First weekend in October and OP is giving up on the season.


Sure you aren't an Aggie?

Between Texas A&M and Michigan State -- they are fighting with each other over who gave out the worst contract in CFB history to their coach.

Bama hasn't exactly played a murderers row so far. I'd bet the two schedules are closer than you would think so far

Arkansas and Texas on the road is a tough road for this early on.

Both teams have enough talent to give anyone is tough game if they are playing up to their standard.

But regardless, there are a lot of good teams this year, OP is just salty.

You don't think Bama and Ohio State are good teams?

Bama was a totally missed DPI and late game missed sack for loss from losing to a Texas which lost to ttu.
 
I've seen 5 FBS teams in person so far this year, and I would rank them in this order:

01. Baylor (won @ Iowa State)
02. Purdue (won @ Minnesota)
03. Iowa State (lost to Baylor)
04. Minnesota (lost to Purdue)
05. Ohio University (lost @ Iowa State)

To be fair, Minnesota did not have Ibrahim play due to an ankle injury.

Well, Kansas has almost reached bowl status when many media outlets figured the Jayhawks as a 2 win team. I want to know: Did Texas play up like hell (I mean starting QB was injured and backup was banged up some) against Bama or did Bama play down? Is this the same Longhorn team that played Texas Tech? The ACC has totally shit the bed this season. Miami losing to MTSU. VT losing to Old Dominion. Pitt losing to Georgia Tech. Where is Texas A&M if Max Johnson started the season? Before the season started, would you make the bet at this point in the season that Illinois, Minnesota, and Maryland would have a combined 3 losses? And what something like 5 coaches are gone already. Or Oklahoma is next to last in the Big XII standings and Kansas is up top. Or the fact that Mizzou was gonna give Georgia a bigger fight than Oregon. The season has been very unpredictable so far. That is college football. But damn, it is a long way to go.

...and yet it is still the same, same.

Current AP Rankings
1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. Ohio State
4. Michigan
5. Clemson

The brethren in those three conferences seem to like the status quo.
 
This is a great year. Tennessee in the top 10? USC in the top 10? Nice to see some teams like this get back into the fold. It's like the early 2000's again.

everything that had to break right for Tech to win happened.. they were going for it on 4th downs the entire game.. If Card had played 1/2 as good as he did Saturday night, they beat Tech.
 
Texas played Bama very tough. They held them to 20 points (when they're averaging 48.4 on the season) and only 5.9 yards per play (when they're averaging 7.8 yards per play). And even then, a good chunk of Bama's yards came on the McClellan TD run (80 yards on 23 carries outside of that). Not many teams have limited Alabama's offense like that during the Tua/Young years. Texas probably should have gone for it on 4th and 2 at the 15 or even 4th and 4 at the 6, but they still got points.

TTU just seemed like a dumb loss. Fumbling on the first play of OT is pretty unfortunate.
 
TCU is good

We shall see. They've certainly made a liar out of me early in the season. I thought they'd struggle big time this year. They still may. But I've got to admit they look a lot better than I thought they would...and not just from the OU game.
