Because strength of schedule will be such an important factor in selecting the CFP’s four teams — we’re told, anyway — the Big Ten needs key non-conference wins not only for teams involved in the CFP chase, but for teams who played the teams involved....

WMMT reports that in the eleven months since marijuana use became legal, state police have been struggling with how to respond in situations where weed smoke is detected. According to Michigan State Police sergeant Andrew Jeffrey, civilians are still calling in to report smelling marijuana smoke, but police no longer have the remit to investigate those calls if the culprits are smoking legally.

Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett completed 21 of 31 passes for 307 yards and three touchdowns....

This is significant on a couple levels. First, Michigan is fighting precedent in its pursuit of the 2018 NCAA championship.
