drat Dirty Ape posted:The transitive property of college football just doesn't work. Penn State thoroughly dominated Maryland who played both UM and OSU tough. A few weeks ago I was thinking UM all the way but now I'm not so sure. But there is some truth to it even if it isn't true 100% of the time. But to your point, you could certainly make the argument that Penn State is much better now than when they lost to Michigan. I think Penn State is a legitimately very good team, whose main limitation is the inconsistency of Clifford. I think they are the best 2 loss team in college football.

Next game and bowl will be a preview of The Joe Milton Show next year, hopefully it looks a little better than the last time he was a starter. He’s been great in every game he’s played this year outside of South Carolina when he sailed some balls like he did last time he was a starter.

Awful to hear about Hooker. The he balled out the last 2 years here. I am not sold at all on Milton. He has looked like the greatest QB ever during garage time but looked not so hot during times when it matters. I am wish him a redemption arch but wishing doesn't do poo poo. We just better beat Vandy, because it we don't...

Feel awful about Hooker, especially since it was non-contact. If Milton is inaccurate was he was last night, Vandy has a chance.

Houston blew out East Carolina 42-3. In other words, looking good against inferior competition. Senior Day on Black Friday is against Tulsa. Looks like a 8-4 finish which looks good on paper but leaves zero confidence entering the Big 12.

Trojans defense is clownish except for forcing turnovers and UGA has been pretty turnovery the back half of the year. A shootout against USC is exactly the sort of thing that brings out "Stetson tries to do too much"

I think that offensive explosion was a one week aberration and Clemson is going to win by a couple scores at home. Looks like the line is 14.5. I hope in wrong because that would be absolutely hilarious.

harperdc posted:I, uh, wouldn’t look past South Carolina if I were Clemson. No Dobut. Can the Gamecocks do it a second time in two weeks on the road at noon? Maybe, but I think it's more likely the following week in the ACC championship that we get the second L. I said after the ND game this team wouldn't finish 13-1. Louisville looked like it had the makings to give us trouble especially if they could get up early. But Cunningham entered the stadium with a club on his non throwing hand, was ineffectual, and didn't make it to halftime. That was a gift. Miami was the only sure win left, they were hands down the worst team we have faced this year. Furman looked better. Weird things happen in rivalry games but SC expending all that emotional energy to beat Tenn might just be the best thing for us. We are on a seven game streak and we did blank them last year, so those are extra motivating factors, but on paper we win this without having to flex much. It's the UNC game that has me worried in Charlotte. Until last week Drake Maye had scored on everybody. I didn't like our chances in a shootout. But then GaTech of all people held them to 17? I feel like this may be a turnover game; who ever protects the ball the best wins. College Football is weird y'all.

I think Penn State is a legitimately very good team, whose main limitation is the inconsistency of Clifford. I think they are the best 2 loss team in college football. I think this is fairly accurate, it’s either them or LSU in my mind—Tennessee doesn’t have the defense to belong there and Bama doesn’t have the offense. Even if you watch back the Michigan game, receivers were open—it’s why I referenced Washington. When Michigan was playing man, the coverage wasn’t the reason that the offense wasn’t working, Clifford’s happy feet and bizarre processing was. He seems like a dude where he just cannot play 3 games in a row the same way. It feels like a game where more can go wrong for Ohio State and have them survive to me. If Michigan goes down 2 scores, they can’t pass their way back into the game. If Michigan is up 2 scores, Ohio State possibly can. The early run fits for both teams probably dictate the situation, but I just don’t see the margin there for Michigan with a starting QB that inconsistent right now. Funniest outcome here would be JSN comes back and repeats the Utah game, but I’m very interested how much both of these teams have held back for this. Knowles hasn’t really had to dial up anything crazy all year. Day’s notorious for sitting on plays until big games. Harbaugh loves his gadget and trick plays, and we really haven’t seen what the new DC does when pushed other than this past week when they went to man after a very very bad attempt at playing Quarters. Going to be the most intrigue on scheme we’ve had going in since like Urban year 1.

Other than that it's being 131st in points allowed, 128th in defensive yards allowed, 118th in turnover margin, and 125th in my strength of schedule. They had a bad year.
