Miami - No. 5 - Nice win over ND, but - 9/11/21 - OBD 35 - Ohio State 28 Including putting Joe Moorhead in the hospital, and a choke job at ASU, Mario failed to put the icing on what should have been a spot in the PO. Will we see a redux of a late 2024 Miami at Syracuse choke?

A few Week-1 thoughts. Week 1- 86 transfer QBs started. So, should we 86 recruiting QBs and find our passers only from the portal? Sag on the rebound in 2026? One of the last QBs to transfer, Jake ("I was framed") Retzlaff, led Tulane to a beatdown of Northwestern, with Transfer QB Preston (Hands Of) Stone throwing four picks. NW takes over the Big's No. 18 spot from Purdue. Indiana led the entirety of its first eight games in 2024. In the opener against Old Dominion, the Hoosiers fell behind 11 seconds after kickoff. This had Cig smoking! Whether it's Jim Knowles or Matt Patricia, against TOSU, Sark's O goes dark. Golden Boy Archie threw more ad pitches on Saturday than he did TDs. Despite a pregame decapitation, the Duck and the Ducks carried on for a B1G opening win. Tacos were not on the concession menu, but Taco (Bell) Dowler balled out for the Bobcats. Do Not Blame the Messenger, please—the No. 1 player on Bill Connolly's Week 1 Heisman Ballot - UWho's B1G Co-O Player of the Week Jonah Coleman, with 177 rush yards, 1 catch for 22 yards, and a 26-yard KO return. UW will be 3-0 when 3-0 Ohio State pays a visit in Week 5. Week 5 will be B1G! Ohio State at UW; USC at Illinois; Indiana at Iowa, and a White Out at Penn State 😁! Lasso the Cowboys!

I think Gundy will find the Ducks and Autzen to be lactose intolerant. 😁

Do not sell this UW team short! UW was killing CO State stat-wise the entire game, but it only showed up on the scoreboard in the 2nd half. 513 total yards does not stink. 223 rush yards with Jonah Coleman putting up 177 of those yards is just fine. QB Demond Williams, who showed incredible guts against OBD last season, was 18 of 24 for 232 yards and a TD. I think the Over 7.5 wins is a solid bet, a bet my LV friends and I made in the preseason. UW will be far from an easy out. The yo-yo-like B1G schedule won't help the cause, but Ohio State, Illinois, and OBD had best be prepared for a 60-minute game in Seattle, against a well-coached team. On the road against Wazzu, Maryland, Michigan, Wisconsin, and UCLA are all winnable games. And Rutgers and Purdue in Seattle should be wins. This is a sleeper B1G champ and PO team that could go 10-2.

Great post, Gat, thank you. As Charles so noted, NIL, free agency, and now Revenue Sharing have spread talent around. However, in 2025-26, I believe we will see what we see almost every season: a team ranked in the top 6 in the preseason AP Poll winning it all. This season, how about a Yo 7! for OBD! Winning a Natty requires three or four wins against top competition and turns Cinderella into a PO Pumpkin. Watch out for Georgia. In the midst of Texas and Arch Madness and the 'no more baffling losses for Bama' rhetoric 😁, Georgia just keeps plugging away. IMO, three Nattys in five seasons would have the CFB Captain Ahabs chasing the Moby Dawgs.

Some interesting Week 1 results based on 247 Sports 2025 Composite Roster rankings. Four of the top-10 ranked teams, No. 2 Alabama, No. 4 Texas, No. 7 Clemson, and No. 9 Notre Dame, lost in Week 1. Texas and Clemson lost to the higher-ranked No. 3 Ohio State and No. 6 LSU, Notre Dame lost to No. 15 Miami, and Bama lost to No. 19 FSU. No. 26 UCLA (?) lost to No. 44 Utah, and No. 57 Northwestern lost to No. 68 Tulane. UCLA plays the highest-ranked G5 team, No. 51 UNLV, in Vegas this Saturday. No. 42 Iowa is the underdog, +2.5, on the road at No. 71 Iowa State this Saturday - Fox Big Noon game, 9 AM Pacific and 11 AM in Ames, Iowa No. 49 Oklahoma State rides into Eugene to play No. 5 OBD on Saturday.

One error that I found in the article. Notre Dame has a bye this week and hosts Texas A&M in Week 3. IMO, the ND conservative play calling last night played right into Mario's ground it out game plan.

Without Penix, perhaps DeBoer and UW would not have won all of those one-score games that led UW to a PO spot, a one-score win over Texas, and a champ game beat down from Michigan? Penix went with DeBoer because of a Hoosiers connection. All of the terrific WRs Penix threw the ball to were not recruited by DeBoer. Recruiting at Bama under DeBoer has been very good. With this talent, there should be no no-show games. In 14 games against unranked opponents, DeBoer is 6-4. In 128 games against unranked opponents, Nick Saban went 124-4. https://rolltidewire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/crimson-tide/football/2025/06/18/alabama-football-records-unbreakable-nick-saban-derrick-thomas-bear-bryant/84259608007/ DeBoer's hire is looking more and more like the Harsin hire at Auburn. It's one thing to lose to unranked FSU; it's another thing to get punched in the mouth and out-coached in the process. Bama plays on the road against Georgia, Mizzou, South Carolina, and Auburn, and plays Tennessee, LSU, Oklahoma, and Vandy 😁in Tuscaloosa. I don't think a mega-upset will happen when Wisconsin visits in Week 3, but the Badgers will come in 2-0 and with an improved defense. You're right not to knee jerk after Week 1, but none of the predictions that Bama would turn it around in 2025 with a terrific O-line, defense, and Ryan Grubb to call the plays for Ty Simpson panned out in Tallahassee. DeBoer has a huge buyout (why these ADs do not contract for a Right of 1st Refusal if the coach gets another offer is baffling) but if Bama misses the expanded PO back-to-back, He Gone! And Danno will receive another salary bump. 😍

Thank you, David. And thank you, Natalie. No one appreciates an excellent editing job more than I do. What's the news on Hughes? Will OBD receive a positive ROI? I hope so, but as you noted, with or without Mahki, Will Stein has a deep RB room to work with. Great first outing from Benson. OBD sent a darn good Benson to FSU, the top RB on an undefeated Seminoles team. Wouldn't it be nice if FSU returned the favor? Love the Triple Lindy Skadoo! I said, 'Shotgun!' formation. Right out of backyard ball with the neighborhood boyz, where little brothers blocked and big bros played QB or went deep. 😁 A perfect result from a perfectly scheduled, and sold out 🤑let's get the Duck feet wet game. Lasso the Cowboys!

Welcome back, Buckeye! Matt Patricia at DC was a 'pretty good' hire. 😊 ESPN - FPI - BIAS? Res Ipsa Loquitur! 🤬 Texas is still No.1, right🙃? Conference champ game? How about 1/19/2026 - Hard Rock Stadium - Miami Gardens, Florida?
