Saban would know, if any team ad reason to become complacent it was all his Alabama teams. I still think it's good that OBD are No.1. It's a great opportunity to learn how to handle being an elite team, and Lanning appears to know what to do. Indiana isn't No.1, but if a team could be complacent, it's one that has the highest margin of victory, 35.0, has yet to trail at any time, and is undefeated. It doesn't get a lot harder for a while, Washington, Michigan State, Michigan, then Ohio State.

It didn't look great, knocked the Ducks down in the poll, but playing No.16 Boise State in the second game helped.

NFL against the Vikings, wants the Rams to Win. Somebody in LA has to.

Young, No.50 on the Rams, knows immediately that he grabbed the facemask.

While Rutgers’ momentum has slowed since its 4-0 start, I still think this team is of a similar caliber to USC for broad strokes purposes. 14 points is too many for a game where home field doesn’t figure to be a huge factor outside of travel implications.

Purdue scoring 49 points in the next couple of weeks is hard to take seriously.

It's definitely trending that way, me an' PawL sure don't see Kalen TheBore gettin' that one!

Washington shouldn't have beaten Oregon twice last season, part of the reason Oregon was favored in the Pac-12 Championship was because Washington won the first time, then Washington wins again. All things considered it's better if Ohio State doesn't play Oregon again this season.

Another one that works here: "Better to let people think you're stupid than to open your mouth and prove it."

I'd much rather face Penn State, or Indiana, in the B1G Championship, than play Ohio State again...though I'll be surprised if Ohio State loses to either Penn State or Indiana.

I really don't want Ohio State to leave the B1G on OBD's account, but if they're already this upset maybe it would be for the best.

Oh, yes, Illinois is trying to get as much as it can from playing the No.1 Oregon Ducks!

Apparently $UC isn't a thing in LA anymore, which game is going to get more viewers, Boise State @ UNLV on CBS Sports Network, kickoff, 7:30 or Rutgers @ $UC, after the Yankees -Dodgers? How many Rutgers fans are watching a game starting after 11:00 at night?

Vikings irate after no-call on face mask results in safety - ESPN Video WWW.ESPN.COM The Vikings are irate after Byron Young appears to grab Sam Darnold's face mask while sacking him in the end zone for a safety.

Last night Pitt beat Syracuse, 41-13. Notable in the game were the 3 pick-6's by Syracuse QB, Kyle McCord, who transferred from Ohio State, in the 1st half. He had two other INT's that weren't returned for touchdowns. McCord’s hellish night ended in “Play the Benny Hill theme” fashion when the former Ohio State star sacked himself on his final play of the 41-13 loss when he tripped over his own feet for a self-sack.

Navy staying undefeated by beating Notre Dame would be great, yeah, go Missouri!, knock 'bama completely out of the 25. Wisky could be a trap for PSU with Ohio State next week. Rutgers over U$C tonight! How does Indiana with the back-up QB handle U dud?

It seems like the only fans that $UC has now are old TV guys like Cowherd Full of KLATT. Kids, recruits don't know a winning USC team. Riley won in a 1 horse Big 12, and the Power brokers at $UC though he would do it in the B1G. Now their stuck with the $80M coach, players de-committing and transferring, and the fans have always been frontrunners.

SC guys actually had more positives to say about Oregon than they did about USC. I'd love to win a Natty in the next 3-4 years, but if it takes until 5 years, that will be okay. SC guys don't sound like anything good is happening at SC for a long, long time.

Yes, there's little nuance to his role, and his never subtle position that he's right. On today's show he was making his point that Oregon's defense, giving up 31 to Ohio State, was perhaps not all that much and could have trouble in the future, seeming not to be aware that Ohio State's D gave up 32.

In fact, Aaron Fentress insists he is not a "Hater" and he performs a necessary function on "Talkin' Ducks". The show would be useless, and boring, if it was nothing but happy talk about the Ducks every week. It is good to hear, perhaps a negative spin, if only to make the positive even stronger afterwards. So, while Fentress frustrates me every week, I appreciate it.

I'll go with that.
