2008 National Champ

The picture got clearer. UCLA is eliminated. Arizona, Oregon State, USC and Utah all have 2 losses. Washington is in unless they lose 2 of the last 3.

Games that matter this week:

Utah has to beat UW
USC has to beat Oregon
Arizona and Oregon State on upset alert against Stanford and Colorado

Oregon, Oregon State and UW all control their own…[Read more]

there are multiple path(s). Oregon is the team I don’t want to see again.

Utah beats UW/Ariz/Col
SC beats Oregon
UW beats Oregon State
Oregon State beats Oregon
UCLA beats USC

those results would have Utah playing the winner of tonight’s UW/SC game. Hate to say it but I’m an SC fan for the first time in my life, but for 4 hours only. Even if…[Read more]

Because he’s been injured since fall camp and has only finished one game so far this season. if there’s one guy you need to be smart with his usage, it’s Jackson. If you needed him to get another 15 carries this half to win, you needed a better plan

Normally yes. But with a 3 TD lead and having him be hurt all year? Glover was averaging 9 yards per in the first half and is more than capable of finishing this game.

The important game is next week.

college football was made for 12:30 kickoffs. just like the NFL is. If you want night games, watch more high school

Because you can’t play less that 4 games if you play one of the first 8?

And then misses a 27 yard field goal to tie

Bishop’s biggest issue is that his role changed this year. He’s never been a coverage safety but since he and Vaki are best suited for the same position, they’ve been switching off in coverage and box. Bishop was huge around and behind the LOS last year but hasn’t been as effective this time around.

Part of the issue is out of his control. In…[Read more]

It’s pretty simple. Don’t overreact to either a loss or a win. Utah wasn’t 4 TD’s better than Oregon in 2021 and they aren’t 4 TD’s worse in 2023. Those just happened to be the results in a single game.

You either believe Utah is the better team and will find a way to win tomorrow or you don’t. Can’t help you past that.

And Texas is week 2

Check out USC’s schedule for next year. LSU and Notre in non-con. Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin, Washington and a potentially good UCLA. No wonder Reilly’s sending out NFL feelers.

I think 2024 is going to be one of those years where everyone gets two bye weeks. There are 14 Saturdays from Labor Day weekend through Thanksgiving weekend.

Michigan dominated 3 G5’s to start this year and no one will hold it against them. Beating bad teams is always going to be preferable to losing to good ones. The first time I see the committee give anything more than lip service to SOS, or even conference championships, I’ll start believing that it is a necessary component.

The only thing that…[Read more]
