Week 11 is upon us, and things are really starting to take shape. Of the 10 games left that will have the biggest impact on the playoff race, half of them will be played Saturday.
Undefeated Notre Dame, hoping to land one of those playoff spots, is channeling some history for its game against Florida State.
Brian Kelly went all method in recreating a scene from “Rudy” for Notre Dame to announce the Irish are wearing jerseys inspired by the famous 1977 “Green Jersey Game,” when Joe Montana led No. 11 Notre Dame to a 49-19 rout of No. 5 USC.

Meanwhile, Georgia coach Kirby Smart, who’s been fielding questions about the Dawgs wearing their alternate black jerseys against Auburn, didn’t break character.
@KirbySmartUGA on #Dawgs wearing Black Jerseys vs AU:”if you guys want black jerseys, just close your eyes & you’ll see black.”
Can we award him the Savage Pads?#GoDawgs #UGA #BeatAU

A new home for the Aztecs
San Diego State football, which plays at SDCCU Stadium, was in danger of being homeless as the city hoped to tear down the facility which was vacated by the Chargers’ move to Los Angeles. The Aztecs got good news this week when a measure passed that will bring a new, smaller college-type stadium as part of a site renovation.
“I think it’s a win for San Diego State, but more importantly, it’s a win for the community.”@SDSUFootball head coach Rocky Long spoke to the media for the first time after Measure G passed on Tuesday’s election. pic.twitter.com/ctsD8kFh6v
