At currently 1-1 Utah that lost to 1-1 Florida.

They don't even play Oregon this year.

Caleb Williams will win the Heisman. Lincoln Riley will win Coach of The Year. The media will swoon.

USC will fall apart in the playoffs when they have to play a decent team. This is Riley's signature way.

I disagree but it’s crazy how bad the PAC is.

But Notre Dame was a top 5 team going into the season

That counts

Caleb may win the Heisman, but it will be b/c he deserves it. The offense can go head to head with any team in the country.

USC's defense will lose them a game or two this year at the least b/c they are simply not good. Most of the media is recognizing this; Herbstreit said as much late in the broadcast last night.

They may reach the playoffs depending upon the aforementioned defense, but certainly will not be able to hang with Georgia or the like.

But it is week 2, and who knows what the final rankings of teams will be.

As a former OU coach, Riley should be used to that

It’s the reason he left OU. The bankroll sweetened his departure. He wanted no part of the SEC.

He will flop in the playoff just like Jimbo will go 8-4. It’s their way.

I agree with pretty much everything you say. The defense is a big liability. That being said, after years of irrelevancy and a 4-8 year last year, the fact that there is even talk of a Heisman or playoffs is something to be excited about.

Sounds like Ohio State’s schedule most years.

Not as bad as the Big Ten West is.

So they might play an additional 2 ranked teams if they were in the B1G West?

They play Fresno St this week. They have a better chance for an upset than half of their conference games.

This is a pretty bad take coming from a Georgia fan

Ohio State has had home and homes with basically everyone across the board. Maybe the strongest set there is for decades.

Georgia wont leave Atlanta

Bad take. Maybe look at their schedule the last ten years the Big 10 has been a one team league.

OSU has played Oregon, Oregon State, TCU, Oklahoma x 2, VT x 2, California x 2

UGA has played Oregon, Clemson x 3, ND x2, UNC, and GT x 9 with OU x2, Clemson x3, UCLA x2, FSU x2, Louisville, Texas x2, and OSU on the future schedules but yeah, OSU plays a much tougher schedule. Gtfoh.

Talk about a bad take. We’ve traveled to South Bend, Clemson, OSU, ASU, Boulder, Charlotte among other places.

So they are exactly what Riley was at Oklahoma.

They couldn't stop Stanford all day.

But for Stanford turning the ball over 4 times in the redzone, Stanford wins that game.

USC will continue Lincoln Riley’s tradition of looking great in the regular season, only to get blown out in the playoffs. He brought it with him when he left OU

Notre Dame was preseason #5 to hype the OSU game.

Prove me wrong.

Losing to Marshall at home proves me right.

ND is habitually overrated. Always has been. Always will be.

Cupcake schedule.

NBC, how’s it feeling?

USC's offense is on fire. They'll probably win the PAC. Only the Magic 8-ball knows if they will make the playoffs.

Do you have a crystal ball?

How do you know who will be ranked on their schedule at the end of the year? Because that's the only ranking that matters.
