifinals interesting (?)

Home field advance has been a huge factor for Notre Dame and PSU….

Who are the Devils going to play?

ESPN came out with an article about Vanderbilt's QB Diego Pavia who sued the NCAA over his denial of an extra year of eligibility. The Court issued a temporary injunction against the NCAA from keeping him from playing one more season until the case is tried or settled. In effect this ruling (at least temporarily) means that JUCO player could not have his time at the JUCO count against his FBS/FCS eligibility. Will be interesting to see how this turns out. Theoretically, it could mean that at some point in the future, a player could go the JUCO route then transfer with all four years of eligibility remaining. Just the latest blow to the NCAA and how toothless they've become in enforcing their own rules.

Here's the Story Right Here

Some tidbits to pass along

Good morning Huddle,

Does the Cinderella story have an even better ending with a Big 12 championship today?

Our entire staff is here to bring you all the updates here on the board and on Twitter.

...that when we were walking out of the Rose Bowl on January 1, 1997 we would have to wait 28 years to win another outright conference championship. I didn't think we were going to become world beaters, but I certainly thought we'd be getting to the Rose Bowl every 5ish years after that magical season. Snyder had turned a corner.

Of course, he was fired a few years later and only the 1997 team was anywhere near as good as that 1996 team.

That's why I'm doing everything I can to stop and smell the roses (see what I did there?) this time around. It's been a fun season, even if I feel a bit detached since I no longer tailgate and usually spend my pre-game hours at kids sporting events. But I'm not going to get worked up about betting lines, conference favoritism, or anything else. I'm just going to do my best to enjoy this.

I believe we'll get here again in the foreseeable future, as the Big 12 doesn't have a USC, Oregon, UW, Stanford (when they want to be good), or even UCLA. Nor does this conference currently have the QB talent we faced in the Pac 12 (a big reason there were so many upsets and so few unbeaten conference champs in the Pac 12, IMO). But there are no guarantees and who knows where I'll be if it takes another 28 years.

I hope all of you are doing the same and it makes your holiday seasons extra special and satisfying this year.

"Tempe itself is such a beautiful area. I loved seeing the support for the football team. It makes me want to come and live here." During his visit to ASU, Kanye Udoh saw some aspects of his trip which were unique and titled the scales the Sun Devils' way

"I’m happy that I get to join them in January, and I’m happy about the fact that they like me, and how much they want me to play now for them, and I'm just ready to show them." ASU able to bolster their backcourt depth next month with the addition of Trevor Best

Good afternoon Huddle,

In the midst of transfer portal news and Collge Football Playoffs we do also have the Sun Devils' last non-confrence game of the year. The "get away game" before Christmas hasn't been kind for ASU in recent years, but this is a winnable game, even though it's a de facto road game

BREAKING: ASU ranked No. 4 in the College Football Playoff bracket, getting a first-round bye, and is destined to play in Atlanta in the Peach Bowl on Jan. 1, 2025. Undeserving ranking to say the least after the 45-19 win over Iowa State in the Big 12 Championship game.

Played sparingly as a freshman and has three years of eligibility left. Good investment for the future.
