With that caveat that I'm not a Clemson fan (I am a Georgia fan), I still think even after what I saw yesterday that Clemson has a good shot at running the table in the ACC (in the regular season, the best shot at this not being the case is probably the NC State game), and it wouldn't surprise me if the offense looked much better in the process and you saw DJ U throw for 3000+ yards in the end.

However, even if this is indeed the case, DJ U has a few months to figure out how to handle pressure better, because it was blatantly obvious even in their spring game that he has serious problems vs pressure.

Hopefully, when Georgia gets healthier on offense, they'll be a different team on offense. After sleeping on it, I didn't realize just how hurt they were on offense, and it got worse in game (at least one starting offensive lineman was lost in game and one of the best receivers available went out of the game in the third and didn't return). The longest pass completion was by a guy that was a former walk on...that is where things were at.
 
Random thought of the night considering something that I saw on another board:

Can't say that I'm all that excited about the Falcons season at all. Arthur Smith might be a better coach than Dan Quinn, but all in all, I just feel...bah humbug here.

Gonna quote myself after some more information...

Yeah...this is going to be wrong. Clemson most definitely is not Clemson this year. Could still put up a good win total, but considering what I see from mostly afar, they are definitely in danger of dropping another game this year.

Georgia looks good to me despite that tho. Certainly not perfect however.

They are going to lose at least 2, if not 3-4 more this year if things do not change. Georgia looks like the real deal. Maybe they can win it all this year.

NC State (I actually singled them out as a possibility to upset Clemson a couple weeks ago), Boston College, and Wake Forest might be decent but I think this is lending too much credibility to the ACC.

As for the issues so far...and I'm sure there may be more than these two...DJ U hasn't been living up to the hype and the receiving room isn't as dynamic as it has been. I'll throw in a third one actually...the offensive coordinator seems to have grown stale just based off what I've read.
 
The Baltimore Ravens just babysat KC Chief's scorpions. Ravens win 36-35. Chiefs could easily be 0-2 right now.
 
This was coming: College Football as we know it is destabilizing.

After three games from the start of the season we already have the two of the original powerhouses lose, two came close this past week. Oregon and Penn State look very productive and the king of College Football is reeling. I believe it’s because of the transfer portal and the ability to not sit a year after transfer.

Everyone wants to be first and play as a starter. No one wants to be a team player anymore. Who can blame them? With NIL kicking off this year and players wanting more playing time it means a disbursement of talent across the field. No one team will have all the talent anymore.

Simply put, with the extra year of eligibility for seniors and essentially having two classes of freshman. Talent is evenly spread out. This is good news for schools not typically a powerhouse and conferences. The SunBelt and American Athletic even Fresno State, teams that we never hear about pulling upsets. BYU could run the table now and go undefeated.

If you are into betting I would avoid college football this year. Unless we actually get a more stabilized product.

Is that a bad thing?
 
Sam Darnold will win superbowl MVP this year. You heard it here first folks.

Having Derrick Henry this week in both my leagues worked out well. Was a weird week scoring wise though lots of qbs layer an egg

Yeah the 1pm slate was a big oof on scoring. I bailed on the dfs lineup builder that my friend uses bc I thought the lineups were trash. He is $250 richer today I am not
 
I would like to see the statistics on all pro games where the offense has the ball with 4 minutes or less to go in the game, with an untied score that is within 2 points of the opposing team [meaning a field goal from either team wins the game (or the prevention of a field goal from by the leading team wins the game)]. I'd like to know what percentage of the time the offense described above wins the game. My guess is that it is pretty high. I might be wrong, but my guess is that it's at least 60%, if not higher.
 
I probably shouldn't speak again about them after last year but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of this being another 2010 for Alabama.

The talent is there to win it all, as per usual, but the focus doesn't seem to be there, at least for now.

That Ole Miss game should be fun in two weeks. They may have lost last year but Corral put on an absolute show in the game.
 
Is 2021 Vanderbilt the worst SEC football team we've seen since 1999 South Carolina (who went 0-11)? Or maybe even worse?

This is the most confident I've been about Georgia since 2017, but with all due respect, you're really going to start learning more about this team in the next couple weeks.

This game is like that Bishop Sycamore game that I remember hearing about in August, except it's in college.

Next week's game will be really big if Arkansas holds on against Texas A&M today.
Edit:
That game should be top 10 matchup now.
