They love that SEC teat. It's sickening. Washington should be 4 until they lose. They're not OSU or Bama last year or the year before, but undefeated is still undefeated.

You can't really argue with what Jackson is doing. That game against FSU and Clemson more than likely won him the trophy. Browning and everyone else is just playing catch up at this point.

See, I really dislike the love of undefeated in college football, because it rewards shittiness. The thing is, I don't see what A&M has done well. Arkansas is arguably better than any of Washington or Michigan's wins, but its not like they beat Alabama or even LSU.

It's not rewarding shittiness. It's giving them their due. It's almost impossible to go undefeated in CFB these days. Alabama has looked the most complete team but against a team that can score, it'll probably get blown out. They also play weak teams as well, but no one complains about their SOS because it's in the SEC. Michigan hasn't played anyone except Penn State and Wisconsin.

Well at least FSU will be given their due when we crush Florida.

I've forgotten what it's like to have 3 losses mid season so I guess getting dropped to the 20s is what we had coming. But oh holy hell there will be hell to pay come end of season when we stomp the gators again.

The Vikings need to find an O-Line.

When you lose 3 of your starters on your Oline you're going to have a bad time finding replacements let alone getting anyone in for when guys get tired. there literaly isn't a backup for right tackle at this point and the right tackle we do have is on track to be the worst rated tackle ever. Norv deserves the best of respect for being a QB whisperer and I hope his next job is as a head coach.

You just can't find too many Olinemen that can handle the pass rushers in the NFL today. You have to be an incredibly smart guy in a select height frame and be able to put on 350-400 pounds. No other sport needs or wants that type of player.

He inherited a 14-2 team with Rivers/Tomlinson and a great defense. Then he went 11-5, 8-8, 13-3, 9-7. Not a terrible tenure, but he was basically handed a team that was Super Bowl or bust like when Gruden took over the Bucs. He didn't make the Super Bowl.

i think jamaal charles is done in KC with how well spencer ware is doing.

speaking of Ware he's apparently in the concussion protocol and might not play this weekend. Smith is already out at QB and Foles is getting the start

i got the chiefs in my survivor this week regardless of who's starting. the jaguars are a hot mess right now after firing greg olson and the tony khan incident.

edit: lets see if al michaels and cris collinsworth make tnf more bearable.

hard to disagree. I think the Jags' first half last week was probably the worst half of NFL football I've ever watched

Shelly, who you got for the OSU vs Neb game?

if both teams played like last week Nebraska should win. OSU's offense has been pretty underwhelming

watch out though. Buckeyes are going for that throwback magic. They're wearing 1916 throwbacks this weekend to celebrate their first B1G title/undefeated season

Too bad neither will come true. Michigan has the inside track to the title game and I'm sure Neb will hand them their second to last loss of the season. Nebraska by 14. 2 INTs and 1 fumble recovery.

And I hope Nebraska doesn't play like last weekend. They were horrible. Play calling was atrocious and those two INTs aren't going to work against OSU. I need TA to be on point and for them to feed Newby more. He's the best overall back in the bunch. Westerkamp is going to perform and Carter should be back, so that will give us an edge. If we had him, we would have beat Wisconsin, I'm sure of it.

Well I appreciate how bold you are. I predict my own team to lose every week. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We're going on the road to North Carolina as 10 point dogs in a matchup of 2 solid offenses and our shit defense. so we'll probably lose like 45-35 or so

At least the Redskins are on bye so I don't have to get doubled up on losses or even suffer another tie
