Saturday’s LSU-South Carolina game will be moving from Columbia to Baton Rouge, due to nearby flooding and its effect on city logistics. Garnet And Black Attack explains why the game could not be allowed to remain scheduled in Columbia:
Why LSU-South Carolina moved from Columbia to Baton Rouge
Good morning. It’s your wakeup roundup of college football stuff.
Eighteen dams have failed, and eight more are in danger. There are collapsing roads and flooded neighborhoods; we have had too many deaths along with some heroic rescues. It's a nightmare and it's not going to be fixed by Saturday; we have a long, grueling haul ahead of us.
When you take it all in (and it's hard to do even for the areas of the Palmetto State not as hard hit as the Midlands), the handwriting is on the wall that the game should not proceed at Williams-Brice Stadium. USC fans should embrace that with as much good grace as we can muster. After all, we are South Carolinians first.
Our Selection Committee reconvened Tuesday, and the board of Playoff contenders is getting wider by the week. Ohio State is almost completely absent; Northwestern gets more votes. And it’s not the SEC or the Big Ten getting two teams into our final four. Rather, the Big 12.
Florida, which has faced arguably the toughest route to 5-0, is officially in the field from some of the Committee members.
Toledo, which tops our weekly Underdogs Poll, might be the country’s best bet to finish undefeated.
#TalkinBoutTheNoles. It’s Florida State-Miami Week, and the Hurricanes’ recent struggles have done little to quiet the sniping between fans. So Miami made a John Oliver-style website for Florida State fans to send their unsolicited comments.
Miami fans will probably have their own list of things to say Saturday. “Fire Al Golden” will be high on that list, but could a win change their tune?
Leonard Fournette is the obvious Heisman frontrunner. Georgia’s Nick Chubb remains in play. Ohio State’s Ezekiel Elliott could be in contention. The last time a running back won and three backs were among the top five vote-getters: 1995, when Eddie George won with Darnell Autry and Troy Davis in contention.
One True Champion (or maybe three). Baylor annihilated its non-conference schedule, as always. TCU remains strong. And Oklahoma’s win over West Virginia confirmed that the Sooners are every bit as good as the Bears and Horned Frogs.
Kansas State has run out of quarterbacks and might have to turn to a 300-pound defensive tackle under center.
Charlie Strong is administering a dumpster fire in Austin that is absolutely not Mack Brown's fault. ;)
Everyone knows leprechauns shrink in water. PODCAST AIN'T PLAYED NOBODY tackles Clemson, which ain't played nobody.
He's only concerned about the PLAYOFF? Jim Mora responded to the news that star linebacker Myles Jack has left UCLA to prepare for the NFL Draft by questioning the amount of tape scouts will have to work with.
“Even the Persians didn’t sack Athens that hard, Nick.” That can be only one man’s quote: HATIN’ ASS SPURRIER IS BACK.
Mock draft! “The only surefire first-round quarterback” plays for Cal.
Mike London? Hot Seat? Get outta town! Even the most steadfast supporters of the Virginia coach and football Rasputin are questioning whether he can succeed at Virginia. Yes, he failed to take advantage of a poor division. He also failed to make a bowl game in his last four seasons.
