I believe the rule is written leading with the crown of the helmet. Not the facemask.

There is that (rule 9 article 3), but there's also a hit to the opponents head- which has no restriction of what does the hitting. Rule 9 article 4.

Targeting and Making Forcible Contact to Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player ARTICLE 4. No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6). (A.R. 9-1-4-I-VI) Note 1: “Targeting” means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball. Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to: • Launch—a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area • A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground • Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area • Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet

Michigan is a pretty good team. What a bunch of dumbasses. I hope they get railed

As long as all of the other schools who steal signs go down, too. Which would realistically be every other school.

Although the real issue is having someone watch other teams FB games. Again, I expect that many other schools do this, too- because they can get someone else to do it for free.
 
The last chance for glorious mediocrity!

So, someone on Reddit raised the possibility of having all five P5 Conference champions being undefeated and one of them having to be left out of the CFP. The question being: who gets left out in that scenario?

Kansas kills the question on 10/28 by knocking out Oklahoma 38-33
 
Well...it was fun while it lasted. Clemson's string of 12 consecutive seasons with at least 10 wins will come to an end this season. They may not even make a bowl game.

Oof. I hadn't been paying close attention to them.

Why did they go over the cliff here?

Turnovers, particularly in the red zone. Poor QB/O-Line play, a lack of a competent kicker, and some poor play-calling in key moments haven't helped. They also don't have a high-end WR that can take pressure off their run game. Defensively, they are still elite.

It has been a frustrating season. Without those key turnovers, they are probably 8-0.

1. 2015-2021 OC Elliott is now OC at Virginia
2. 2012-2021 DC Venebles is now HC at Oklahoma
3. Dabo doesn't believe in using the transfer portal

Surprisingly, Venables' departure hasn't had a huge impact. But Clemson sure has struggled offensively after Elliott left (he is actually the HC at Virginia, and don't forget Jeff Scott, who was co-offensive coordinator with Elliott during the Tigers' recent national titles, and left for USF following the 2019 title). However, I would relate at least some of that to the lack of an elite QB and high-end WR talent.

And yes, Dabo's stubbornness re the transfer portal will need to change. That being said, Clemson has been more talented than all of the teams they have played thus far. So, I wouldn't blame their poor start on the transfer portal issues.
 
Brian Ferentz will not be returning as Iowa OC. Meanwhile Iowa vs. Northwestern's Over/under is 30.5. It was 29.5 yesterday, which was the lowest number ever in college football.

Stanford/Cal will do a thruple with SMU where they all play each other, with one school going to Dallas and SMU coming to play the other school; and then of course they alternate Big Game.

That leaves 6 conference games per year and 14 teams to play, so they plan to have Stanford/Cal play each team 3 times over a 7 year span (7 years * 6 games = 3 games * 14 teams). 3 will be east, 3 will be west, so for each of Stanford/Cal, 4 play 2 east 1 west and 4 play 1 east 2 west, with them flipped depending on which team. No idea what SMU does.

This all assumes it lasts for 7 years (spoiler alert: it won't).
