TT up 13-0 with 2:44 left in the 3rd. Good for TT.

I can envision a future where NFL teams provide "moral support" spaces on sidelines where overly sensitive players moms can console their tearful child after blown plays and losses. Or, maybe not...

You might be right, but I have my doubts. While CW's physical talents are undeniable, his demeanor and entitled attitude likely won't be overlooked.

The long list of problems at USuC falls on Riley. Blaming the shortcomings of your own failed leadership and disconnected culture on a subordinate further shows that Riley isn't the man. Could USuC have learned anything from Oregons recent coaching journey? Oddly enough, USuC should have fired Riley and promoted Grinch to HC. On another note, is Caleb Williams even draftable? My money is no, he is not, not right now anyway. At this point CW is looking like a bigger flame-out than Johnny "football" Manziel. If CW were smart he'd jump in the portal and get an extra solid year under a coach who can actually lead and coach.

The top eight teams in the College Football Playoff rankings all won, albeit with varying ease and against opponents of varying strength. That means the eye test comes into play in terms of trying to figure out what four teams will make the playoff and who solidified their standing for a New Year's Six game. What wins were the most impressive? Georgia hanging on at home to beat Missouri? Alabama winning at home over LSU? Washington's wild win over Caleb Williams and USC? Michigan and Oregon rolling over Purdue and Cal, respectively All times Eastern College Football Playoff CFP National Championship presented by AT&T NRG Stadium (Houston) Monday, Jan. 8, 7:30 p.m., ESPN and the ESPN App Bonagura: Georgia vs. Michigan Schlabach: Georgia vs. Michigan CFP Semifinal at the Rose Bowl Game presented by Prudential Rose Bowl (Pasadena, California) Monday, Jan. 1, 5 p.m., ESPN and the ESPN App Bonagura: Michigan vs. Florida State Schlabach: Michigan vs. Oregon CFP Semifinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl Caesars Superdome (New Orleans) Monday, Jan. 1, 8:45 p.m., ESPN and the ESPN App Bonagura: Georgia vs. Washington Schlabach: Georgia vs. Florida State CFP breakdown Bonagura: After the first College Football Playoff rankings were released last week, it was tempting to adjust the bowl projections using that information. However, it's still worth noting that these are mostly an attempt at projecting what things will look like at the end of the season, while the rankings represent how the committee evaluated the teams to this point. So, even though Ohio State topped the first rankings, the Buckeyes continue to be on the outside looking in for my projections. Setting aside the objectively hilarious (for unaffected parties) sign-stealing scandal going on in Ann Arbor, Michigan has been the most dominant team this season. And from a playoff perspective, the most likely scenario is that it's either the Wolverines or Ohio State getting in from the Big Ten -- though you could drum up a set of circumstances where both get in. From there, it's pretty simple. Georgia is still the obvious choice from the SEC, and the same goes for Florida State from the ACC. From the Pac-12, undefeated Washington is in the same boat, but one-loss Oregon would nearly be assured of a playoff spot if it wins out and avenges its loss to UW in the conference title game. play Schlabach: I made one notable change to my top four, replacing Washington with Oregon, even though the Huskies defeated the Ducks 36-33 at home Oct. 14. I think Oregon has looked like the more complete team since then, and it might be more equipped to handle the stretch run because of its defense. Two-time defending national champion Georgia remains No. 1, followed by Michigan, Oregon and Florida State. Washington has looked only so-so the past three games with closer-than-expected victories over Arizona State (15-7) and Stanford (42-33) and a track meet win at USC (52-42). The Huskies surrendered 515 yards to the Trojans. I don't know if Washington is good enough on defense to remain unbeaten in its three-game finish to the regular season: home against No. 18 Utah, at No. 16 Oregon State and home against rival Washington State in the Apple Cup. Oregon's regular-season finish is a little more manageable: home against USC, at Arizona State and home against rival Oregon State. Georgia won the first game of its three-game SEC gauntlet, posting its 26th consecutive victory, 30-21 over No. 12 Missouri. Up next is another home game, against No. 10 Ole Miss, followed by road contests at No. 17 Tennessee and surging Georgia Tech. Florida State didn't look great without its star receivers, but it pulled away from Pittsburgh for a 24-7 win on the road. Michigan gave up more than 10 points for the first time this season but still walloped Purdue, 41-13. Ohio State might be the No. 1 team in the CFP selection committee's rankings, but I have them at No. 5. I just don't think the Buckeyes are good enough to defeat the Wolverines at the Big House in their regular-season finale.

I have xfinity for internet and it includes Peacock (ad free) for free for at least a year.

On CGD set yesterday Pat (I'm a 12 year old) McAfee was riling up the crowd with a "fricken*ck the Ducks" chant, and also basically stating that there's no way Oregon wins tomorrow in Utah... Well played Pat!

Washington flat out SUCKED last night. Without their servile PAC12 refs this game goes to ASU.

Is CFB a game of momentum or not? If it is then bad calls by refs can certainly affect the outcome of games. If not... Pac-12 mum on 3 late hits to Oregon players WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Each of the hits were noted by announcers during the game telecasts, including in last week’s game against Washington, but the conference has declined to comment publicly.

Good News: This is the final year of being subjected to the atrocity know as the PAC12 referees. Bad News: We have to endure 6/7 more games of this pathetic incompetence.

Canzano is too provincial a writer to keep up with Oregon and it's (national/international) brand. Conversely, he's a perfect fit for PSU and the Beavs. He can keep his "underachiever clown party" focused on his local audience, the ducks have moved on to bigger and better opportunities.

Sad news. I remember meeting Russ in 1972 when I was 9 years old. Russ parachuted into my hometown of Gilchrist to meet up with my sister (also a duck), if I remember correctly they hung out for the day then my sis drove them back to Pleasant Hill/Eugene. Meeting Russ was a big deal for me as I was a huge track and field fan. I remember talking with Russ about throwing the javelin and thinking what a cool guy he was. RIP Russ.

Let's revisit this topic in about 3 weeks.

I'm guessing CO will be favored?

Until the Ducks defeat WA, UT and USC I don't see much, if any movement in the polls. At this time we're lucky to be ranked at #13. Wins are wins, but ugly wins and nail biters only count toward rankings when you're playing higher ranked teams. Just keep winning. Go Ducks!

Are you referring the the Wisconsin "jump around"? The single dumbest thing I've seen at a CFB game, ever.

Colorado might actually be good.

Not before the condoms get an eye full!

I'd like to suggest putting the next one on the south facing side of a building in the southern most part of downtown LA.

The most retarded thing I've seen in a long while.

This is what I'd call "enhanced optimism", nothing wrong with that!

I wonder if any of these fuming Beavs remember Ed Ray? You know, Larry Scotts biggest advocate.

Until an actual contract is announced there is nothing more to discuss, except the continued exits of schools honest enough with themselves to admit that there is no there-there.

Great, the CEO group, the people responsible for hiring and overseeing LS and GK are going to meet. Surely this means great things are on the horizon!
