Going to a yo-yo, everybody, Going to a yo-yo, come on now!☹️😍🤬❤️

With a true frosh QB who was stymied by SC tonight, the Buckeyes may be po'd, but can they make it matter on the field? Stop the run, win the game. Wisconsin, ranked for the first time in years, handled it well, right? A 30-0 beatdown by a Hawkeye team that showed no O last week vs. Minnesota. OK State lost in a defensive battle in Ames, Iowa, 51-49. Who is the Cyclones' OC? 😁 Miami and Indiana both escaped today. This is the Season of the Witch.

Hats off to play caller JJ! And to TE JJ, who came down with the game-clinching catch, bobble, catch, booble, CATCH! On to Columbus!

This season is going just as predicted, right? 🙃 https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/power-four-conference-championship-game-scenarios-sec-acc/?eid=c7d8647c6247db8d08c59fe44bc30380a147aa90b9e33099045cd46ddc6a485b&ftag=SNL-04-10aaa0b&ET_CID=596094&ET_RID=52482716

Sad, but true. Not in the top 25, you may as well be on Mars. No. 20 NW gets the Bird 3 times in a row! I imagine Buckeyes fans would be OK with this, right? 🤪

Don't get upset! https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ohio-state-georgia-top-25-upset-alert-week-9/?eid=c7d8647c6247db8d08c59fe44bc30380a147aa90b9e33099045cd46ddc6a485b&ftag=SNL-04-10aaa0b&ET_CID=596094&E

Heading into Week 9, Northwestern is ranked 17th in Strength of Record (SOR). NW's strength of schedule is ranked 53rd; the remaining SOS is ranked 12th. NW is ranked 20th in game control. Yes, the Wildcats' schedule has not been difficult to date, but NW has taken care of business. The one loss was on the road at No. 4 Indiana, where NW lost by two points. Oregon's SOS is ranked 18th, SOR 31. OBD has not taken care of business. Oregon is ranked 83rd in performance compared to predicted performance. AP No. 1 Miami's SOS is ranked No. 60. AP No. 6 Utah's SOS is ranked 88th. AP No. 7 UCLA's SOS is ranked 64th. AP No. 5 Notre Dame has played one top-25 opponent, No. 8 BYU, and lost. Pollsters and PO committee members may tout their use of statistics, but what matters is wins and losses and the Eye Test. Coach Pepper Rodgers: Two things matter in college football: the quality of your roster and your schedule. Oregon -3.5 vs. NW reflects Oregon's home record under Dan Lanning and the comparative difficulty in SOS to date. I expect NW will show up with the will to win a game it was given no chance to win in the preseason, behind a revitalized QB who is playing as well as any QB in the country. NW was down 17-0 in Bloomington. Aiden Chiles carved up the Hoosiers D in the second half and almost pulled off the win. NW played as well as Ohio State against Indiana, and Chiles didn't have Jeremiah Smith to pass the ball to. If Oregon doesn't come out with a desire to win, this could be Drew Mestemaker and OK State redux. A superior roster, if not coupled with a will to win, means zip. It's CFB. NW's QB is better than Oregon's QB. Will the Ducks' D win the game?

Experience is an understatement. Oregon is his 13th stop🤢, and his first play-calling effort for OBD falls on Halloween. 😩

And not just in Eugene; it's coast-to-coast crazy. UCLA vs. Kentucky for the title? In football? Is the Apocalypse here? 🤪

38 -17 Welcome to today's Northwest, Northwestern. A block off the old Chip. 1 1 205 Am I happy now? 🤬🤬🤬

Thank you, Doctor J. You're living in primo golf country, and yes, it does just mean more, even with the inestimable Steve Spurrier no longer on the Gamecocks' sideline; a place where Augusta National member and USC(E) coach Lou Holtz also roamed. IMO, the person who made the biggest difference in B1G football was Urban Meyer, who headed North from Florida and brought the SEC take-no-prisoners recruiting attitude along with him. With a backup QB starting for Ohio State on Saturday night in LA, ESPN reached out to the 3rd-string QB, Cardale Jones, who won a title (sigh), and I quote: 'Marcus Mariota was an amazing college QB, better than me every day of the week. But every starting O-lineman and four of the backups who blocked for me played in the NFL. Along with 10 starters on the defense. The Bama players were shocked by what we brought South to match up against the No. 1 playoff seed. If I'd played better, the game wouldn't have been so close." Thank you for the reply, Doctor, and enjoy the game. If misery loves company, this season Oregon is shoulder-to-shoulder with A&M. I hope the Gamecocks keep on bouncing back. Norris plays as he has lately, and I like South Carolina's chances against Oklahoma in Norman on Saturday. GO DUCKS!

Doctor Jack, do you reside in South Carolina? Or are you an A&M fan? We're in Aiken. If you live in the Palmetto State, it would be great to connect. Duck fan Notalot resides in Greenville. I understand that a game in Columbia is a terrific experience. In 2024, the week before Nebraska played Ohio State, the Cornhuskers were destroyed at Indiana 56-7. Along with the entire team, Raiola no-showed in Bloomington. The following week, with the yet-to-be-crowned 2024-25 champion Buckeyes (sigh) coming off a bye, Nebraska lost 21 to 17, and Raiola had the ball at game's end and came close to producing a huge upset in Columbus. This is the problem we see with Raiola; it's the penthouse or the outhouse. The erratic play from a 5-star experienced QB is hard to understand. Nebraska Cornhuskers OC Dana Holgerson and HC Matt Rhule experienced the good Dylan in the 4th quarter in Autzen, but were not that sorry to see him leave Lincoln. IMO, unless Dan can find a Joe Moore-contending O-line out of the portal, find a dual-threat QB who makes it an 11-on-11 game.

Sorry, but I'm missing Linc's articles. 🤪
