Thanks again, Mario.

The hits keep coming. Moss wants to transfer from QB Whisperer Riley to Michigan, where the RPO is RPO.

This is the year that "We want Alabama" would be okay, except it might hurt OBD's SOS. Milroe is exactly the wrong QB for DeBoer's system. You know who would be great in it? His initials are DG. If Oregon was still in the Pac-12, and they had beaten tOSU again, it would have just been an upset. Being in the B1G makes all the difference. On the first Playoff reveal show, Oregon at No.1 wasn't even up for discussion, it was, "Oregon is No.1, moving on" Not even TOSU honk, Joey Galloway had anything to say. The game that really will have some implications for the playoff's this week isn't Alabama @ LSU, it's Michigan @ Indiana. If Michigan can beat Indy, or even keep it to 7-10 points, we'll start to think, or if Indy treats Michigan the same way they treated State last week? Ohio State & Oregon will have some work to do. If the top 6 teams from the B1G & the top 6 from the SEC merged, that would be a Super conference.

There is a thought that the offense is flourishing as it is this year, by design, with DG's accuracy and timely runs leading the Ducks to 9-0 and No.1

Ridiculous omission, but Michigan @ Indiana, Oregon @ Wisconsin, Penn State @ Minnesota, Washington @ Oregon and Michigan @ tOSU??? All those mentioned are right there with Finebaum's "Vandy could."

It is. In the 4-team format, the SEC team always got 2 L's before they were eliminated. Now, Alabama or LSU are out when one of them has 3?, the other is still in with 2? I'm trying to see where else that consideration is given, and " Vandy could beat" is right there with "You could get wet if you stood in the rain." Would is the word you're looking for, Paul.

No offense to Jeanty, who is having an incredible year, at Boise State, in the MWC. I think if he were on a P4 school, he'd still have a great year, like a bunch of other great RB's on other P4 schools. He would probably be splitting time with another talented RB going against superior teams than he is now.

I agree. Penn State, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, USC, Washington, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Michigan State, UCLA Northwestern, Maryland, Rutgers. Purdue.

Ducks 48-17 3 turnovers 3 sacks 306 passing yards

"5 to 7 points" will still cover +13.5 Washington.

This is why Saban was so great for so long. Alabama did nothing but recruit 4 & 5 stars while Saban was there. I'm sure he was great with the X's & O's, but his ability to blend the star's and eliminate complacency is what made him the GOAT. Looks like Lanning is starting the right way.

That's a shame, losing a pet, your furry friend, you never get over it.

Agree on all counts. Jeanty is having a great year, running primarily against MWC competition, that has to come under consideration, same as Ward-ACC, Hunter-Big 12. Gabriel has led the Ducks to No.1, undefeated against more top 25 teams than the other 3 candidates combined.

Very true, as Charles likes to say, it's "Good vs. Good"

Complete credit to Lanning, the "spread the punt line" did require UM to line up wrong to get the penalty called.

Except for the B1G teams that are playing, without a "Clue"

A rematch would be problematic; but that would be a game of adjustments & I like Oregon in that situation. If Indiana can beat tOSU in the 'shoe, they'd be a very scary, unknown opponent.

Conversation is what a Forum is for, great conversation is what we have here, go around to the other sites, but don't stay too long. Trying to find the original point in a topic is almost impossible, having long ago been buried by personal attacks and completely irrelevant comments.

After this season, no way does Miami lose the ACC title game. Cig's line is Chip worthy.

Exactly!

It's an interesting premise, David, but I disagree with it. It isn't their fault, but Hunter, Jeanty & Ward have all made the best of playing against inferior opponents the whole season, except Jeanty, who's Boise State team. did play an Oregon team, that was finding its footing, early in the season and lost. The three players are doing what's expected of them against inferior opponents. Is Jeanty "certainly the best running back in all of college football this season? He's certainly the best playing against the competition he's faced. Ward too, has put up great numbers against week competition, but needed a lot of help to get wins. Hunter at Colorado, great player, both sides of the ball. Colorado is 6-2, the best team they have played is Nebraska, who buried them. Meanwhile Gabriel is the QB of the No.1 team in the country, putting up great numbers, except in the 2nd half, and his team has 3 top 25 wins. He has had Heisman moments when the pressure was on, the other 3 haven't faced pressure like that. The timing of the Heisman is just fine.

Yes, OBD will show their mettle. Wisconsin fans can "Jump around" all they want, won't matter.

Oh yeah, Classic it is!!!
