I think that the Rutgers/Iowa game tonight is interesting.  

For one thing I still don't think we know much really about either team.  Rutgers beat Ohio which is more than WVU can say but Rutgers also played them at home and won by a FG while WVU played them in Athens and lost by a TD.  The Scarlet Knights' other two games were against Miami, OH and Norfolk St so who knows.  

Iowa has two big wins but they were over Albany and UMASS so big deal.  Their loss might not be particularly bad as it was close (FG) and on the road to a team currently ranked #12.  

The problem for Rutgers is that their schedule is brutal.  They play the top three teams in the league (@tOSU, vOre, vPSU) plus they have a West Coast road trip (@UDub) and trips to Illinois and Minnesota.  That is FOUR league games against teams currently in the top-10.  That doesn't leave Rutgers with a lot of room for error to make a bowl.  

Iowa's schedule could be tricky as well.  They have four remaining games against currently ranked teams (#2 PSU, #6 Ore, #19 IU, #25 USC) and road trips to Madison and Lincoln.  I don't *THINK* this is going to happen but you could see this unraveling.

Hopefully there's a Purdue win in all that chaos. 

We made the menu for the weekend, but now the oldest is going to his HS homecoming game and the youngest is going to a different HS's football game with a friend, so it's just us and the middle child tonight. Thinking we'll take him out somewhere instead of cooking at home.

I'd love it as much as anyone but I just don't see it happening.  

For all the wailing and gnashing of teeth of Notre Dame being 0-2 and ranked, if anything I think they are UNDERRATED.  Yeah, they are 0-2 but if you take the rankings at face value they:
That tells me that they are almost as good as those teams.  Change two plays and they are 2-0 and probably #2.

Death of college football and all that--it is remarkable that ND is still relevant right now. In the old days--two years ago?--they would be playing for pride. Now they still have a shot at glory. So many classic mid-season football games would no longer matter that much in the current playoff structure. Too bad.

That and a big part of it is that we just don't know how good the other teams are either so it is all just a guess, the poll right now:

You could go all the way through the poll like this.  Nobody has much to back up their rankings yet.

crazy to think he came out of Detroit in the 2023 class and then Bryce in 2025 class. CJ Carr came along in 2024 class- but he's a good step below both of them as HS players and college recruit/prospects. that's a hell of a 3 year run for QB prospects coming out of the state of Michigan.

Uhh, what??

This reminds me of religion.  Hear me out, it's banal.

You're suggesting being 0-2 makes your games still meaningful if you're an ND (helmet) into the season because you still have a shot at the playoff.  This is akin to believing in a god for promise of reward (heaven) or threat of punishment (hell). 

I'd argue those "classic mid-season football games" are classics in that they're important to those involved regardless of potential future payoff/success (playoff).  As in someone who lives an ethical life just because they should, not because a god tells them to.  The phrase "throw out the records" is prudent here.

I don't care if we're both 0-10, I will watch every second of Florida vs FSU, UGA, Tennessee, etc and want the Gators to beat the hell out of them.

Tulsa is also 1-2 this year with losses to New Mexico State and Navy. Not like they played a bunch of P4 teams to start the season and got drilled. they've played nothing but cupcakes and are 1-2. they suck. looks like they are playing the biggest cupcake yet in OSU3. 

Maybe Oregon's 69-3 blasting of OSU3 wasn't that impressive after all.

It'd be 3-9 if they'd been lucky enough to have Purdue on the schedule. 

It doesn't matter who's the coach, or who's in uniform. You could dress the members of this board up in Badger uniforms and I'd still not bet on Purdue to be able to beat them.

Fickel's D has forced the Terps to kick it 5 times; 3 punts and 2FG, one of which was from 49. 

The O isn't giving them much help. Nor the kicker.

That’s where I am. He has proven he can coach in a big-time way so I was expecting a lot more.

But it’s very surprising to see Wisc. looking this unprepared.  A big clue is special teams.

The Badgers are as lifeless as a team could be. The Lines should be holding up better, yet Maryland is holding leverage. Wisconsin's skill positions are one-dimensional, if that. And it's not like Wisconsin is down (at home) by twenty points to a good team. Maryland is barely decent with lots of dropped passes and drive-killing mistakes. Yeesh - after three seasons the empty roster Paul Chryst left for Fickell is somehow worse!

Take a discount on the buyout and resign with some dignity left. Just get the F out of Madison and take Tressel with.

Didn't want Andersen with a 0.731 winning %
Didn't want Chryst witha 0.720 winning %
Didn't want Leonhard a Wisconscin guy

The brand is fine. The head coach sucks.

Andersen was a bad fit. Chryst failed to adapt with the times (and went a whole year without a recruiting department). JT23 covered a lot of warts from 2017-2019.

Leonhard didn't like to recruit. He's where he belongs - in the NFL.

Even during the the Cooper years at tOSU when he would continually shoot himself and the program in the foot,instate players still signed with the home team.I'm not seeing that as much at UW specially with 0-Lineman. Did the well run dry or are they going with other options?

So what do they do the first two plays against Notre Dame? Draws right up the gut for a combined 1 yard, leading to a 3 and out. 

Punt it away, and instead of running the ball right down Purdue's throat, they run play-action, hit a deep ball, and it's 7-0. 

FFS.

not gonna lie- not impressed with Nebraska at all. Y’all kinda suck. Michigan is blowing this- should be up waaaaay more. Makes me think Michigan is just pretty meh this year. Sloppy team that makes too many mistakes and has a dog shit OC and dog shit WR’s.

if Michigan was a legit team this year this game would be 21-0 right now minimum cause Nebraska kinda sucks imo.

Teenage Bryce Underwood stabilizing the offense on his back to grind out a high-pressure drive is pretty impressive. No, the Wolverines didn't finish with a TD, but they shaved 8 minutes off the clock and added a late FG to go up 10 and likely put this road game out of reach.

I can’t figure out if there’s bad play calling or Underwood isn’t being patient. I’m pretty sure it’s the play calling, but it’s definitely very odd either ways running game and defensive line look good for Michigan. Nebraska in the trenches does not. Raiola is a really fun qb to watch. I feel bad his line isn’t a bit better but that kid is really talented and seems like a really good kid.

Michigan is better at RB this year than last. Mullings was a really good back, but Haynes is just better. Justice Haynes was a 5* and can see why. Pretty baffling Bama barely used him last year- but then again Kalen DaBoer is allergic to the run game. Jordan Marshall showing he's a stud as well- but he showed that last year in the bowl game vs Bama. Former high 4* top 80 in the nation overall recruit- so was no slouch himself coming out just not quite as highly rated as Haynes. 

Michigan's passing game play calling always leaves a lot to be desired on offense. No different this year. And the WR's are total donkey do-do. Priority number one this off-season has to be throw a trillion dollars in the porhole at some seasoned talented WR's. Ryan Williams name your price kid, Larry Ellison got you.

I didn't think the dline was bad, but the safeties...woof.

But great win for Michigan, because they showed enough offensive punch to show they can win in a few ways, unlike last year.

Underwood getting better every week, OL getting better as well. RB's are studs. WR's continue to suck ass and are major concern though. team is a legit #1 WR away from being a real problem for anyone in the nation by years end.

also...turns out OU is pretty damn good. bad loss, but maybe that loss isn't completely terrible.

Dante Moore went 31-41 for 305 yards and a  four touchdowns to as many different receivers :o. Ducks amassed 585 total yds and with 280 coming on the ground.I know it's vs OSU 2-3-4 whatever you want to call them but still.

 Many myself included thought the Hoosiers were a one and done but if last nite is an indicator then how wrong can we be?They certainly seemed to catch lightning in a bottle and just poured it on at home.Mendoza threw for five touchdowns and sending this contest lopsided by the end of the 1st half.Against what was thought to be a stout Illini squad and their first win over a top 10 foe in five years. It was the worst loss of coach Bret Bielema's tenure at Illinois and the worst for the Illini since a 63-0 rout at home against Iowa in 2018 and extended Hoosierss school record home winning streak to 12, under Curt Cignetti.

 If they can keep this up and stay focused they and the Ducks might be the Game of the Week on Oct 11

Oregon is legit. They had a top rated class, spent a ton in the porthole and Dante Moore is finally living up to the 'crootin' stars/hype now that he's out of that shithole program UCLA.

Indiana, still not sure about. I think it's pretty clear that Illinois was insanely overrated as a top 10 team and for no good reason to be honest. They don't have much in the way of NFL talent on that roster and BERT is a continually overrated fat fuck head coach. What has he really done as a coach? When you break it down and do a deep dive...not much. Indiana has a great offensive system and head coach- but how are their lines of scrimmage? We're about to find out in the next couple of weeks when they play Iowa and Oregon back to back weeks.

Michigan does have one of the best front 7's in CFB- but no doubt Nebraska has to be better up front on the o-line.

Jaishawn Barhman move to EDGE has been a revelation, that kid is impossible to block for most CFB tackles one on one. He's a future NFL EDGE. Derrick Moore has been banged up all season and finally getting back to health and you saw how good he is when he's right. He's also a future NFL EDGE. And he terrorized NEB tackles all day long. They have good depth behind those guys as well. Really good depth at DT as well. Rayshaun Benny is a DUDE at DT and he showed that once again.

Agreed on both counts.

O-line coach / star QB uncle Dominic has been there 4 or 5 years.  Shouldn't have been retained from Frost's staff.
Threw portal $$$ at the guard from ND and the Left Tackle from Bama and still SUCK!  Absolutely SUCK!!!

Might as well spent that money on a couple D-tackles that weigh 330+ and could stuff the run.
Raiola played a helluva game IMO
Never got frustrated, stayed calm.  Kept coming.  Took a beating.
Should have taken more shots downfield - I blame the O-coordinator - I understand deep routes can take more time to develop but not all of them do.

not equally matched teams - Michigan should have put the game away by halftime or midway thru the 3rd.

I think Cignetti likes being where he is. The expectations at Florida are not realistic (win the MNC every year).

He's got Mark Cuban money at IU. They'll have a statue of himself made if he keeps IU in the picture

NIL is weak at Florida compared to Miami and FSU. IU has more money than Florida.

Keeping Florida in the picture gets you fired from Florida.

I'd be a hard pass on that gig - especially as a 64 y/o man.

I’m enjoying football season. Golfed Friday and this morning. Was in attendance for that beatdown of the Illini last night.

Exactly. You don't have to do much to be beloved at IU (or Purdue, or a bunch of other schools). You really just have to make football fun. 8-4 & 9-3 seasons with 6-6 being a "down year" is completely acceptable. 

I am sure there's not an IU fan on the planet--folks here like @LetsGoPeay (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=7) included--that think IU ever's going to win the whole thing. 

But IU 2024 was a HELL of a lot more fun than Purdue 2024.

Suffered through 60 minutes on the bike this morning when I really didn't want to do it. But now that it's over, I'm glad I did. 

Now firing up the smoker for 3 slabs of baby backs. 

We've got Costco mac & cheese, cole slaw, and I made a purple cabbage slaw I really love on Friday and it's been "maturing" since then...

That would suggest that the Maryland hangover is what would make Wisconsin uncompetitive against Michigan.

Don't think so.

the reasonable Husker fans in Nebraska didn't expect a win vs Michigan and are OK - there aren't many of them
another 3 point loss and another loss to a ranked team make me grumpy but, the season could still turn out OK.
not all is lost, yet

some holding calls on the opposing OL's would be nice. conspiracy theorist in me wants to think it's the NCAA/Conferences giving Michigan the middle finger for sign-gate....

Nebraska didn't get all the calls that afternoon

I'm not going to complain about the officiating but there were a few calls I though could have gone Red's way since they were playin at home

I REALLY don't think the zebras were out to get Michigan

Nebraska could've been called for like 10 holds. far as I remember they didn't called for holding once.

maybe the refs just felt bad for their OL that Michigan was murdering them on live tv?

7 total penalties

Michigan 4-39 yards  (15 for taunting)  coulda been 3-24
Huskers 3-9 yards

pretty clean game or crew swallowed their whistles

Well Michigan has deep pockets and they were holding onto the lead and didn't feel the need to call in any favors. And for the "skers well they were at home

didn't know where to put this...so putting it here. 

OU star QB John Mateer having surgery on his throwing hand- probably out at least a month. Huge blow to OU's prospects of making a run here. Mateer is a bonafide stud and basically their entire offense right now.
