temptation

Make them prove they can stop it. I loathe OSU but admired Woody Hayes. What did he say about throwing the ball again?

Peaking at the right time for sure. Gonna be the ultimate "what if" season for Notre Dame it looks like. Self-proclaimed hater right here but can admit they are 3-4 plays away from being 8-1.

14-16 mph winds...Buckeye fans becoming amateur meterologists.

Oops, sorry. Yes, its a total crap shoot after 3. 1. Michigan 2. Ohio State 3. Penn State 4. Illinois 5. Wisconsin 6. Minnesota 7. Maryland 8. Iowa 9. Michigan State 10. Purdue 11. Nebraska 12. Rutgers 13. Northwestern 14. Indiana

I think two is a near certainty at this point unless Tennessee loses to South Carolina somehow. The question is THREE. If LSU gets past UGA in the SEC title game (should it happen) buckle up. Once again, you CANNOT put LSU in WITHOUT Tenneseee.

I give Warren more than a puncher's chance if they play a relatively clean game.

Buckle up for three SEC teams then… NO WAY Georgia falls out of the top 4 with an SEC title loss to LSU. Tennessee and Oregon both got worked against Georgia but Tennessee was halfway competitive for a while. No way Oregon jumps them. I’m not sure why geography when it comes to divisions gets the final say all of a sudden when the SEC West has been the dominant for forever and precedent has been set. The top two teams in the Big Ten East are light years ahead of anyone in the west and while the conference does not get (or deserve) the benefit of the doubt due to past performance, facts are facts. If TCU loses, it gets even more interesting.

Were favored by 38 yesterday…

Unless its cold and windy…

“You are what your record says you are.”

When you leave the postseason invitations up to a committee, logic is often thrown out the window. Narratives and style points, along with money supersede logic. By your logic, Coastal Carolina and Liberty and Tulane are better than Alabama, Utah and LSU.

But narratives matter in college football…don’t deny that.

Finesse.

The excuses yesterday were nauseating.

Yep.

Unless it’s windy, right?

Yep.

Spread is 40.5, lol.

Only Purdue…

Can you honestly put a 2 loss LSU in over a 1 loss Tennessee when the Vols mudstomped them in Death Valley? And I’ll get this jab in before the, “it doesn’t really matter” crowd shows its face but I want justification for Ohio State still being in front of Michigan this Tuesday night… Agree but I’m still 180 degrees on this take when it comes to Oregon. Pac 12 champ or not, you had your chance…and lost by 46.

Couldn’t have scripted the day better myself.

“Found” a brand new QB who just became eligible.

Most improved team in the state.
