WOW
Two top 10 teams fell last night to unranked teams.
2 Clemson lost to Syracuse (27-24)
and
8 Wash State lost to Cal (blown out 31-3)

With no great games today I am hoping for some more upsets. I would love for USC to lose to Utah and Georgia to lose to Missou (which won't happen).

Miami vs Georgia Tech might be a good game. Miami is a little banged up.

some other games today
OSU at Nebraska
Alabama vs Arkansas
Auburn at LSU
Mich at Indiana
Mich State vs Minn
Wash vs AZ State
Stanford vs Oregon
Navy at Memphis
Oklahoma vs Texas
OK State vs Baylor

Notre Dame with a much needed bye. Our RBs and Qb need to get healthy for a tough 2nd half stretch.
I think we get to see our next QB play tonight

when USC plays Utah.
OU vs Texas  
Paulie from Brick : 10/14/2017 8:47 am : link
I think this will be an interesting game. I think Texas is gaining some serious momentum, while OU seems to be trending downward. Also Texas in my opinion has the coaching edge here with coach Herman.

He hasn't played very well this season and it seems that everyone that has any connection to him and/or the school are saying he will not enter the draft.

still raw in things and basically limited tome as a starter
Navy/Memphis may get to 90 points.  
Maryland Giant : 10/14/2017 9:08 am : link
Hoping Mids can keep the ball for 40 minutes.

Navy leads nation with 414 rushing ypg.

QB Zach Abey is 2nd in nation with 175 rushing ypg.

But Memphis has a strong, balanced offense.

GO NAVY!!!

I like Navy. Good Program good HC and staff.

Its not too hard to lead the nation in rushing when your team rushes 90% of the game.

I consider Abey not as a qb but as Head Running Back.

Beat Memphis!!!
Virginia needs to prove they can win games they're supposed to win  
Greg from LI : 10/14/2017 10:45 am : link
UNC is a 1-5 mess - beating them should not be a tall order at all. I just can't shake the feeling that this is a trap game , though.

Usually they aren't so I guess BBI is already going into NFL draft mode, for good reason
As for last night, the ALCS overshadowed it  
dpinzow : 10/14/2017 11:26 am : link
But that has to be the biggest win for Syracuse since McNabb was QB...could it open up their recruiting for better talent? We'll see

Washington State's luck finally ran out. Mike Leach teams always give their fans a sugar high before the inevitable let down

It was an awesome win, for sure. My concern is that in typical Syracuse fashion, a win like this will put Babers at the top of a lot of wishlists and he moves on to greener pastures.

You make a good point about the "quantity" of Navy rushes. However, they have "quality" rushing as well. Navy is 4th in FBS in yards per carry (Stanford, Notre Dame, Arizona) and that is despite the fact that opponents put 7+ in the box an absurd 98.7% of the time. The national average is 56.5%.

I like your description of Abey!

Fun team to watch.
You guys on Darnolds nuts

Are funny. He hasn't looked very good at all this season and suddenly he's the second coming. Case of slim pickins.

I agree. They are good at what they do rush the ball. Even when you KNOW its a rush..you don't know who or where the rush will be. Very frustrating for defenses. Plus Abey is accurate enough that if you over stack the box 9 guys he can make a pass in one on one.

Watch, the Giants will draft a QB again this draft. Then the guy will sit next to Webb taking notes behind Eli. Then the same people again will be calling for the Giants to draft a QB in 2019 again because the guys sitting on the bench are busts.

Clemson drops to 9.

Good news is the Irish should move up 2-3 spots without having to win. From 16 to 13.

The rankings will probably look like this:

1. Alabama
2. PSU/Georgia
3. PSU/Georgia
4. TCU
5. Wisconsin
6. Ohio State
7. Miami
8. Oklahoma
9. Clemson
10. USC/Oklahoma State

ND will be around 12, Michigan 13 or 14

I'd like to see one of these Big 10 teams actually beat a top team before sending them all to the National Semifinals, lol. All of these teams have had a complete joke for a schedule. There are a lot of dreadful teams in the conference that they are getting fat on and the OOC schedules are embarrassing. The one opportunity they had, Ohio State was curb stomped at home by Oklahoma.

Fortunately for them, nobody else is distinguishing themselves either, but that's also a result of playing some teams that can actually fight back.
Rosen had a bad game  
jeff57 : 10/15/2017 9:21 am : link
Lamar Jackson with over 500 yards although a mixed day passing.

Mason Rudolph with 460 yards passing, albeit against Baylor. Still, I think he should be more in the conversation.

You're right, but overall nobody outside of a select few has played top competition. We'll find out more about the Big 10 in the next two weeks, as the big boys in the East finally play each other.

There's also a chance that we'll be talking about an undefeated matchup between South Florida and Central Florida at Thanksgiving and crashing the party.
