  1. Gary Danielson is the worst. They know it's Bama and nobody else in the SEC, so they need Bama to win the SEC to have a shot.

     

    They (Danielson and that demented quack Verne) are like a mini propaganda machine.

     

    Verne is like what I would be if I was drunk and concussed trying to call a game.

     

    "WHOA LOOK OUT THAT WAS A LOT OF CONTACT LOOK OUT THAT'S NICK SABAN BAMA PORK CHOPS ISOSCELES"

  2. It's hard to watch Alabama on CBS. It's so obvious their broadcasters are pulling heavily for them. You'd think they were playing on the Crimson Tide network

     

    I've been saying this for years. I hate both of them. Before Bama's rise to power, they were Tebow homers.

  3. After tonight, 3 of the last 5 teams the Buckeyes have played will have been against Blue-Bloods (Michigan, Notre Dame and Oklahoma)

     

    That's a cool stat.

     

    And to think we still have to play Nebraska (blue blood). And if we get matched up against another blue blood in the playoffs (Alabama or Texas, for instance), that would make 5 of the 8 blue bloods played in what amounts to one calendar year. In fact if we got 2 blue bloods in playoffs then we could get 6 of 8 (which is one away from all that would be possible, since we can't play ourselves).

     

    Also I am considering the following to be the blue bloods

     

    Alabama

    Notre dame

    Ohio state

    Oklahoma

    USC

    Texas

    Michigan

    Nebraska

  4. AP POLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

     

    1 Alabama

    2 Clemson

    3 FSU

    4 Ohio St

    5 Michigan

    6 Houston

    7 Stanford

    8 Wash

    9 UGA

    10 Wisconsin

    11 Texas

    12 MSU

    13 Louisville

    14 Oklahoma

    15 TCU

    16 Iowa

    17 Tennessee

    18 Notre Dame

    19 Ole Miss

    20Texas A&M

    21 LSU

    22 Oklahoma St.

    23 Baylor

    24 Oregon

    25 Miami

     

    Some thoughts:

     

    - I kind of like that the AP voters were just like "fuck it let's just slot Texas and Wisconsin in here because last week we didn't know either of them existed"

     

    - top 5 seems about right

     

    - top 10 seems about right, too, I guess.

     

    - LSU should be nowhere close to the top 25. Wisconsin dominated them, really

     

    - Ole Miss likely shouldn't have dropped that far. FSU has a solid team and were playing what amounted to a home game

     

    - LOL Tennessee where dat hype train goin'

  5. Nonsense, Alabama could lose to Alcorn State right now and still make the playoffs.

     

    They'll likely lose to Ole Miss, and then ESPN will be sure to tell us this is because of how rigorous the SEC West is, and how Ole Miss "has their number," and how Alabama "didn't want to be there," etc., etc.

     

    Ole Miss didn't look terrible. I agree, their QB is an idiot. He's like Christian Hackenburg: the longer he is in college the worse he appears to play.

     

    Florida State has a lot of talent. I think they are one of the few teams that has the talent/athleticism to be able to play with the likes of Alabama.

  6. I was pulling for Texas for several reasons:

     

    1. There's never a bad time for Notre Dame to lose.

     

    2. As an Ohio State fan, I want Notre Dame to have as many losses as possible. An undefeated Notre Dame is a lock for the playoff, and thus would take away a slot.

     

    3. As an Ohio State fan, I want Strong to turn it around at Texas just enough to take him off the hot seat so that the Texas job doesn't become available and, hence, Herman doesn't take it. Rather, I'd like for Herman to hang out at Houston for a couple more years and wait for Meyer to retire here and then return to be the head coach at Ohio State.

     

    Some other takeaways:

     

    1. Baylor can die in a car fire. I didn't like them before, now I just despise them. They are trying to play this "us against the world" mentality. Yes, because rapists should all band together and fight against the oppression. The struggle is real.

     

    2. Penn State fans are delusional. It's embarrassing how blind they are to the whole Joe Pa shit. I lost what little respect I had for that program a long time ago.

     

    3. Alabama looks scary good on defense. It's amazing what they have going on there right now.

     

    4. It was great to see USC get their asses handed to them. Though, had that game been played in, say, 2003, I bet it's USC that handed out the curbstomping. Alabama was down and out then, just kind of like USC is now.

     

    5. All the upsets in the opening weekend are great, but also just more evidence that preseason rankings are stupid.

     

    6. I love how Ohio State played. What's not to love, right? I'll pump my brakes before declaring JT the Heisman winner and Ohio State a lock for the playoff. However, it's a pretty good start to both. It's clear we have a shit ton of talent and how those recruiting classes are paying dividends. I'm excited to see this team play.

     

    7. The two QB crap last year fucked us up, I think. Psychologically, it has to just really mess with both QBs, which, in turn, affects their play negatively. Think about what would have happened had this been last year: JT throws that pick and would have got yanked with the quickness. This year, though, he's clearly the starter, so it's not like he has to worry about looking over his shoulder, etc. So, he goes back out and proceeds to throw 6 TD passes, runs for another, and sets a couple of records in the process. I don't think that happens last year.

     

    8. I think last year's team was complacent, played tight, and had one foot out the door on the way to the next level. Hopefully, the youth on this team will translate into hunger and a desire to dominate.
