    Oh yeah, Miami gets to bring out the turnover chain! Canes are just dominating Louisville.
    Their FG kicker is terrific.

    How about Navy, down 24 - 0, after the embarrassing beat down by BYU.... but they run off 27 straight points and get the win over Tulane.

    Louisville keeps working their butts off to get a TD and within one score. Then Miami comes back with 2 TD's in the third quarter with one play. Miami has 2 plays in the 3rd quarter and 2 long TD's.

    The Canes look really good, explosive on offense and fast and mean on defense. Maybe Manny Diaz has something going right now.

    They're playing a weak Louisville team.

    I see that Tate Martell has opted out of the season at Miami. He transferred from Ohio State after Justin Fields transferred in from Georgia. He didn't win the starting job at Miami either. He was highly recruited as a QB in the class of 2017.

    A lot of hype for Martell coming from Bishop Gorman High School. He just never panned out anywhere.

    Bit of trivia, Clemson shutting out The Citadel yesterday was their first shutout since Dec 31st 2016... That was a bit surprising given how good they have been especially on defense and that they have several cream puffs every
    year in non conference.

    Don knows this one! :p

    I wonder if the polls will put Big 10 teams back in the rankings now that they are going to play or will they wait until they actually play?

    Coaches poll did include Big 10 teams, and interestingly put Ohio State at #10.

    Not sure why, they were #2. Like all the SEC teams they haven't played any games yet, but SEC teams rankings haven't been impacted.

    I imagine that they will move up quickly once they start playing

    Yeah just go back a count all of the ranked teams they played last year in the regular.season. We all play cream puffs but we all dont play only cream puffs. Ill bet they are not happy that they have to play Notre Dame. We'll see about Miami?
