College Football Playoff lacks the heft of Floyd of Rosedale

The College Football Playoff trophy was unveiled today, and it's a whopper.

It weighs 65 pounds. That's a big ‘un. I know of only one trophy in team sports that weighs more. That would be Floyd of Rosedale, the bronzed pig that goes to the winner of the Iowa-Minnesota football game. Floyd weighs in at 98.3 pounds.

The World Cup that just became the proud possession of Germany's? That's a mere 13.6 pounds.

The Stanley Cup looks like it might weigh a half-ton, but it's a mere 35 pounds.

Major League Baseball's Commissioner's Trophy that goes to the World Series champion is 30 pounds.

The NBA's championship trophy is 14.5 pounds. The NFL's Lombardi Trophy is a feathery seven pounds.

The Claret Jug, that will go to the winner of the British Open next Sunday, is 5.5 pounds.

It's not a team trophy, but the heaviest trophy in sports may be the Borg-Warner Trophy. That thing is 153 pounds, which is heavier than many of the drivers who win it at the Indianapolis 500.

An Academy Award weighs 8.5 pounds.

And as the child Ray Boyd told Jerry McGuire in the movie 'Jerry McGuire,” the human head weighs eight pounds. Did you know that?
