Pretty excited for USC-Vandy this weekend. Game is always closer than it should be and fun to watch.

Nebraska has fallen so far off, the scott frost era is over before it started

One more reason why I say the college football "playoff" is not legit: ESPN criticizing VaT for going to Old Dominion.

It's not legit simply because 4 out of 120, chosen by a committee, is still subjective bullshit.

I have a very strong feeling that all three of these teams won't be ranked next week.

Welp. I was wrong.

Fuck Ohio State

- Can't believe Penn State blew that game. Horrendous tackling in the 2nd half. And obviously the 4th down playcall was pretty poor.

- Notre Dame looks legit on both sides of the ball. Meanwhile Stanford remains too one dimensional to be a true national threat.

- Looks like LSU's offense might be for real, but Ole Miss is terrible even by their standards. So many careless personal foul penalties and other undisciplined mistakes. Tigers have a tough test in Gainesville which, if they can survive, would set up a top 5 showdown with Georgia in Baton Rouge the following week. This is when it gets fun.

- Wish we had Travis ETN. Kid is so damn explosive. Carried Clemson after Lawrence went out and saved their season. I think it was unfair for the broadcasters to spend the whole game ripping Kelly Bryant, btw. Dabo knew this was a possibility when he made the switch, and I'm sure they were comfortable taking the risk. Also felt it was unfair to Dino Babers and his Syracuse squad which played a great game. Focusing so much on Clemson's QB situation diminished the effort of Dino's Good Kids.

- Kentucky might be kinda good?

This questions crops up every couple years, like "Larry might know what he is talking about?", and by the end of the season the answer is usually "No".

The PSU-OSU game was very weird, as if "Ask Corso" was being used by both coaches. OSU had one play that worked "WR Screen", yet it worked every time. OSU on defense was basically trying to cheese PSU by calling "Cover 3" repeatedly, which let the PSU QB drop back, pause, then run up the middle for 10 yards each time.

Because it's fixed.
