ARLINGTON, Texas -- After falling to Clemson 30-3 in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly stressed that "four big plays" were the difference and that the Irish's issues Saturday were "technical and tactical," not talent-based.
"I do not feel like there was an overwhelming difference in terms of talent," Kelly said. "If we coached better and we made plays that we have been making all year, we would have had a pretty good darn football game going into the fourth quarter."
Kelly pointed to Clemson's four big touchdown plays and the loss of All-American cornerback Julian Love during the second quarter as the reasons for Clemson's victory.

WVU might be a better job than Houston because of it being P5 and having a passionate fan base, but Houston day to day is probably an easier and much less stressful job.
Dana probably doesn't like what he has at WVU coming back next season either, and probably knows being "Transfer U" isn't sustainable.

It’s jokes whenever Feldman does this because he’s friends with like 10 FBS head coaches, and the shady texts are usually from Herman, Patterson, Urban, Leach, or ... Brian Kelly

i really like Josh Jacobs. Why doesn't he get featured more?

Because he plays at Bama they have three (soon to be four) other blue-chip running backs. None of their running backs are featured.

This is equally stupid though. now you're asking the playoff committee to play gatekeeper by assessing teams rosters. There are lots of talented teams that aren't good enough to make the playoffs and there also well-coached teams without as many blue chip players that can compete.
The issue is that the playoff committee has never defined what their criteria for selecting teams is. Is it the 4 best teams? If we're going based on that then Georgia definitely should have been in over Notre Dame. Is it resume? Is it the 4 more deserving teams (whatever that means)? Whenever they have the playoff selection show I feel like the folks on the selection committee change their criteria every time they speak.
I can see the playoff committee changing their ways in the future. Since the beginning it 2014, 8 out of the 10 playoff semifinal games have been blowouts (the only two clothes games were last year's Rose Bowl and the 2014 Bama vs Ohio St game) and this year they've taken a lot of heat for setting up some bad matchups everyone saw coming.

Because it's Bama. They have so many weapons in the running game and passing game that no one running back is going to get more than 8-10 carries. None of their guys get a lot of carries so that they're fresh towards the end of the season.
If you look at it, Jacob's is second on the team and carries behind Damien Harris, they just evenly distribute the load.

Because Bama has 5 feature backs on their roster. Jacobs is the best of the bunch and the least recruited too. He wasn't given all the promises Najee was coming out of HS. Najee like Tua considered transferring after his freshman year when he didn't get all the playing time like he was told he would. I think he got the first carry of last season though?

Richt calling it a career.
And Jacobs should have had 30 carries yesterday. That 2nd half was criminal play calling... well not play calling but personnel wise

I think it's clear it's a combination of the 4 best records, the 4 most deserving, and the 4 most impressive throughout the year.
Georgia had 2 losses, lost to one of the other playoff teams and LSU by 20+. They weren't 4 most deserving, 4 best records, and honestly not one of the 4 most impressive. UGA fans need to give it up. ND, UCF, and even Ohio State were more deserving and had better records. SEC teams need to stop expecting to be rewarded just for losing to SEC teams.

Damn, dude was stubborn til his last moment. Guessing he wouldn't hire an OC, or fire his son or Searls.
This is amazing.
