Khari Thompson | Don't let Jackson State football's ugly Celebration Bowl loss overshadow historic season

Deion Sanders and Jackson State aren't satisfied after their historic season ended in a disastrous loss, @_KhariThompson writes. But don't let it detract from the the rejuvenation of a program — and a brighter spotlight on HBCU football.https://t.co/LWn5jCsFm9

Let the debate begin for the HBCU national championship.

The FAMU Rattlers are the 2021 Black College National Champions !!!🐍🐍🐍

— Ray Mathews, Jr. (@RayMat06) December 18, 2021

SC State > JSU (by 21) > FAMU (by 1) > SC State (by 23)

If you used pool play for the Black College National Championship, it would go like this:

FAMU: +23 - 1 = +22
SC State: +21 - 23 = -2
JSU: -21 + 1 = -21

So who's the 2021 Black College National Champs?
