Even though I'm a Cal homer, I will reserve judgement on Cal until the Oregon game.

Wow, what's happening to the front-line Fla. ACC teams?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

Not sure, but isn't it great?
As I said before, I can't believe FSU was still ranked in the first place. Anyone with a pair of functioning eyes could tell from the FSU-Miami game that both teams left much to be desired."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

It's just like NC State to go out and beat our ACC frontrunners, and then lose to somebody like Akron, UNC, UVA, or Maryland.
Guynemer, I disagree. I thought both defenses looked pretty good in that FSU-UM game (UM did NOT look good against Louisville though, obviously). Both of those teams are still better than places like Rutgers, Mizzou and probably Texas Tech, who are in the polls.Comment

I agree that I thought the defenses of Miami and FSU looked really good. But subsequent games seem to indicate that it was just crappy offense.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

. Remember last year it was a low scoring affair and people were trumpeting up the defenses, but in later games last season they gave up so many points, that that analysis was shown to be faulty.

Well, I watched the game and I saw very good defenses. They both have very good speed. In short, it looked like UM and FSU had both scouted each other better than usual, but the coaching staffs have fallen asleep at the wheel since then.
Regardless, the ACC has been a graveyard for football. The Bowl games were terrible last year. The recruiting classes have actually been among the best in the land, but I think there's a lot of bad coaching in the league right now.Comment

pchang, are you an NC State fan? I don't think anybody but them really knew that they changed their QB. =)
That Evans guy is actually looking pretty good. I bet they'll still find a way to lose to teams that are far worse than FSU, though.Comment

Cal all the way
I'm a Cal alum. However, when I see a 1-2 team suddenly go undefeated in the ACC, I get a little interested.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

Good point. The antithesis of the QB-changing theory has been demonstrated just down the road at Chapel Hill, though. We traded one interception-prone QB from Nebraska (via transfer) for an int-prone freshman. Neither QB has been allowed to throw for more than 10 yards, which is either a bad thing, or a good thing that's actually a bad thing because of interceptions. The wuffpack's success just makes me that much more angry with our coaching staff.Comment

Thanks for taking Dailey, btw. I hope the Wolfpack are just as successful with Beck...

Drake, when I saw Dailey running, and how fast he is, I thought he'd be an excellent QB for the Tar Heels. Unfortunately, I think the dude's color-blind or something. Too many throws to the wrong team.
I should also mention that despite my previous comments, I do not disagree with Rutgers being ranked. They're a very good team, which I witnessed first hand when they beat Carolina. Missouri, I haven't seen, but I am just willing to bet that both Miami and FSU are better than them.Comment

He makes a lot of bad decisions, which is what ended his career at Nebraska. He's got the physical tools, but just can't seem to master the defense-reading and decision-making skills needed to be a starting QB for a D-I program. It's a shame, really, as he's a hard-worker and a good kid.KH FOR OWNER!
