There are some decent games on. I can’t understand watching Rutgers/Iowa. I do occasionally flip on UCF to laugh at mullet man.

I feel like I need FSU and Washington to keep winning so we aren’t stuck with ESPN’s dream all Big Ten/SEC playoff.

A league that is 2/14 or 3/14 deep should never have 2/4 playoff spots.

No problem with 2 sec if it shakes out that way. I might even prefer a Pac rematch w those two.

Wow, Rutgers QB sucks.
In the CR Gazette this morning about half the newspaper’s weekly game pickers actually had Rutgers winning, which really shows his little respect people have for Iowa’s offense even here in eastern Iowa.

Thing is, as is being demonstrated, Rutgers’ QB is awful. He can’t throw a decent pass. While Rutgers does have a sturdy running game, Iowa’s defense is really, really good, and if you’re one-dimensional they’re gonna shut you down, no matter how good you are with that dimension. Plus, as usual, sounds like Iowa is keeping with their typical mostly mistake-free ball (except for the pick at the end of the half), and when they don’t make mistakes you need to be close to perfect to beat them.

Honestly, the big 10 is a terrible conference. Yet Ohio state and Michigan are in the top 4 college playoffs. Neither team has played anyone. How good are they really? I contend there are other teams in other conferences that are better than Ohio state and possibly Mich.

That’s why we have the playoffs, to settle that. There aren’t enough premier non con games. OSU beat ND and PSU, michiagn has only beat PSU.

You can make this argument against every single team except Georgia.

Edit* also Washington

Once again the Hawks get out-sucked. 22-0 final. First shutout for the Hawks since 2019 which kind of surprised me. Clinched an ass whipping in Indy with the win. **** Iowa!

BF will be the next OC for Rutgers;). Schianno should have his Offensive staff arrested for theft, they are stealing their salaries. 20 yards in a half, JFC. You could QB sneak for more yards in a half!

Rutgers should just stop playing this season until they can field a proper team. Maybe they should drop of of p5 for a while.

What if Kansas took that advice? Just got to get the right coach and some good players. Also leaving the east is going to help a bit
