Second week, still kinda lame.
Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia. Why they keep letting Georgia play when they never end up doing anything? Stop ranking them so high already. Anyone else wanna play ball or we just gonna let those guys have all the fun? Michigan needed 2 OT's to beat Army. Fucking Army.
Notre Dame is sometimes interesting but they gotta play someone first.
I wanna see Texas do something but ya know.
Fuck Oklahomo.

Yeah, that's not good for Michigan to need double OT to beat Army. Either that or Army is better than usual.

Army does sometimes field a real team. Possible they're not terrible this year.

Nebraska is the same team they were 3 years ago. Contender to win the Big10? Fucking ridiculous.

Army has managed to make the triple option viable for many many years. I was sad to see them go out with that fumble. However, great programs seem to be increasingly susceptible more and more these days. It seems like it's been trending since Appalachian State beat Michigan in 07. Plus, Harbaugh is getting further into the Bust' column every year.

Clemson looked good. OSU also looked good. I will also be interested in seeing what Texas does.

As of now, nothing. Twice inside the five and couldn't score a single point.

Army has an interesting game plan this year.
There are 120 Division I schools and Army has the fifth (!!!) biggest offensive line in Division I.
This is by design, they are the only Div I school still running the triple option run offense (Ga Tech abandoned it last year, leaving only Army).
Having a monster, talented O-line with a triple option offense gives you a unique way to win games: you grind out long drives and chew up the clock, keeping the other teams' offense off the field and wearing down the other teams defensive line over time. The opposing teams gets fewer possessions, which keeps the game scores low. This keeps Army competitive.

Don't rank any teams until after the 5th game.

Oh yeah, fuck Oklahoma

I concur on both.

Remember you don't go to West Point just to play football like other schools.
Michigan has a long road to go yet and schools that are better at their game.

I don't know if "blown defensive secondary assignments" are a trackable statistic, but Tennessee looked mightily confused on defense in both games, missed assignments, uncovered receivers, everything.

Going to be a long year is Rocky Flop. The only thing remotely positive for the Vols is that Kentucky AND South Carolina both lost their starting quarterbacks for the season this past weekend. SEC East as a whole looks very weak outside of eventual National Champions UGA (I think Florida will implode, probably later in the season. Felipe Franks has talent but no football smarts)

Man, I tuned into the Ohio State game cuz I hadn't seen Fields play much. It's a good argument for a mercy rule.

Curious to see how Notre Dame does tonight cuz as I have previously stated, Georgia needs to go. They got no business in the top 5.

Texas will get a win.

Wisconsin might be legit.
