Tennessee has just fallen off the rails since they got rid of Fulmer. I don't know what it's going to take to right that ship at this point.
they dont pay enough for top coaches
Edit: wtf - the stuff from the CFP website was different than what they just released
Either way, Clemson is NOT the #2 team in the country

Lots of big games that could change everything.
I think these are the AP rankings ?
That’s a possibility. I think they were closer to right than the CFP is though.
I agree with the teams listed in the top 4, but I would have placed Miami second. They're in the running at least.
On current form Miami is playing as well as anyone, but the rankings don't really matter too much right now since Miami and Clemson will play in 20 days to settle things. Also Bama will play Auburn and possibly UGA within the next few weeks, so things will likely shift around each week.
Quiet weekend for the most part, barring any upsets...
Only high profile game is Michigan at Wisconsin. Wisconsin need to win convincingly to keep their CFB hopes alive.
Also, interesting take from Max Kellermen.

it will be hilarious when virginia beats miami
Yeah for sure.
have you ever been in love
Only won by 16 and didn't cover the 21 point spread....probably means we could drop a spot in the next polls.
What do you think of Harbaugh's tenure so far?
The first year was better than expected. The second was ultimately a disappointment but we lost 3 games by 5 points, hard to really complain when you accept variance. This year is actually pretty good, considering we've played most of the season with our starting quarterback and #1 receiver AND had 1 returning start on defense. 8-4 and a bowl game against LSU or Oklahoma State or someone is fine in a rebuilding year.
Is Mayfield gonna be another Manziel knucklehead at the next level?
OU's head coach is not stating him against to WVU as punishment him for his actions against KU. No, not benching him - just not starting him. That will teach him!
I personally don't have an issue with his antics. He's still young and immature and the heat of the moment gets to him, obviously.

He's Manziel with more arm talent and less substance abuse.
He won't flameout like that though...and might go higher in the draft as well. Getting a lot of comparisons to Drew Brees.
I loathed Mayfield between the flag planting in Columbus and the shock loss against Iowa State
I have a personal preference for the flairy QBs. Rooted for Manziel to do well in the NFL, hopefully Mayfield goes one step better.

Fat Chip to Florida or UCLA?
Was watching the CFB show on ESPN. The committee chairman emphasises that there is very little separation between 1 and 5.
I'd like to see how his offense would do in the SEC, but he may feel more comfortable in the PAC-12.
I agree. Bama v Auburn will count for a lot this weekend
There was some chatter about which is better and most feel UCLA due to the less pressure whereas Florida will have unrealistic expectations. There's also the landscape - nothing really dominant in PAC-12 whereas the SEC is stacked with the dominant program and a couple others that are near top tier level. I'd probably take the UCLA job as well.
Weird that no one has been able to make Florida a power in the 2000's other than Meyer. They should be a constant counterweight to Bama.
I'd love to see another offensive guru like Chip take a shot at the SEC. It's getting stagnant down there since Saban came along.

The Bama dynasty is over now that Miami is on the rise and they and other teams won't have easy accces to South Florida talent anymore. Expect Clemson, Miami, Auburn, and UGA to rise.
Watch this space over the next couple of years.
alabama gets 1-2 players per year from south florida, they will be just fine.
Only when Miami is perennially bad and loses recruits. Bama have one this year (who may yet flip to the U), but after that it will be slim pickens.
The era of losing the likes of Patrick Peterson, Amari Cooper, Dalvin Cook, Teddy Bridgewater, Lamar Jackson etc etc is over.
Alabama doesnt need south florida players.
And yet it continues to pursue them. That will end shortly. UF and FSU will now have to go through skinny years of their own.
You can spam it up with smileys all you want, but the reality is everything goes in cycles and Bama's run is nearing an end. They have the 34th best recruiting class in college football this year. Guess what that will mean in the coming few years.
because they only have 11 players and the recruiting season is ongoing. they are 4th in average star rating and i guarantee they will be top 10 after signing day

For their sake I hope so since we are only a 29 days off from the early signing window. They must either feel very stacked from previous #1 classes or simply aren't taking many players this year.
how closely do you follow college football? national signing day is in february, nothing is relevant till january really. especially the early signing window, which is just back this year after decades of not being a thing
Elite programs often don't fill their quota until late on. To say 34th would be misleading is an understatement.
Yeah but that doesn't mean that waiting until very late means they will get the best players. Many players are already committed now and others are committing elsewhere every day. I would be surprised if Bama wind up with an elite class this year since a majority of the good players are already off the board.
