My shovel has no problem.  You're the one who's saying that if Wisconsin is a top team in the country then college football has a quality issue.  You even added "Yowza!" at the end.  It was pretty cool.

That's how most people talk about teams they consider to be good though (or, in your vernacular, "not very good," which, of course, means "good" - to you and only you).

So yes, you've said it both ways, as you always do.  "Wisconsin is good.  But I don't know how good."  "Wisconsin might be good, they might just be a bad team with a bad schedule, or they might be great if they beat up on Ohio State."  "Wisconsin as one of the top teams in the nation?  YOWZA!"

So who knows what you're saying?  All I know is pretzels are delicious.

These pretzels are very old and very stale.

Auburn has looked good, but overhyped to me.  Georgia and Clemson, the same.  But that doesn’t mean they aren’t good and can become great by season’s end.  OSU has been best team I have seen thus far this year.

They’ve looked a bit overhyped all year.

Huh? The only game they’d played within 23 points before today was a win over a top 10 team.

I’m 100% convinced you haven’t watched any college football over the past 5 years.

Not only are you wrong, but speculated wrong.  Went to several of the last five Rose Bowls, attended the national championship game twice, watch every weekend.

I said they looked overhyped a few weeks ago.  They did not look good against Notre Dame.  Just as I said on the NFL side that the Packers has edge over Cowboys.  I’m sorry if you don’t like my comments, but they look like they are holding up thus far. 

Let me know about the Counsell claims, wars and bells, non stop talking or whatever it was.

True - but they were only rated so high because they were in the SEC.

With a little luck (and with backups on defense for UW), MSU might break the 100 yard barrier today.

It is.  The games are wild in a “watching a disaster unfold” kind of way but rarely do games between top teams live up to the hype.

Wisconsin’s top recruit, quarterback Graham Mertz, has only played two games this year. Looks like they want him to redshirt. Someone grab Chico’s his fainting couch.

Yep. That was the plan for him this year once Coan won the job.

For you old schoolers, the Dick Butkus press conference yesterday is pretty great...Illinois unveiled a statue in his honor.  The genes passed on. Butkus sharp as a tack still.

Talks about today's kids, the ME ME ME generation vs team. If you are fragile, don't watch it.

His grandson is plays volleyball for UCLA, 6'9" middle. 

Good stuff

Your judgements are holding up? Huh? UW overhyped? Clemson overhyped? PSU a top 7 team? Wut?

I said Georgia overhyped...yup..looked so so against ND (who looked so so tonight against an average USC team)...check

Clemson I said was overhyped, but could get better like they did last year.  They look to be getting it going...check.

UW...said we would find out in a few weeks, MSU could barely beat IU and has no offense...we will find out in a few weeks as I said....check

Penn State went on the road to beat Iowa...check

I know, it's tough.  UGa losing, PSU keeps winning.  UW-madison extension piling up wins but not against anyone of note.  Clemson, have to give them credit...they are putting it together.

Lol. So when UW Madison keeps winning its “against nobody of note.” But with a worse schedule PSU just “keeps winning.”

I don't follow college football that closely but here's what I do know.  Running Hornibrook out of town and replacing him with Coan plus the maturation of the D from last year coupled with a world class running game makes this version of Bucky one of the best that I can remember in my near 60 years.  Are they Final 4 good?  Time will tell.
