College Football -- Better Than Ever

[Drake Tungsten]

Rich Rod is a much better coach than Charlie Weis and a somewhat better coach than Jim Tressel.

Ouch...

SportsCenter postgame, the anchor says, "Ohio State has now lost five straight... excuse me, six straight against top five teams."

I don't know what it is with Professor McSweaterVest, but he just can't get over the hump.

Damning with faint praise.

and a somewhat better coach than Jim Tressel.

Remains to be seen, but I'm hopeful. As much as I ragged on RR's playcalling earlier in the thread, he did show some stones a few times on 4th down today.

[Imran Siddiqui]

But it looks like Forcier might be a keeper.

And after tonight's game, you HAVE to be happy that UM lost out on Pryor. Forcier has ice water in his veins.

I really hate how Tressel coaches. The man has no balls.

Dude, he's played in two games, one against a patsy, and one against a perennially overrated squad that has no defense and is coached by a buffoon who looks like Jabba the Hutt.

I don't HAVE to happy about anything, yet. But I am optimistic, hopeful, encouraged, and intrigued.

Imran, also note that this game was at home. It remains to be seen how he'll respond in a hostile environment; for Michigan, every road game brings out the best in opposing fans, and they have one genuine frightening road game at a hated rival (MSU), a roadie at an above-average stadium (Iowa), and a roadie at an absolute nightmare (Wisconsin). We'll see how much ice water he has in his veins then.

And Pryor looks like a deer in the headlights most of the times I've seen him play. He's got crappy decision making behind center. And can't deal with pressure.

Hmm, looks like my early predictions are looking good, to wit:

-Michigan having a better than expected year = Michigan beats ND
-OK St is overrated = OK St loses to UH
-OSU is overrated = OSU loses at home to USC
-Florida, Texas are best two teams in the nation = Florida, Texas are best two in nation

Hmmmmm...........

[SlowwHand]

I want to see Texas play a Big 12 team. I think they're strong, but I'm not creaming my jeans over their win like Imran is over Florida's.

[David Floyd]

Considering that UT's only Big 12 competition has been upset by inferior (on paper) teams - BYU vs OU and UH vs OKST - I can't say I'm that worried about the Big 12.

[SlowwHand]

My point is that Big 12 will test them as well as any team in any other conference.
I also want to see what Texas Tech has to offer. They have losses, like QB, but Coach is a wildman.

[snoopy369]

Odds are Florida will test them better, in a few months

[Imran Siddiqui]

Only if Texas gets through unscathed. If not, USC is right there (depending on if they avoid their seemingly annual look past a Pac 10 team game).

Though the interesting thing is what if Texas and USC have 1 loss each and, say, Cincinnati or Georgia Tech is undefeated (assuming Florida is undefeated as well or has one loss but is ranked #1 because of the SEC boost)?

I love you, San Jose State.
