Another team that's obviously taken a huge step back is Clemson. I guess it's not easy replacing the best QB in college football after all. Their offense is a disaster.

Plus, Travis Etienne is a major loss.

There is only 1 real good team this year. I doubt anyone else goes undefeated.

0-3 Arizona, who is coming off a loss to Northern Arizona is within 24-19 at #3 Oregon. I'm not sold on the Ducks. Struggled vs Fresno. Stony Brook. How good will their win at Ohio State be. Book is still open on the Buckeyes.

Oregon scores 17 unanswered to win 41-19.  They are tough.

That same Fresno team went on the road and won at UCLA and are now in the top 25 at 4-1.  That close win won't look bad when all is said and done.  Still think Oregon runs the table.  The only true tough game left is at UCLA and I think they are a class above the Bruins.

Oklahoma survived vs WVU but same sort of soft schedule.  Think if they get past UT, which they should, they have a good chance of going undefeated.

Villanova played well in a 38-17 loss to Penn State. Should give them some momentum when they get back to FCS play.
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

I can't see how UW can continue with Mertz. I fail to see any QB qualities.

Terrible in the pocket, always drifting back and to the right, the worst accuracy I have seen in many a year. There is not one quality anyone can point to and say, OK, let's build on that.

Bollinger, Tolzein, Stocco, even Joel Stave, would have won this game today.

Bill Connelly of ESPN was pretty meh on Mertz entering the season wondering if he could improve on moving on from his first read.  After the Illinois and Michigan games last year, defenses largely took away from his first read and he’s been terrible since then.

I looked it up.  Nate Thurmond.  Averaged 15 rebs a game

But....not in the last 50 years.  Nate Thurmond was drafted out of Bowling Green in 1963.

Bama-Ole Miss total opened at 77.5 and already is up to 79.
Guess there might be some offense in that game.

Antonio Daniels was the #4 pick in 1997 but was serviceable at best.

I still think I would take the over.

In his last 5 games against ranked opponents, he has 2 TD passes and 16 turnovers.

Tell me again, Mr Chryst, why is Mertz on the field?

You make that sound like a bad thing.

He could have 1 TD pass and 17 turnovers!

I must admit, I do enjoy watching the local media scramble to protect Chryst and Mertz and temper expectations after pumping Mertz up the last two years

I also enjoy the fan base taking exception to Mertz NIL announcement this past summer.  It’s a fun convergence

I actually think Chryst is in more trouble that might be acknowledged.  I don't think he is going to be fired unless the bottom REALLY falls out.  I would expect maybe Joe Rudolph being let go as a sacrificial lamb.

But Jim Leonhard didn't turn down the Packers DC gig because he just loves what he does in Madison.

Leonhard reading the Alando Tucker playbook?

Some real good games this week, Mr. N. Thanks, as always for the list.

Would be cool if Ole Miss found some way to beat Bama and, obviously, if Cinci could win at ND.
