    I'll take OU, because, as a notorious twit used to proclaim, OSU looked slow!

    The ND/GA game will supposedly be decided by who can better establish the run, since the GA starting QB has been ruled out, and the ND QB is making his second start.

    The GA freshman QB is a baller. The biggest problem is if he throws interceptions. GA may have the best RB duo in the NCAA this year.

    But I do love you are quoting Topper. lol

    Some great games yetsreday. I was catching bits and pieces, since I was at an amazing music event. But is don't think my Crimson Tide wins it all this year.

    Early season prediction: OK and Clemson play for the natty. Clemson wins. That is a brick wall of a defense.

    Well we’ll know be into conference play. From what I’ve seen unless OSU improves dramatically they won’t be in the mix. They certainly have the talent but as long as Urban continues to call stale, predictable plays than OSU schedule is just too tough to keep from losing another game. With Nebraska, MSU, Mich and PSU to play and Maryland, ILL, and Iowa looking like they could rear their ugly heads and have a good day OSU is probably going to lose at least one or two more games Unless OSU improves significantly and their play calling improves.

    Oklahoma needs to go undefeated and pray OSU improves. If OK goes undefeated and OSU wins the Big 10 east then the are in. Bama and Clemson are automatically in if they win their conference. Bama is in if they win the SEC even with a loss.

    If PSU or Mich go undefeated and win the Big 10 they are in complements of having the toughest schedules.

    But if Bama, Clemson, OK, USC, PSU or Mich were to go undefeated who would be selected for the playoffs?

    Bama and Clemson would be 1&2 and undefeated Big 10 east team would be 3. That leaves OK and USC. My guess is USC gets #4 due to stronger non conference schedule and winning conference championship game.

    That being said It’s very unlikely to have four undefeated teams at the end of the season so if OK does go undefeated they are probably in.

    USC has not looked as strong to me. I think OK is the 4th team.

    The SEC really has nothing else to offer except Bama. Now if GA keeps up the performance it put on against MS State, they could be. But that remains to be seen.

    yup...a lot of football to be played yet. The Big ten east will be very interesting. MSU looks improved and you can’t look past Maryland after the beat Texas. Obviously Texas doesn’t look great but they’re still Texas.

    Today is the Third Saturday in October. The day the Crimson Tide traditionally plays the TN Volunteers.

    Trivia tidbit for you all. There have never been pics or videos of a Vols victory over the Crimson Tide recorded on an iPhone.
