Week 8 winners and losers: USC, Clemson lead college football's most disappointing teams

The College Football Playoff is not going to feature either Clemson or USC.

The Tigers dropped their third game of 2023 in a 28-20 overtime loss to Miami while No. 18 USC lost 34-32 at home to No. 14 Utah as the Utes hit a field goal with no time remaining for the win.

Yeah

[FamiliarFace]

That will be a game to watch.

[mmichaels1970]

O-H

[FamiliarFace]

I-O!

[OKSooner]

That's fine, one wouldn't try to talk anyone out of it.

Just I'm saying that one would always hope for redemption of whatever kind for a young guy like Caleb, which would necessarily start with humility.

It's his old man who should have known better (welltodo real estate broker from suburban DC) and persisted in advising him the way he did, in the vainglorious hope of "getting into The League!". Last week, before this game, Caleb had actually said something about holding out for part-ownership of whichever NFL team would be blessed with the opportunity to draft him. Now, one wonders where THAT hare-brained idea came from...

[mmichaels1970]

He figured that rabid Notre Dame fans betting with their hearts shifted the line by three points from where it should be so he always bet against them to take advantage of that.

That’s genius.

Did the old man tell him to put “Blank Utah” on his fingernails?

[Redmen4ever]

love to see Liberty v James Madison (but ain’t gonna happen)

love to see AF in a New Years Day bowl game

Michigan v Ohio State, Nov. 25, shaping up as the biggest game of the season

[FamiliarFace]

Someone could do that with rabid fans of any team.

Oh wait, isn’t that what Vegas does for the most part?

[FamiliarFace]

Did he do that?

[OKSooner]

Was it a B12 crew? Someone has a lot of pull, you know.

[OKSooner]

One would have no way of knowing the answer to that question, so one would assume NOT, and that he did it of his own volition if he did.

Did he really do that?

[AppyPappy]

Let’s not forget UVA beating UNC. Talk about an upset. UVA is horrible.
Ironic. UVA and Virginia Tech are terrible but James Madison and Randolph-Macon are undefeated

[dfwgator]

UVA over UNC may be the upset of the season.

[dfwgator]

Now I want Texas to beat Houston, but in baseball.

[nesnah]

Let’s not forget UVA beating UNC. Talk about an upset.

Any day UNCheat is beaten is a good day indeed.

For a few weeks I've had a suspicion of the sports MSM regarding the UM Wolverines program, at least from what I've seen it is just not right. We know that Yahoo! went totally left years ago and this article above did not disappoint.

Seems to me the bloated NCAA has been targeting Harbaugh the same way the MSM has targeted Trump, stealing signals?  You have to be kidding.  The Wolverines have scored over 100 points the last two weeks alone while giving up 7, and that's just the beginning. Oh please.  NCAA teams watch films of the opposition all week and because some guy goes to a game does not mean a school is cheating and steals a game.

And this from FanNation:  'It Seems To Me Like Selective Prosecution': CFB Analyst Believes NCAA Is Targeting Jim Harbaugh"

Excerpt from article above from Yahoo:   "...Imagine how much more lopsided the game would have been if MSU did not change its signals."

Just pathetic. (And BTW, it has nothing to do IMHO with sports or football, it has to with being wildly successful exactly like Trump, gotta' get the guy on top. Pretty sure it has to do with total success, the Wolverines will hit a 1,000 wins in a few weeks, the first college team to do this into three centuries now. Most wins all-time, highest winning percentage and attendance records with the biggest stadium in America and none of these records will be broken in our lifetimes. Blah Blah Blah I HATE THE MSM.)

[mmichaels1970]

Someone could do that with rabid fans of any team.

Yes and Yes. But I’ve observed that Notre Dame fans are “next level” in that regard.

[God luvs America]

USC was never going anywhere this year. It is Caleb Williams and everyone else.

Ditto for Clemson as Dabo Sweeney has not figured out the QB position since Trevor Lawrence.

Then there’s this:
