Any Ohio State fans know why Garrett Wilson wears a different jersey for returns?

Big fuckin' day everyone. Big fuckin' day. How about that Iron Bowl? UGA also crushed Tech, but we made some sloppy mistakes that will have to be addressed in the coming week. Let's take a look at the CFB Playoff picture: SEC CG LSU v UGA Winner is obviously in. If LSU goofs up and loses without being embarrassed they probably still get the 4 seed. That said, the smart money is on LSU. Kirby and the Dawgs could play spoiler (and I hope they do) but it's a long shot. UGA is a good team at preparing for the next squad on their schedule, and their defense is far and away better than anything LSU has seen all year, but this Tiger offense has been a different animal. I believe this likely could be the best matchup of the post-season, CFP or otherwise. Big 10 OSU v Wisconsin OSU is obviously the clear favorite - unless Wisconsin has made amazing adjustments and cracked a code nobody else has seemed to, their second squaring off against Fields and the OSU offense should be a repeat of late October. ACC Clemson v Virginia Likely to be the most one sided championship game (at least one with playoffs implications) - Clemson should likely church UVA by 28, even if they're resting starters and saving plays for the bigger games they're all but guaranteed. Also on a personal note, I'm decidedly over Dabo's bad takes surrounding the CFP. I think he's a great coach, but man he lives in his own world on some of this stuff. Pac 12 Utah v Oregon This is a fun one, Utah can and should absolutely secure the #4 seed with a win over Oregon assuming LSU follows through on UGA. That becomes a lot harder if the Dawgs shock LSU in Atlanta, but they still have a great case. If anything, I think that result would likely settle some questions about "SEC Bias" and if it's just Bama that gets the preferential treatment or the whole conference. Either way, for my money, Utah wins and they have the best argument for #4 in recent memory. Oregon takes the cake in the game and the Pac 12 cannibalism destiny is fulfilled. Big 12 Oklahoma v Baylor I want Baylor to win but I don't know why. I've liked Oklahoma ever since the 2018 Rose Bowl. I don't think either school has a great shot at the playoffs without help. They'd need a UGA loss and a Utah loss along with an impressive showing in their own championship. As far as eye tests go, both of them feel a damn sight behind the top 3 this year. My safe predictions are as follows: 1. LSU - (13-0) 2. OSU - (13-0) 3. Clemson - (13-0) 4. Utah - (12-1) Clemson v OSU is close enough in the half before Clemson runs away with it. LSU dominates Utah's defense while giving up a few sloppy scores. Clemson eviscerates LSU in the Natty and secures the repeat. I joyfully invite you to have a few drinks (Lord knows I have) and angrily tell me why I'm wrong on 70% of this.

Real talk Alabama Auburn was the game of the year. And I have a hard time seeing any Championship or Bowl Game beating it.

It's not always fun being a Steelers fan living in Cleveland, but today it feels damn good!

My Tigers won the AAC Championship (finally!) but we lost our coach to Florida State. Next up is the Cotton Bowl against Penn State!

Any Ohio State fans know why Garrett Wilson wears a different jersey for returns? Oh hey I missed this until now. College football teams are so massive that a lot of times players share a number but they can't have two players of the same number on the field at the same time. So when he's on the field as the same time as Baron Browning who also wears #5, one of them has to put on a different number.

I was wondering if it was something he did to honor somebody or whatnot.

Justin Fields has a 50/1 TD/int and he isn't going to win the Heisman, that's crazy to me, also a testament to how dominant Burrow is.

Holy shit the Ravens are having a good year. I expected them to win over the Jets of course, but honestly, I didn’t expect them to have a season like this. And despite all that, I’m not quite sold on the team, nor am I necessarily a new fan. I am now a pretty solid Bills fan, an unexpected outcome of this year’s fantasy games, getting me to pay attention to them. I expect Josh Allen to keep getting better and better. Dude is looking real solid out there as a QB. Not as outrageously talented as Lamar, but I feel it’s possible one day he’ll be as good as Mahomes. Just speculation though.

This probably makes me sound like an asshole, but whenever I read about coaches bailing on the team they helped succeed before bowl games, it makes me wish them failure upon failure at their new destination. Like.. why wouldn't you want to potentially coach your team to one last victory (unless your new contract forbids it) before you ditch them?
