So Georgia loses to a 2-3 team with a 3rd string QB and only drops to 10th. Thats why people rightfully bitch about SEC bias. If thats OSU or any Big 10 team, no way in hell do they stay inside the top 15,, let alone top 10

Oh BS. Happened all the time to OSU. Not saying its right but it has happened numerous times.

Love my Buckeyes, but which school got torched by LSU and FL because our secondary sucked? Great stats, but it doesn't tell the whole story. I'd take 0's in all those columns to have 2006 and 2007 be W's and not giant, embarrassing L's.
I don’t disagree and that’s why this is in this thread. Stats don’t always tell the story.

Draft numbers are a worthless stat anyway. Has no bearing on a team's performance. The same as the preseason strength of schedule rankings. The only one that is an honest comparison is the post season SOS ranking. Even then its not indicative of a team's ability. Better team's have a lower SOS because they're at the top, a really shitty team playing mediocre teams has a harder SOS.

Illinois takes down Wisconsin! Wow! WI possessed the ball 41 min versus 19min for IL. Three turnovers for WI. IL made those turnovers count. Good job Coach Lovie Smith. Best beard in college football along with a big win today.

Hate to say anything positive about the team up north. I'll just say I hope Penn State loses tonight.

#15 Texas about to lose to a 3-3 TCU.

Correction on OK. They were #5. Not #6.

I've seen bits and pieces of LSU/Auburn. Seems like LSU has had no issues putting yards up. Last I saw they had over 400yds. I think that was late 3rd quarter or early 4th. Haven't seen enough of the game to know what's up. Red zone scoring is clearly an issue.

Lots of questions here.

Minnesota stomped nobody Maryland. They remain undefeated AND untested.

Appalachian State remains undefeated if I'm not mistaken. Not a concern.

Alabama is stomping the Arkansas Precious Angels. Not a surprise. Still not tested.

Penn State Keeps squeaking by teams. Today they won easily over unranked Michigan St.

U of M is stomping ND. Doesn't say much for ND. (Sorry Dustin.)

SMU is undefeated. ..which means nothing.

Buckeyes had . . . A bit of a test. . . Against Wisconsin today. WI is pretty solid in my eyes, but not a top 10 team. I don't know if PSU will give OSU a challenge. Honestly, UM might be their only test before play offs. They seem to be improving.

Clemson. . .undefeated. Not sure how? They do not look top 4 in my eyes.

Basically, there are very few teams who have not shown vulnerabilities. Those who remain undefeated are either nobody schools who have played nobody, have not really been tested, or just keep squeaking by (Clemson). Not sure where this leaves the Play Offs? Some schools are going to be left out and it could be argued both ways whether justified or not.

The dude is funny but for whatever reason this one was just ok, kinda like SEC okay, like SC playing at a neutral site or AUB playing out on the west coast.
I will checkout his past clips for this year as I kinda forgot about him. Lol
