The reason Alabama and Clemson are pretty much locked into the title game year after year is they are somewhat decent defensively. But yeah look at all the top 25 scores today and it's all piss poor defense. Hit that over every game.

Georgia would be the one has a great defense and are always in the running.

Miami had looked very impressive this year so far but Clemson is on another planet.

Even though Miami got crushed I thought they showed alot of heart and signs of being good in the future. Especially the defense which was hard hitting and they stuffed that last FU touchdown at the 1, even though they were down 27. That build character.

Overall I thought the officials let both teams (OU/Texas) play downfield, there were lots of times they might have thrown flags but didn't. I was okay with the officiating overall. After the last few weeks I was beginning to question Rattler's maturity and decision making. Thought he was better this week but he still has much to learn but considering he's a freshman I think he's getting better. And after his benching he came back and was very good. His benching also showed me how talented he really is. Tanner Mordecai doesn't have near the arm strength Rattler does, nor the accuracy. OU's defence was nothing to write home about but 3 takeaways made the difference and they have not had that in a while.
Watched Clemson-Miami as well. Clemson can play defence.

So my first thought is Florida was exposed to Covid during their road game at College Station due to the amount of fans in the stadium. However it sounds like a number of players were experiencing 'cold like' symptoms prior to travel but did not report them to the team.
Interesting listening to discussion about Nick Saban this morning. One thing I did not know is he will not be able to participate/coach in the game this weekend from home via Zoom/whatever. Watching practice remotely is fine but no communication is allowed with the team during the game. This is as per SEC electronic rules which are designed to protect opposing teams from outside influence once the game has started.

The Lawyer Who Took on the NFL Over Concussions Has a New Strategy That Could Devastate the NCAA
Jason Luckasevic was the first lawyer to sue the NFL over head injuries, leading to a massive class-action settlement he describes as a "debacle." Now he's taking on the NCAA "case by case by case" in courts across the country.
https://www.si.com/college/2020/10/1...es-daily-cover
Quote:
In truth, the NFL has been little more than inconvenienced. Estimates put the league’s payout from the April 2016 settlement at $1 billion over 65 years, more than manageable for a business that generated $16 billion in revenue in 2018 alone. So far, only 5% of the more than 20,000 eligible former players have been paid, due to the Escherian legal and medical gantlet each must navigate to receive money. Luckasevic refers to the settlement as a “quagmire debacle.”
In the NCAA, though, he sees a second chance. Luckasevic believes that, when the NFL suit became a class action, big-time lawyers came in and served themselves more than the former players. Now he’s trying a different strategy, taking on the NCAA in a string of individual brain-injury cases filed in state courts. Onyshko’s was the first of eight suits that Luckasevic and his partners have brought against the NCAA in four states. Five others are being prepared, the lawyer says, with more to come once the court backlog caused by the pandemic eases. “We’re gonna take [the NCAA] on case by case by case,” he says.
The gambit is risky, according to legal experts: The lawsuits will be expensive, time-consuming and as difficult to win as a road game in Tuscaloosa. Luckasevic and his colleagues must persuade jurors that the NCAA should have known playing football could lead to long-term brain disease well before all the research and attention over the last 15 years.
But those legal experts also say this: With the right jury, the cases can be won. And if Luckasevic pulls off even a single victory, the ripple effects could threaten not just the NCAA’s finances, but also its very operational model. Especially at a time when the organization—beset by a revenue-depleting pandemic, congressional scrutiny, and pushes from conferences, schools and athletes for greater power—has never been more vulnerable.
Gabe Feldman, the director of the Tulane Law School sports law program, puts it this way: “These can be incredibly dangerous cases for the NCAA.”

So what exactly is the NCAA plan for COVID? It seems to be just wait til people get sick and suspend games til they’re not sick. It seems like whatever plans they have for actually stopping people from getting it in the first place just aren’t working. (Compared to hockey, basketball or heck even baseball)
Anyway I think this shows there was never really a prevention plan here just a treatment plan. Which I think could open them to lawsuits and such down the line because it seems clear the danger was never really cared about here, only the perception of danger.

No clue what Arkansas' record will be at the end of this season, but hats off to Sam Pittman and that staff for the improvements they have made in the Razorbacks' program in such a short time and during a challenging one as well.

Arkansas looking pleasantly better than advertised this season, especially given they are only playing a conference schedule this year and they are in arguably the toughest conference in the country.

Petty much the same as it is for anything else:
