I thought the games were fun to ponder and then see the results on the field. I love how the strengths of the leagues are no longer theoretical. We have data. The ACC is bad, and the B1G is good. SEC remains to be seen.

The big news they’re reporting is that 42% of resale tickets are going to TN residents. That means there’s another 58% of tickets going to other people. That doesn’t sound unusual at all. Less than half the resales are going to the other team. So what?

It’s a feel good story—a participation trophy. Lame.

My head wants OSU2 to win and assert further B1G dominance over the SEC and crush UTn. And for the $$$. My hearts wants OSU2 (especially Ryan Day) to be humiliated at home twice in a row. With the predicted weather, it could be the best of both worlds—they both play terribly but OSU2 squeaks out a lucky win (only to be destroyed 12 days later).

I’m a homer, but this is based on who I would actually like to play for and who I think could develop me as a player. 1. Lanning - OBD 2. Dilly - ASU 3. Cig - IU 4. Smart - UG 5. Swinny - Clemson 6. Franklin - PSU 7. Lashlee - SMU 8. Freeman - ND 9. Danielson - BSU 10. Huepel - UTn 11. Day - OSU2 12. Sark - UTx (UW/ USuC)

No NFL team wants him. Otherwise, he’d already be there. You don’t go from the Patriots to the Tar Heels if there’s an NFL nibble.

There are probably a ton of recruits who only know Belicheck from the Aaron Hernandez movie. 😬

I think this is a great idea! Especially, if you’re in the playoffs! In the new world of professional college football, it’s all business.

AND we have the highest average player ranking. Double the number of 5 stars than 3 stars!

I think they can both lose and look bad doing it.

So what is Harrington suggesting? That the Ducks intentionally lose the CCG? Or just not try as hard? Not open the playbook? What? Championship teams win, no matter who they play. OBD better play to win.

Is it normal for teams to have 150 players? Either way, with a limit if 105 players, you would think they would need even more to transfer out in order to make room for a normal high school recruiting class. If not, then that’s really the story: Nebraska is not expecting to sign a single high school recruit.

Definitely Patrick Herbert.

We get the ball after half. That first drive could be the whole ballgame.

I’m actually surprised how few injuries DL’s teams have. I remember the Cristobal years had so many inexplicable injuries. I think teams should be required to publicly report on the number, type, and time of recovery for all injuries. If I’m a player, I want to know where I’m safest. I think it’s an important stat in evaluating a coaching staff. It could be something like the expected time out for jnjury per player per season.

https://n.rivals.com/team_rankings/2025/all-teams/football/recruiting According to RIVALS, OBD have 4 5* and only 2 3*!! Based on players’ star rating, OBD is #1 on RIVALS. @Charles Fischer are we entertained?

Cowherd is a coward following the herd. You’re never going to get fired for predicting Ohio State and Texas in the Natty.

I remember players quoted in the MH years saying football wasn’t fun anymore. I can’t imagine any of DL’s players saying that.

My counterpoint is that he won most of those games in the weak B12 and lost the vast majority of big games.

As an Angeleno, I can say with certainty that NO ONE will be watching the spoiled children on Saturday. U$C football is not a thing here. I have friends in the bar business, and there is no amount of hype that will get attention for U$C.

Stupidest ranking ever. Texas’ best win is against unranked OK. But they’re in the SEC, so they’re “obviously” #1. While we have wins over #5 and #13.

I am very upset about it. I paid a lot for tickets to the game this weekend and almost don’t want to go now. And with all the stupidity of the network wars, this season has been a giant PiTA.

As far as I am concerned, ODB are 1-1 against tOSU. They beat us for all the marbles, but we beat them in their home. They also beat us without our 2 best receivers and one of our best DBs (amongst other shenanigans). We beat them fresh from the off-season. This might be famous last words, but I think DL is gonna wipe the floor all Day.

Ha! I am a software engineer too! And the best solutions always appear in the shower. This why we are compensated by complexity and not for how long our butts are in our seats.
