Title: Week 6 AP Top-25 at-a-glance
Post by: medinabuckeye1 on September 29, 2025, 11:46:07 AM


Eight of the top-25 are off this week. 

#3 Miami at #18 FSU and #16 Vandy at #10 Bama are the only ranked-vs-ranked games.

  • Texas -6.5 at Florida Saturday at noon on ESPN

Not a huge deal but just FYI the Horns play @Florida at 2:30 Central, not 11.

Fixed it, thanks for pointing that out.  I think I have the rest of the times/channels right.

Penn State -24.5 vs UCLA and Texas -6.5 vs Florida seems like free money.

I thought Hoosiers by 6.5 last week was free money - but I was smart enough to stay clear of my bookie

Penn State is only favored by 24.5 because that game isn't "vs UCLA" it is "AT UCLA" .

I warned everyone about playing at Kinnick....

Oh and while Indiana is a good team, it's not like Iowa sucked. UCLA? They absolutely suck. They are without a doubt one of the worst teams in the entire FBS. Penn State will be looking to get right- and they will probably take out all of their anger and frustration on a hopelessly overmatched UCLA team. Could see them winning 59-3 and everyone going...see Penn State is back! Drew Allar is good! 

As for the Texas - Florida game- that one is a bit more tricky as Florida actually really has a good defense so they could keep it way closer than anyone expects- but that Florida offense is JV HS level and the head coach is basically a dead man walking.

Florida has some talent, and as noted some defense, I can see that one being an upset with a few TOs.

At UCLA by 4 scores? That trip and the hangover from this week can take a lot out of kids. I'm no better, but that's not a bet I would recommend.

UCLA is terrible. they are 0-4 and lost at home by 33 to Utah and also lost at home by 25 to New Mexico.

Penn State is going to jailsex them imo. UCLA might score 3 to 7 points if they are lucky and Penn State will run for 300 on them...

Agreed.  Very few ranked teams have an opportunity to convince any doubters this week.  For the vast majority, even if they win REALLY big, the assumption that most people/fans/voters will make is not that they are really good but that their opponent is REALLY bad.

The line is only 6.5 so it's not like anyone is expecting a blowout.  A 1 TD game would be pretty damn close, and it seems to be what is expected.

When a line looks 'way too high/low' I assume they know something I don't...and steer clear.

There's no way Texas is that bad.

maybe it says a lot about what Vegas thinks of Arch and that Texas offense? 

it's going to be a really low scoring game, I think. Texas has an elite defense and Florida has a really good defense as well with athletes all over that side of the ball. For Texas on offense it's fair to say that Arch has been very underwhelming and the Texas offense has been disappointing relative to Arch's pre-season hype. And as far as Florida goes on offense- well that is like a JV high school offense that is a comedy of errors just waiting to happen.

For sure, the Texas offense has been incredibly disappointing so far this season.  The oddsmakers, and the bettors, don't trust it.  I don't either.

He doesn't suck, he just isn't living up to expectations.  Plus, I'd argue that his best attribute is scrambling.  

THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING.  IT'S NOT TRUE OF ELITE QBS.

Are they very effective on called QB runs?  Great.  
Are they adept at making the right decision and being able to get good yardage on RPOs?  Fantastic.
Is scrambling well a useful asset?  Sure.

But if it's the thing you do best....you're not an elite QB.  Elite athlete?  Fair.  But not an elite QB, sorry.

Yeah, I think I'd agree with this premise. 

I think one might make the argument that Johnny Manziel's best attribute was scrambling as well. And he's not an elite QB. He was fool's gold. 

I remember one of the things that made Drew Brees so dangerous in college was scrambling. He wasn't in ANY sense a "running QB", but making good decisions about when to pull the ball down and run, and being athletic enough to pull it off, was an added element to his game. 

But it was not, EVER, something that anyone would have called his best attribute. He was an elite thrower of the football.

nah, he's ass. 

And he's not even that great at scrambling. He's big and clumsy and slow. He's not quick twitch or juiced up or fast. He looks like a baby deer trying to learn how to walk or a retard trying to fuck when he runs. 

He is just bad all the way around. He's got a strong arm and can make some deep shots when he has a clean pocket- but everything else about him and his game is just....barf.

Pete Flintbum is a joke.

for years when Jeem was at Michigan he trashed Jeem 24/7 and sucked Franklin off like no other talking about how great a coach Franklin was.

this retard was the one saying Arch was going to be the Heisman winner, #1 overall pick, and the best college QB the SEC has seen since Tim Tebow....and....now he's acting like it was everyone else slurping off Arch and not him as the #1 fellator sucking Arch off on the Arch bandwagon.
