    This is a wild hunch but I have a feeling if Clemson loses a one score game to Notre Dame the committee will put them at 4 just to avoid the A&M-Alabama rematch.

    And possibly get a clemson nd re-re-match?

    1. Alabama vs 4. Clemson

    2. Notre Dame vs 3. Ohio State

    and if Notre Dame vs Clemson III happens, it happens. The first game was great. My scenario (a one score game) would indicate the sequel was at least a good if not great game. Three Clemson-Notre Dame games would still be better to the committee than seeing A&M get buttfucked by Alabama again.

    Now we have an Irishman.

    Jon Gallagher from Atlanta United.

    Was bummed Atlanta traded him. I thought he was a solid depth piece. It's hard to parse anything from Atlanta's season because it was off the charts bad, but he was always a bright spot when he played and led the team in goals with a whopping four. He'll be a good addition for Austin. I'm not sure if he's an every match starting kind of player, but he definitely developed into a good player in Atlanta so it's a nice pick up for Austin.

  3. This is the first real ship is sinking roster move. Seniors opting out of bowl games is whatever. Cosmi is a potential first round pick. Teams are going to see what Ossai did against OK State with one arm and fall in love with him in the interview process so he'll boost his stock. Eagles was wildly inconsistent and was suspended last year. I don't think the measurables are enough to offset that. CDC really fucked up.

    Vanderbilt vs. UGA cancelled.  Assuming the 3 scheduled regular season games get played this weekend, the SEC will have played 68 of 70 scheduled games.

     

    Texas A&M vs Georgia is the game to make, but A&M stands to lose everything if they do. As it stands I have no problem putting 6-0 Ohio State in over an 8-1 A&M team whose only good win was against Florida and lost by four touchdowns to the team they'd probably be playing in the first round. Instead of manning up and demanding the best opponent this weekend they're fine taking the easy win vs Tennessee.

    Simple answer is he’s coming back. 

    Right, but that's my point. Leaving it open to interpretation, which he very much did in the statement is just bad if he's staying. Just say he's staying.

  6. Either way CDC showed massive incompetence today. Either Herman is definitely coming back and he left it vague in his statement or he isn't safe and he released a statement that does nobody any good. It's stunningly bad.

  7. So either Tom Herman is coming back and CDC didn't explicitly state it in his statement.

    or

    CDC purposely released a vague statement about Tom Herman's future that does nothing positive for him, Herman or the program.

    Either way this seems like a pretty incompetent day for him. I continue to be unimpressed by Chris Del Conte.

    He's signed through 2025 with a speculated salary of at least $10m/yr. Anyways the NFL coaching experience is far better than CFB because recruiting consumes so much time. 

    Yeah I'm with you. Like I said, it's highly unlikely. I think he's the first call you make if Urban says no. He'd probably say no, but I'm just outlining why I think his system would do well in college.

    Can anyone give me a good reason why they get their dick hard about Shanahan? What makes us think he could recruit or coach the college game? I get that he's a young coach who took his team to the SB but he's spent his entire career in the NFL

    He's a HELL of a coach. I think he's prodigious when it comes to coaching offense. He excels at getting his playmakers the ball in space to make plays. He turned Matt Ryan into an MVP on a historically good Falcons offense.. He made a Super Bowl with Jimmy G. He has an injury decimated 49ers team hanging around in a tough division.

    I think what his system does well would translate to college because as I said it's about getting playmakers open and getting them the ball. I think it's the kind of thing that would appeal to high school talent and he clearly knows what it takes to be successful in the NFL.

    It's a moot point though.As mentioned above he doesn't appear to have any interest in recruiting and there's never been a sense he even has a little bit of an interest in coaching college ball. He's very likely an NFL lifer.
