If you think a top 50 guy coming back to improve his stock is comparable to a top 2 pick where there is nowhere to go but down, you got it.

As if I didn’t just name Herbert mariotta and Bo nix who would’ve all gone higher the year prior lmao

Or the number 1 pick in the nba draft

Mariotta played in a torn mcl and signed up for more

their schedule is literally tougher than teams in the B1G lol

They stay independent to get a bag just like we’re about to go to the B1G to get a bag. If ND’s schedule is a joke then ours is a bigger one.

Our second toughest opponent (WF) was in a double overtime game against Purdue who ND just smacked.

We both play Stanford, UNC, and Boston college. We play each other. Aka we have 1/3 of the same schedule with them…..

They play SMU & Syracuse, we play FSU (who lost to SMU by 3) and Pitt (who struggled to finish off Syracuse before Fran brown made it obvious his best qb had been sitting on the bench all game).

They play Michigan state and Wisconsin; we play Clemson and Duke. They play BYU, we play VT.

We play CMU & FAMU, they play Navy and Rice.

I didn’t say our schedule was better… both are terrible this year.

Our best team in decades just so happens to coincide with the biggest pile of **** football in a P4 conference right now.

No, this is why I got out of baseball (I'm an A's fan - or I was until they decided to move to Las Vegas).

Games every day is too much for me to keep up with. On the one hand it's great 'cos I can turn the TV on at midnight and know there's probably something to watch, but on the other hand I'm more than happy to miss Bum**** St v Bum**** U on a Wednesday night and not feel too bad about it.

It wasn’t a very appealing game. The Western Kentucky run game had its moments and their RB is an athlete. I could seem him portal up eventually.

I don’t sleep much with all the hospital and new medications. So I’m trying to occupy time.. I need to back to my project of rewatching the 80s film I can find on the Canes and get a better understanding of the era I was born in but started the U to prominence.

It’s amazing how fast the narrative can shift. Two years ago, no questioned Tennessee’s inclusion at 10-2, with a young five-star qb, Heupel’s accomplishments at UCF being apart of his lore; as they entered the CFP. If they are 10-2 this year, given the rest of their teams on their schedule, they’re not a lock at all. Their bid could look closer to 10-2 Vandy, who was ranked below 9-3 Texas.

I don’t think Tennessee is good enough to win 10 games this year but I’d consider this ‘Bama game a must-win if they want to make the playoffs. I wouldn’t be stunned if Ole Miss wins out; however, i suspect they’ll drop one game to UGA/Texas/Miss State. Therefore, I’d consider the Missouri game a must-win for them. Likewise for Missouri, they have no good wins yet so they need to get one.

Sidebar, Is Ahmad Hardy returning this year?? I doubt it. Feels like we were completely misled on a a possibility of a return.

Interesting domino effect w/ Miss State/LSU and Ole Miss/Missouri. The egg bowl participants have already beaten the other’s week 7 opponents. Their destines are tied together: both teams play Texas, Auburn, and Oklahoma before the year is over. They share 6 of the same 9 opponents, and play each other ofc.

The Difference: Miss State got: South Carolina and Alabama & Ole Miss got UGA and UF.

I will be at the egg bowl this year, it could set up to be a great game, maybe a play in game to CFP!!

Can someone tell me what in the **** BYU has done to be ranked #8? Can they make it any more obvious they rank them that high to justify ranking Notre Dame 2, and giving them a spot in the playoffs because they beat the #8 team.

💯
 
Would like to see:
- Indiana over OSU (**** OSU, not that Indiana is any better imo but st least OSU has a loss already)
- MSU over LSU (might essentially knock LSU out of the playoffs)
- SMU over UVA (need SOME ranked ACC teams in this conference. even tho this whole board wants every single one to always lose for whatever reason)
- Bama over Tenn
- Missouri over Ole Miss
- VT over GT
- BYU over ND (***** ND and I hope they miss the playoffs idc about them being top 5 when we see them)
- OK state over Houston
- Wisconsin over UCLA (don’t think UCLA survives much longer with a backup QB)
- Wake over Cal (makes our win look better and better as the season goes on)
- Arizona state over TT

Obviously us over FSU, the UF/UT game is a win win. If UT loses then they fall to the upper teens/low 20s and will also have a MELTDOWN. If UF loses the meltdown in hog town continues 😂
 
That OSU vs Indiana game is fascinating. Will Indiana bully Ohio State again? Ohio State looked soft in the trenches vs Texas. Day needs to coach his team instead of being the best metrosexual in Ohio.
