No update and doubt they will update. Just like never told us Whit is probably done for the year if rumors are true.
What are the rumors on Whit?

Watched the replay of the play where he got hurt several times and it looked like the knee was bent and out of normal range of motion. I’m bummed but glad we’re deep at the position. Plus a couple of freshmen will see the field more in mop up time. Dowdell to me looks like he’s going to be special.

Somewhat off-topic

ESPN is giving us a 55% chance to beat the Fuskies and claims we have the best chance to get in the playoffs out of the Pac-12, and fourth best in the country overall.

If we win out and win the Pac-12, we are lock for the playoffs (once again, according to them)

If we win out and win the PAC-12, we’re a lock to get in.

But no one has had an undefeated PAC-12 season and the league is the deepest it’s ever been, so…

I actually had the thought that this years No Divisions could actually keep a 2nd team out of the playoff which would be so on point for this conference.

UO and WSU/UW could feasibly go 12-0 and 11-1 and have to match up again in the CG vs playing a potential 2 Loss USC as the "south" champion.

Very early in the season still. By conference, your playoff teams will come down to up to B1G (1-2), Pac-12 (0-2), Southeastern Conference (0-1), ACC (0-1), Big 12 (0-1), and potentially but unlikely Notre Dame. I don't see a G5 team entering the discussion.

A one-loss PAC12 team that wins in Vegas has a good chance to get in. It would get in over ND or any one-loss team that does not win its conference championship, and would have an argument against a one-loss Big 12 or ACC champ.
