I don’t think it’s a bad hire for them. He’s a much better fit in the B1G than than the SEC

Now I’ve never met the man, but we have enough mutual acquaintances that I have no reason to believe that is not 100% true.

Seems so unlike Brian Kelly to not care for others' lives.

Keep in mind LA county is by far the largest county in the US, so those numbers on their own don't actually mean all that much. That said, nobody should be gathering for any reason until the vaccine is widespread, and taking a hard line stance to be careless isn't a good look.

It definitely fits a narrative about him. There were multiple stories around him while at Arkansas where he would stand up recruits on visits and instead would be seen loaded at bars or casinos and being inappropriate with girls half his age. It’s an easy stereotype to call him lazy and slovenly but the stories out there definitely back it up.

That interception Northwestern just pulled off was unbelievable

horsefeathers it. I hope Clemson blows the doors off ND.

That might work for you too

Zero chance ND makes the playoff after this ass kicking. As long as Bama wins A&M is in. Hopefully the committee rewards a 6-win playoff team with the right to play Alabama. Let us have a shot at Clemson.

Welp, I got fooled again.

[Andy]

Trevor Lawrence is great, but he doesn't explain why ND's offensive line is getting mauled or why they fucked up two different scoring chances early in the game, one of which could've made it 10-0.

 

Clemson apparently was doing the LeBron James thing where they horsefeathers around so you get some hope, then turn on Supernova Mode.

Florida had 1st and goal from the 1 or 2 with 1:20 left. The clock started to run after a review. For some reason, they snapped the ball with 20 seconds on the play clock rather than letting it run down to 2. They scored on the first play and gave Bama plenty of time to drive down for a TD before the half. Bama got their TD with 6 seconds left.

That’s just common courtesy

According to composite computer ratings this morning, the top 4 are Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson and Oklahoma. Which...I'd honestly be okay with for a playoff. Any other team, save Cincinnati or Coastal Carolina, obviously, had a shot to either beat one of those teams or put together an impressive enough conference season to be in the conversation. ND of course did beat Clemson earlier but didn't look competitive yesterday and another round of ND-Clemson would be kinda boring.

 

Rest of the top 10 by computer composite rating:

 

5. Notre Dame

6. Texas A&M

7. Georgia

8. Cincinnati

9. BYU

10. Indiana

Whatever the point spread is for Bama v ND: LAY EM

 

Bama is going to obliterate them.

The only reason I even want to be in the game is that everyone in America shares this attitude, so almost any competitiveness at all will be something of a perception win.

 

But who am I kidding, it's Brian Kelly away from home against a really good team, we know how this will end

1 Alabama v 4 ND

2 Clemson v 3 Ohio State

CFP sucks. Until it's a competition and not a money only enterprise, who cares?

You know, the BCS sucked, but at least it was objective. I know that Bama, Clemson and OSU are almost certainly the 3 best teams followed by a bunch of flawed but similar teams,, but it honestly doesn't feel like a non-P5 team even has a legit chance.

I'm not sure why the thought didn't occur to me before but it's increasingly obvious that the reason they didn't just go BCS x2 was that that might result in a non power team sneaking in and they couldn't have that.
