    Sorry to hear AJ , hope he recovers 100% and is back next year.

    TJ has a great opportunity now to grow and see what he can do as QB1.

    I am surprised he has a broken femur, that's a big bone, and they showed him on the sidelines last night supposedly testing his "twisted ' ankle.

    Terry... I saw some Vandy folks saying that at the end of the game the fans were chanting "overrated!"...
    If so... seem they failed to see the irony of the pre season #1 doing that to a team that is in the midst of what could be their best season ever... Did you hear that?

    Dumbest chant ever when your team has played a great game and beat a good team...and yes, I've heard it at Purdue games.

    I couldn't hear that on the TV Broadcast, but as Stu said it's a dumb cheer. It seems more common at Basketball games though.

    Wisconsin’s football team is not good, but when it comes to in stadium liquor sales, no school can compete with the Badgers.

    Wisconsin's revenue is 50% higher than second place. Impressive.
    Nice to see Ball State in the top 20 in at least NCAAF one category.

    The Committee has spoken.

    !. Ohio State
    2. Indiana
    3. A&Mf
    4. Alabama
    5. Georgia
    6. Ole Miss
    7. BYU
    8. Texas Tech
    9. Oregon
    10. Notre Dame
    11. Texas
    12. Oaklahoma

    Longhorns knocked out by Virgina as ACC Champion and OU by Memphis as the highest ranked Group of 5.. They need to get rid of the rule where the highest ranked Group of 5 team is invited.

    A lot of talk this week about how could the committee rank ND ahead of Miami, both with 2 losses and Miami wins the head to head. Well they put Miami down at #18 so that's the answer.

    Of course a lot will change as we finish out the season. Texas for instance has games vs Georgia and Texas A&M, win both and they are in for sure, of course that's a big ask of this Longhorn squad.

    I'll be interested in their strength of schedule rankings. They did say the Buckeyes are #33 and Oregon was #40. I don't know about the rest of the top 12 teams.

    Reese Davis who I never figured as a ND lover, said if you go by eye test that the Irish are top 5. Not sure even I see that right now. I think top 10 is where we belong right now.

    Do you think strength of schedule will matter?
