Never had Louisville in. Lamar Jackson was exposed. Great numbers against bad teams, not so much against good ones. And don't say "He threw for over 300 yards" because most of that was after score was 33-7.

CFB season is right around the corner. Despite the long-demanded playoff, there are still only a handful of teams that can win the Natty. So here we go....

SEC-Bama, Auburn, Florida. Georgia is a dark horse but I'm leaving them out. Auburn has been crushing recruiting.
ACC-Florida State, Clemson. Not buying Miami or Louisville. FSU is stacked!
Big 10-Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan. Not feeling Wisconsin. Michigan should be left out but Harbaugh is a genie.
Big 12-Oklahoma, Okie State. Herman needs another year at Texas then it might just be Texas all day.
Pac 12-USC, Stanford, Washington. Tempted to leave Washington out but I think they win the North and will have a shot to beat USC.

That's 14 and I could easily reduce it to 10.

Personal playoff teams:
Bama, FSU, Ohio State, USC. Big 12 left out again.
Of these, I think Stanford is the only sure out. I still think Florida has a chance to win the East and, with that, a chance to beat 'Bama or Auburn.

Yep, against backups. Petrino left the 1st string offense in to pad Lamar's stats against 3rd and 4th stringers on Clemson's defense.

TCU vs Oklahoma State should be one exciting game, if you like scoring

KY over FL seems like the only possible Top 25 upset. But I really want to take Colorado over Washington.

Penn State seems to have something going right. If FSU was on the road at NC State, I'd take that one. NC State has a really good D-line.

Butch Jones has to go. How many chances do you give a backup frosh kicker because you like him?

1 for 4 now. Cost the Florida game and missed against UMass in an embarrassing first quarter.


Get a clue, numbnuts.

This is the most disgusting display of apathy and garbage football I have ever watched.

Shame on the entire program.

And in a 1 possession game, with the QB position NOT the problem, he brings in the backup who has shown zero ability to do anything so far this year.

3 and out, 4 yards backwards. Awesome.

Polls remain a joke. Only shocked that FSU didn't somehow stick around as #25, they are such a voter darling.
