I would put UF over ND. UF is the most surprising team to me. I knew they had a great defense this year but I thought they would struggle on offense. Theyve come together pretty quickly on that side of the ball and look to be a pretty good. They get a bye and then get LSU in the Swamp, so we will find out how good both of these teams really are. UF doesnt get Bama, but their remaining schedule still pretty tough (they get their SEC buddies at home) #2 LSU, #7 S Car, #5 UGA, #4 FSU at Doak.

for real? it always blows my mind how little some of you know about other conferences...
-
the way LSU plays I sometimes think they belong in the B1G
Bama lookin like easy champs. I like Oregon a lot but I think it is just their unis. I need a west coast team to root for. My schedule doesn't really allow me to watch any OSU games -
osu and michigan may just play to a 6-6 tie this year.... shit is brutal
-
5 a year. they already play 3 or 4. won't be too much different. ACC is the new Big East

Dropped passes, penalties, poor FG attempts. I will grant you they have a 1st year starting QB and this was his first road test, but you clearly saw the team last night that played the Toledo game, not the one that played the Okie St game. And up at Michigan, we saw many more of the Toledo games than not.
rich-rod first years are generally terrible and have always been terrible. AZ hasn't had major penalty issues this year, and the FG issues are no different than they have had in the last two years under stoops. the cupboard is bare; we got crushed horribly in the second half because we have no depth.
also, matt scott is not a first year QB and this isn't his first road test. -
No. Who have they beaten?

Navy - Good win, good margin...but still, it's Navy. You're supposed to beat them by a lot.
Purdue - Purdue might be the best team in the Leaders division, but that's reaaaallllllyyy not saying very much right now. I expect a top-10 team to beat Purdue by more than 3 points at home.
Michigan State - An undoubtedly impressive effort, but I think it should be clear to everyone by this point that Michigan State has regressed badly and in no way deserved the #10 ranking they had going into this game. They are completely one-dimensional on offense, and not even that good at the one dimension they do have. Impressive defensive effort, to be sure, but that wasn't Oregon ND shut down.
Michigan - 13 points on 6 turnovers. I really shouldn't have to say more than that, but I will. When Michigan wasn't gifting Notre Dame the ball (and I'm trying hard to think of one of the 6 turnovers that wasn't a complete gift, and not coming up with any), they were moving the ball with relative ease. On three of Denard's INTs, the receiver he was targeting was wide open, and the INT was the product of a truly (and abnormally...hate on Denard as much as you like, but his performance yesterday was a complete aberration) horrendous throw, not good coverage. And again...the Notre Dame offense got completely stifled by a D that was shredded by Alabama and Air Force. 13 points and 239 total yards at home is not an impressive output under normal conditions...it's nigh inexcusable when your D picks up 6 turnovers along the way. I'm sure I'll get mocked for this, but I came out of that game thinking neither team was very good, but that Michigan was better.
So, no, I haven't seen anything that makes me think Notre Dame is actually a top-10 team at this point. They can prove me wrong against Stanford in a couple weeks, but I don't really expect them to. -
Oregon being proud of their start is like UF being proud of theirs. While it's cute and all, there's not much hope for ending the year undefeated. Although I'd give Oregon a 30% of getting it done, while UF has no chance and will end the year with at least 3 loses. GL not losing a game in USC, Cal, Standford, OSU, PAC12 CG stretch to end the year.

If you would've stuck with just USC and Stanford I'd be with you. Cal and Oregon State won't be able to keep up with Oregon.

LOOOLLLL @ Michigan being better. All they have is 1 player: Denard. Take him away, and Michigan won't even be even close to being ranked.
-
I was just pointing out that their last 5 games are a tough stretch to end the year with. Easy to overlook Cal sandwiched between USC and Stanford, and OSU sandwiched between Standford and the PAC12 CG.

I'll take FSU's 80%ish chance of making it over Oregons 30%ish -
College Gameday will be in East Lansing this weekend. Games must really suck this week.
