Thanks, Mike. I respectfully demur, backed by my Vegas buddies and I having skin in this game. All of Ewers' 2024 top targets, including a top drawer TE, are gone. 1 starter on the O line returns for Texas. The Longhorns' great D in 2024 was lit up by Clemson and ASU. Targeting is called as it should have been, and ASU wins the Peach Bowl and advances to play TOSU. As much as the Texas D stymied Ohio State, the Buckeyes offense, after a flawless Rose Bowl game (😒) incurred nine penalties for 75 yards. Smith will be super fired up to make folks forget about being shut down in the Cotton Bowl. It's not just Smith. Tate and Innis are very good WRs. Purdue transfer TE Max Klare is better than what the Buckeyes had at TE last season. Four starters return on the O line, buttressed by OT Onianwa, a portal 4*, who transferred in from Rice. Archie could not beat out 7th-round draft pick Quinn Ewers. Ewers led Texas to back-to-back semifinal game PO appearances. Archie's wins as a stater were over Mississippi State and two G5 teams. I don't believe Sayin's play at QB could be any worse than the Michigan QB play versus Texas in 2024. Michigan's passing attack in 2024 was superior only to the three service academies. Sayin has much better receivers to throw to. Ryan Day is 27-3 in Ohio Stadium. At Texas, Sark has one road win against a top 5 ranked team, defeating Bama in Tuscaloosa in 2023 before Bama had figured out the QB position. My LV friends and I like Texas -2.5. Should be a terrific game.

Penn State rarely loses in Beaver (?) Stadium. At least 3 of the -4.5 points are home-field advantage. Yet in White Out games that are reserved for the Nits biggest home game, unless PSU is out-Foxed and Noonered like last season vs. Ohio State, the White Out record is 12-8. Both of PSU's returning RBs, Singleton and Allen, rushed for over 100 yards in the champ game. Good thing for PSU as Allar finished 20-29, 226 yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs. The leading receiver, TE Ty Warren, had 7 catches for 84 yards. The top WR had 54 yards in receptions. Ty has left the building. PSU opened the wallet to attempt to improve at WR, zero WR receptions in the loss to Notre Dame, and on paper, the position has improved. But that's on paper. Has Allen improved? Like boss-man James Franklin, Allar has come up small in the biggest games. One can only hope that Oregon's D will be better prepared for the PSU O. And by game 5, with a road game to Chicago included, the kinks on O should be ironed out. Plus, don't discount the impact of Forum Fanatics being at the game. 😁 If Mahki is the man and the O line plays as touted, we may see more of a ball control game from OBD. It's bad and sad for PSU that the hurdling Sadiq is back.

CBS is buying the biased FPI rankings used by Sankey to support a 16-team field and the SEC staying at 8 conference games. It's male bovine horse manure! It's self-evident that half of the teams in a conference that plays 8 conference games will have one fewer loss than conferences that play 9 conference games. Did Sankey adjust the FPI rankings for this inconvenient fact? ESPN owns, controls, and programs the FPI. ESPN talking heads last season couldn't stop whining about 3-loss SEC teams not being in the field. This whining came before Tennessee took over Ohio Stadium, so the Vols fans had an up-close and personal view of their team being trashed. Before an undermanned 5-loss Michigan team defeated Alabama. Before a 9-3 South Carolina team lost to a 9-3 Illinois team. 9-3 Ole Miss defeated a middle-of-the-pack ACC team, Duke, that played without its starting QB. Way to go! The FPI preseason top 25 ranks 13 SEC teams in the top 25. That's 81.25% of the conference. In a court of law, this biased piece of trash would be thrown out of court in a heartbeat. ESPN's Bill Connolly's SP+ poll is slightly better; it has only 11 SEC teams in the top 25. Ipso facto, with 13 SEC teams ranked, every conference game other than games between Arkansas, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt will be FPI top 25 vs. top 25 matchups. How can anyone past puberty and not southern-fried fall for this stuff? The B12's approval of five automatic qualifiers, seven at-large PO format, is contingent on all conferences playing nine conference games. Petitti must insist on the same criteria, or it's a B1G bend over. Is CB$ aware that it's the B1G buttering its bread? Unless the metrics the CFB committee uses are publicly disclosed and the variance from the metrics when ranking teams is explained, such as Boise State with an SOS in the 80s being ranked 9th, the metrics will be a smoke screen for the Eye Test.

That's like your opinion, Man. Way too early Week 5 predictions: Penn State v.

The Nittany Lions open their season with a t 4 of PSU's preseason -4.5 odds vs. OBD are likely based on home field advantage. Last season, OBD was 4-0 on the road vs. the B1G, 1-0 at the neutral site champ game vs. PSU. PSU is 12-8 in White Out games. PSU defeated UW in a White Out last season, but would have lost the WO if the WO game they wanted vs' TOSU wasn't benched by Fox. James Franklin is 1-18 vs. top 5 teams. His only win came against Ohio State in 2016. He's 3-17 vs. the top 10. Plus, he's never had to play a WO game with Forum Fanatics in attendance! 🤪 Way too early Week 5 predictions: Penn State v.

Thank you, Mr. Editor, for doing your email to article magic. 😍 The SEC is doing the same thing over again in 2025 and expecting different results. Hmmm? The conference schedules in 2025 are the same, except for a change in the game venues. Georgia plays Bama, Texas, and Ole Miss at home this season instead of part of the brutal conference road schedule the Dawgs played in 2024. The media is gaga over 23andMe Archie Manning, but road games at Florida and Georgia, as well as rivalry games against Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas A&M, will challenge the Longhorns. Florida in The Swamp is a tough out, and QB DJ Lagway, and not a transfer from Yale, will likely be starting for the revenge-minded Gators. The out-of-conference schedule has three cupcakes for Bevo to trample, but as of today, Texas is a 3-point under-steer on the road vs. The Ohio State University. Texas returns zero starters at WR, and its 2024 stud TE is also in the NFL. One starter returns on the O-line. Could top 25 No. 1 preseason composite-ranked Texas miss the 2025-26 playoffs? I, of course, do not know, but I like Georgia to win the SEC, finish in the top four ranked teams, have a 1st round bye, and this season, win the Sugar Bowl and advance to the semifinals. Kirby Smart went 2-0 vs. Texas last season and repeated as the SEC champion with a schedule, as Kirby made note of to Greg Sankey while receiving the championship trophy, that was too Dawg gone difficult for any other team not named Georgia. Based on roster talent, the SEC could place four and possibly five teams in this season's playoffs, but it would not surprise me to see SEC title contenders with three losses again being stiffed by the committee. Have a great and safe 4th of July!
