Would Steve Sarkisian really mess with Texas?
As John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) got ready for the upcoming College Football Playoff semifinals, rumors started to circulate that Sarkisian would draw interest from NFL teams.
We saw the NFL briefly court Marcus Freeman, but to no avail.
Sarkisian leaving for the NFL would not only re-open the head-coaching carousel, but would put Texas between a rock and a hard place in 2025.
Also, Georgia was able to land Zachariah and Zion Branch in the transfer portal.
Just when you thought the college football season was about to wind down, False Start has more steam than a locomotive coming down the track, brother!

Any of these four teams can win the College Football Playoff, but Cody and Buhler see eye-to-eye on who is getting to Atlanta in a week and change.
They also touched on Ryan Grubb being out in Seattle, Wes Goodwin out in Clemson and Ryan Walters going to Washington to replace Steve Belichick as Jedd Fisch's defensive coordinator.
