Sam is out and let see who the real Helton HC is, the true telling moment will be next season. If Helton does what elite coaches do without Sam then extend his contract at the end of next season. Lynn should force to let go Ronnie, Callaway and Baxter. Helton needs big time OC too.

Let's go!!

9 and 4 record... they lose to us and only go back 1 spot...

Just because they beat ND... please they should ranked 19... behind Washington State...

Play MERCER.
Play fewer conference games.
Play fewer road games.
Play NO OOC road games.
Don't Play the CCG....stay home where you can't lose!

If you play a tougher schedule...
YOU ARE A CHUMP.

1 Clemson

2 Oklahoma

3 Georgia

4 Alabama

5 Ohio State

6 Wisconsin

...you let in two teams from the same conference, one of which didn't even appear in the conference championship game and is known to game the schedule?

The committee members either have no integrity or are completely incompetent. They deserve a public shaming.

Who are they?

ESPN's article is USC still on the outside.....lol. I've never seen anything like this. The concerted effort to sway the committee. I'm gonna laugh my ass off if the committee sticks to the criteria they set and chooses USC. It's a real test of the committee's integrity.

Our defensive line will Feast on this guy and even our secondary should have multiple interceptions assuming he even tries to pass the ball.

If OSU makes the the playoffs, we play Wisky. If OSU does not make the playoffs, we will play them.

It's like a slap in the face. We're not being included. IF I'm wrong, I would be shocked.

fourth team is going to be Ohio State after watching espn all morning

How does SC stand with Bru McKoy of Mater Dei?... I believe he is a 2019 recruit but was wondering if the staff is pursuing him since he is one of the top players in the country at his position.

HATED it ever since they used it to SCREW USC out of the 1978 National Championship....

When USC finished 2nd to Alabama (even tho they beat them on the field!)
Why?
Becuz Alabama had a "better loss"
LOL.

Don't tell me who has the better loss.
Show me who has better WINS.

This year, Ohio St had 3 wins better than Alabama's best win (17 LSU who lost to Troy!)

The "eye test" is a joke.
If that is your criteria -- why bother playing the games?

Why not try like hell to NOT play tough games vs. tough competition?
(Which Alabama does every yr btw -- fewer conf games, fewer road games, no OOC road games)
Why not schedule Mercer?
Why play the CCG? Stay home where you can't lose!

Some important, resonating thoughts from the AD on CH & the program.

The arm on this kid is unbelievable... He throws a beautiful tight spiral is accurate has legs and is college-ready...

....good luck with that. In the LA Times this morning:

Swann said he would not determine whether Helton makes changes to his coaching staff in the offseason.

“Our head coach is in charge of his staff,” he said. “He’s the head coach. He builds his team. I don’t call plays. I don’t hire assistant coaches. I think it’s wrong.”

That's four-star RB Markese Stepp. Stepp's father played football with Deland McCullough at Miami of Ohio and Stepp has told us previously that McCullough is a friend of the family. Stepp holds a scholarship offer from USC and the Trojans have been recruiting him. I'm reaching out to him now.

Ohio State or Wisconsin? The way the current game between those two are going at the moment either of them would be a challenge.

ESPNU

Fight On!

We think we know what it is to suffer through a bad season, but how about 57 bad seasons in a row? That’s been the fate of New Mexico State fans until today when they won their 6th game 22-17 against South Alabama to even their record and become bowl eligible for the first time since 1960. Congratulations for winning and persevering for 57 years! It’s amazing they even have a program. A real testimony to the fans! As an aside could you imagine the discussions on that board after 57 years of losing......yikes!

nothing like the law of probabilities biting you in the ass

This would be a great year for an 8 team playoff. I’d love to see Darnold and this team get a crack at it right now. WR corps has come around. D playing well. Wish we at lease got a chance.

One spot for Bama, tOSU, or SC. Time for Clay to get on SportsCenter and make a pitch:

-- Conf. Champ
-- Best SOS of the three
-- No bye
-- Undefeated in Nov. and Dec.
-- Undefeated at home
-- Losses occurred on the road to Top 25 teams
-- Losses caused by significant injuries at significant positions
-- Team is healthy now
-- WR corps has matured and established chemistry with Sam
-- Sam playing terrific down the stretch
-- Bama played one less game and had no risk of losing or suffering injuries this weekend since they were sitting at home
-- West Coast includes many of the largest TV markets in the country -- LA, SF, SD, Phoenix, Seattle, Portland, Denver
-- Eyeball test and SOS go hand-in-hand

Almost no game experience for a backup QB. If Darnold goes, game 2 at Stanford could be ugly
