Brian Fowler Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 On one hand, it feels like the winner of this Oregon/Washington game should really jump into the top five. On the other, of the top five, #1 won by 17 points, #2 by 45, #3 by 34, #4 by 31, while #5 had a bye and are coming off arguably the biggest win anybody has had so far this year. And #6 is currently up by 28.
Brian Fowler Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 I'm a big proponent for teams being aggressive and all, but Oregon could easily only be down five instead of eleven right now if they just kicked on fourth a couple times.

Colorado’s more hype than substance at this point, but I will be surprised if Deion doesn’t keep recruiting “dawgs” (his word) and build a world beater a few years from now. He’s tapping into something and kids are going to keep showing up to play from him. Assuming he stays in Colorado, of course. I’m less certain about that.
Brian Fowler Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Oregon went for it on fourth down three times. Twice in chip shot field goal range trailing 22-18 and 29-18. Then once near midfield leading 33-29 with a little over a minute and a half to play. They got stopped on all three and lost 36-33 when they missed a longer last second field goal.

Craig H Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 This is kinda how I figured this game would go. USC hasn’t even faced a defense this season and aside from one game, ND’s defense has been good. Tonight they’re just dominating.

Brian Fowler Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 A real "it's not your night, kid" game for Caleb Williams. Oof.
Craig H Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Damn. Just an absolute beating. I mean, it's not surprising or anything and I think even Vegas seemed to see some of this coming, but not to this extent. Even if USC finishes with 1 loss, I can't see them getting into the playoff. They'll get drummed out so fast and they're nowhere near the level of Michigan, tOSU, UGA, or even Penn State.

He’s tapping into something and kids are going to keep showing up to play from him. Assuming he stays in Colorado, of course. I’m less certain about that. Deion in his post-game while taking blame also threw his players under the bus by questioning their love of football. Try to imagine Nick Saban saying something like this: Quote What I just said in the locker room to the seam is they got to make up in their mind, are they in love with this game o are they in like with it. Because when you love something you give to it unconditionally. You give everything you got to but when you like it, that’s just a button you push. It lights up and like that’s what they do on social media. So we got to figure out, do they love it or they like it? And it’s hard for me because I love this. I love it. Without a shadow of a doubt, I am truly 100% in love with this thing. And I just want people to match me, just match my passion, match my heart, match my love, match my consistency, match my mannerisms, just match every darn thing I give to this game. I love this.

I thought ND had a great shot to win, especially at home, but I didn't see "Caleb Williams has the worst game of his collegiate career" coming at all. I thought ND could win the easy Utah and Tulane did last year, just forcing the Trojans to make tackles.

I think he stays just long enough for his sons to graduate, because I believe they would have to sit out a year if they transferred again. But I can't imagine him there any longer than that. He's gonna get a big time high profile job somewhere. 3
Craig H Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 I'm as sick of hearing about Prime Time and Colorado as I am Kelce and Taylor Swift, and I say this as a fan of Taylor Swift. And I suppose Kelce. 1
Tabe Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Iowa continues to dominate, winning 15-6 over Wisconsin while getting an amazing 19 total yards from their quarterback.
Tabe Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Michigan has scored 30+ and allowed 10 or fewer in all 7 games, just the fourth team since 1936 to do that in 7 straight games. Yeah, the competition has been weak but that's still impressive. More impressive is they haven't allowed a single snap inside their own 10 all year.

With the schedule they have played that shouldn’t be surprising.
Pete Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Gotta say it was cool to see the Idaho/Montana rivalry game on ESPN2. That FCS spotlight absolutely should happen more often than it does.
Brian Fowler Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Rankings don't matter this early in a season, especially in the CFP era, but man... Oklahoma falls a spot after a bye week and Penn State falls a spot after winning by 63 points yesterday.
