Ken Schreiber: What to know about college football Week 12

The attack on the University of Virginia campus has shaken the college football landscape. Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler and D’Sean Perry were killed by a single gunman. Mike Hollins was injured and Marlee Morgan was shot. Christopher D. Jones Jr. was convicted in June 2021 of having a concealed weapon and had warrants for his arrest for hit-and-run charges. It is irresponsible not to provide protection for the vulnerable individuals on college campuses.

There were no changes in the top four of the College Football Playoff. No. 1 Georgia, No 2 Ohio State, no. 3 Michigan and No 4 TCU won. Tennessee is at No 5 and has a good chance to enter the Top 4. LSU is a wildcard.

FBS association LEAD1 circulated a letter to the highest levels of college football. It recommended a chief operating officer be created for college Football. The letter is a precursor to eliminating the NCAA from having authority to govern the sport. The Tennessee-Alabama thriller had almost 17 million people watching.

The SEC is considering having one division when Oklahoma and Texas join the league in 2025. The idea is to have as many teams qualify for a 12-team playoff. Notre Dame should join. The Big Ten commissioner should call Kevin Warren.

No. 7 USC (9-1) is playing at No. 16 UCLA (8-2) in the battle of Los Angeles. The game is a toss-up, because UCLA has the home-field advantage.

No. 10 Utah (8-2) at No. 12 Oregon (9-1) is a must-win game for the Utes. The Ducks lost to Washington last week and are out of contention for a top-four CFP position.
