Morning All, evidently Sam and Badge are on assignment so coffee is on and let's hear it
Was reading the Buckeye Roundtable and i agree with this take
Do they need to run the ball well in order to beat Penn State? Yes. I liked the usage of Devin Brown in the red zone and hope it continues because it was a new wrinkle that the Buckeyes haven't used before. I also hope Ryan Day and Brian Hartline continue to use Dallan Hayden because he has continued to impress time and time again. I also think Henderson and Hayden are a perfect one-two punch at running back because each of them brings different styles of attacking the defense.
should be a good game hopefully a whiteknuckler see how things are going to shake out in the BIG East
Besides the tilt in the 'Shoe we have:
No. 11 Alabama vs. No. 17 Tennessee – 3:30 p.m. ET
It’s going to be nearly impossible for these two teams to put on an encore performance after last year’s thriller in Knoxville, but when Tennessee and Alabama get together, it’s always must-watch television.
No. 4 Florida State vs. No. 16 Duke – 7:30 p.m. ET
The Seminoles continue to win with a schedule that looks manageable the rest of the way.
If the Seminoles are able to get by the Blue Devils.The status of Duke QB Riley Leonardis up in the air as head coach Mike Elko said his star QB is "day-to-day" after suffering an ankle injury against Notre Dame in Week 5.
No. 18 USC vs. No. 14 Utah – 8 p.m. ET
It’s do-or-die time for the Trojans who have no margin for error after getting smoked by Notre Dame in Week 7.Reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams had his worst game of the season in primetime, throwing three interceptions as USC lost by 28 points.Despite the loss, USC has a ton to play for as they are still undefeated in conference play with a gauntlet of a schedule ahead of them.

Another addendum from the roundtable
As someone who has watched Drew Allar play football for years, the fact that Penn State hasn't used his arm talent (Allar has a cannon) is crazy to me, to be honest. Whether it's the play-calling or the lack of playmakers at receiver, Penn State's lack of deep throws certainly isn't the quarterback's fault. The Buckeyes must contain Allar Saturday afternoon, just like they have with every other opposing quarterback so far this season. Ohio State will need to dial up some pressure on Allar in order to force him into making mistakes because he's always been known to take care of the ball.
That could be problematic for Buckeye Fans.Starting out as a classic fall football day wet,gray,breezy at times at here on the North Coast

Chicken Francese is on the docket, with mashed potatoes and asparagus.

For lunch I'll probably pull out a Lou's pizza since 8 of them just showed up yesterday. That or depression dogs with fries.
(https://i.imgur.com/OZtHXmN.png)
Before all that I need to
A) clean the grill, which is a suckass job and makes me wish I bought a tiny grill.
B) Fix a sliding glass door.
C) Rearrange the freezers so I know what's in them.
Hopefully all done by Noon.

Good morning Max.
I admittedly slept in today. Been a little off this week. I didn't check, but it could be Covid for the 37th time. Who knows.
Second TV:
Noon: Rutgers-IU
3:30: Bama-TN/NU-UNL/MN-Iowa flipping
8:00: Utah-USC/Dook-FSU flipping

Home made old family meat sauce today. Our favorite dish of all.
Need to fatten up my girl- she was slender before she went to Israel and came back 13 LBs lighter ( 10%)😬
Myself dropped 20 just from stress and no appetite. (Admittedly needed to- but not that fast)
Good day to eat well- watch some great football. Just need to run to bakery for some fresh Italian bread.
-
I sent the kids to the grandparents yesterday so I was definitely sleeping in. We are going out to eat with my friend's tonight at some random place I'd never even heard of.
-
Badge I love your post, especially because chicken francese is my favorite. I put myself through college working a family owned Italian restaurant and the head chef taught me things I still use today. That’s my favorite one.
Grill cleaning was also on my schedule this weekend. It absolutely blows!!
-
My final volleyball tournament as coach for my kids today. 10-12 yr olds. Will 'retire' as my youngest will move on to middle school teams next yr. If we win two today, will continue tomorrow. We have the material to win this but nothing is more volatile than. Youth sports. Will miss most of big noon window.
Big fall/Halloween party at friend's small farm later.
I found a guy that comes over to clean your grill. I have him do it. He's so busy. He doesn't take any new customers.

Burke and Henderson out for OSU. Egbuka questionable. Williams and Trayanum available.

Bastage 847 just a rubbing it in like Bwarb - I told ja No Pictures. Well I've had 2 apples a banana, bowl of oats, Have some pork stir fry and stuffed bell peppers for later and plenty of Great Lakes Oktoberfests left - to quote Ron White "going to be a good day tater"
-
Burke and Henderson out for OSU. Egbuka questionable. Williams and Trayanum available.
:o well no that's not good
-
Burke and Henderson out for OSU. Egbuka questionable. Williams and Trayanum available.
yeah that is advantage PSU. Both those guys being out changes the math for OSU. Burke is OSU's best CB and Henderson might not be a tough between the tackles runner but his speed is a problem and one false step or missed tackle by a defense and he can pop one for 50-60 yards.
If Egbuka is a game time decision and can't go either then I might have to flip my pick to Penn State.
-

No Burke is a killer.
-
No Burke is a killer.
I think that definitely hurts OSU on defense a lot, but luckily Penn State has a bunch of mid WRs.
Henderson might hurt more bc he's a big play waiting to happen and take him out of the equation and OSU's offense might have fewer big plays generated- especially on the he ground and he'll hurt even more if Egbuka can't go as well.

Yes- don’t blame you. I picked the Nits in our Pick-Em thread, but that was literally a coin flip.

Cleaning grills? do you mean the grates or like an overhaul,replacing burner and that
-
I found a guy to clean my grill too.
I looked in the mirror like a dumbass.
Slider is fixed.
If anyone @SuperMario (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1596) @Honestbuckeye (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=37) wants a bread recipe, I'll post the one my wife makes weekly.
It's a crusty Tuscan bread.
-
He can do it all. I have him handle grates and the pans and plates below too. He does my gas grill. I handle the Egg which requires little maintenance.

I woke up in Lincoln this morning!
Lucky Guy
taking my daughter to the game - scored free tickets (lucky)
Attending a large tailgate sponsored by a hopefully, soon to be customer.
Plenty of food and drink!
11am game will be on at the tailgate!
will be watching Volleyball after the football game!
Beautiful football weather in Lincoln!!!
Sunny with a breeze. 72 degrees

Henderson is apparently questionable, not definitely out

Please do. Since my health scare last year I’m a crazy person about food and avoiding preservatives, which means bread and most of the food is homemade. And if there’s ever a group to trust on tasty food, this group is it.

As was hinted early in the week, Northwestern quarterback Ben Bryant reportedly will miss today’s game.

Woke up way early, I think as a result of accidentally waking up too early yesterday. Managed to hit the gym and knock out three needed errands.
A little sad I didn't make the Columbus trip. But I don't think I had the energy (and the bank account will look better for it). Gonna watch around the apartment, aside from checking if the UW alumni group watch event is well attended. It may not be. That's a fun day.
Noon slot is interesting. One must-watch game. One game I want to watch until it goes sideways quickly (Air Force is gonna whip Navy). Then we see what else pops.
-
I wish there was a chapter nearby me. Sarasota is a bit of a hike, especially after drinking.

Incredibly lazy start today. After a week in which I was going back and forth between the Cities and Fargo, it felt wonderful.
Starting at the St Paul Farmers Market, then the Gopher game. Getting stuff for beef stew next weekend at the tailgate.
-
Grill cleaning was also on my schedule this weekend. It absolutely blows!!
Drag it into the back yard and turn the leaf blower on it - gets the debris out from the bottom recesses. Then start it up get fire going HOT and cover the grates with foil for 10-15 muntes sort of like a self clean oven. You can dial the fire back and let it go longer if you'd like.Then scrape and brush to get all the schmutz off
-
It is Bridge Day in my little hometown of Fayetteville, WV. That is the one day of the year when BASE jumpers from all over the world come here to jump off our New River Gorge Bridge which is 876 feet above the bottom of the gorge.
It’s one of the iconic festivals in our state. But I’m not going. Got my workout in and I’m settling in to watch Penn St-Ohio St and then my Mountaineers at 3:30.

It’s built into an outdoor counter so I have to be more cautious with clearing it out because it’s near outdoor couches on a covered patio. When I heat it and scrape it, it’s a process. Only part of this setup I don’t like compared to the old grill I had at the old house where I did exactly as you described.

I’m curious how @medinabuckeye1 (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1547) is going to root against a Medina legend at qb of the opposition today 😜
-

There's been talk of it, which would be good, but there is also talk about Naples, which I would not join. Too far.
For now, the WAA Punta Gorda chapter is on my lanai.
-
Gus really pushing "Maserati Marv"
-
Gus?
Sound is off. He is unbearable.
-
Of course Franklin allows his guys to line up on 4th and 1 before calling a timeout and listlessly punting. Can't think of a more predictable game planner and play caller than James Franklin.
-
That was dumb
-
Punt fest
-
3 & out,3 & out. Baseball Pennant is on the other channels. Oh this is defense,okay
-
McCord. Woof buddy
-
Scoop and score taken off the board. Big call.
-
Good call he threw the flag immediately - lucky though as McCord looked off him then the other way
-
Funny the one angle we saw on that call was the other side of the field and barely visible
-
We finally have a touchdown, powered by OSU being able to run the ball
-
This is wired. I'm trying to get PSU-OSU and Navy-Air Force on a YouTube TV four-box.
They only have one. UCF-OU is fine, actually kinda good thus far. But the fourth game is an FCS one on a local TV feed. Admittedly, I think the conference covers my city, sort of, but it's also two schools that are not within 5 hours of here. And it's not a good matchup. One team is ranked somewhere between 15 and 25, the other two games under .500.
If there were any other good games, I'd be concerned.
-
My coaching career will last one more day. Two solid wins todaym. Hope to get a chance to soak up a little big noon before heading to farm. Resident genius game this week and Penn St sandbagging on TOP early
-
WTF Day throw it deep and hope for a call this guy I dunno. Did they have 3 TOs left?
-
WTF Day throw it deep and hope for a call this guy I dunno. Did they have 3 TOs left?
Getting the ball to start 2nd half. Relatively deep in own territory. Just get to the half with the defense playing well
-
Not like they capitalized when they were down there .Buckeyes were lucky there was holding on the scoop/score otherwise they're behing. Sitting Dallan Hayden is just assinine
-
UCF has the Sooners on upset alert. Up 20-17 early third.
-
Huge mistake not fielding that punt. Cost PSU about 25 yards.
-
Shut up Gus
-
Big fail to not be able to sneak it and then waste a timeout
-
Man, then they call a play that has no chance.
-
23-17 UCF early 4th.
-
OU puts together a drive to go up 24-23 with 9:16 to play.
-
JTT has been a monster today
-
Penn State’s defense is good. Do the Nitts have any WRs? Can Allar throw the ball deeper than 15 yards accurately? Their offense is torture to watch.
-
Marv
-
Harrison Jr is the difference. Ohio State has a playmaker, we do not.
-
Is gus getting paid to name drop Maserati?
-
This is all on James Franklin. There’s arguably MORE talent on the Penn State roster, and what does he do with it? His zero risk game planning and play calling keeps all that skill in its shell. Even when Penn State finally took a risk on 4th and 3 that somehow felt scripted.
A talent advantage that can beat 10 teams on their schedule every year. But when up against the two teams with rosters just as loaded - OSU & UM - Franklin falls on his face. Same story different year.
-
Going for it on that 4th and 3 was the right move, but the QB needed to find his RB coming out of the backfield.
Also it takes some talent to take a 20 years sack on 4th and 30.

I completely agree with this. Franklin’s play calling is idiotic.
-
I dunno, I've been bitching about McCord but Allar can't hit the broad side of a barn
-
OU looks like it’s going to survive UCF 31-29.
-
I dunno, I've been bitching about McCord but Allar can't hit the broad side of a barn
Lol. No kidding: I haven’t watched him much, but he’s a local legend. There are a lot of barns in the Medina area where he’s from so maybe those were his targets growing up because it certainly wasn’t receivers
-
OU picked UCFs play tecmo style on the 2pt try.
-
Stupid. F'ing. Penalties.
-
Iowa on brand, 6 play 13 yard td drive + 40yards in MN penalties. Dumb ones.

Not to be outdone, NW at N combined passing at half. . 6-14-34-0-3int.

The guy on my block w a Maserati says it's a high maintenance vanity car. He's into cars and just hates the Maserati. Apparently princess wife is into it.

I heard he was spinning the sign outside the dealership, then Harbaugh stole it
-

I had no problem.
Allar made a mistake, simple as that. He could have gone to Ohio State to play for B1G and National Championships and instead he went to Penn State where I think his best-case-scenario is to be a spoiler.
-
STUPID F'ING PENALTIES!!!!!!
-
I dunno, I've been bitching about McCord but Allar can't hit the broad side of a barn
McCord has that Krenzel habit of looking pedestrian then stepping on the gas when it counts
-
Wow Cooper DeJean!
edit:
hold up!
-
WOW called back hand signal taken as a fair catch
-
I love bacon.
-
Took the kids to a Pumpkin 🎃 Patch earlier so I'm watching tOSU/PSU on delay.
I hope this doesn't offend our PSU posters but I'm thoroughly unimpressed with PSU. I thought this game was a coin flip until Henderson, Burke, and Egbuka were unavailable. Once I knew they were out I more-or-less wrote off tOSU's chances and figured PSU would win easily.
IMHO, it looks BAD for PSU to lose this badly to an Ohio State team without:
- Their best CB,
- Their best RB, and
- Their second best WR.
-
Houston got screwed on the 3rd down spot on game tying drive in final minutes. 4th down call was bad, but...
-
I came into that game saying that if Wisconsin just won, I would be content and treat anything above that as gravy.
That game was unsightly and horrifying, but it was a victory, so I should be content. They also showed no quit in rallying. The young quarterback made some plays with some hotspots. The game-winning touchdown to an offensive lineman was pure poetry. I will take it.
(If the defense could stop busting when the quarterback gets on the edge, that would be nice)
-
The main reason I quit this site for a while is because college football has devolved into choosing between losing or winning by cheaters drawing up plays for anti semites.

That's what I said. Michigan is probably going to win a national championship with a coaching staff and roster filled with human garbage. As college football usually is. Hopefully they send their scouts to everyone ranked in the top 10. Because it's very clear that when they have to face a team that they aren't allowed to prep for, their defense isn't worth jack shit. Im back out, love you all. But college football is so clearly broken to allow the teams that already have every advantage to also cheat, and I'm done with it
-
21-0. jesus this game is already likely over and there's still 11 mins in the 2nd QTR.
keep fcking with Jeem on some BULLSHIT NCAA, please. you're just pissing this team off and making them take it out on their opponents.
-
28-0.
WHAT a freaking throw. My god. This JJ to Coleston Loveland connection is starting to turn into something...
-
Edwards screws up and negates a TD with a penalty which included a 10 second run off....
Oh well, Michigan on track to win 56-0 now instead of 70-0....

You’re so over the top on this topic. Human garbage? I hope no one accuses you of something in life and public opinion trashes your name without any facts being actually known.

not only have no FACTS been presented but all this is based upon anonymous unnamed sources and are ALLEGATIONS...and newslfash: it's not illegal to steal signs.
the issue is whether or not this Stallions or Sessions fellow or whatever his name is went to opponents games in person and did advanced scouting- which became against the rules due to an NCAA bylaw change in 1994.
that's what this is about. not about stealing signs- which EVERYONE does and is again...NOT AGAINST THE RULES.
-
Thought the penalty on Edwards negating a TD just before the half was chicken shit. Ref trying to even out the game.

Ok maybe I don’t get the rule. But if it was false start, I get running the 10 seconds, but how did they also lose the time from the play being run as well if it was a false start?
-
UNC in a dog fight with....UVA...wtf? Duke making FSU sweat.
-
Josiah Stewart is a huge liability on run defense whenever he is in the game. Guy literally cannot set the edge and every time he's in the game it's a free 5+ yard run or more to his side if the opposing offense runs right at him.
-
Mikey S with the pick 6. 35-0, should be 42-0. Thanks Donovan. You little anti-semite.
Noah Kim isn't the only Sparty QB that sucks donkey balls. Hauser is complete garbage as well. Noodled arm, everything is a floater.
-
#58 -> human garbage?
-
#58 -> human garbage?
nah. that was a cheap shot by a frustrated kid that is getting his asshole absolutely smashed in on live tv, but not human garbage. those Sparty THUGS that attacked Michigan players in the tunnels last year? Human garbage. The phone masturbator that just got fired for Sparty? Human garbage.

42-0. Should be 49-0. Thanks a lot Donovan, you little anti-semite! time to pull the starters Jeem...

JJ McCarthy stats through 8 games now:
78.1% completion, 1,803 passing yards, 10.7 Yards Per Attempt, 21 TD's (18 pass, 3 rush) vs. 3 INT's.
Kid has been basically flawless with the exception of that 3 INT's clunker vs Bowling Green which looks odd as hell when compared to how well he's played in his 7 other starts.

USC loses on a last second FG to Utah to drop it's second game in a row.
Washington down 7-0 with 4 mins left in the first half to....1-5 Arizona State and Michael Penix has 2 picks.
Drake Maye and UNC lose at home to a 1-5 UVA team....yikes.
People can say whatever they want about Michigan's schedule, but JJ/Corum/OL/1st team D haven't touched a 4th QTR yet and they have been beating the absolute fcking dog piss out of everyone in front of them- including 3 times now on the road (twice at night btw) in conference, meanwhile #5 Washington is down 7-0 at the half to an awful 1-5 Arizona State team that sucks and #10 UNC just lost at home to fcking 1-5 UVA. Yikes.

Asu trying hard to lose this game.

Drag it into the back yard and turn the leaf blower on it - gets the debris out from the bottom recesses. Then start it up get fire going HOT and cover the grates with foil for 10-15 muntes sort of like a self clean oven. You can dial the fire back and let it go longer if you'd like.Then scrape and brush to get all the schmutz off
I use my pressure washer.

He might be. But the true measure of a great QB is how they do against great competition.
he hasn’t had to do that yet this season. ( not his fault).
if he can perform that well against a top 5 or 10 team- I think we can say that. My guess is- he can and will. But he hasn’t had the chance yet. In fact- he hasn’t even played against a decent defense yet this year.
-
Caleb has not done it against better teams. That's where I'm headed because I think JJ will.

Well, @ELA (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=55) we all hope you reconsider this.
I mean I'm out on the sport. It's broken beyond repair

This feels like one of those preseason polls where you rank a sleeper highly to be cheeky.
It's hard for me to see a guy averaging less than 225 yards per game who hasn't been stress tested as No. 1. He might be able to be that guy, but you gotta do something to get the mantra. Either you bomb away or show your mettle in high leverage spots.
Maybe he will.

Maybe take a quick glance at a video before you put it on your scoreboard

it’s been broken. SEC broke it with all the paying of players so the rest of the conferences were cool with legally paying the players with NIL then add portal, playoff, and tv realignment finished it.
is what it is at this point. Last shoe to drop is the NCAA dying and going away- which can’t happen fcking fast enough and P5- well P4 now- breaking away and killing off the FBS/G5 and the ridiculous amount of teams- something like 133 now- which is a joke.

Agreed. It’s too premature to say that. All you can say so far is JJ looks to be much improved from where he was a year ago and that he’s obviously very talented.
If he goes out and deals vs Penn State and Ohio State - then we can have that conversation.

Letting the conferences negotiate their own TV deals became a much bigger problem than anyone anticipated.
Imagine the Packers jumping to the NFC East for the TV money, and the Bears suddenly becoming a de facto minor league team

That’s the tough spot as there hasn’t really been a real test yet. Penn State give us a much better idea of him along with the offense. The only part I disagree with is using the 225 ypg stat as he rarely plays in the second half and especially the 4th quarter. He’s #1 in QBR, although again to your point, against mediocre talent at best.
from a visual perspective, he’s only had one game he looked off against BG. Besides that, there’s 1-2 passes at most that aren’t perfect or aren’t the best decision. Besides that, the couple incompletions here and there are drops. Most players have inconsistencies during the year, but his are very very limited. The other player that sticks out like that to me is Marvin Harrison Jr. Some guys just seem to be on another level.

It was always a joke. After Tattoogate, the NCAA suspended OSU players for up to 10 games for a bunch of pretty minor infractions. Then they found that Cam Newton was sold to Auburn for six figures and suspended him for a half. They never had any morals guiding them, so they ended up mostly just punishing random players for petty crap.

That's fair. My main thought was, if you're gonna make that pitch and you haven't been tested, you ought to be at the forefront of your offense. Like Pinex or whatnot is at least a centerpiece. And to this point, JJ hasn't really been used that way.

I notice doing battle with the NCAA is a lot like surviving cancel culture. The ones who make it out are the ones who make it clear from the jump, "F*** you, I won't change ****, what are you really gonna do about it?" The ones who get buried are the ones who show fear or try to placate whoever's coming after them.
Charles Barkley is a good example of somebody who says some stuff, he's irritated a lot of people who got up in arms, and his response is brilliant....see above. Then they move on to something else, realizing he won't bend the knee. He's an old Auburn guy, and, ironically, AU's response to the NCAA with Cam was about the same thing.

this is exactly what happens. co-operate with the NCAA even a little bit, and they just bury you and make an example of you. you tell them to f**k right off, refuse to co-operate, tell them to get a subpoena (LOL), block them at every turn- you'll be fine.
-
That said, the NCAA also refused to make any changes to their philosophy about amateurism. And when something is that badly broken, when you refuse to fix it yourself, someone else is going to fix it for you. And you're not going to like the fix.
As for the on field product:
We all know that Michigan has been hammering everyone to the point where the starters haven't seen the 4th quarter all year. The question on them: when do they have their WTF game, Purdue or Maryland? Any team seriously contending for a MNC will have one. Washington survived theirs in the wee hours of this morning vs Arizona State (lost 4 turnovers, only had ball 22 minutes, final score was from a pick-six).

Helps if the tv networks, who run the sport now, want you on. There's a reason that in the Adidas scandal, out of the four schools accused; Oklahoma State was the one hammered. CBS paid too much money to allow a tournament with no Kansas, Arizona and/or Louisville, if they can help it.
The reason ESPN ran the MSU story back in 2019? They send out FOIA requests to multiple schools, and MSU was the only one who fought them on it. So ESPN decided to dig themselves. Then MSU, mid-story, submitted their data on reporting and punishments when it came to athletes and Title IX, and they were squarely in the middle on number, and actually had athletes found responsible at a HIGHER rate than most schools. So if they had just complied, they'd be a middling number in a story. Instead they became a context free story that came off way worse than if they had just complied with the initial request

Huh?
I think you meant SWC. Or you're just wrong. Like with JJ being the best QB. Either way, idk.
-
SWC? Lulz, no. It's been dead and gone for almost 30 years. The SEC has maintained a very proud tradition of paying players with giant bags of cash during the interim. For example we know Cam Newton cost over $180,000 because that was MSU's losing bid.
Of course that would be a bargain now, the ags dumped well into the 7 figures to secure their "greatest class ever."

please don't act all stupid like the SEC hasn't been paying players bags of cash for-oh-fcking-ever.
Never said JJ was the best QB in CFB, so idk what you're going on about there. Might've said he's the best QB in the B1G- which he is. Definitely said he's the best QB that Jeem has had in his tenure at Michigan- which is obviously true bc Jeem hasn't had much to write home about at QB at Michigan til JJ. Probably said JJ is the most talented QB that Michigan has had since Drew Henson- which again- he obviously is.

That was me.

After watching a lot of games this past weekend, a probably stupid thought popped into my head....Michigan would probably be a 10 pt to 2 TD favorite vs the field if they had Marvin Harrison Jr on their roster. Marv is that special and Michigan is really experienced, good, and deep everywhere.
They are loaded basically everywhere on both sides of the ball except for having a dominant #1 WR outside the numbers. Roman Wilson has been terrific this year and they rotate him all-around and he's done some damage on the outside but he is definitely most effective in the slot with his quickness and top-line speed. Michigan's OL has started to gel and get better every week with Henderson at LT and Barnhart back at RT. Corum looks better and better and more like his pre-injury self every single week. JJ is playing really good football right now. They have a terrific 1-2 punch at TE and Colston Loveland is a budding star. Donovan Edwards has been a disappointment for sure- but not going to write him off- he's ultra-talented and could have a breakout game at any moment. You put Marv on that offense- I honestly don't know how you'd defend them. Lack of having a guy like that might prevent them from realizing their ultimate goal.

What team have you seen that looks better? More complete? I haven’t seen that team yet.
as I said, in one of the ranking threads, the only team that could beat Michigan right now in my opinion is Michigan. In other words, if they show up and play hard and play well, I would take them against anyone.
I would get Washington an outside shot and maybe Georgia. But both would have to play super well.

As I noted earlier in this thread, Michigan is due for a WTF game. Every MNC contender in my lifetime has one. Who is it against, Purdue or Maryland?
Washington survived theirs in the wee hours of Sunday morning against Arizona State, needing a pick-six to win.

There is an awful lot of luck involved in winning an NC. What you bring up is one place where luck matters a lot.
Michigan has four scheduled games left:
- Vs Purdue on November 4
- At Penn State on Veteran's Day
- At Maryland on November 18
- Vs Ohio State on Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, November 25.
If they have their WTF game against PU or UMD they'll probably win anyway. Even if the Wolverines do lose to the Spoilermakers or get caught in a trap by Maryland in between top-10 showdowns, it really doesn't matter. At 8-1/11-1 with a loss to either Purdue or Maryland they'd go the the B1GCG anyway and then on to the CFP.
If Michigan loses to either tOSU or Penn State, that is much different. With a loss to the Buckeyes the Wolverines couldn't get to Indy unless the Buckeyes lose twice.
With a loss to Penn State the Wolverines would miss Indy unless PSU blows a game or Nebraska goes on a tear and IA/IL/NU finish very weakly.
It doesn't look like there will be a CFP spot for an 11-1 non-Champion this year so a loss to either PSU or tOSU probably means a Rose Bowl appearance for the Wolverines.
-
There's realistically (understanding hiccups happen) a good 12-15 teams that would be 8-0 with UM's schedule up to this point.
Michigan is an unknown.
Their QB is an unknown.
.
UM is probably a top 3 team.
McCarthy is probably a top QB.
.
But when Halloween is around the corner and the stickiest situation your teams has experienced was a locker room chewing out at halftime vs a MAC team, we don't KNOW anything about you.
All these declarative statements are bizarre.

I wish our compliance dept. weren't such anal bloodhounds with hard-ons for NCAA rules. They've been great for sniffing out infractions, self-imposing penalties, and bowing with humble suppliance to the NCAA Overlords. They've been a total cock-block as far as getting some good players in on those good ol' slush funds through the years. I used to be proud of that. Now with NIL it all seems pointless and I wonder how many more SEC titles we might have had if not for their pure glee in self-hammering every sport on campus.

Run two TE sets then,they have enough to spread the field and grind out yds on the ground also. According to sports -reference.com Donovon has only had 3.2 per carry and 8.8 per catch this season. But the potential is always there to bust out

Not really and i don't like defending them either. But most of last years team is back sans Uzi Smith and that beast at center what ever the hell his name was. But Hairball has portaled well and the lines are decent. They haven't beat themselves and won all their games handily their closest games were won by 24,25 pts. So IMO if they stay healthy they should end up back in the POs again. I'm more than willing to watch that chair kicked out from under them though :cheer:

I haven't seen one as complete and consistently dominant, but then again Michigan has had a very easy schedule. Having said that, they can't control who they play in B1G play and they have been significantly better in B1G play than vs their creampuff OOC pre-season schedule. They have seemed to get better week to week in-conference play and have been just crushing the life out of and beating the absolute dogpiss out of 5 B1G opponents now- 3 of which were in-conference road games- two of which were night road games- and one of which was a night road game vs their in-state rival. Road games in the B1G are never easy, especially at night. I've seen really good 2021 and 2022 Michigan teams have struggle bus moments on the road vs inferior conference opponents. This team is veteran and experienced and they don't let up- and have been absolutely pummeling conference opponents.
I think Washington, Ohio State, FSU, Oregon are right there. Not feeling as good about Texas anymore and definitely think Oklahoma might be a bit fraudy. Georgia would be the obvious answer but losing Brock Bowers really changes things for them I think. Not sure they will get out of the SEC unscathed if Bowers is done for the year. He's by far the best TE in the nation and the best player on their team and he changes life for a young QB who has been up and down. Without Bowers- Georgia could take a real step backwards. I really think he's the most important piece to the success of that offense.

Maryland looks like it could be a bit tricky...sandwiched right in between massive games vs Penn State and Ohio State- seems like it could be a game where Michigan could over-look Maryland a little bit and have some struggle bus moments.

Yeah I would buy that argument maybe if this was a young team playing a lot of new players.
It's not. And I don't. 99% of the starters on that team are already known proven commodities. It's a very experienced, deep team and most of the starters on it have been there, done that.
To me this team can only get better. They were without by far their two best players in the secondary the first 3-4 weeks of the season in Will Johnson and Rod Moore. Those guys are getting back into game speed/shape. Corum seems like he's getting more confidence in his knee and getting better and better and back to his pre-injury self every single week. The starting 5 OL just got set 4 weeks ago with Henderson at LT and Barnhart back to RT (where he played last year) and it's getting better each week and starting to gel. I think that OL really takes an upswing coming out of the bye as they'll be able to fine tune schemes with the set 5.
And the thing that could push that offense over the top- Donovan Edwards hasn't done jack yet. The moment that kid starts to play like his 5* HS recruit rating- like he did last year- that offense will go up another level.
-
UM and its moving parts are known commodities vs Pedestrian State and Apathetic U.
But they're 2-2 vs top teams. 2-0 vs OSU the past 2 years, 0-1 vs TCU, and 0-1 vs UGA.
We have no idea if they're going to do anything vs OOC teams with a pulse. No matter how good they look vs MSU or Rutgers.

Penn State wasn't a top 10 team last year? Oh that's right, they were, and Michigan pummeled them 41-17.
Newsflash: nobody was beating Georgia in 2021, that defense was filled with MUTANTS who are now dominating in the NFL.
Michigan crapped down it's leg vs an inferior TCU team. It happens.
Does Florida have a pulse? Because I'm pretty sure Michigan would beat them by 35 points minimum today on a neutral site.

And Graham Mertz. :86:
This is for you and Nubbz, who previously asked who was having better seasons than JJ and Marv. Because I can't resist.
Yards per attempt:
#1 Jayden Daniels -- 11.5
#2 (T) Jalen Milroe -- 10.6 <-- did not see that coming
#2 (T) J.J. McCarthy --10.6
#4 Michael Penix -- 10.0
Passing yards per game:
#1 Michael Penix -- 368.0
#2 Shedeur Sanders -- 345.7
#3 Jayden Daniels -- 321.6
As you might imagine, McCarthy is way down the second list because Michigan doesn't want or need him to pass a ton. Still, it's worth something when a guy can deliver so much when he's asked.
Total offense:
#1 Jayden Daniels -- 386.8
#2 Michael Penix -- 368.4
#3 Drake Maye -- 350.0
#4 Shedeur Sanders -- 342.4
#5 Dillon Gabriel -- 337.3
TD's responsible for:
Jayden Daniels -- 30
Caleb Williams -- 30
J.J. McCarthy -- 21
Michael Penix -- 20
Receiving yards per game:
#1 Malik Nabers -- 122.6
#7 Marvin Harrison Jr. -- 109.4
Receiving TDs:
#4 (T) Malik Nabers -- 9
#17 (T) Marvin Harrison Jr. -- 6
ftr, no, Nabers is not better than Marv. But he is having the better season thus far.
What's crazy about Nabers' numbers is that he's splitting catches with Brian Thomas Jr., #1 in receiving TDs and #14 in receiving yards per game. Ohio State doesn't have anyone comparable to Marv's production. The fact Nabers and Thomas form probably the best duo points out that Daniels is unquestionably having a better season than McCarthy thus far, and may be the better QB. Disparate schedules make for poor speculation.

Milroe's YPA is high because that's basically all he can do- throw bombs. He is god awful on the short to intermediate- which are actually tougher throws to make than deep balls.
McCarthy hasn't passed a ton because he hasn't touched a 4th QTR. Michigan's average margin of victory OOC was 26.7 PPG, in the B1G it's nearly 40 PPG. Dude just won't put up the huge stats because he isn't playing entire games. LSU's defense is so bad this year, Daniels has to play entire games.
Daniels might be having a better season statistically, but anybody with a pair of eye balls can see McCarthy is the far more talented QB with far more arm talent and way more NFL upside imo. It's not even that close really to be honest. Daniels won't have much of a pro career beyond his college days imo. McCarthy keeps playing like this and fine tuning his game and continues to just play within himself and cut out the try hard gun-slinger hero ball bullshit- he'll be a 1st rd pick come April.

Probably. The NFL hates accurate guys with good arms who read through progressions and run like Lamar Jackson.

His arm is just OK and he runs nothing like Lamar Jackson lol.
He’s basically Hendon Hooker but a tick faster, younger, and with functioning knees.

Penn St showed they were a level below OSU and UM.
The point is that this QB with this HC are 2-2 vs top teams. I don't know why it's radical for me to say playing 8 easy games makes it uncertain that UM is any better than it's been in its last 15 games.
Not sure what Florida has to do with anything. But stay awesome!

Milroe's ypa stat is like the old wishbone option QBs.....low comp %, but most of their completions were deep passes.
it's all he can do...the kid has a giant arm but he can't hit the broadside of a barn. he can chuck it deep pretty well, that's for sure.

His arm is just OK and he runs nothing like Lamar Jackson lol.
He’s basically Hendon Hooker but a tick faster, younger, and with functioning knees.
You can be a real weird dude.
I haven't watched McCarthy all that much, so I wouldn't comment on how he compares to others I'm more familiar with. It's entirely possible I could watch him more and easily agree.
I simply answered a question and a statement MrNubbz and 847 had respectively, and gave some stats for context. Then you come in hollering about how overrated Daniels is and how much greater McCarthy is.
...okay?....
I don't know what I'm supposed to say to that.
However. You clearly haven't watched Daniels enough either if you think he physically isn't cut out for the NFL. You seem to think he has a weak arm and that's just empirically false. The Lamar Jackson/running comparison isn't mine, that comes from the talking head scouts. I agree it's not a direct comparison, but I get it, because he's not a powerful running QB, and he's not a jitterbug like Mahomes or Hurts. He's more of a long-strider like Vince Young, except that's not a great comp either because his legs aren't as long as VY, who had one of the most unique running forms I've seen. Lamar has kind of what I called road-runner legs....they look short and they circle around in a blur of motion. Not really what Daniels looks like, but the instances where his mobility is effective and ability to get the edge is similar. Most of those same pontificators also say Daniels should ideally go to a team where he can sit behind a veteran for a few years, where he won't be expected to start Day 1, that they don't think he's ready for that. I have no idea.
Just not sure what drives you to crap on a kid out of nowhere whom you don't seem to know much about. Nobody is downplaying your precious McCarthy by stating facts that Daniels is having a better season so far.

I heard someone point out that the last two weeks, the major ACC upset was in the CW game. Pitt over Louisville, and Virginia over UNC. That in the age where every game is covered by a national network, the CW game is the new version of the old SEC game on Jefferson pilot, or ACC on raycom, or Big Ten on the first iteration of ESPN+, which was just the games ESPN paid raycom to broadcast, and then they slapped their own logo on it

Years back, some young good looking woman stopped me at Kroger and said "I had your son." I said "Are you that stripper at the Cheetah Club from years back?"
No, I had him in algebra."
