A totally, a really good place to watch a game. Enjoy yourself.

Something about seeing Wisky in throwback uniforms seems... apt.

Yes it was. How many #1 votes does Clemson lose to Bama in the next coaches poll? Or the AP for that matter.

Or Georgia gaining some #1 votes too. As ND looks like they are going to polish off a previously undefeated Cavalier team enhancing the Bulldog's win over the Irish.

My guess is Clemson bleeds some voters. I'll guess Bama who had 6 AP votes and 2 Coaches votes ends up with 16 and 10 respectively. That may be a conservative guess.

even if they fall to #2 BFD, as long as they stay in top 4 when it counts

a little scare now and a Dabo coaching mooment might be a good thing for Clemson longer-term

Bad call.

OSU capitalizes on it.

Do you really think it matters, in the long run?

You're right of course. Just wondering.

I would not drop them, but then I favor body of work and try not to get caught up in a "how were they in their most recent game" mindset. What gives me more pause about yesterday - I missed long swaths of the game including the end - is that the year long trend of their offense just not clicking continues. On the other hand, in prior years ClemSIN lost that type of game; Pitt and Syracuse two or three years ago.

So my real question is, given Hurts and Burrows and Fields and Tua, has Jennifer Lawrence played himself out of Heisman contention?

Notes from week 5

Toledo came from behind 7 points in the 4th quarter to win by 7 for the first time since 1971. (The third year of a 35 game winning streak- still second behind Oklahoma) The Rockets beat BYU (who beat USC) 28-21.

Since 2015, Rutgers has been outscored 204-37 in four games against Michigan. (52-0 yesterday)

Penn State has outscored Maryland 163-6 over the last three years.

The PAC 12’s playoff hopes took another hit. Cal’s loss left the league with no undefeated teams in September since the league expanded to 12 in 2011

Oklahoma and Notre Dame each recorded their 900th all-time victory, tying Nebraska for 6th place.( Michigan and Ohio State are 1-2)

Ryan Day was asked “ how good are the Buckeyes(5-0 after demolishing Nebraska)?  “ As Woody always said, if anybody calls you good kick ‘em in the Shins”!

Mike Leach, describing his Washington State team after its second loss (38-13 to Utah yesterday)
“ We're a very soft team,
We get a lot of good press. We like to read it a lot. We like to pat ourselves on the back, and if we get any resistance, we fold."
