Social media roasts Georgia Tech for creating rings to celebrate 7-6 season
Social media roasts Georgia Tech for creating rings to celebrate 7-6 season
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets celebrated their 7-6 season with rings. We would say championship rings, but we aren't exactly sure what the Yellow Jackets won.
In 2024, Georgia Tech went 7-6 including 5-3 in ACC play (tied for fourth in the conference). The Yellow Jackets lost to the Vanderbilt Commodores in the Birmingham Bowl and did not really have a major accomplishment outside of upsetting the No. 4 Miami Hurricanes, which is acknowledged on the ring. The ring also celebrates Georgia Tech's 24-21 season-opening win over the No. 10 Florida State Seminoles, which sounds impressive until you realize that Florida State went 2-10 and had just one win over a Power Four opponent all season.
Perhaps Georgia Tech's biggest accomplishment in 2024 came in the form of a loss. The Yellow Jackets took the Georgia Bulldogs, who went on to win the SEC championship and make the College Football Playoff (something Georgia Tech has never done), to eight overtimes before losing 44-42 in heartbreaking fashion. The Bulldogs have now won seven straight games over Georgia Tech.
The Yellow Jackets' rings celebrate going 5-0 at home. Georgia Tech's home schedule included only three Power Four opponents, which was among the lowest among major programs.
Yes, Georgia Tech's 2024 season appeared to be another step in the right direction for head coach Brent Key and company, but a 7-6 season for a program that has won three national championships does not deserve rings.
Georgia Tech's rings
One fan asks the obvious question
"What did y'all do to earn a ring???" asked one fan on social media. This is a legitimate question that we don't have an answer to.
Fans are stunned
Another fan can't believe it
One Georgia Tech fan wants the post deleted
"Why is this post still up?" asked a Georgia Tech fan on social media. "Pretty sure Brent Key has absolutely nothing to do with this mess knowing him."
Hilarious FSU fan reaction
The ring also highlights the Birmingham Bowl appearance
"I have never seen a team make rings for a bowl game that they lost," said one fan via social media. Teams make rings for just about any accomplishment these days, but come on. If you have rings for a 7-6 season, then definitely don't post them on social media.

The EA Sports College Football 26 teams we are most excited to play
By Antonio Morales, Ari Wasserman and Chris Vannini We're getting closer and closer to the release of EA Sports College Football 26's launch. There was a ton of hype and excitement surrounding last year's game, which was the return of the college football game after an 11-year hiatus. Now, we're starting to learn a little more as EA Sports has tried to work out the kinks from last year's return. EA released an official trailer for the game last week, and The Athletic's Chris Vannini played the game and wrote about the differences in this year's version. Advertisement As the July 10 launch date nears, three of The Athletic's EA College Football devotees (Vannini, David Ubben and Antonio Morales) have shared their thoughts on the teams they're looking forward to playing with in this year's game. Let's get to their choices. This time last year, Kevin Jennings was the best-kept secret on SMU's campus. By midseason, the dual-threat passer had officially taken over for returning starter Preston Stone, helping lead the Mustangs to the College Football Playoff. His speed is going to be maddening on the game, and he's due for a ratings upgrade after his breakout season. He was an 88 by season's end with 87 speed. Plus, LJ Johnson Jr. is due for a breakout season at running back, and RJ Maryland and Jordan Hudson should be a solid 1-2 punch in the passing game. The Wildcats were my online team last year, and working the quarterback run game with Avery Johnson and Dylan Edwards should be very satisfying again. Johnson should be improved as a passer on the game to give some balance, and Jayce Brown should get a speed boost (it was just 90 last year) to make defenses account for the vertical game more than they did a year ago. Plus, with the additions of receivers Jaron Tibbs and Jerand Bradley, the weakness of the offense should be upgraded. I'll miss trucking defenders with DJ Giddens, but Edwards' rating should get a boost this year. Nyck Harbor only caught 26 passes for 376 yards last year, but he's a cheat code in the game and opens up the entire offense. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound track star shouldn't have his 99 acceleration and 99 speed ratings dip, and that's good news for QB LaNorris Sellers, who was only an 82 overall on last year's game. Dylan Stewart was only an 87, and a freakish defensive end can change everything for playing defense. He might be pushing well into the 90s on CFB26. Alongside Harbor, Mazeo Bennett and Jared Brown give Sellers three receivers with at least a 92 speed rating. I'm scared just thinking about it. There's a reason the Gamecocks were one of the most popular teams online last year, and that may only grow this year. Speed kills. Advertisement I love to run the ball, and A&M has the craziest stable of backs on the game. Le'Veon Moss, Rueben Owens and Amari Daniels were all over 85 overall last year and should get some bumps this year for a team that's very good on the line of scrimmage, too. Plus, QB Marcel Reed should get a bump from being an 83 overall last year. The Aggies aren't a sexy team in the passing game, but running multiple-back sets from Collin Klein's playbook will give defenses a headache. There's nothing more demoralizing than knowing you can't stop an opponent's running game, and A&M might be the best running team on the game. Especially with the emphasis on Wear and Tear this year, having three big-time backs means never having to adjust your approach. New playbook! New Rice coach Scott Abell's gun option made him a force at Davidson, and with expanded playbooks on this year's game, I'm looking forward to digging into Rice's playbook for all kinds of option schemes out of all kinds of shotgun formations. There were some great plays and RPOs with options built on top of them on last year's game. And considering the unique nature of what Rice should be doing under Abell, I could see his playbook being very popular. I make my own custom playbook, and I know I'll be stealing a few pages from Abell's. I've already played with the Sooners in my brief hands-on with CFB26, and they're as fun as you would expect. With dual-threat quarterback John Mateer, running back Jaydn Ott and a strong defense, the Sooners might be the go-to team for a majority of casual online players the same way Alabama was last year. Mateer finished CFB25 as an 87 overall and Ott was an 89. Both should be better. Oklahoma was one of the biggest portal winners this offseason. It needs to show up on the real field for head coach Brent Venables this year, but on the virtual field, they're guaranteed fun. Quarterback Darian Mensah finished CFB25 as an 84 overall as a Tulane freshman, but he should get a ratings jump and be a lot of fun to play with at Duke as one of the better QBs in the country. Oklahoma transfer receiver Andrel Anthony should be a speedy deep threat (that 94 speed should improve), and the offensive line should be one of the better ones in the ACC. The defense returns a ton from a group that finished fourth in sacks and needs to get more respect than last year's ratings (80 overall). While the attention is rightfully on quarterback Dante Moore (81 overall, 79 speed in CFB25), don't overlook that the Ducks added Tulane running back Makhi Hughes (92 overall). I briefly played with Oregon in Orlando, and it is a fun team with an obviously fun playbook. I grabbed an interception with Purdue transfer safety Dillon Thieneman (90 overall in CFB25), and the Oregon defensive front will be strong again. Advertisement I always spend some time with a triple-option team, and Navy fits because of returning QB Blake Horvath (85 overall in CFB25) and its awesome playbook that could be even more dynamic this year. Offensive coordinator Drew Cronic's Wing-T option took off in a big way last year. I didn't get to the Midshipmen in my test, but I'm looking forward to it. Yes, really. The Hawkeyes actually had a really solid playbook last year, and now they've got South Dakota State transfer quarterback Mark Gronowski under center. He's coming back from a knee injury, so I'm not totally bought in in real life yet, but video game Gronowski will have no concerns — I'm curious how FCS transfers will rate in the game. Running back Kaleb Johnson must be replaced, but there's a group of talented running backs behind one of the best offensive lines in the country. To get ahead of it, Michigan may or may not be fun to play with this season. I tested out the Wolverines, but I didn't like quarterback Bryce Underwood's accuracy, and I really didn't like the playbook. I don't believe the players' ratings in the CFB26 test I did were final, so maybe that changes. While Alex Orji felt unstoppable early in CFB25, some ratings adjustments changed that, and I wonder what pre-adjustments will be made this year. Or if Underwood gets a boost for being on the cover. I had the most success playing the game online with the Gators last year. DJ Lagway is a stud, can make every throw in the game and is really valuable in the run game. The offensive line was solid, and the run game was diverse with good formations, particularly out of the pistol. Jadan Baugh is a tough, physical runner as well. I play with the D-line when I'm on defense, and Tyreak Sapp is disruptive on the edge. Those players should all be better this year, so there's a lot to like about Florida, especially if you're playing with the Gators in Road to the CFP, where you can grind out long possessions during those three-minute quarters. This is strictly for the running game. I tinkered with the Yellow Jackets last year and had some good moments with them online. I might utilize them a bit more this season because quarterback Haynes King is the perfect trigger man for this offense and is experienced, which should help when you run into an opponent with an overwhelming stadium pulse. Running back Jamal Haynes is a threat to score from anywhere on the field, and that speed complements King's running really well. There's an identity with this program, so if you're in the mood to run the ball, this is going to be a good option for you. As you can probably tell, my video game allegiances lean toward mobile, athletic quarterbacks. I watched Devon Dampier quite a bit at New Mexico last season and even created a dynasty with the Lobos in the game a few months ago. He's raw as a passer, but he's very much a dynamic playmaker (2,768 passing yards and 1,166 rushing yards in 2024). It helps that the Utes have two stalwart tackles — Spencer Fano and Caleb Lomu — to protect Dampier and also run behind. Washington State transfer Wayshawn Parker is a good player at running back, and Utah's defense is always solid. Utah is coming off a tough year on the field, but it should be fun to use in the game. I'm all in on Huskies sophomore quarterback Demond Williams Jr. There was some buzz about him last offseason, but the greater college football world didn't really get a full glimpse of it until Washington's bowl game against Louisville. He's a gifted, explosive playmaker with good escapability, so he's fun to play with and the best sort of quarterback to frustrate your opponent. The Huskies have a standout running back in Jonah Coleman and made some shrewd additions on defense through the portal this season. Williams has the potential to be electric, and there are good pieces on the team that'll make Washington entertaining from a gameplay perspective. Advertisement I know there was a bit of a drop-off offensively last season, but the Hilltoppers at the very least have a productive passing game pretty much every season. I love the playbook. There's an HB Angle screen in there that became a go-to play for me. Whenever I started a dynasty in last year's game, I always changed my coach's playbook to WKU's. The Hilltoppers have cycled through offensive coordinators and quarterbacks almost every season, and this year they've brought in Abilene Christian OC Rick Bowie and quarterback Maverick McIvor, who teamed up to lead a productive FCS offense last year. I'm betting on the QB-playbook combination to be a fun one.

Miami Football Preview 2025: Can Mario Cristobal's Hurricanes Win Everything? originally appeared on College Football News.

Everyone likes to dog the coaches who 'can't win the big one' - James Franklin has, ridiculously, been a regular in that discussion. Even more insane is that Ryan Day is, in some circles, still in that mix when it comes to Michigan. But to get to the 'big one,' you have to beat everyone else. In 13 full seasons as a head coach at FIU, Oregon, and Miami, Cristobal has been underappreciated as a builder of programs. Advertisement It's lost in history, but Oregon went 11-14 before Cristobal turned everything back around. The Ducks went 35-12 with two Pac-12 Championships and another appearance in his four seasons. But there was always the one strange loss that messed everything up. In 2021, it was to a 3-9 Stanford. In 2019, it was against a mediocre Arizona State. In 2018, it was at Arizona. And now at Miami, he's done a wonderful job of recruiting and developing talent. It took two seasons to push past the mediocrity and into a 2024 season that should've finished with an ACC Championship and a spot in the College Football Playoff, but … Syracuse 42, Miami 38. And just like that, it was all gone. Cam Ward pulled a few games out of the fire, the Hurricanes caught a whopper of a break to survive Virginia Tech, and they finished the season No. 1 in total and scoring offense, but it wasn't enough thanks to that date in Syracuse. This year's team might be too good to let that happen again. The talent level remains as strong as any in the ACC, the depth is strong, and Cristobal has the program humming. This is when the payoff should be coming, but the Hurricanes need to be amazing again on … Miami Offense Breakdown Miami Defense Breakdown Season Prediction, Win Total, Keys to Season This story was originally reported by College Football News on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

Notre Dame mailbag: Is it over with USC? Fun watching film with Marcus Freeman?
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Welcome back to the Notre Dame mailbag. You've got questions, so let's get started. Note: Submitted questions have been edited for clarity and length. As the USC series appears to be approaching its end, how much of the blame falls on the Big Ten essentially holding USC hostage? Do you think this could be a sign of things to come as the wheel of college football 'progress' churns toward a Big Ten/SEC super league, and is there a world in which Notre Dame is blackballed from scheduling games against foes from those conferences? — Jack Z. For starters, the Big Ten didn't force USC to join, destroying the Pac-12 in the process. That was USC's decision, which all but dragged UCLA, Washington and Oregon to follow the Trojans' lead, toppling a conference and scattering it across the Big 12 and ACC. Advertisement As for the 'sign of things to come' aspect of scheduling, it's worth monitoring. It's also worth acknowledging Notre Dame has home-and-home agreements with Alabama, Florida, Texas, Texas A&M, Purdue, Michigan State, Arkansas, Indiana and Michigan on future schedules. Ohio State just came off as a home-and-home. The Shamrock Series created a neutral-and-neutral against Wisconsin. Our 2025 home game times are SET ☘️👀 📆 Mark your calendars 📆 🎟️ #GoIrish☘️ — Notre Dame Football (@NDFootball) May 12, 2025 As much as both leagues feel like they're taking their scheduling ball and going home, it's hard to imagine those conferences shunning Notre Dame (and the money associated with the Irish) to prove some high-minded point. The 'join a conference!' crowd is primarily fans and a few coaches. It never seems to be from the administrators running the sport. The adults in the room know Notre Dame is good for business. None of that means the USC series is on solid ground, however. But there's a difference between playing a home-and-home with Notre Dame and being locked into a perpetual series with the Irish. I'd doubt the teams cycling through Notre Dame's schedule would jump at the chance to play Notre Dame every year on top of their SEC or Big Ten slates. As much as USC is to blame for the current stalemate in the series, Lincoln Riley's willingness to walk away from one of the great rivalries in the sport makes sense for College Football Playoff contention purposes. (Yes, this assumes Riley can build a CFP-contending roster.) USC traveled to Michigan, Maryland and Minnesota last year. This year, it's got trips to Illinois, Purdue, Nebraska and that October date at Notre Dame. The Trojans don't think they need that additional travel to South Bend. USC probably doesn't want the extra competition, either, considering it just went 7-5 and finished ninth in the conference. Advertisement Notre Dame probably needs the series more than USC does. But the Trojans need a win over the Irish to validate Riley's project, which feels tenuous at best. Too many cautious programs and coaches worry about the schedule being too hard. They should spend more time on the upside of winning signature games. Marcus Freeman has already proved himself that way, not just by beating USC but by making the CFP run. Riley is much less defined, but a potential win over Notre Dame may change the perceptions around USC. He just needs to have the constitution to take on that challenge. It's not clear that he does. What's one thing you learned breaking down film with Freeman that maybe felt different from the previous versions of the series with players? — Terence M. Thanks for checking out that story. It was a lot of fun. The biggest difference between sitting down with the head coach instead of a player was understanding all the moving parts of the play opposed to just diving deep with one player on one assignment. But what struck me most going over the plays was how much there was to critique and how Freeman jumped all over it. Like, he was still bothered by receivers missing blocks in games that happened seven months ago. Games Notre Dame won! He even told me a couple of plays to go watch on my own, plays that had stuck with him that much. Freeman talks a lot in news conferences about not being outcome-driven and chasing perfection, but after watching just eight plays with him, I wonder if there are more than a dozen 'perfect plays' in a 150-play game. Maybe this shouldn't be a surprise, but getting 11 college kids to do the exact right thing at the exact right time seems really, really difficult. Is the lack of a 2027 quarterback offer a sign of maturity and incorporating lessons learned after being burned by longtime QB decommits, or a sign of the downside of having a season that stretches so deep into January? — Andrew B. It's the downside of having a season stretch until Jan. 20. Notre Dame couldn't use the winter contact period to evaluate quarterbacks in person, which is how the staff would have played it under normal circumstances. Whether it was offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock or quarterbacks coach Gino Guidugli, they'd have crisscrossed the country to see quarterbacks throw in person. Instead, they were preparing for the national championship game. And yeah, that's a trade Notre Dame would be willing to make every year, even if it means being behind in quarterback recruiting. Advertisement For the sake of context, it's worth remembering that Notre Dame landed four-star quarterback Noah Grubbs about this time last summer, just before Irish Invasion. But he'd camped at Notre Dame a year earlier and the Irish staff had been targeting him for months. The Deuce Knight situation was similar, with the Mississippi product targeted during the summer and committing before the Ohio State game two years ago. CJ Carr committed the summer before his junior year, same with Tyler Buchner and Steve Angeli. It's not like Notre Dame can't pivot late when forced to adjust, landing Kenny Minchey in November of his senior year or grabbing Blake Hebert in October of his senior year. The Minchey/Hebert timelines are not ideal because they delay putting a face on your recruiting class while also making it harder to pursue wideouts. Minchey was a late flip from Pitt after the Irish struggled to attract quarterbacks after landing Carr and missing on Dante Moore. Hebert was a reaction to Knight flipping to Auburn. I'm not entirely sure there's a 'lessons learned' element to quarterback recruiting this cycle as Notre Dame would chase Knight just the same this cycle as last. Would that be a smart move considering the 'fit' that's so important at Notre Dame? Debatable. Bottom line, quarterback recruiting is a crapshoot of the highest order. And that's true for everybody, not just Notre Dame. The most successful quarterback of the modern era was a three-star flip from Washington State, Ian Book. The highest-rated quarterbacks the Irish did sign haven't panned out: Brandon Wimbush, Tyler Buchner and Phil Jurkovec. And with the transfer portal available to Notre Dame, the penalty for missing at the position is simply a matter of money. There's always a Riley Leonard, Sam Hartman or Jack Coan available. So yes, Notre Dame needs to make a decision at quarterback for the Class of 2027 soon. I'd expect that to happen in the coming weeks. But with the uncertainty of the position combined with ability to get out of jail free (even if 'free' means a seven-figure investment), the Irish don't need to panic in making that quarterback call. Brian Kelly and Marcus Freeman capped their third years at Notre Dame with a run to the national title game. Which coach had the more impressive first three seasons — Kelly with his ground-up reinvention or Freeman's seemingly sustainable build (plus his overwhelming buy-in from the fan base)? — Ryan M. There aren't many places where Kelly should get the nod over Freeman with Notre Dame's fan base. This remains one. Kelly took a broken program and put it in the national championship game in three years. Freeman took a College Football Playoff regular and did the same. Notre Dame lost to Navy and UConn in the season before Kelly took over. Notre Dame went 11-1 and won its final six games by an average of 27.3 points in the season before Freeman took over as head coach. Advertisement As much as Year 3 under Freeman had a soul that Kelly's third season did not, thanks to the wins over Georgia and Penn State, it's hard to overstate the magic of 2012 when Notre Dame was the story of college football. Put another way, there was never a question last season if Notre Dame was relevant or capable of climbing the sport's mountain. Before Kelly's third season, it was an existential question if Notre Dame had been relegated to the has-been era of the sport. If Freeman proved people right about Notre Dame, Kelly had to first prove people wrong. Now the question is about sustaining success, which Freeman seems much more capable of doing. The university is more invested in football's success. The depth of recruiting is better. And as Ryan noted, the fan base is behind the head coach more now than then. I remember walking into the first practice before the 2013 season and telling another reporter it felt like we were going to cover three months of air coming out of the balloon. And that's what happened. Very little about Notre Dame football felt sturdy after Kelly's flirtation with the Eagles and the Manti Te'o nonsense. That's not the case today. Who ends up with more passing yards: CJ Carr/Kenny Minchey in 12 games in 2025 or Riley Leonard in 16 games in 2024? — Tommy R. To put Leonard's 178.8 passing yards per game in perspective, that ranked No. 89 nationally last season. If Carr/Minchey produce the same total of 2,861 yards during the regular season, it would amount to 238.4 yards per game, which would have ranked No. 36 nationally, between quarterbacks from Western Kentucky and Hawaii. Point being, we're not talking about some transcendental passing performance if Carr or Minchey do in the regular season what Leonard did in the entire season. So, give me Carr and/or Minchey to better Leonard's passing statistics. They both have more arm talent and a better receiver room, plus a better offensive line in front of them. Advertisement As for Leonard's 184 carries for 906 yards and 17 rushing touchdowns … that might be harder to replicate. Is there a new rivalry for Notre Dame that would interest you? — Peter B. This sounds like a great question for next week's fan survey. Not that I'm chasing USC off the schedule, but the Clemson series somewhat fills this slot if it comes to that. Creating new rivalries rarely seems to work … yet Irish versus Tigers somehow does. If USC dropped off the schedule as an every-season opponent, I'd run the slot into a higher-end Power 2 rotating series. Step back from rivalry and lean into novelty. Yes, I'd rather see USC every season, but what if Notre Dame swapped that over 10 years of home-and-homes with Oregon, LSU, Iowa, Auburn and Washington?
