I have no beef with Freeman. I have a beef with Georgia and Penn State having played one more game, against an excellent opponent, than Notre Dame last season, and that ND played four G5 opponents in 2024. I also have a beef with an AD having the same voting power as a conference commissioner, at least the Power 2 commissioners. Chris Ash is not doing the job as Al Golden's replacement at DC.

Great take. It's hard to win football games. The 100% accomplishment vs. NW, there were no penalties called on OBD.

The Athletic's Bruce Feldman rates the candidates for the UCLA job in this order - USC DC - D'Anton Lynn - 2nd-highest-paid assistant coach in the country behind Jim Knowles. Penn State grad. Lynn was contacted by PSU for the DC job before Lynn was hired. Baylor HC - Dave Aranda - LA guy. Kelani Satke - HC BYU Tosh Lupoi - OBD DC FSU DC and UCLA grad Tony White. Browns OC Tommy Rees New Mexico HC- Jason Eck Rivals has UCLA ranked 49th in recruiting.

One thing I do know, I'd love to be Pat Fitzgerald's agent. 🤑Pat has to be on the Wisconsin AD's speed dial. AD train wreck, Dan Guerrero, put UCLA athletics in the deep red. Jim Mora never should have been fired. What bona fide coach would want to coach football in Westwood? Basketball, yes. But football. Brent Pry was a graduate assistant at VA Tech before serving as James Franklin's DC at Penn State from 2016 through 2021. Could Michael Vick return to his alma mater? How about a return home for South Carolina coach Shane Beamer? Vandy beat up the Gamecocks yesterday, but the damage was done after QB Sellers left with a concussion. Beamer's done a very good job at USC(e), including on the recruiting front, but the Gamecocks' next SEC title will be the first. At VA Tech, Shane played on 3 teams that won Big East Conference championships.

Week 3 AP Poll - 11 SEC teams ranked. Last week, Michigan lost at Oklahoma and dropped nine spots. Yesterday, Tennessee lost at home and dropped 0 spots. 0-2 Notre Dame is still in the top 25. 12-team playoff sees 11 Oklahoma and 13 Ole Miss as the teams knocked out by 12 Iowa State and 32 Tulane. Greg Sankey's response: 🤬🤬🤬 No. 6 seed OBD would host No. 11 Iowa State in the 1st round. Win and it's LSU in the Sugar Bowl. 😧 AP NewsNCAA College Football Rankings: AP Top 25 Football PollThe official page for the AP Top 25 college football poll, a tradition since 1936.

Many of the highly preseason-touted QBs in Dixie have failed to play as advertised. Cade Klubnik, Archie, Lagway threw 5 picks yesterday 😧, even LSU's Nussmeier has not played to the level expected preseason. Gunnar Stockton came threw 😁 yesterday with a late and great TD throw and a toss for a 2-point conversion. Ditto Marcel Reed. And how about Ole Miss backup QB Trinidad Chambliss, who transferred in from Ferris State and won a shootout against Boise State transfer Taylen Green and Arkansas. 0-2 Notre Dame's trip to Arkansas could be the nail in the Irish PO coffin. Other than at LSU, is there a D in the SEC?

UCLA paid the New Mexico Lobos $1,250,000.00 to visit the Rose Bowl and Win the Day in LA. The official attendance was reported as 31,123. Folks on hand say that the 'real attendance' was less than half of the official attendance. Rumor has it that most of Nico's family decided not to attend. 😉

I hope BTN announcers show up in Autzen to do a live broadcast and not an off-screen broadcast from Chicago. How's Rico paying off? At 0-2, with losses to UNLV and New Mexico, the far from frosty Foster's have moved into the Mountain West basement. The basement is located in Cheyenne Mountain, where the Bruins' D is probably safe from being bombed. 😁 UCLA is checking with Cal to see if the Golden Bears will accept an We O U?

How about A&M! First win on the road against a top 10 team since 2014. 13 road games vs. top-10 losses before tonight's win in South Bend. ND at Arkansas this Saturday won't be a lay-up for the Irish. The Hogs on the road at Ole Miss were in the game to the very end of a seven-point loss shoot-out. ND, without another top 25-ranked opponent on the schedule to date, could be in PO trouble. With Pitt losing the Back Yard Brawl game to the West Virginia Rich-Rods, USC, 3-0, and a 33-17 winner at Purdue, could be the Domers' only top-25 opponent hope.

With Ls vs UNLV and New Mexico, UCLA has secured last place in the Mountain West. Nico - 'This is what I get for coming home?' I hope our friend Nevada Dawg, ND, didn't have to call on an MD as the Dawgs somehow walk away with another W over the Vols. Fantastic game! 1901 - last time TOSU lost to an in-state opponent, but Ohio kept it close until it didn't. Michigan, in a walkover game, decides to play the O it should have last week. Perhaps Sherrone should serve more minutes in the penalty box. Beavis should have snuck out during the weather delay. And Wazzu? Thanks for being the weeds mowed down by The Big Green Machine. 1st huge game of the season next Saturday when OBD faces the top team in the Pac-12, right? This year's Indiana could well be ... Indiana. 73-0 Largest Hooisir shutout since 1901. In honor of two B1G 1901's, Hats Off to Teddy Roosevelt! This year's 2024 FSU could be Clemson. Sue your ACC off at your own risk? USC 33 - Purdue 17 - SC wins its first B1G road game as a conference member and goes 1-9 in its last 10 road games in the Eastern time zone; first win since 2012. Great News! OBD is now 1-1 vs, the NW Wildcats! 1974? What are you good for? Absolutely Nothing!

OBD - TCB in CHI 😍

Holy Hoosier! 73-0 over Indiana State. I guess the 3-0 Hoosiers were perfect from the 3-point line. 😁 Interesting game next Saturday when the about-to-be 3-0 Illinois visits 3-0 Indiana. Meanwhile, Syracuse brushed off (🤪) Colgate 66 to 24.

After watching Caleb Downs in the Rose Bowl, I'm certain OBD was looking for a guy with the same kind of skills. Two games to go, and don't count your Ducks before the eggs hatch, but the chess match on both sides of the ball in the middle of a White Out should be fascinating. Thanks again to you, Coach, Charles, Mike West, David Marsh, and other enlightened X+O posters for providing a deeper dive into the nuances not readily apparent to the viewer. (Especially after a 'few' primo IPAs 😁)
