Man, eff this guy...

And that reason is that Alabama's two best WRs tore their ACLs in the postseason and their replacements were garbage in the NCG. Alabama runs away with that game with Williams and Metchie. Regarding the game today -- I will say this is the worst Alabama team I can remember. Enjoy it while it lasts because they're bringing in, like, ten five-stars this cycle. Still shocking how badly they mismanaged the clock at the end before their FG attempt.

Not sure about KC or Atlanta but at Florida State, the band initiates it. And they do it far more often than the Braves or Chiefs.

Two of the worst calls I've ever seen in one weekend.

This is such a terrible way to look at it. They were losing by six, they made a play they needed to put themselves in a position to have a chance to win but get absolutely screwed by one of the worst calls I've ever seen -- the type of call that genuinely makes you question the integrity of the sport -- and it's "welp, was a bad call but ya' shouldn't have been losing"? Hell no.

This is why I stay up 'til all hours of the night on Saturdays watching Pac 12 after dark.

Maybe Harsin? But I don't know that any do. Jeff Scott's a good bet for any week from here on out, though. But they actually looked competent against Cincy this week.

Better record than Oklahoma seems likely. They're down bad. You would expect their defense to be competent with BV but... nope.

This one felt like it was coming. Even last year with a nine win season, felt like they fell off a bit. And this year, they're legitimately bad. Plus, they have a pretty natural replacement already on staff in Jim Leonhard.

Harbaugh outsmarts himself every once in a while. It was bad enough going for it but then emptying the backfield kind of eliminated the run threat from Lamar. The crappy thing is ESPN frames it as a costly int costing them the game when that wasn't on Lamar at all.

Zero chance Herm got fired on the field. Him and Ray Anderson are great friends, which is probably the only reason Herm survived this long.

Alex Smith had a very good career. Don't know how anybody can call him a bust with a straight face, tbh. In his seven seasons in San Francisco, he had three different head coaches and seven different offensive coordinators. How does anybody succeed in that dysfunctional of an organization? From 2011 on he was fantastic. Edit to add that I don't think there's any shame in being worse than Patrick Mahomes. Honestly, what kind of criticism is that?

Idiots. I guess it's their money and not mine but if you wait, like, three weeks, it's $7.5m less. Your season's already lost, your recruiting is already eff'd... what does firing him now help?

Seems a bit harsh. Defense played well as did the offensive line. In fact, I thought the team played pretty damn well in general with the exception of Richardson, who happened to be absolutely awful. Wasn't thrilled with the playcalling but I don't know what to do when the defense shows zero respect for the pass and the QB is too inside-of-his-own-head to make them pay. Not sure why they didn't design more runs for him early (or at all). Maybe with Miller being out they're just being super safe? Also had some bad luck with the long TD that probably wasn't a catch but couldn't be overturned and the world's worst roughing the passer call setting them up for another TD.

Thought the Florida State-LSU game was the best case scenario for a rival of both teams. Neither team looked any good and LSU has some serious trainwreck proposal. Not only did they look bad, their best player looked completely disinterested in the game and scrubbed his social media of all LSU mentions within an hour of the game. Add in Kelly's propensity for throwing his players under the bus and things could get spicy. FSU does look improved, specifically Jordan Travis, and should manage bowl eligibility in a terrible ACC, but their offensive line is still terrible. Neither Duquesne nor LSU showed a whole lot of interest in tackling, though. And if Travis misses any time, they're screwed. But as bad as LSU looked, if Kayshon Boutte puts in any effort, or if their special teams weren't hot trash, they still win. Brian Polian is the only coach that followed Kelly from Notre Dame.

Big win for Florida! Anthony Richardson's going to be a problem.

Well, this is the second time in, like, five years they've lost to ODU. That program's really dropped off a cliff.

Feel like there's more to the story here.

Apparently it was extra layers of vinyl (see tweet below). Just a guess but I imagine it was on the high end of the scanner tolerances and legal in that regard, but NASCAR considers the "modification" itself illegal. Again, that's a guess.

Chase Elliott won today without leading a single lap after Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch were DQ'd following post race inspection.

I would love it if they could give players a slice of the TV deals. Don't know how that'd work with non-revenue sports, though.

I'd wager their athletic program would be worse off if they cut out the sport brining in 2/3 of their athletic revenue. The football program itself is probably profitable, even if marginally so.

How do they get UNC and Duke, though? $50m buyout before even considering the Grant of Rights.

Penn State/USC sounds fun to me. I'd rather this than argue about G5 vs P5 for the rest of eternity. I think a clean split between the two has become necessary, unfortunately.
