    To me it was, but not sure how strong Stanford is at the moment.:)

    And Stanford has a legitimate shot to go 0-12. Gave away one of the most winnable games on the schedule. Disastrous QB play, very shaky coaching.

    Now that a handful of games have been played. Week 1 games will be in full swing this week. Undoubtedly he game between Texas and Ohio State on Saturday, will be one of the key contests. Arch Manning will be a top attraction to watch for many fans. How our defense handles the challenge will be interesting to observe as well. The Shoe will be rocking come noon Saturday!o_O

    No doubt THE game of the day will be Texas v Ohio State. The coming out party for Arch Manning. I'm sure other QB's have been hyped like Arch, but I can't really think of one right now.

    Even Bryce Underwood, the 10M dollar QB at Michigan has less pressure on him, of course he gets to start against New Mexico at home so not likely to be able to play poorly enough to lose that game.

    LSU/Clemson should be a great game, both have very good QB's who have a lot of experience and both are expected to be NFL draft picks. It's sort of a must win game for Kelly though as he's not won a opener yet at LSU.

    Hi Gents! Hope everyone is well! I’ll try my best to check this more this season. I just wanted to say that I watched the Lee Corso documentary on espn unlimited which is now free to all spectrum subscribers. Had me teary eyed several times. It’s undervalued how much Lee has done for college football especially from the media standpoint. Anyways I just wanted to recommend this doc to all of you! The season starts for the big boys this weekend!

    One thing for sure though is that losing this weekend doesn't eliminate you from the CFP, which is a good thing IMHO. Early season losses have been tough to overcome for teams in the past. But with 12 teams now it's not the end of the hopes. Don't even have to win your conference championship.

    Good to hear from you Kid, looking forward to your insight on the Texas/Ohio State game.

    Definitely! I’ll be finishing my week 1 preview this evening and will post it. Can’t wait to be on the sidelines Saturday for the big game! I think Julian Sayin will really have a breakout performance

    I think there’s equal pressure on both teams in this game
