USC.... What are you doing.

Can we start to talk about Alabama not being a playoff caliber team? Blasphemy, I know.

Sidenote, while I love that Vanderbilt is winning conference games, I hope they add a loss to Ball State to their loss to Georgia State so people don't start acting like Vanderbilt is a top 25 team.

How dare you talk about an SEC not being a top 25 team!

I'm legitimately concerned this kind of scenario might play out. Voters really struggle with separating the jersey from the team.

Man, Georgia’s D is fun to watch. If Beck was better they would be scary.

Georgia’s defense looks like an NFL defense, this is what I think Oregon’s defense will eventually look like with Lanning at the helm.

Glad I didn't fall for they Hype that WAS Michigan this year!

which is why a 12 team playoff is just stupid. why can teams compete for a title if they can't even win their conference?

Carson Beck is fine in my opinion. He just gets rattled easily at the start of games for some reason.

Do you use this thought process for professional sports as well, or just college?
