Kalani Sitake on the roughing the kicker penalty in 2OT in the loss at UCF: "From what I saw, I don't think that's a personal foul/roughing the kicker. But we still didn't score."

I asked Lincoln Riley if USC’s loss to Wisconsin was the sort that requires looking inward and doing things differently. “You have to own it,” Riley said, “but this is the same team that played a very different brand of football at Penn State two weeks ago.”

The home/road splits and schedule misses within the the Big 12's five ranked teams (BYU, Utah, TTU, Hou, Az) is extraordinarily consequential

Arizona has opened up as a 7.5-point underdog for its road game against Texas Tech on Halloween.

Long flight to get 7 minutes and 13 seconds of post game interviews.

This is where the Big Ten's lousy performance (and ambition) in nonconference play will really hurt it. IU played no one. Nebraska played no one. USC played no one. Its best win is at Penn State...which played no one. Iowa played the worst Iowa State team in a minute...and won by 3. OSU lost to Texas Oregon lost to Okla State Minnesota got b-lasted by Mississippi State. Wisconsin wasn't quite ready for four quarters of Notre Dame. UCLA and NW sort of played someone (Cal and Colorado)...decisions that will help!

Arizona is a win over Iowa State from controlling its own destiny ... or at least winning out and forcing the Big 12 tiebreaker into the 37th level of hell

USC seems to have the same issues year after year. 1) undisciplined 2) poor OL play 3) bad special teams 4) overall lack of toughness

Column: Cody Campbell predicted Texas Tech would run it up on Cincinnati in the Sorsby Bowl. His mouth wrote a check Tech couldn’t cash in an embarrassing loss that alters the playoff race. bit.ly/4z1ta6a
