Wonderful to run into the lovely Barbara Dooley as she drove alone and parked at Sanford Stadium earlier today. Upon me opening her door, she immediately began to cry. "I'm a wreck today. It's my first time coming without him." The great Vince Dooley died Oct. 28, 2022. 💔💔💔

Shouldn't Dabo Swinney be somewhat familiar with the CFP selection process by now? WTH is this guy talking about? Clemson played a crap schedule. Not their fault the rest of the ACC sucks. But win your in? Are his feelings hurt because they're not No. 1? Ridiculous.

Horrific call right there. Big, too. Travon Walker called for late hit diving for a tackle with QB barely outside the boundary on third-down play. Would've been short but gives Baylor first down 8:44, 4th quarter. Brewer still down and had nothing to do with Walker's attempt.
