His teams were all hype the last few years.

bye les

yep. no offense

That's what I tell my wife all the time: Buy less.

Just clicking ....

Am I the only one surprised that Notre Dame is unranked? Even though they are 1-3?

at the beginning of the year i would have been stunned, but i'm not now. their d is bad and they are having some leadership issues IMO

Yes... No team should be ranked at 1-3... Doesn't matter how much talent you have... Especially after losing to duke....

Agreed, though I was being snarky. It always seems ND gets props and love, no matter what. I would not be shocked if they were receiving votes.

Maybe.

They were over ranked at the beginning of the season.


Truthfully, I'd love if "rankings" didn't happen until week 4 or 5.

Always think back to the year USC, Oklahoma, and Auburn went undefeated.

USC and OK were just fine, staying atop the rankings all season..

But Auburn (and Utah and Boise) had to climb the rankings just to even get considered..

Ironically Auburn was left out, after going undefeated in the SEC, because of a weak Strength of Schedule.

And offensive coordinator Cam Cameron (who was running an offense from 1994).

Cameron failed because LSU has never cared about the quarterback position.

I think you need to watch him before making comments. The guy looks great.

Here's your stereotypical SEC QB. There's not much else that needs to be said.

great week again ... tennessee/uga is solid, so is Louisville/Clemson

I also LOVE a good thurs/fri night game

Yeah, that Toledo game is gonna be great.

GO TOLEDO!

The Louisville/Clemson game should be epic. Man, what a great early-season game.

I am also very interested in the Wisconsin/TUN game.

And the Stanford/Washington game on Friday night is cool.

speaking of which, i was invited to a toledo game in a few weeks. Might be making the trip

I'm not sold on him. Man, he looks the part and he can make all the throws that wow you but some of the things he does just leave you scratching your head.

yeah, he's a hothead and makes poor decisions at times

Mitch Trubisky of UNC is worth watching. He has the size, physical attributes and is improving every game. He also does a REALLY good job protecting the football.

I wanna like him, but yes, he does force the ball way too often.

So he's Jay Cutler?

Ejuan Price is the 2nd best defensive player in college football-

Absolute terror of the edge and a beast against the run. His fatal flaw is his height.

He's more athletic with a little bit weaker arm IMO

He played HS at Mentor,damn fine QB

He's bigger than Jatavis Brown who is tearing it up for the Chargers so far.

That'a actually a pretty decent analogy based on what I see. I've honestly never witnessed him being a "hot head" just wreckless with the football. Some coach is going to see him in shorts and think he's amazing and believe that he can coach that wrecklessness out of him... it's a pretty big gamble.

No, candy, we're not even at week 4 of THIS season. Please, don't start the mock draft stuff already. Please?

With all due respect Arch, there isn't much else to discuss college football related. It's an effort to promote discussion. Nobody ever talks about OSU unless it's gameday or a day after / before. Nobody discusses other teams or recruiting.

What would you like the discussion in this thread to be about?

College football work for you?

And the NFL draft does not relate to college football? I find it humorous that you as a non-active poster on this thread wish to dictate the terms of discussion. Why? So you can ignore it for another 5 pages?

I hear what you are saying. I do think it is too early in the season to talk about mock drafts.

I have some suggestions on what to talk about. Of course, most posters don't seem too interested in the things that interest me, so there is that..........LOL..........but, you asked and I will give my opinion.

--Which teams are most likely to make the playoffs.

--Which players we should be watching.

--Strengths and weaknesses of conferences.

--Coaches on the rise.

--Rivalries.

--Sleeper teams and players.

--Best announcers in college football......I am only half joking.

Oh, and I meant no disrespect w/that post. I just think it is a bit early for mock drafts. I do think it is about time to start evaluating players, though.

Fair compromise?

That's a fair compromise Vers.
