Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I heard and read about 74 times about how Dabo didn't use the portal.  He could be on a hottish kind of seat now.    Supposedly, Clemson and FSU wanted to bail out of the ACC and into the SEC, maybe they feel differently now?

Vandy beat VaTech in OT after blowing a 17-0 lead, when that happens Vandy usually folds tent.  Miami did flatten Florida of course, so now folks view them as the ACC favorite I reckon.  Florida may well end up 4-8.

I saw Iowa scored some points, maybe they are a B1G favorite now?  Maybe not.

Clemson was one of only 4 programs not to take a porthole player. Don't think Dabo's refusal to porthole is the only issue. 

They haven't been able to get a QB or develop offense at all outside of Deshaun Watson or Trevor Lawerence. Dabo has had three 5* #1 or #2 QB 'croots after those guys and all of em have stunk. So either Dabo and the 'crootin' sites are whiffing on those evals or Dabo just can't develop QB's. Probably a bit of both.

I think it's closer than that.  Michigan looked like a week1 team with a new head coach and a ton of new players. Week2 is going to be different.

I have this working theory that no team is as bad, or as good, as they look in week1.  I said it's just a theory.

It's gonna be a fun game in the Big House. 

Been saying that for years.   Week 1 overreaction.

Idk just feel like Michigan OL ain't going to be quite where it needs to be week 2 to have a shot at beating Texas. If it was week 6-8-10, sure maybe. But right now- it's still trying to gel and become a unit. Michigan doesn't have a legit QB1. Texas has two. They have a really good one with lot of experience and the guy backing that really good one up might be even better. 

Michigan will have the defense and special teams to keep it close, but I think their defense buckles a bit and tires out late from having to be on the field so much because it's offense can't sustain drives and give their defense a breather- and that Texas pulls away and wins by 7-10 points, maybe even 14. 

I really think the QB play/offense is that bad. 

First game, caveats apply of course, but on a national scale, I thought, Georgia, Texas, Penn State, and Miami all looked pretty damn good. 

We should see how LSU looks versus USC.   

Add Ohio State in there my friend. I was wondering if the hype was accurate about Smith and it certainly was. Only concern looked to be the o-line at times, but o-line takes some time to gel and the rest of the talent is pretty impressive.

A question always is whether the winner was impressive or the loser is really really bad ....

Hey, let's give Nebraska some credit too.  They looked like a legitimate team for the first time in a long time.  Raiola looked poised and comfortable, and he performed very well.  I think they're in the mix in the top third of the B1G.

hah, I guess there are 18 teams so, #6?  maybe?
Raiola played well.  Nothing spectacular

Next Saturday night will tell much more

I would like to thank the University of Alabama for Isaiah Bond, he's a monster.  Texas WR corps is going to be pretty filthy this year.

I'd like to thank UT for
