Irish with 17 points in 52 seconds of clock time between end of first half and beginning of second.

So if this holds up, the final four will be the 5, 6, 7, and 8 seeds. The first round bye has caused a lot of rust IMO.

The problem with NFL guys, especially if they have been there most of their careers, is they may not do well in recruiting. They also may not be able to adjust to college rosters where they don't have elite talent and have to make up for it in other ways.

But the teams are still ranked preseason and early by the AP and coaches which heavily influence where teams open at when they release the first CFP rankings....

Aaaaaand crickets. Anyone got an update? I dont see anything online about a commitment

Keller was interviewed a few days ago and provided some insight on Bud. It seems he's essentially been the de facto LB coach with Adibi for bowl prep. It is a little bit striking that it almost sounds like he's learning LB for the first time talking about Foster's instruction. Maybe we'll see something from Wood and Keller in the bowl game to give us hope for next year.
Talk of Foster starting at 1:37:

Great news. Even if he's not actively involved in play calling, I would be most excited if Bud was able to be in the box on game days to help diagnose what the offense is doing and advise the DC on possible adjustments. Bud might have been the best ever at making halftime adjustments, which the team has been sorely missing since he retired.

Right now there are 16 Big12 teams, 17 ACC, 18 B1G, and 16 SEC teams, and ND. That means it the top level there are 68 teams ... which sucks as a number. So OSUw and WSU come back, we add Boise and whomever else to get 72.

So 4 conferences, 18 teams, two divisions of 9, or we really consolidate and have two conferences (SEC/Big10) with 6 divisons of 6. This means everyone divisions winner gets a playoff berth. Make it a 16 teams play off and add the top G5 and 3 at larges and be done with it.

This is what I was talking about. With conferences this big, you have to go to a pod format. 4 pods of 4-6 teams each. Incorporate the conference race into the playoffs. Either that or more smaller conferences.
