buffaloaggie Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Continuing with what we saw in the 2nd half of the championship game, Alabama is even more dominant with Tua Tagovailoa as QB. Hurts should only be used in a mop up role or in case of an injury. They'll also have no problem finding a replacement for Calvin Ridley. Three WRs stood out. Scariest Bama team yet. The Pac-12 is sad. Yes, UW lost a tight one to likely the 3rd best team in the SEC, in what was essentially an Auburn home game. But Arizona and UCLA losing their coach's debuts? Chip Kelly and Kevin Sumlin apparently have some recruiting to do, to get "their' guys. Alumni must buy into their process. Big Ten - Ohio State dominated the worst team in the sad Pac 12 and Wisconsin won against their cupcake opponent. Penn State almost pulled a Michigan, struggling with giant killer Appalachian State. We'll all look forward to September 29 with Ohio State at Penn State to see what's for real this year. Nebraska was thunderstruck yesterday, having their home opener cancelled by weather. A tough road game for Nebraska at Wisconsin should decide the Big Ten West. Oklahoma looks like the class of the Big 12, though they have to travel to TCU and a tough looking West Virginia in the regular season finale. Texas showed they're all hype and no substance. SEC - Auburn won over a top rated opponent, while the rest of the conference ate up their cupcake opponents. Poor Tennessee though, blasted by WVU, with their faithful fans saying they're better than last year's winless in the SEC squad. OK. A&M and Clemson match up in week 2 to see if Jimbo Fisher is that much better of a coach than Kevin Sumlin. LSU still must play a top ten Miami this week, with their Ohio St castoff QB. ACC - Clemson will show what they're made of in week 2 at A&M. Miami, Va Tech and FSU have yet to play. The rest of the conference can't wait for basketball season. Others - UCF won't go away. Notre Dame held on in what may have been their toughest matchup for the year. Still, some tough roadies await. Predicted final four - Bama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Ohio State 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 week one with Bama and most favourites stomping a cupcake, and a few games which should have been good but sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK. That's because a big faction of their fan base is circle jerking over Phat Phil Fulmer being a part of the football program again.

Louisville might really be better than you think. Before the season is over, I think that they will knock off a higher ranked team (if of course they play any). Their quarterback is quite talented and the have good receivers. They even had some pass rush r33. Their biggest problem was that they couldn't cover the 4 tremendous wideouts on Alabama. They are the absolute best group of receivers I have ever seen on a college team and Tua can find these guys. A few years ago, Bama opened against USC and beat them 56-7. USC got better as the season went on. It can happen at Louisville too imo. Let's face it.....Give Coach Saban 9 months to prepare and he could probably defeat China in a ground war.

buffaloaggie Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Week 4 showed it's Bama and everyone else. 22 points is now the closest any team has come to Bama. They got Miss State, they got LSU, they got Auburn remaining, but they have shown no weaknesses, and even look to have found a decent Kicker. Big 12 - OU showed some weakness, and with a road game against West Virginia and a Texas team gaining some confidence, the Big 12 may be on the outside looking in when playoff teams are chosen. I could see a scenario where OU loses the season finale at WVU, then comes back the next week to win the Big 12 Championship game. Who said the Big 12 having a Championship game was a good idea? They play everyone in the conference anyway. Pac 12 - Stanford at Notre Dame next week may wind up being an elimination game for one of them. If ND happens to win, they'll have a clear path to the playoff, only to be slaughtered by whoever they play. ACC - Va Tech just blew their season big time. It's Clemson cruising. Sorry Cuse fans, a road game at Clemson this week. SEC - Besides talking Bama, LSU has both Georgia and Bama at home. They could make waves, at least with UGA. Kentucky, meh... Big 10 - Another elimination game this week as Ohio State plays Penn State. Who knows, UB could be pushing for a playoff spot, as we're at 21 unbeatens after week 4, and many still have to play each other. Playoffs - Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, Notre Dame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
