  If UNC isn't anything special, then Miami is less than that.

Yeah, we can't say that with any certainty.  


When you're guaranteed a sample size of 12 (games, each), making big, sweeping statements after 2 games isn't a recipe for accuracy.  Ya know?

Sure, big sweeping statements right now lack one particular thing--sufficient evidence.

But the major CFB websites will be out with their CFB power rankings tomorrow or Monday, and right here there will be the Big Ten power rankings.

Oh, I wanted to give a huge shout out to Syracuse for helping my case against the preseason top 25, and how utterly F'ing ridiculous it is to have one.

Not only did they predict the Terps would win today at home, they did it while not giving any votes or consideration to the Terrapins after their win last week against Howard.

Amazing how a top 25 team is expected to lose against the team not receiving any votes at all.

I guess it's there just for morons to believe team A "should beat" team B.

Maryland has been looking great so far early on this season.  Very impressive.

And despite the Gophers repeatedly trying to give away the game to Fresno State....Chris Autman-Bell managed to make a highlight catch on fourth down to send the game to OT.

Second OT.....the Gophers can only muster a FG.  And like last years game in Minneapolis where Antoine Winfield Jr. seals the win against the Bulldogs with a pick in the end zone as regulation is running out.....he steps in front of what looked to be a wide open receiver in the end zone with another pick to seal the win.....38-35.

That was an absolutely wild game.

It’s why if I was a pollster I’d be voting Wisconsin #1. Nobody has utterly dominated their first two opponents the way the Badgers have.

I was absolutely shocked out of what I saw out of Joe Burrows. Never in a million years thought he had this in him. He looks like a legitimate NFL draft pick at QB. Never thought I’d say that. That’s a major testament to his commitment to developing his skills as a QB and at his new offensive coaches. 

He looks like the best QB LSU has maybe ever had. Jamarcus Russell had the size and the incredible arm- but even he never looked that good in terms of decision making and accuracy.

Burrows was throwing darts and was throwing them incredibly accurately and he was throwing his guys open and throwing into tight windows and throwing the ball where it should be before his receivers were ever out of their breaks. It was SO impressive. Major props to Burrows. LSU gets QB play like that all season they just might win the SEC.

In 2016 he was throwing darts but Urbz was too busy kissing his JT poster he went 22-28 in reserve.Before I hear about garbage time much of what JT compiled was just that.There were some very spirited exchanges on the Buckeye Boards.JB was leading recievers in stride - it was obvious.With JT receivers had to stop,lean forward or reach back.Beginning of 2017 season he broke his thumb then Haskins moved up and filled in.

Joe's father Jim, former player and coach at UNL.  Known as Jimmy back then

probably doesn't like the Horns

Joe exceeded my expectations, especially running a new offense

many Huskers thought Frost should go after Joe as a transfer, I wasn't so sure.  Looking good now.

I thought Sam would be the QB to get it done in this game, wrong

Sam did his part. He was phenomenal. He is an EXCELLENT QB and player. Some poor coaching decisions, receiver drops, sloppy OL play, and piss poor defensive tackling did the Horns in. Sam did everything and then some to win that game. He was legit.

How would we rate the QB's this season who are transfers?


I'd go with Fields at the top, so far.
