CFB is weird.  That's one reason we like it.  Of course, I suppose if you constructed some game with very talented 20 year olds, you might expect a lot of variation week to week in performance.  Upsets are interesting, often a result of a turnover imbalance.

Bingo.

BYU has beaten Tennessee, USC, Boise and lost to USF and the Toledo team.

And people try to make sense of it with “rankings”.

Anyone else finding that the cfb scores page at cbssports is basically unusable this year?

I generally prefer it to espn, but this year it takes forever to load, plays unsolicited video in the corner, scrolling is clunky, link response time is awful, etc.

Patterson silenced a lot of doubters.  Bell needs to maybe shift to RB.  He's great with the ball in his hands, but he can't catch crap
You think so? He still only completed 58% of his passes and threw 0 touchdowns. His INT in the 1st half was horrible. he definitely played better in the 2nd half but he was not good in the 1st.

michigan had some poor offensive play calling, were very undisciplined and also got the short end of two poorly missed calls on PSU’s 1st td that was offensive pass interference and the 3rd down where  Michigan should have been award a 1st down from PI and PSU gets the ball back and the 1st play they run for 50 yards. They were already playing poorly and two poor calls were the nail they didn’t need because there were plenty of self inflicted issues as well.

No not at all,go to CBS Sports,hit NCAA home,right hand corner is their link for scores.Even can find conferences seperately.ESPN is hot garbage they shuffled the deck on their web site a few years back and is unreadable.Even if it was I wouldn't give them any clicks

Yeah, I never used espn and always used cbssports. But it is just a mess this year. 

It might be a "chrome" thing, as there are many web pages that don't properly load these days when I use that browser, including the Big Ten's official website. Might have to find an alternate there.

His offensive line also gave him nothing.  I was pretty impressed overall.

On the Tennessee play:
That's the left guard pulling outside (73).  Trey Smith, the 5* guy. 
That's the fact, now for some conjecture.



If I had to bet a dollar on what actually happened, I'd go with this:  the play call was a run to the left, BUT Guantanamo saw something that he had been told to sneak it when the alignment was a certain way.  So it wasn't an audible, it was a "see this, do that" thing for the QB himself.  The G may or may not been supposed to see the same thing, but either way, his crime was going with the called play.  The QB didn't run the called play, but did do something he had been previously told to do.

Pruitt is saying it was a sneak call so that Guantanamo doesn't transfer and he's stuck with 2 FR QBs the rest of the way.  I'm not saying he's in love with Gitmo, but at least he's a veteran.  He's giving the kid a lifeline in order to keep him around, by publicly saying it was a called sneak.

So I don't think the QB went rogue (odd phrasing and assumption by the announcers).  Obviously, the QB and OL weren't on the same page (G pulling for a kick-out block, imo).  It was just Tennessee being Tennessee. 



And all of this time talking about it...they still weren't winning that game, lol.

I agree.  I have preferred it to ESPN also, but it is very clunky and irritating this year.
