I agree with Dave. A Saturday sequel of the 2012 game would be Bliss. But Dave, OBD fans would love to watch another Barner Burner like this. SC vanishes from the top 25, Meh. Autzen ZooUSC at Oregon the biggest show in college football in Wee...Duck fans remember 2012, and Trojan fans should. Oregon doesn't want that type of game again, but they do want to establish that kind of dominance.

Eli ain't coming! Congrats, coach, on this, and also your scathing comments directed at the Playoff Committee and the selection process. Search and you will find Eli taking a flamethrower to the entire selection process, including the stupidity of having rankings reveals before the final ranking. This take is probably not bouncing too high in Bristol. 😁 With 9 conference games next season, I think SEC coaches might join Eli and switch to being in favor of the B1G's 16-team, AQ playoff format, including playing the champ game in the final weekend of the regular season.

OBD 41 - 27 1 2 235

Of the top 25 teams, OBD, 49.6%, has the 17th-best odds to win out. The best odds? Notre Dame, of course. Ranking All Top 25 CFP Teams by Most Likely to Lose a Game

Gat, looking at the photo, I understand why you moved to Arizona. You must have been living in northern Florida, right?😁 (Great movie; one of John Candy's best.) UCLA is supposedly close to doing a deal with Chesney. But having coached at Holy Cross and now JMU, would he be a fit on the West Coast? Everyone's looking for the next Cignetti. Chesney needs another 14 years of seasoning. With Jimmy Sexton as his agent, the agent ADs most love to hate, DeBoer will be shopped. Among many others, Sexton represents Saint Nick and James Franklin, and drum roll, Lane Kiffin. If nothing else, there will be a daily carousel of coaching rumors.

Perhaps the Bruins aren't going Fisching? Captain Bob Chesney, a guy who has only navigated in Atlantic waters, replaces the Skipper. Hmmmm? Perhaps the AD and not the B1G Bruins boosters should be making the hire?

Spot On, KK, and would you have it any other way? 🤬🤬🤬 Dave Marsh suggested we come up with a trophy for the SC game. How about the Horse -💩💩💩Trophy? BTW - if California is oh so great, why are so many residents fleeing the Tarnished Golden State and moving to a Gargage Pile? 😁😁😁 I credit Georgia and Georgia Tech for having an up-front and honest name for their rivalry game, 'Clean, Old Fashioned Hate'. 👹 Truck the Trojans!

DM - Miami's most significant win came in the opener, 27-24 over Notre Dame. Miami also has wins over the ranked at the time USF, and Florida when Billy Napier was still the head coach. All wins at home. The Canes suffered a home loss to now unranked Louisville and on the road at SMU. Carson Beck had four interceptions against Louisville. SMU was a late-game meltdown. SMU only won due to a stupid post-whistle roughing the passer penalty by Miami. Miami has two road games left to play. This Saturday at VA Tech, and the regular season final game at Pitt. Miami still has a shot at the ACC title game, especially if Pitt can defeat Georgia Tech on Saturday. I think it's ridiculous for the PO committee to have 10-2 Notre Dame ranked 9th and 10-2 Miami 13th because, per the committee chair, 'ND has better losses.' A head-to-head loss is a 'better loss?' Everything in CFB has morphed toward the NFL except for the manner in which the PO is chosen and seeded. Tony Petitti's proposed PO format would take the majority of teams selected for the PO field out of the committee's hands.

OBD has the No. 1-ranked pass defense in the nation. The best passing offense OBD has faced is No. 22 Rutgers. Most of OBD's opponents to date have been passing game impaired. USC comes into Autzen with the No. 10 pass offense. OBD's red zone defense has been Code Red, missing in action. SC's O is 9th in Red Zone scoring. Run Game - OBD 2336 Yds - 9.4 per rush/ USC 2418 Yds - 8.7 per rush Both teams are being cagey regarding injured players. Safety Kamari Ramsey is a key player for SC. It is uncertain whether Ramsey, starting guard Elijah Paige, and RB Waymond Jordan will be able to play. As to OBD's wounded, fingers crossed. Trash the Trojans!

OK, it's a publicity stunt that would not be OK with Sooners fans; Bet MGM has released putative first-round odds for PO games if this week's rankings were final. Bet MGM had to turn away dozens of fans who tried to place bets. 🤪 12. Tulane at 5. Texas Tech (-29.5). For however long the current PO format remains in place, the 5 seed should have a walkover 1st round game. This is not college basketball. Earlier this season - Ole Miss 45 - Tulane 10. Tulane did defeat Northwestern. With a 2nd round game close to a certainty, would Coach McGuire keep his starters in, including brittle QB Behren Morton, and run up the score? I'd take the points. 9. Notre Dame (-4.5) at 8. Oklahoma. Oklahoma rarely loses in Norman and has a terrific run defense. I'd sooner take Oklahoma and the points. 10. Alabama at 7. Oregon (PK) - DeBoer vs. Danno, in December, in Autzen, what more could we ask for? Alabama cannot run the football. Oklahoma, without its best edge rusher, kept Bama QB Ty Simpson under pressure he hadn't seen since the opener vs. FSU (🙃) and forced three turnovers. The Bama passing game was sharp, the Tide had 200 more yards on offense than the Sooners, but the absence of a run game and short fields for the Oklahoma offense made the difference. EX: A for this Committee making it up as they so choose, Alabama with four wins over top 25 teams, including a road win at No. 4 Georgia, being dropped from 4th to 10th, and on the PO cut line. If this were the opening line for this matchup in Autzen, I expect, depending on the power of the Bama brand, the line would move in favor of OBD. Accordingly, I'd place a bet on the Ducks ASAP. 11. Miami at 6. Ole Miss (-4.5) - Will Kiffin be coaching Ole Miss? If not, would the Committee, based on the Rebels' rather thin resume, keep the team at No. 6? I never discount the ability of Mari-oh-oh to pull defeat from the jaws of victory. But Miami has the roster to match up with and win in Oxford, if Carson Beck throws to his teammates and not to Ole Miss DBs. Ole Miss won a home game this season by 3 points over Wazzu. I'd gulp while taking Miami and the points. EX: B - No. 9 Notre Dame is 8-2. No. 14. Miami is 8-2. 8/31/25 - Miami 27 - Notre Dame 24. But - "Notre Dame has better losses, and we haven't compared Miami and Notre Dame head to head because the teams are not in the same grouping." 🤑🤮 Please, bring on an AQ format and kick the Committee to the curb. PS - Commissioner Yormark, do you not understand that No. 11 BYU and No. 12 Utah would be out of the PO field in favor of 11 seed Miami, or another ACC representative, and 12 seed Tulane or another G6 representative? Commissioner Phillips, would you prefer having two ACC teams qualify or for your conference to serve as cannon fodder for a Notre Dame program that refuses to share? Ruin Riley!

This Saturday, Georgia won't lose to Charlotte. The game vs GT is being played in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Dawgs will have as many, if not more, fans in attendance than GT. UGA QB Gunner Stockton has the best passing stats among SEC QBs in SEC contests this season. He has every bit of the same moxie that GT QB Haynes King has. Unlike Carson Beck, the team has Stockton's back. Tech, but for a bad, terrible, awful non-call, would have lost at Wake Forest. The close win at home over Clemson was big at the time. Now? I think that Pitt will give Tech all it can handle this Saturday. But it is a rivalry game, so ... Bama holds the champ game tiebreaker over UGA and would have to lose to Auburn for Georgia to be in the champ game. Or, Texas has to defeat A&M. If this happens, I don't know how the SEC tiebreaker would work. After last season, I think Kirby Smart would as soon play a 1st round game at home than play a 13th conference game for an SEC title. Of course, even without an SEC title, Georgia could stay ranked 4th and have a PO bye.

In this case, I think the Canes have the right to blow hard. Head-to-head? Move right along, nothing to see here. And, about two-loss Utah ahead of two-loss SC? SC's 2-point loss on the road at No. 21 Illinois stunk? The loss in a monsoon at No. 9 Notre Dame sucked? Didn't SC blow out No. 18 Michigan? Tony P, stick to your B1G PO plan guns!
