Michigan and PSU look very beatable…it’s a matter of can you take advantage of it

Michigan last chance with under 2 mins and 2 time outs down 6…haven’t really showed any ability to do it…unless they happen to get some broken or explosive play by chance

Fleck not going for 2 earlier in the 4th still looming too

ISU inside the 5 2 mins lest down 42-38 to WVU
UCF down 24-17 to Houston 4 mins left

Minn will beat Michigan

WVU less than Ming left on their 35 down 3

WVU gets a nice play for maybe 20 yards but them fumbles it to ISU…fighting for the extra yards cost them

Oh wow Cuse scores 4th and goal from like the 17 to potentially tie it…roughing penalty moves it closer and Cuse going for two to win it

Cuse scores it but under review…looked good and not sure there will be a view to overteun anyway

Cuse 42-41 on UConn…would’ve been killer to lose a 20 point lead

UF 3-3 with Mizzou



FSU 14-7 on UVA
Mizzou 47yd TD 10-3 on UF

Nebraska is looking better this year with Colandrea and year 2 under Holgorsen.

They also have a new DC Rob Aurich who came from SDSU where he did a good job and he was plucked from Jason Eck’s Idaho staff originally. NM has a top 20ish defense so far this year. I like that Eck is able to identify some capable coaches it seems.

Rhule may have finally landed on some solid coordinators. We’ll see how the rest of the season goes for them.
From the other thread- and I will regret posting early. Matt Rhule saying to Locksley--hold my 4-0 beer!

Fickell won and Locklsley and Norvell winning currently.
That bodes well for Schiano?

Are you implying Schiano can be counted on to put the Hoosiers back to what they used to be and RU Fans have a reason to celebrate
Well Nebraska has closed to down 16-14 so wouldn’t count my chickens on the hot seat coaches lol.

if anything though, I’d say after today every team on the schedule looks beatable but can you take advantage of it?

What scares me about you saying "every team on the schedule looks beatable"
os my feelings of every team on Rutgers schedule probably sees Rutgers as a team they should beat.

I'll go all out crazy and say "Indiana will be the new Louisville" (10 years later , to brag about )
edit: oops it's 20 years later

Sure but my point is more about “any given Saturday” seems as real as ever and opportunity is there for teams to perform above their expected level in a given year…that’s the current CFB landscape but can you exploit it at times and if not why not.
