Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger joins OTB to talk college football, starting with Tua Tagovailoa’s injury. “It might be a long year or multiple years for Nick,” Dellenger said. “He felt bad for Tua and what happened, and clearly probably regrets the decision in a lot of ways.” Dellenger says that the Tide’s chances of making the playoff are slim at this point. “It’s really hard to see them getting in,” Dellenger said. “An 11-1 Alabama without Tua… you’d have to have a couple of Power 5 champions lose a game along the way.” The final playoff rankings may shake up, Dellenger said. “I try not to hammer a team because of a statistical performance,” “Here’s the thing, though… I wondered, if Ohio State keeps looking really good… on Selection Sunday, can Ohio State make the leap? I think they might be able to.” Oklahoma’s playoff chances are looking like they need some help, Dellenger said. “If Oklahoma is 12-1 and Big 12 champions, and Oregon is 12-1 as Pac-12 Champions, I think Oregon eeks in over them,” Dellenger said. “To have Utah and Oregon drop a game both… that’s what might have to happen (for Oklahoma to get in).” In terms of the Heisman race, Dellenger says it is clear-cut. “I think it stands with Joe Burrow,” Dellenger said. “When you ask around to some Heisman voters, it’s pretty clear. I think Joe won it against Alabama. I’d be shocked if somebody came from behind and got him. This is Joe’s to win right here.” The Bulldogs and Tigers are on a collision course, Dellenger said. “Georgia reminds me of LSU 2014-2015 under Les,” Dellenger said. “They play really conservatively, they don’t throw the ball down the field too much. I can’t wait (for LSU-Georgia). It’s going to be good.”
