Quote from: airboy on October 01, 2017, 10:47:18 AMFSU is really weak.  Michigan beat them.

FSU has lost to 'Bama and NC St.  Haven't played Michigan in the regular season since the 90s.

Pats defense continues to make every QB it faces look like the second coming of Dan Marino.

Not true!  Drew Brees looked like the second coming of Todd Blackledge...

Lol. Good point.

DeShaun Watson is the real deal.  Let's see how he does against the rest of the league once these coaches start getting tape on him.

Some hilarity from The Ringer, talking about the Rams

QuoteThis reflects most hilariously on Jeff Fisher, the phenomenally uninspiring coach who helmed the Rams from 2012 to 2016. (Actually, it is pretty inspiring that he kept NFL head coach jobs for so long despite being Jeff Fisher.) Fisher developed a reputation for mediocrity and milquetoast offenses, but swore 2016 would be the end of "7-9 bullshit." Sure enough, his team started 4-9, he got fired, and as soon as the rest of Fisher's staff disappeared, the Rams became competent. L.A. is currently being coached by Sean McVay, a teenager who has spent most of the season convincing the team's older players to buy him vodka. And he's made the team miles more effective. Every time the Rams put up points like this and win should make Fisher's future employment seven to nine times more unlikely.

Favorite college stat so far?

QuoteStanford's Bryce Love has out-rushed 120 FBS teams by himself.

Love's 1,088 rushing yards in five games would rank No. 21 as a team (Stanford ranks No. 8). His 217.6 yards per game on the ground would rank No. 30. Love also has seven runs of at least 50 yards. Only Notre Dame has as many as a team, and the next closest is Tulsa with five.

Moo U. is ranked in the top 25.  If they had not blown up on three plays (2 turnovers and a kick return) against a weak South Carolina squad, they would probably be in the top 12 or so.

Yep. Beat Louisville tho and it's top 15 until they lose to Clemson and at least 1 game they shouldn't
