I have to laugh at some of the local commentary here in Columbus after Ohio State’s trouncing of Purdue. I guess that hadn’t noticed how bad Purdue has been this year.

I think we're finally going to have a non-QB Heisman winner.

Is Georgia Tech on target to be Florida State champions this year?

Unfortunately, outside of the top 4 in B1G, there are a lot of meh teams. From a best matchup standpoint, we would need Music City or Mayo Bowl (or lower). It almost feels like the team would need to go 1-2 down stretch to play in those games. So definitely a two-edged sword. But with opt outs, these bowl games have become crap shoots, so I say any bowl game in warm weather location is good to me.
They are amazingly sweet dogs.

Iowa is not in a great spot right now (LvilleILL1)

Yep. Scrolled through the GameDay replay on the ESPN app to find this as one of our two cats (who we’ve had since they were six weeks old) is nestled up with me on the couch. I wanted to also see the lead-in. Man, Kirk Herbstreit loved that dog. Couldn’t help but have a few tears watching that.
Whenever Ben was on a telecast I was watching, I smiled. We could do a lot worse than that in terms of leaving a good legacy.
Man, VT might be the most disappointing P4 team in terms of execution this year... they've got the talent but lack of execution keeps costing them.
Coaching decisions are a problem. I think they should a graphic he hasn't won a 1 score game yet in 4 years.
As long as he's the man, they'll never win a close game, especially one vs a ranked team, this one included.

So many mixed feelings
on Indiana and Michigan right now
C’mon, Chromium Rodents, don’t allow New Jersey to get delusions of adequacy.
This could mean Illinois is better than Indiana /s
KU - I mean, it was about time...
Muck Fichigan. Great to see their downward spiral
Ugh as much as I hate Michigan I would’ve loved to see IU go down. That timeout call on second down after letting 28 seconds tick off was one of the worst I’ve ever seen.
The Loosiers got soooo lucky! How do we lose, even when we don't play? Fun stat near the end of the game...scUMs last unranked top 10 win was 61 years ago, to the day. Take a wild guess who it was?
Ole Miss fans are insane
On the plus side, Michigan might not make a bowl game this year.
They'll beat NW....
More importantly, we better beat NW at the Wrigley.
there is really no explanation for that other than them knowing what defense we were running . it doesn’t make any sense otherwise
Kansas was due. Had a feeling about that one. They’re much better than their record would indicate and it was a solid win for the illini early on. Good sign that illini can possibly win out.
Colorado doing much better than I thought. Seems like shurmur as OC has made a big difference. Deon I’ll bet has been a little more ‘hands off’ as far as actual game plans.
Then Michigan… looks like 6-6, but NW might be able to pull it off and make them 5-7. Never know with those crazy cats. Think that’s enough to fire Moore after one season? In my opinion they might as well not drag it on, because he is not the guy.
