Kansas just can't stop the run at all. They're badly outmatched in the trenches. TD OU

Honestly, that was not a hold on OU. That was just a pancake mauling.

Kansas has blown it. Gives up a TD and then fumbles away the kickoff return. Really sucks for them that hour long break basically allowed OU a complete reset.

It's beyond obvious y'all need a change at QB. I can't be convinced that this guy is the best option y'all have on the roster.

The inability to stretch the field is all over these stats. If you can't effectively throw over 20 yards then you're basically left with a Teddy Bridgewater ceiling. I hope the play caller change will help.

In terms of win/loss, probably not. In terms of being able to compete, absolutely. Y'all don't have a passing game. Like at all.

I didn't realize that Cam Rising was out for the year. That definitely takes some shine off of Oregon/Utah.

TD FSU

Yep. FSU in the redzone. This is officially over.

Wake really screwed the pooch not coming into this game committed to the run. They tried to go pass heavy early on and were wholly ineffective at it. Now they've dug themselves into a hole that forces them to be pass heavy and they're gonna get blown out for it. I bet FSU scores again before half. Wake fans chanting for the backup QB but you can't do that to the kid. If you wanna make that change wait until next week. You can't throw a guy out there against the #4 team in the country unprepared to start in a must throw situation on the scoreboard. If you do that, you gotta wave the white towel and just run your offense like you would if the game was competitive. I don't know anything about their backup but it's a move they should consider moving forward. This starter is NOT it.

HUGELY. Well, Wake couldn't afford to give up an 80 yard TD on a screen. They desperately need a score here before half if they want to hang around

Did Wake really just call a timeout to run a QB draw on 3rd and 15? Wow.

FSU is just committing some absolutely blatant penalties. They're not even giving the refs a fair opportunity to rig the game.

Oh for sure. HS recruiting is still going to be vital but the portal is definitely the quick fix. The small school kids that blow up aren't gonna hang around. They're gonna go to a P5 school. But then again, the small schools are gonna benefit from the good players caught up in a logjam st a major program so it kinda goes both ways. And yeah, the NCAA is gonna have to find a way to strike a balance on the NIL stuff. It's just the straight up wild, wild west right now. One step I'd make is reinstituting the one year sit out rule for transfers. Balance that by forcing the schools to commit to a four year scholarship for the kids as long as they maintain academic eligibility, which is how it always should've been anyway.

Damn. And now they pop FSU for offensive pass interference. I mean, yeah they're BLATANT but I'm still impressed they're being thrown.

Props to the ACC refs. I just knew they were gonna pick up that blatant holding flag after the result was an FSU TD.

Wow. 62% of starts from FSU this year have been transfers. This is the new reality of college football. HS recruiting is now an afterthought. Your primary recruiting pool is the transfer portal. Most of those HS recruits are a year or two, maybe even three away from being significant contributors. Those portal kids are good to go tomorrow.

Bingo. All that protection we've seen Clemson gets over the years is gonna go to FSU this year. Just how it goes when a conference only has one potential playoff team. They're gonna protect that precious egg all they can.

FSU TD after the block in the back leads to a 30 yard gain. Then the WFU DB takes a horrible angle on the WR screen to give up 6.

Well, there's one. FSU just got away with a blatant block in the back on a screen.

It's definitely possible. I mean, instead of conferences having one or two potential playoff caliber teams they might have 3 or 4. I just think the 4 team field puts more pressure. I mean, if FSU loses to Wake the ACC is essentially out of the playoff race barely halfway through the season. In a 12 team field, the ACC would still have both FSU and UNC alive even with both having bad losses (in the event FSU loses to Wake). The ACC ain't gonna let FSU lose to Wake without throwing everything they have to avoid it.

TD WFU. We gotta game. Now be on the lookout for some of those "flags".

Refs should not be hired by the conferences. There's just way too many financial incentives to get a team into the playoffs. There's just way too many extremely questionable flags benefitting playoff contenders in-conference every single year. Maybe going to 12 teams will help clean up some of that incentive. But honestly, a lot of times it does feel like straight up game rigging for the teams with playoff aspirations.

Wake finally decided to stop ineffectively throwing the ball and immediately rips off a 50 yard run.

Despite being undefeated I just don't think OU has looked like a top 10 team.
