This is what should happen but I can’t imagine the CFP giving the mighty SEC the short end of the stick. They always get the committee love and I don’t see that changing now.

One team in. Washington locks in at least the 3 seed.

Who the hell is Curt Cignetti? I like it.

Campbell Is right about turnovers. That’s the difference. The offensive side is easily solved by the leagues most up and down OL doing their jobs consistently. Goff with time doesn’t make mistakes. Goff under constant pressure is a train wreck. That is all dependent on this line stepping up and playing to the level they are accustomed. This team may not win another game if the OL can’t figure it out. At the same time, they may win them all if the guys up front can get the dominance back. On defense, they can’t sit around and wait for the other team to make a mistake. They have to put them under pressure and force the issue. They need to do a much better job of making the opposing offense uncomfortable and forcing them to work faster.

He’s got a buyout but it expires on December 15th. That’s an odd time with transfer portal opening December 4th and Early Signing Day on December 20th. Makes it easier to keep him. Not sure how much the athletic department budget deficit plays a role. Any buyout money along with the contract for the next coach would come direct from their big donors and not from the same pool of general department money.

Big surprise here. His record in conference is 26-26 but only 3-19 against teams with a winning record. Never won a bowl game or had a top 25 recruiting class. His salary is almost $6M making him the highest paid public employee in the state of California.

It’s not going to be easy week 15 for the Lions. May even get flexed. MCDC vs. his mentor Sean Payton has a great storyline.

Saints WR Olave and Shaheed both left today’s game with injuries and didn’t return.

Going to be interesting to see what happens if both Oregon and Florida St. win next week. Do they select an undefeated FSU with zero wins over teams ranked in the top 12 and playing without their star Qb or do they take 1 loss Oregon coming off a victory over previously 3rd rated UW and have steamrolled everyone on the scheudle recently.

Washington opened as 9 point dog in their conference championship game vs. Oregon on Friday.

Indiana has fired Tom Allen after 7 seasons and will pay a $21M buyout.

There’s nothing fun about Iowa. They are like the furniture in a grandparents living room.

They’ve created a culture of rule breaking. Just kidding - Great win for the Blue. Congrats.

Looking forward to every part of this game except for 3 hours of Gus Johnson’s schtick.

Ohio State 42 Michigan 27 The loss of Harbaugh and Stalions is just too much for Michigan to overcome.

Not sure if it will be A&M but agree this is his last game at OSU if he loses today.

They aren’t naive. They are indoctrinated.

I hate to pile on but we haven’t talked about some of the issues going on at Free Safety. We are at 3 games in a row that a coverage was missed and led to a wide open guy in the middle of the field for an easy TD. I love the athleticism and ability of both Joseph and Walker but first and foremost they have to do their job and protect against the big play. They are the last line of defense and are supposed to be the deepest man. These are things that need to get cleaned up and both of these guys have to get better mentally to match their physical gifts.

They have to blitz more. I understand not wanting to risk leaving the defense exposed for an explosive play. The reality is this defense running their base package are always at risk to give up an explosive play. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t, so why not put more pressure on the opposing QB and force him to make quick decisions.

Everyone needs to play better starting with Goff.

Updated Prediction: Lions 45 Packers 44 Happy Thanksgiving All!

This is below average

Loved it.
