Coach Pete stepping down at Washington. Completely out of left field.

Local reporters apparently saying it is to "re-charge" and that he is staying on as an advisory role to the program.

Interesting that he is 55 years old....same age Dan Hawkins (who first hired Petersen) stepped away from Colorado, Kubiak walked away from the Broncos, Stoops walked away from OU and Urban walked from OSU.
The difference between those and Urban is dont think Kubiak or Stoops will go back into coaching. Urban "retired" bc the NCAA came calling and he fell on the sword. He'll go to ND once they fire Kelly.

I still think Urban ends up at USC.

He would have been at USC right now if they didn't have to replace everyone in the administration. Only a matter of time before they cave to the alumni demands and fire Helton. They can claim they want to be a clean program and school as much as they want everyone knows they want to be a winning program regardless of what it takes.

Clock is ticking on the new AD to get the program competing for national titles, he has had 30 days. If they lose the bowl game to Iowa the AD will be getting visits and phone calls from boosters and alumni asking what the hell he thinks he is doing keeping Helton on.

USC got a hell of a lot to do before they can fire Helton and commit the resources to Urban. Yeah, Helton’s on borrowed time but he’s lucky that USC is such a cluster fuck at the moment. The boosters essentially fired Helton already like 2 weeks ago and yet he’s still there. I think he’ll last into next season.

At this point, can we collectively agree to stop including Oklahoma in the playoff?

Every year the media builds them up to be something resembling a playoff team and then they get their shit kicked in.....

Otherwise known as the Notre Dame treatment.

After falling asleep half way through the second quarter, I really wasn't expecting to wake up to a Clemson win. Looked like Ohio State were going to demolish them.

Joe Burrow is stupid good. This might be the best single season by any player i’ve seen.
I agree, and it feels like there is some prejudice against LSU players from the “experts”. Before the game he was suggested to be the #2 pick in the draft. Surely he’s number one by some margin!

Who suggested him as #2? Burrow cemented #1 overall a few months ago.

That’s what I thought too. I was confused when one of the stat graphics had him as #2... I’m a fair weather fan when it comes to college so there is a chance I misunderstood! I am a Brit after all and I was trying to explain what I understand of the football rules to my German girlfriend!

LSU are just too good. Clemson has nothing for them. Lawrence is having the worst game of his career and Joe Burrow is having his normal great game. Refs not helping much either making horrific calls

LSU are nailing it, absolutely. Lawrence is weak today and he is still young, could this be his Tebow moment and propel him to the next level?

Are the Bengals stupid enough to pass on Joe Burrow with the #1 pick?

I very much doubt it, why would they miss out... It’s a shame that the draft is structured the way it is, I would love to see Burrow succeed Brady at the Patriots.
