not feeling real confident about my buckeyes vs. ND.

same for my utes vs. UCLA.

edit: I would think the loser of OSU/ND can forget about the CFP. 

I disagree.  If OSU loses a close one in ND, and then wins the Big 10 title, I think they are in.  That's unless you have a 3 other undefeated power 5 and ND at one loss.  I think that's unlikely. 

By contrast I am feeling good about the Bucks.  McCord looked great in his first start where he was given the team.  The defense appears to be lights out, particularly in the back end.  The only mild concern is that Sawyer and TJ are not getting consistent pressure on the edges when the Bucks rush four.  ND has a very good offensive line so I think there will be a bunch of blitz packages.  That's not ideal, but probably the way they need to play.  Which means we'll see some squatting corners.

Looked great against WKU? Yee haw!

WKU will end up in the top 3 for offense at the end of the year.  Mark it down. 

Second, look at the other two games as well.  We're 1-3 in every category.  

As a defense, all you can do is beat the shit out of the teams you play.  We're three games into the year.  Tell me why you think our d is bad?  What metric are you using, or even using the eye test, what is wrong with the D?

It’s  the O I’m not sold on. Hope I’m wrong. O-H-I-O!

Go Colorado.  Love me some Primetime, just as long as it's fooseball and not the baseball.

I'm about tired rooting for Miami so I need someone else to build me up and let me down, lol.

I could see the Primes beating Oregon. Oregon is always overrated.

No way.  Oregon is going to ring the reality bell for coach Big Mouth.

I tend to agree.  You don't build a program in one year let alone 3 games.  The depth is not there at Colorado.  They can't go toe to toe for four quarters.  That's my bet.

Never know, there have been 2 loss teams before

I think ND beats OSU.
Utah beats fUCLA.  (If Cam is back...)

My man! Both of those are good picks!

You coming to South Bend for a 5 v 3 showdown October 14th?

If ND loses 1 close game this season, I think they are in. If Ohio State only loses 1, they could still make it.

F Me In The Brain

Nope, had enough of IN for this year.

No Cam

I understand your acceptance that your heart would get broken for the 2nd time in as many months in the state of IN.

My heart was stomped on by Clay Helton.  Not 100 invested in SC Football again.  Would take a Pete like run from the team to get me fully back in.  Flying to Boulder next week for the game with my buddies and wouldn't be surprised by a 101-100 loss.  This is what happens after years of defensive futility.
Maybe this year can start us back on the path to second half adjustments turning into blowouts of good offensive clubs, only time will tell.  
Offense looks mighty, again.

Why are teams on the Pacific Coast joining the Atlantic Coast Conference?  Conferences have become so fkn dumb!!!!

cal and Stanford are great academic schools. Other than FSU , the ACC is probably a better academic conference than the MW. But, yeah, it’s dumb.

"Other than FSU"

Oh you!!

Free Shoes U?

Something something, crab legs, what other outdated & overused FSU material ya got?

Free Shoes U. is not looking great…..probably because, for once, I am rooting for them.

What dumb playing calling by Clemson trying for a field goal late in the fourth quarter. 

eeriepadave

Clemson should have won that one but chioked\

Thought the Or3egon/Colorado game was gonna be a bit closer. oregon crowd was loud! Got to hand it to them, they came to win, not for "clicks"

Ohio state play call on 4th and inches might be the worst int the history of football 

Cliffy6745

ND is the biggest loser football team of all time. 

F Me In The Brain

I don't understand calling off the pressure on 4th down.
  Fucking Dame.  
They deserve to lose a game they should have won, based on the d calls

darwinstheory

ND only had 10 defenders on the last 2 plays. The fuck? Idiots!

It was a terrible call.  But Hartline redeemed himself with the td call.  A dive to Chip who is big and strong was prefect.  

It's his first year as OC so still learning.  I hate when OCs get too cute.

I didn't even realize that.

the 3rd and 19, prior to the plunge, was unreal. freeman knew he only had 10 guys but didn’t want a penalty for illegal substitution.

Wyoming avoids another App State upset. I thought my cowpokes were toast.

Utah D made a “five star” QB and “offensive genius” chip kelly look like shit. Utah really needs Cam back. they also need a big, bruising RB.

BYU lost.

and, the ohio bobcats rolled in MACtion, so it was an all around good day.

They had 11 on the field on the 3rd and 19.  It was coming out of their own timeout after that play where they had 10.  So they had 10 on two straight plays and no one saw it.  There was no harm in illegal sub if that was called.  It would be half the distance from the 1.  So any statement to that end by Freeman is bs.

I think Freeman knew. A half yard is easier to get than a full yard.

a chip kelly team has been held to less than 10 points in his 113 college games…..two of those were vs. Utah.

Then why didn't he put the 11th in after the incomplete pass? They had a stop in the action.  Not buying it.

Colorado has no defense

mrussel1

There are not good defensive performances by Oregon and Washington.  They also both look small,  at the skill and in the trenches.

That catch was insane by the guy on Stanford. Once it got to 29-12, I figured there was a chance and watched the rest.
