NFL Playoffs – Quarterback Won/Loss Records

Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes Leads QB Postseason Records

Frank Coyle/ Staff

The KC Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes attempts to become the first QB in Super Bowl history to win three consecutive titles this postseason. Mahomes has already won three titles over with the current back-to-back titles, setting up the opportunity to set a new NFL record. He has been incredible leading the Chiefs in the postseasons with 15 victories in his short career. His .833 winning percentage ranks the highest of both current and former veteran starters. Last season, his 15 postseason wins passed Terry Bradshaw, John Elway, Peyton Manning, Brett Farve and Ben Rothlisberger. His next win ties him with Joe Montana for 2nd place all-time behind only Tom Brady. Brady has an amazing 35 postseason wins with 7 Super Bowl titles, with most as a New England Patriot. Brady lost two SB games to the NY Giants, both when he left the field with only minutes to go with the Patriots in the lead, only to fall to dramatic performances by the Giant’s Eli Manning in the closing seconds.

#7 Notre Dame (13-1) vs #6 Penn St (13-2)

7:30 PM  – ESPN   at the Capital One Orange Bowl
    Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Fl

Irish Kicks Off Semi-Final Round vs Penn St.

The CFP semi-final games begin tonight with Notre Dame meeting Penn State in the Orange Bowl with Ohio State facing off vs Texas in the Cotton Bowl on Friday night. All four semi-final winners rank in the top ten on defense and feature strong ground games. Each semi-final contestant beat top clubs who were coming off the bye week.

Notre Dame has been directed by QB Riley Leonard who has improved greatly after a slow start and taken control of this balanced attack. He has provided tough leadership with the playmaking ability to make the big throw and savvy scrambling to move the chains. He has shined on the big stage and has the talent to direct this club in the season’s most important matchups. He beat a recent two-time national champion, Georgia 23-10 executing a sound game plan with balance and ball security, despite throwing for less than 100 yards passing. Runners Jeremyah Love and Jadarian Price provide a consistent duo. Love has provided breakaway speed and big plays on the perimeter which has changed games. The Irish defense is a tough unit which has overcome key injuries to CB Morrison and DT Mills. Safety Xavier Watts has been a instinctive playmaker and leader who directs this unit.

Penn State is remarkably similar to the Irish in many key respects. QB Drew Allar has matured over a long starting career. The Nittany Lions features a strong deep ground game which has been their staple for field position and game management. Penn State is only 4-13 vs top ten clubs in the James Franklin era. Runner Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen form a potent tandem out of the old Nittany Lion tradition. TE Tyler Warren has been outstanding and produced an All-American 2024 performance. He has been the catalyst of an offense which moves the chains and produces big plays from a variety of formations. The Penn State legacy of linebackers continues with Abdul Carter who has been a weekly difference maker. He is a little nicked up for the semi-final matchup, though is expected to start. The Irish offense will have to account for him and safety Jaylen Reed if they expected a consistent attack.

Expect Notre Dame to dictate ball control and allow QB Leonard to control the game with play action and his fine scrambling ability. The Irish beat Penn State in an old time matchup.

Notre Dame 23 – Penn State 13

The new 12- team format and system have been a resounding early success. They have been spread out over a three-week period which gave every club at least half a bye between games. This included a bye week for the top four teams from the power conferences.

College Football Playoff Semi-Finals

Notre Dame Edges #2 Georgia
Ohio State Beats #1 Oregon
Texas and Penn State Earn Semi-final Berths

The new CFP system has provided an exciting postseason which has the semi-final weekend set for outstanding matchups this week. Notre Dame concluded the quarter-final rounds with a dramatic 23-10 victory over Georgia. The Irish played their best game of the season and moves forward with a matchup vs Penn State in the semi-final opener. Penn State drilled Boise State 31-14 to advance to their best postseason position in CFP history.

Texas held on vs a scrappy Arizona State club, winning 39-31 in two OT periods. Ohio State smashed #1 Oregon with a surprisingly strong 41-21 performance which was never really that close.

The four semi-final contestants have been in the top ten all season, which eliminated the top two clubs, Oregon and Georgia in the quarter final round. Ironically, all four bye teams, Oregon, Georgia, Boise State and Arizona State were all eliminated in the quarter final round.

NFL Draft 2025 Selection Order – The Titans are ‘On the Clock’!

Titans, Browns, Giants, Patriots & Jaguars Hold Top 5 Picks

 2025 NFL Draft 1st Round Selection Order

 Frank Coyle/ Head scout

With the closure of the regular season schedule, the NFL Draft order was been established for the top 18 non-playoff teams. The Titans, Browns and Giants hold the top three selections with each club at 3-14. These clubs started multiple QBs in 2024 after several injuries and poor performances forced weekly changes at the position.

The three teams tied at 4-13 and all are within reach of trading up for the 1st overall selection. It is the usual suspects in the top ten with several pretenders like the 49ers, Cowboys and Dolphins all falling below the .500 mark with weak performances.

The bottom 12 playoff positions will be decided by playoffs results. The Super Bowl teams will hold the 31^st and 32^nd positions.  

The strength of schedule % will determine the final positions of all tied teams. The SOS is based on all of each team’s opponents record. Each succeeding round, the tied teams will rotate up within their tied bracket.

 Playoffs – Wild Card, Conference & Super Bowl games determine final 12 positions

Team tie-breaking procedure for the NFL Draft

If two or more clubs are tied in the selection order, the strength-of-schedule tie breaker is applied, subject to the following exceptions for playoff clubs:  The Super Bowl winner is last and the Super Bowl loser next-to-last. Any non-Super Bowl playoff club involved in a tie shall be assigned priority within its segment below that of non-playoff clubs and in the order that the playoff clubs exited from the playoffs. Within a tied segment a playoff club that loses in the Wild-Card game will have priority over a playoff club that loses in the Divisional playoff game that in turn will have priority over a club that loses in the Conference Championship game. If two tied clubs exited the playoffs in the same round, the tie is broken by strength of schedule. If any ties cannot be broken by strength of schedule, the divisional or conference tie breakers, when applicable, are applied. Any ties that still exist are broken by a coin flip.
