OBD predicted to cover -34.5! WOW! Looks like the game will be played in the rain? Ohio State blasted Wisconsin in Madison last week, but QB Sayin was on fire, 80% + completions, and was helped out by some terrific catches by the nation's best group of receivers. Heading into its 2nd Off Week of the season, Brock Thomas needs more snaps, right?😁 https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/b1g-time-overlook-p-j-fleck-and-minnesota-at-your-own-peril-its-even-worse-than-it-looks-at-wisconsin/

Notre Dame has Donut Holes left to play and will take one of the 7 at-large spots. Count on Navy being a Top 25 team before being sunk by the Irish. Notre Dame defeats No. 20 USC in a driving rainstorm on its home field and moves up into the top 12. Michigan, a team SC shut down in LA two weeks ago, defeats UW and moves up to No. 25 in the rankings. Two-loss USC falls out of the AP Poll, while G6 USF, with its best win over a Florida team that just fired its coach, is ranked 18th. 🤪 B1G PO eliminating games this weekend will impact OBD's season-ending SOS and Strength of Record. 5-2 Illinois at 5-2 Washington - 12:30 Big Ten Network 5-2 Minnesota at 5-2 Iowa - 12:30 CBS 5-2 Northwestern (!) at 5-2 Nebraska - 9 AM FS1 5-2 Michigan at 3-4 Michigan State - 4:30 Big Ten Network 5-2 USC - Off 😁WAX WISCONSIN! Make Fickell One of the (un) Grateful (Coaching) Dead.

$30 million a year? When $20 million a year is needed for revenue sharing payments. Many 10:30 Eastern time kickoffs + the Pac-12 After Dark punchline, no thanks. A clueless commissioner versus a guy with executive broadcast experience and the willingness to take unpopular stands in favor of his conference. The Pac-12 Notwork vs the Big Ten Network - JVs vs The Varsity. Three trips East with one to the Central time zone. No B1G deal when it comes to The Money Maker - Football. Football. 2 losses in the Pac-12 and maybe you're in the PO compared to 2 B1G losses and you're in. Yesterday's Gone - Don't you look back - Thank you, Fleetwood Mac. 😎

Thanks, DM, another winner. The photos are terrific. 247 Sports Cumulative Roster Rankings - Oklahoma State 49, Rutgers 53, Oregon State 60. Yet, as you so noted, up to Saturday, Greg Schiano was getting more out of the Rutger's roster, by far, than Mike Gundy (adios), and Trent Bray (sayonara.) The other coaches in the conference have to be really happy about inviting OBD to the party. 😁 I shouldn't go there, but coming into the season, Cig's roster was a not so smoking 72. 😧 When you have Oregon's talent and it's working together - 😍😍😍 Thanks again. Blast Bucky!

My response to this post was intercepted. 😁

Great take, but hopefully, it's a 16 or 17-game season? Yesterday, Whit was It!

Thank you, Tee. But don't forget the Ohio State defense, which is playing at a historic level, after having to replace eight starters from the crew that won the Natty. Matt Patricia, with no college coaching experience for the last twenty seasons, was a terrible hire, to replace the all-knowing Knowles, right?🤪 Two old-time SEC games broke out yesterday - MO. 23 - Auburn 17 in 3 OTs, and Texas 16 - Kentucky 13 in OT. Thank you, Texas, for showing up at the State Fair before returning to mediocrity, right, Archie? After surviving a track meet against Tennessee, Georgia won a defense-optional marathon over Mississippi. A&M defeated Arkansas 45-42 in another shootout. Bama was solid again on both sides of the ball. LSU? Looks like Kelly blew $1 million of his own money. Florida refuses to make it easy to fire Billy Napier. I think we will see a rematch of Alabama against a gutsy, gritty Georgia team in the SEC Champ game. As you so noted, ASU won, but Dilly dallied until 32 seconds were left to score the winning points. And BYU defeated Utah 24-21 to stay unbeaten. How did Nebraska beat a Cincinnati team that is undefeated since and tied at the top in the B12? ACC - Aren't you glad you adopted SMU, Cal, and Stanford? SMU made Dabo and Clemson's season more cataclysmic. SMU's HC Rhett Lashley will be coaching where it Just Means More in 2026. proved Billy Bob and UNC can lose on both coasts. The once-upon-a-time Stanford Indians were unkind to the Seminoles. 1st impressions in CFB are often wrong - ask Mike Norvell and Kalen DeBoer 😁 Two cathartic games this week: OBD mugging a guy on horseback in Jersey (prepare yourself, Traveler!) and Mario doing Mario things to lead the nation's No. 2 team to its first loss versus not-ranked Louisville. (SC - Stop enabling Notre Dame!) Stanford plays at Miami next Saturday. This will be Miami's sixth game of the season and the 5th at its home away from home. The other game was played in Tallahassee, Florida. Rob, please take note of this. USC, please stop enabling Notre Dame's recruiting in California and its Independent status. In the B1G, you have enough trips to the Eastern time zone. OBD would like to thank you and UW for doing all you could yesterday to be unranked when playing the Ducks. UCLA? Make Skipper the permanent Captain. Hats off to Nico for coming back into the game after being dinged and leading the Bruins to the winning score. Penn State gave a good effort for the interim coach before losing 25-24 in Iowa City. And did anyone think that heading into Week 9 of the 2025 season, OBD's best B1G win would be the victory over 5-2 Northwestern? This week's I'd like to be his agent. Minnesota QB, RS Freshman Drake Lindsey, and not Nebraska's Dylan Riola, looked like the 5* recruit Friday night. Eight sacks of Dylan Raiola also helped the Gophers' cause in winning their 7th straight game versus Nebraska. Drake led his Fayetteville high school to an Arkansas state title. A 3* recruit, he received no offer from Arkansas, where his grandfather, father, and an uncle played ball, or from any other team in the SEC, and ended up playing for Coach Fleck in Minneapolis. At 6'5" and 230 pounds, he has an NFL player's body type. He is also a threat to run the ball. Someone please start the bidding at two million? Blast Bucky. Add a 4th Coach to The Pink Slip List?

Yahoo! OBD is a Winner! https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/college-football-winners-and-losers-ranking-the-6-remaining-unbeaten-teams-after-a-wild-week-8-034924992.html

The 2025 coaching carousel may not have enough horses to sit all the riders? The Penn State AD wants his next coach to Natty Chops. Mr. AD, based on prior results, here is your list of candidates: Saint Nick Saban, Mack Brown (past his Use By date), Dabo Swinney (he may be past his Use By date), Kirby Smart, Ryan Day, Ed Ogeron (The Beavers have Dibs), and Jim Show-Cause Harbaugh. The good news, Mr. AD, is that Jim Franklin can't wait to start coaching again. Jim's new coaching salary will save $10 million or so in termination fees. Maybe enough to hire a 62-year-old who has won at the D III, D II, and FCS levels, but nada in the B1G Leagues? Jimmy might have his choice of the following gigs: Arkansas, Florida (but Billy won today!), Auburn (will it mean MO if Hugh doesn't freeze and wins today?), LSU (Brian's $1 million contribution didn't help buy enough dudes), Virginia Tech, perhaps South Carolina if Baby Beamer takes the VA Tech job voluntarily before he's fired, Florida State (Mike, it's better to start slow and finish strong), UCLA (although I think Skipper should continue to Captain the Bruins), Wisconsin, and possibly, Michigan State, with the last three giving you a shot at payback. College Football needs its own game of Monopoly.

Never a ... OK, I had more than a few doubts coming into this game. And the start was - Oh No! 🤬 But after the 1st half of the first quarter, I simply relaxed and enjoyed.😍 OBD got right, left, north, south, east, west, 360 degrees RIGHT and then some! There is a B1G gap between the upper tier of this conference and the bottom third. That was a fun, fun, fun watch. Daddy, don't take the Offense away! As you so noted, Charles, it was so good to see the OL play Monster Mash. BLAST BUCKY!

Dazed and Confused 🤪

FRIDAY NIGHT in a NUTSHELL - Louisville 24 - No. 2 Mari-Oh-Oh 21 - Carson, that's $1 million per pick, right? 😁 Minnesota 24 - No. 25 Nebraska 6 - After getting Flecked in Minny, Matt no longer Ruhles in the race to replace Jimmy. 🙃 Cal 21 - UNC 18 - Billy proves that the 33rd NFL team can lose coast-to-coast. 🤬

We've seen this movie before, right? FanSidedMario Cristobal faces wrath of Miami fans for all-too fam...Not many things in life are certain, except death, taxes and Mario Cristobal being terrible at game management.

You're at home with a good FG kicker in chip shot range and a QB who has already thrown 3 picks. Run the ball. Tie the game up and go to OT. Amen on a bogus + roughing the passer call. However, Beck did a fine job of roughing himself up tonight. The QB who tied for the lead in INTs in the SEC last season showed up tonight. Jeff Brohm knows the Big Ten from his time at Purdue. Jeff has recruited in the Midwest and recruited well, with nowhere close to Penn State's resources. He's also an excellent portal picker. PSU hiring Brohm would not be a Headline Hire. But, with fewer resources than the opposition, like Cig, Jeff Brohm wins football games. Since his return to the ACC, Brohm has more conference wins than any other ACC coach, including Dabo and Mari-Oh-Oh. If Duke defeats Georgia Tech later today, the ACC could be 1 conference champ and PO done.
