Oklahoma has looked shaky from the start lol.

Man I hope Texas has a good year, can't help but root for Charlie Strong. I'd imagine boosters will continue to salivate over Herman, especially if Houston pulls this off+Texas gets stomped by ND tonight.

Michigan looks good so far, MSU did their thing last night. The Big Ten will be very interesting this year...

I know it'll never happen for marketing reasons but man I wish they'd just scrap preseason rankings and wait 5 weeks before putting the first ones out

better yet, just scrap rankings tout court and have the selection committee be completely silent until conference championship week

Texas' QB looks legit for a true freshman. Would have had two quick TD passes if not for that whiff of a drop.

why is college football so huge in god's country? serious question
and more importantly, why do adults follow it? allegiance to their alma matters? good look at prospects (i guess a comparable would be the junior hockey leagues in Canada which also have a massive following)?

Why do people like any sport? Entertainment, competition, etc. I think there's often an extra factor with college sports in terms of feeling like a part of the university whether you attended or not. There are a lot of people here who didn't go to Michigan but grew up fans since their dad went there and was a fan. Or people who enjoy the way the sport dominates the city in terms of events, restaurants, parking, etc. It becomes a cultural thing depending on where you live. If you've been to Ann Arbor you know how U of M just dominates the city in various ways. People want to be a part of that. I'm sure it's the same in other cities that house major universities.

Then you add in the high school factor. A lot of people know kids who went to a local HS that is heavily recruited by college teams. So if you love your local sports scene you might also feel a connection to players who stayed in-state to play at such and such university. Especially in the south where HS football is huge.

Most colleges were built in cities/towns where nothing else was going on. Especially 100 years ago when they were first founded. So, the football team becomes the focal point for the community and has a reach that can go 100-200 miles around it. Generation after generation of people have passed along their fandom to their sons and daughters.

Also, college-level football really hits the sweet spot of entertainment/involvement. The play is good enough to respect it, but rough enough that you can see some real wild swings during games. Then you the chance of local players playing for your college or even people you might know. It's that local intimacy of high school football mixed with the high stakes/amazing play of the pros.

You didn't answer the question. Wake me when Peppers balls out against the small amount of good teams Michigan plays this year. He's good at a lot of things, but wasn't really great at anything last year on defense. Well he's a great tackler, I'll give him that.

Brehs...I know Fournette isn't playing but man LSU is trash. Miles fucked up by bringing Cameron back. This has to be the end of the line for him.

No excuse for him not to be competing for national championships every year with the amount of talent they're able to recruit.

I know it's cliche but this is spoken just like somebody who has never played ball. Just because you recruit well don't mean you will win shit. Ask Cooper who had bosses at Ohio State the whole time I was in college but never won shit.

Boosters need to get Scam Scameron the fuck up outta there. And tell Les he's not allowed to have anything to do with the offense or clock management. basically they need a co-head coach. if not in name then at least in practice.

I still don't think they should get rid of Les. Fuck around and end up like Tennessee and Nebraska outchea

Recruiting alone won't win games, but combined with good coaching you can win at an elite level.

I think this is less likely to happen just because LSU just has such a good talent base in Louisiana. Nebraska and Tennessee are pretty barren when it comes to talent, and need to compete harder with other schools to recruit out of state players.

Tomorrow is gonna be an epic day of football brehs. Picks?

1 Alabama (2-0) 19 Mississippi (1-1) 3:30 EST CBS
2 Florida State (2-0) 10 Louisville (2-0) 12:00 EST ABC
3 Ohio State (2-0) 14 Oklahoma (1-1) 7:30 EST FOX

I'd expect Bama to roll and FSU to beat Louisville and make Lamar Jackson look human for once.

But you know what pisses me off? It's week 3 and people are already trying to get Oklahoma back into the playoff discussion. "Well if they beat OSU they'll be back on target."

these fuck boys are overrated nearly every season. Same with Notre Dame.
