michigan, neither will play in their conference championship game. some predecks. there are the smiling faces. >> brian: mine was before the game started today. i had wisconsin beating ohio state in the big ten championship game. i thought michigan state would beat penn state. that's why wisconsin in and then i'm high on the buffs. if the buffs can beat utah and then beat washington i'm putting them in. >> steve: there you go, home team. on second down and ten. it's justin davis. mcshay. >> todd: one team that's interesting is oklahoma, kind of sitting on the outside looking in. oklahoma state, a top ten team -- that's a huge win and you have to assume that if you're talking about oklahoma potentially being in there wouldn't be a second team from the big ten. i just don't think that's going happen. i think the big ten championship winner will end up having a good

chance of being in. you need washington to lose. >> brian: todd, you didn't have the big ten championship in. >> todd: not in that one. lot going on, griese. >> steve: hard hit in the secondary. that's drue tranquill who's had a nice game. >> brian: i don't see how oklahoma can get in. they got blasted by houston and ohio state. i just don't see it. >> todd: my point is, they're that team that's lurking. if the committee all of a sudden decides not to take that second big ten team who's up next? >> brian: colorado, why not colorado? if washington loses, they lose to colorado. >> todd: there was a method to the madness i wanted to beat the snap. >> steve: you did. line-drive snap to finke. finke is just across midfield.

10:00 a.m. catch "nfl insiders" sunday edition and this week on monday night football, from philadelphia the eagles and the packers. maybe a must-win for both. >> brian: yeah. i love your spanish from mexico city. can you re-enact that. >> steve: hola. here's kizer in trouble and he's dropped. michael hutchings brings him down with a sack. i was thinking about trying the spanish again from philadelphia. it wouldn't make any sense, right. >> brian: how do you order a cheesesteak in spanish? >> steve: see you at the two-minute warning. hutchings was the player. who slammed into our referee, ron cherry. one thing to get a report on an injured player, not sure we'll get an update on the health of ron cherry, we hope he's okay. took a big hit. deshone kizer, now, brings up a

third and long. only 19 times has usc won the victory bell and the shillelagh. >> brian: first mention of the shillelagh. it's a wooden club of some sort from ireland. can't wait to see it. >> steve: so, notre dame has five different trophy games, by the way. two different shillelagh games. hit as he throws and that pass is incomplete. uchenna nwosu made the hit and kizer is down. took a big shot. >> brian: rolling to one side and didn't see the rush coming from the weakside.

and took a big hit as he threw. >> steve: nwosu got him. >> brian: hopefully that's nothing serious for deshone kizer, got a bright future ahead of him, whether that's next year going to the nfl or coming back, he's got a decision to make. we were talking with him last night. he said he'll probably make that decision in the next week or so and he's got some things that i think he can work on, todd, but he certainly has the raw physical talent to play at the next level. >> todd: size, big-time arm, mobility. he's not there mentally there, he needs another year of maturity. >> steve: deontay burnett. will let it go.

jiffy lube we've got you covered. adoree' jackson was all over the place. kick return for a touchdown, punt return for a touchdown. and there on the receiving end of a touchdown. what a game, a game he'll remember forever. >> brian: i know the stats haven't been eye-popping this year for jackson. but let's just say that the utah upset colorado tonight and usc does go to pac-12 championship game next week and he has another great game against washington i think he should be in new york for the heisman trophy ceremony. >> steve: i'm good with that. he changes the game. he changes the way other teams attack usc. >> brian: yeah. >> steve: that's dominic davis, the ball carrier. by the way, it wasn't all roses for jackson, he did fumble the football led to a notre dame touchdown.

second and 13. keeping it on the ground to dominic davis. local product from right here in l.a. college football primetime coming up tonight. south carolina against clemson. the palmetto bowl. gamecocks and tigers. streaming live on the espn app and watch espn. hey, a reason we don't give away the heisman in september. we think we know who it is. or the top two candidates. leonard fournette and deshaun

watson right away. >> brian: these rivalry games should matter. i want to see you do against your rival. >> steve: davis trying to break through. >> brian: which, louisville lost today, right, if i'm not mistaken. yeah, that's another hit for lamar jackson, they lose in back-to-back weeks. >> todd: this is an open year. >> steve: this is coming into this action. >> todd: lamar is at 90% votes. another loss. >> brian: baker mayfield is playing great football. deshaun watson hasn't been as good this year as a year ago. dede westbrook deserves a shot. i would argue that a adoree' jackson deserves to be on that list. >> steve: this should help. >> tod >> todd: if he would have had a

game like adoree' had the in this game he would have been there for sure. >> todd: i still think he should be in new york. he's the most complete football player i watched all season. >> steve: agreed. >> brian: jackson or jabrill peppers? for the next level? >> todd: peppers. jackson, you can't coach his speed. high 4.2 in the 40-yard dash. >> steve: fourth and seven. here's tilbey to let it fly. just in front of his goal line. chris finke. back pedaling. and then sent backwards flying. down to the 36. take look at our pacific life game summary.

>> brian: well, it was a tale of two halves, sc jumped out in the second half with those two touchdowns. one by harris and jackson on a punter return. really haven't looked back. a pushback from notre dame in this third quarter. but they pulled away in the fourth. >> steve: again, if the committee was just talking about november, could make a real case for usc. but i agree. september has to count. that's the beauty of college football more than any other big-time sport is that every game matters so much. remember, this was a team that got blown out by 50 to alabama with the way the season opened. >> brian: some games not mattering as much, alabama and auburn. we want rivalry week to mean something. and so, i don't think that usc should be in the top four.

>> steve: three losses on the season. they started 0-2 in the conference. and they've said they made every game a playoff game since. >> todd: the only argument, the quarterback change and how this team has responded since and the committee will factor that in if that's change, a major change in personnel, we've seen it in years past the three losses i just don't know if they can get close enough where it would become a factor. >> brian: on that point, todd, when you look at colorado, the team i was making a case for to be in fourth position, you would hope that the committee would look at their personnel. >> steve: official's mike was inadvertently clicked on. everybody got a good laugh at

that. ron cherry, our official was take on the the hospital. and that's the man in his place. the center judge. >> brian: he just got a late hit, personal foul on the sideline. boy, i'm surprised that he got out of that without even more fisticuffs. wow. >> steve: final 1:15 in notre dame season. and usc will be watching some tv tonight. rooting for utah. corey holmes. from zaire.

>> brian: this will initiate some soul-searching for the fighting irish and brian kelly in particular, it's been historically tough year for him. only had one other season where he's been this down in his 25 years. >> steve: only two losing seasons. that's really remarkable. played 14 true freshmen this season. the most since he's taken over in south bend. griese, they return just seven starters from last season. that's fewest dating back since 1972 when freshman eligibility was restored. >> brian: he's got decisions to make obviously, defensively, he left go vangorder and he told us yesterday, he has to look at the offensive side. and they've only scored 16 points in the fourth quarter their last 7 games. i got to evaluate that as well.

there could be wholesale changes. >> steve: corner of the end zone, with a flag and it's a touchdown! st. brown in the corner of the end zone. they'll pick up that flag. that will make the score look much better and much closer in the box score in the newspaper >> referee: pass interference, defense, number 23, penalty is declined. touchdown. >> brian: i learned a little bit about equanimeous today, just a true sophomore, he played this entire game. wasn't 100%. running on one leg at times. he made play after play. he puts on another 20 pounds, steve, comes back next year he's not a speedster but he's got that size and if he gets more physical that's a piece that brian kelly can build around. >> steve: great concentration on that catch on the touchdown pass from malik zaire. st. brown today, 17 passes, 94

yards and that one score. they'll go for two. with 62 ticks left in the game. zaire will flip it to dexter williams. he's in all sort of trouble. forget two points. leaves it at 45-27. on object 15th, 1988, notre dame hosted the university of miami in one of the greatest games in college football history which became known as catholics versus convicts. >> two things that were more disparate. >> never been more excited before the start of the game. >> we went to notre dame to win. >> the rev admitted blew it.

>> in what world is is that a fumble? >> oh, you got to be kidding me? >> 30 for 30, might be the best thing we do. 30 for 30, catholics versus convicts. saturday, december 10th on espn. notre dame won that game, 31-30. you know, the irish, they're selling the people who will listen, all the close losses, all the seven-point losses, that might work some other places and that's not acceptable in south bend. >> brian: there were some people that thought this could be a playoff team at the beginning of the year. especially on the offensive line. quarterback, running backs and playmakers. but, you know, this has been a void of leadership and that's the thing that stuck out for me, watching the film and studying this team it was the fact they lost so many seniors a year ago

and so many of the juniors like prosise, ful, jalen smith, that are were going to be the leaders of this team. they went to the nfl. i asked brian kelly any regrets. he said he would have been more proactive in the off-season in helping some of these downyors and younger players assume more leadership because they haven't had it this year. >> todd: he didn't mention starting kizer from the beginning? >> brian: he did not. >> steve: you hear about the leadership issues, we have been told, it's been publicly stated that brian kelly will be back next year. we're so quick to hire and fire in this college football business. will not be an issue apparently we're told. juju smith-schuster and usc will look to run out the clock with

61 ticks left. >> brian: i think it's timely to mention these seniors for usc, we don't know if they're going to have a game next week but all they've been through, right, these guys have been here for lane kiffin and getting fired on tarmac, losing to arizona state in blownout fashion, they fought for ed orgeron, didn't happen. they bring in steve sarkisian from the university of washington, we know his story, tragic nature of his story and then they name an interim, start 1-3 and everyone's calling for clay helton. these seniors for usc, one of the most resilient bunches. >> steve: we asked clay helton about the motivation in the game because they can't impact their

pac-12 championship status. that's out of their hands. that's based on colorado/utah tonight. he said look, a senior to win every game at home this season. for seniors a chance for a bigger and better december. what kind of bowl game will they play? whether or not they play in the pac-12 championship game? >> brian: pac-12, big ten, there's still an opportunity. >> steve: usc soundly defeats notre dame, 45-27. eighth consecutive win. they got a chance at a couple more games. a chance to make it a ten-game winning streak. we'll see what happens tonight. oh, yeah, they'll be watching utah at colorado. adoree' jackson, three touchdowns, kick return, punt

return and a reception as well. be sure to tune in abc tonight at 8:00 eastern. another big rivalry game. florida takes on florida state. so long from southern california.

we got florida/florida state coming up. in the meantime michigan/ohio state. annual rivalry. third quarter, florida state down 10-7. spaight started hot. michigan goes up 17-10. next michigan possession, speight. bad decision into coverage right

there. two defenners in the area. ohio state takes over. it's jim harbaugh's turn. reaction to his team's poor play. mike webber with the touchdown. they won four straight against michigan. 30 seconds to go. third and goal for ohio state. j.t. barrett. >> great pass by j.t. barrett. >> that would set up this. needs this one to extend the game. he does. 23 yards. overtime. first time ever for michigan/ohio state. going overtime. and then here's barrett with the touchdown. >> what a play call. faked the screen to the right. quarterback draw inside. execution really good play. >> michigan's turn on offense now. speight -- lot of big catches in this game. >> secures it for the touchdown reception. >> michigan got a field goal on the next possession. fourth and one, barrett d he get it?

>> so critical. that's why we got instant replay. upstairs, they said he got it. >> the officials get the last word. >> harbaugh said no. >> he didn't like it to all. pointed comments after the game. >> the offensive line does a fabulous job. he uses his feet, coach. >> he does, mark. plants that foot, understand the up. outruns him for the touchdown. >> so, ohio state wins it 30-27. and after the game, jabrill peppers. and an ohio state fan kind of get into it there. michigan looks like they're out of playoff contention now as they fall to ohio state. now the buckeyes, number two and they win so, can't move them down it looks like they're in the for the playoffs. >> they're tough, they're fast.

ohio state has earned the right to be one of the four teams. >> problem is, though, penn state wins, so penn state beat ohio state head the head. they win the big ten east. so, they win the division over ohio state as well. now they face wisconsin in the big ten championship game. an ohio state team that didn't play for the conference championship against a penn state team that may be conference champs. >> you should have be on the mitt tee. >> that's the dilemma for the committee. what they said in the past, head to head matters, conference championships matter. so, they'll have to sit back and decide if there's one slot left, if washington wins out they should be in. alabama wins out. they should be in. it will come down to selection committee to decide which one of those teams. >> i learned a lot of things can happen in the last week. it could be a crazy week and change it all. let's see what happens tonight. thanksgiving weekend, food and football. next on the menu, florida taking

on florida state in about a half hour.

saturday night i'm walter perez. man barricades himself inside
