Someone had to do it.

Some great games already. Started last week for me with Montana over NDSU. Classic game. BYU over Nebraska yesterday was another thriller.

Anyway, I've got Ohio State, Auburn, TCU and a yet to be determined P-12 team in the playoff. Subject to change, of course......

Did not watch any games for the first time in 8 years. Not sure why. I stopped reading espn in the off season as well. I hope it changes.

Ohio State's a given, due to their cream-puff schedule
... Their strength of schedule = #42 or #74 (depending on source).
SEC's rep could be be Auburn, 'Bama or Ole Miss. <jus' sayin'>

certainly liked what I saw out of the notre dame QB transfer to FSU saturday...he keeps that up he can go back into the heisman race!

my predictions....more overrated SEC teams propped up into the top 10 until they lose (unless they lose to other SEC teams of course).

right now there are only 3, but so many announcers at ESPN seem to be picking texas A&M to run the table and win the SEC...and since they beat a ranked team last week...I expect them to be in the top 10 asap. :lol:

I think we'll see a change in how games are played this year. Last year taught us that how you win is just as important as who you win against and I expect to see more teams pour it on in attempt to impress the committee.

I have a feeling VT is going to have a rough time of it tonight against Ohio State. If OSU gets beat this year I don't think it will be against one of the lesser ranked teams.

I'd like to bet on the game but a $50 bet pays less than $8 in winnings.

So you think VA Tech is a cream puff team. I think the VA Tech Hokies defeated Ohio State football team last year @ Ohio State. This is football season and let have some fun.

They( the team formerly known as VPI ) also lost to Wake Forest, that would mean cream puff status.

Will there be any reason to play out the season this year???

Who was the last team ranked first from start to finish? Looking for another top 20 season for Missouri.

Elan · Sep 8, 2015

I'll say this about last night's game: VT not having a 2nd string QB that was more game-ready than that kid was an embarrassment to their program. Although I think OSU would have still won handily, the Hokies were keeping it interesting until their starting QB broke his collarbone.

I honestly felt cheated as a fan to have to watch the remainder of that game, because it immediately went from semi-intriguing to a total mismatch.

And that is college football. How many other times has the back up come out and led his team to victory and a run after the starter goes down due to injury. You never know.

FSU in 99? :banana:

TUGBrian · Sep 8, 2015

and it begins.

now 10 SEC teams in the top 25...including every single team from the SEC west.

I think my favorite part of this weekend is how an unranked Texas A&M team beats the #15 ranked Arizona State team....and they wind up putting Texas A&M at 15, and unrank Arizona state.

thus whenever the SEC west teams play each other, they are all ranked teams they are beating/losing to! its a truly brilliant strategy.

sound logic if you ask me!

In the coach's poll it was Southern California in 2004 so it depends which poll you're talking about.

3 QBs down in a Season and Nat'l Champs!

Like Braxton Miller to JT Barrett to Cardale Jones?

I was hoping someone else would know the answer. I was just wondering when I asked. I'll give both you and Brian half credit!

From Yahoo! Sports:
Bret Bielema, now the coach at Arkansas, [on Tuesday] said: "Ohio State's ranked No. 1 and they have one game remaining on their schedule that has anybody ranked right now — Michigan State. We're going to play eight straight opponents that are ranked."... Arkansas does play eight ranked teams (not straight, but whatever) thanks to the fact that the SEC has a record 10 teams ranked in this week’s AP poll...

I was there when the H O K I E qb went down. It was one of those moments that you just knew he is not going to get past that hit
By the way, surgery went perfect !

csxjohn · Sep 9, 2015

You all can say what you want but OSU blew through the best of the best with their third string QB, that should say something about their character.

You don't remember last year how near the end of the season their second string QB went down, a team member committed suicide and with all that they won the Big Ten Title then went on to beat Alabama and Oregon to win the championship?

Maybe those three teams weren't the best out there but they all earned their way to play in those games against OSU.

Yeah, I remember. I'm just not sure what your comment had to do with anything being discussed.

This thread is intended to be about the current season. If you want to start a thread where you revel in the glory of OSU's championship, go ahead. But I'm pretty sure we already had one of those last season.

Have anything to contribute WRT the current college football season? Predictions, observations, comments on rankings, SOS, etc??????

John - one more incident like that, and your posting privileges on this thread will be revoked...

Hey, anyone remember that 1971 classic between Nebraska and Oklahoma? What a game!

My comment was in response to the post below so that's how my post relates to what is being discussed here. Some teams have good back ups, VT does not.
