When Your College Football Team Isn’t Playoff Material

The Michigan Wolverines face off against the Washington Huskies in the 2024 College Football Playoff tonight. Maybe you’d like to see your team make the playoffs next season. But it may not happen, especially if your team isn’t very good.

Here are some signs that your college football team isn’t playoff material:

  • The offensive linemen were challenged to a game of “Red Rover” by a local middle school. They lost.
  • Game highlights aren’t shown on ESPN’s “Sports Center.” They’re shown on “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”
  • Most of the team’s game balls have gone to the punter.
  • The last thing your wide receiver caught was food poisoning
  • The players commit so many penalties, your coaching staff includes a probation officer
  • The other team stole your signals but gave them back out of pity.
  • The coaching staff can’t come up with an offensive strategy, a defensive game plan, and on their way to the stadium the team bus got lost.

The worst part is some people on the East Coast still can’t remember where they parked their cars on New Year’s Eve.

Green Day altered the lyrics of their 2004 hit “American Idiot” to denounce Trump supporters during their performance at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest. The punk trio, with a history of anti-Trump activism, faced a backlash from angry fans on Twitter while preparing to release their new album, Saviors, later this month.

Trump supporters were all up in arms, asking the band, “Can’t you be less political, like those nice boys in ‘Rage Against the Machine?'”
