Everyone has looked sloppy. To be fair Joe Mich State was pretty anemic until much of the OSU 3rd string was in the game. I do not believe OSU is championship caliber right now. Bama played without Young which is a big hit to their production. Stetson looked off the entire first half but was able to clean it up in the 2nd half. Michigan just seems to be doing just enough.

The 2nd half of the season should be interesting.

Bama needs Young back, he’s that much of a difference maker in my opinion. Dude is a leader that can beat you with his feet and sling the rock pretty accurately but it’s his persona and presence on the field. Bama is very beatable right now IMO.
The Buckeyes haven’t been challenged yet IMO. Opponents win/loss records speaks volumes. Can’t help that so chalk up another W and strive to play better and get healthy and improve.

IMO it is way to early to even talk championship. No one is showing total domination like championship team. Everyone is stumbling.

This comes back to what Ric always says about rankings: Shouldn't be any until week five or six. The way these teams look is a fine example as to why he is probably right.

Iowa was never in the game against Michigan. We beat the shit out of them and was a shutout until we played prevent defense in the 4th quarter to chew up clock. We struggled the first half yesterday after 1 of our coaches went down with seizures in front of everyone. Even then, Indiana's only 2 scores were bullshit penalty aided. 2nd half We allowed 27 yards, 0 points, and just bludgeoned them

Agreed, neither team will be tested till they play each other, IMO

We both have Penn St. The good thing is that James Franklin is still their coach. He's good for atleast 3 head scratching play calls every big game. But i expect that'll be a tougher game

Thanks for the update. I wasn't able to watch it. If you are just catching highlights you see Indiana still in the game in the third quarter. I believe "THE Game" will tell the fans a lot. Even so, I'm not sure it will tell anyone where the Buckeyes or Wolverines are in the big picture. It is almost as if you don't know until the Playoffs if you are truly a NC caliber team or not.

Ha. How about that. Justified considering they only held on by the skin of their teeth against an unranked A&M and it came down to a last second incomplete pass. Most seasons the rankings place a heavier emphasis on an actual L but I guess that was close enough for them. .

Better keep an eye on that Tennessee...

I'm a little tired of hearing about how elite Texas A&M's recruiting has been. They lost to App St and their backup QB has the throwing mechanics of a high school sophomore QB from Wellston Ohio. No offense to Wellston people, but seriously. That's the best you've got at QB?

Ugh. Fuck the vols

Yeah that's gonna be interesting if Bama can't get Bryce young back in the game. Hell the way bama has been playing its going to be a shitshow regardless win or lose. .

There are a handful of unbeaten teams out there. Not that it matters. I'd say some of the 1/2 loss teams are better than some of the undefeated teams. I haven't seen the Vols play in awhile. Certainly not this season. Anyone have a report on them? Are they solid or are they untested?

From what I’ve seen here and there and on highlights they are a pretty decent team and can and probably will beat Bama IF Young will not play. Turnovers and kicking game will probably be determining factors.

Ole TN has showed up with 15 years of the abuse stops now anger bubbling within. . Them boys came to win. Go tune in @hickslawns you're likely gonna get to see your wish. .

Today could be the day. Everything Bama does turns to shit.

Just sayin...

This is gonna be a shoot out!
