Biggest Surprise this Season?

Its crazy how fast parity has seemed to happen.

Transfer portal and NIL?

The Portal has evened the playing field.

Pate harps on Clemson not using transfer portal and how that's partially contributing to their performance. I think it'll be hard to catch UGA for at least another year or 2, because they still have the capacity to turn it on. But, the top tier is definitely getting smaller, which is nice to see.

Malpractice and arrogance by Dablo not using the transfer portal

My biggest surprise is not giving JB a snap so far. This a clown show run by the biggest charlatan in college football, MARIO.

For sure. Hard to build depth when quality backups can start at other schools.

The Portal has evened the playing field.

That’s probably why Saban complained about it so much.

Transfer portal and NIL?

I think that's it. I don't think this is some one off year. I think its here to stay.

Miami: Bain.

College Football: FSU, ND and Rutgers.

I’ll go Miami specific first:
Reuben Bain being as good as he’s been
How solid we are on defense
James Williams turning into a dam football player who blitzes , tackles in the open field, etc.

Now college football as a whole:
How ordinary Bama looks. Still very good tho
How bad usc is
How good Duke is and how bad Clemson is

Duke sucks now without Leonard

Shout-out Jedd Fisch at Arizona. Doing a **** of a job there.

Bain for Miami standards, he’s the TF best pass rusher I’ve seen in a Miami uniform ever (my father says Rusty Madaris, can’t argue because I never saw him play).

Wasn't Fisch an Al Golden hire at OC?

Fisch saw the Pillars and got out as soon as he could.
