I disagree. That O is stacked. The D is talented, but the DC has been an abomination.

I think a lot of you are going to be surprised with how poorly Ward does in the NFL. 

I am never surprised when any college qb does poorly in the NFL.  Any surprise that I have would be reserved for any college qb that actually lives up to his billing.  

That being said, Ward has about as much of a chance as most of the others, ie about 1 in five if you look at qb's picked in the first round.

These no name HC's just don't move the needle for me.

Hard to get much more name recognition than Mack Brown in college football. Hope you enjoyed it. I'm ready for a coach not a name and star value.

lot of post game flag planting fighting today….

UNC/ NC State going at it 

Michigan and OSU went at it

The O has been poor the last few weeks. Disappeared for 2Q today. Disappeared for a similar amount of time against GT. 

You are one odd duck. Your offense has over 500 yards and you put up 38 points. Your defense blows. It's been that way all year long but you've insisted on putting the blame on your #1 overall caliber QB and the offense that has carried the load for a bad defense.

I honestly wonder if the 12 team playoff field made top teams more complacent this year? Seems like everyone has lost games they just shouldn't have lost.

Texas is impressive tonight.  They look like they can win it all if things fall right.  So much talent.

This whole season feels weird.  There doesn’t seem to be the standard 2-3 stud teams.  I think there I still a top tier but it’s weaker than in the past. 

the middle of the top 25 I feel has better odds vs the top 5 than in years past. 

I and dislike the feel the new playoff system.  Imagine if Clemson wins.  You got the ACC and Big12 making the whole system a joke.   Because you would have 2 teams not in the top 15 taking up multiple spots.

I think there's some truth to that.

NIL has made things more even in my opinion.  Top players aren’t looking to go to Alabama or Georgia per se, they are looking for the school that’s going to pay them the most money.  In other words, talent isn’t as top heavy anymore

What's with all the poor sportsmanship this year? Seems a bit worse.

Refs rewarding Texas fans with an overturned call after they created a delay raining trash down on the field couldn't have helped matters.

This seems to be one of the least compelling college seasons I can remember.
