This is all true.Since carrol has left what good has USC been? They really have went downhill
Bama is a force.
That defense is just F'in Brutal.
If Bama plays 100% they will be the champs, IMO. But, they're kids. They make mistakes.

Freshman QB's is the downfall with Saban at that school. He can't keep anyone they all just turn pro! If he had a seasoned QB at that school this year it would be deadly. If one of those QB's has a bad game and turnovers happen.. they could slip.This is all true.

I'm biased, but I think FSU/Clemson may be the game of the year.Freshman QB's is the downfall with Saban at that school. He can't keep anyone they all just turn pro!

Michigan and OSU could be the game of the Year.. Srs..
If FSU plays like they did in the first half vs ole miss Clemson will put up 50 on them.I'm biased, but I think FSU/Clemson may be the game of the year.
Likewise, the same with QBs. If Winston stayed another year at FSU they would've competed last year. That's why college is so fun.
So agree.Michigan and OSU could be the game of the Year.. Srs..
No disagreement here. Based on the other games played this weekend I'll take what we put out.If FSU plays like they did in the first half vs ole miss Clemson will put up 50 on them.
Not trying to discredit houston i do think they are great, but to say that they arent like any small school you've ever seen is a big statement. 2010 tcu and bsu lots of people wanted tcu in the championship game and bsu defensively dominant them. Honestly i think houston looks very very similar to that bsu team. Also what about 2009 utah who DESTROYED Alabama or late 1980s BYU with steve young who won a national championship. I do think houston will be a force to be wreakened with, dont get me wrong.I'm one guy who doesn't think OK was overrated, just inexperienced in the WR core and got punched in the mouth early by some badasses that they may have underestimated. I wouldn't count them out at all by the end of this year. And I think Houston is for real for real, like no "small" conference team we've yet seen. Houston could certainly run the table AND I think they could be the only undefeated team cone playoff time. I think this year will look a lot like 2011 where it's a curse to be #1.
This weekend was so different with how many good teams were forced to schedule tough games instead of their usual preseason cupcake fare. I think that makes it harder to get a bead on who wasn't ready and who just isn't good. Either way I'm excited to see what comes this year.
Houston matches up physically with these powerhouse teams better than any small conference school I've seen in my lifetime. They're a team that looks like they could do the big 12 schedule and acquit themselves. I don't think the same could be said for the Boise teams or Andy Dalton's Frogs or even Utah. We see this when they finally join up with the big conferences, there is some adjustment.Not trying to discredit houston i do think they are great, but to say that they arent like any small school you've ever seen is a big statement. 2010 tcu and bsu lots of people wanted tcu in the championship game and bsu defensively dominant them.

Ill agree but i honestly think that 2010 tcu and bsu could of have competed in any big conference. Tcu had to adjust because they lost everyone that year. Think watching houstin will be excited, i hope they make it tk they cfp, even though it ruins bsu season if houston goes undefeated. And im a die hard, blue bleeding, bronco.

I'm sure the same would happen to Houston, but I've yet to see a big/little upset where if you didn't know the uniforms, you'd have trouble telling which team was the big and the little. Then again at week 1 this is all very premature of me, we'll see how it plays out. But I like these Coogs.
Ill agree with almsot everything you said except about Michigan. I whole heartedly believe that they are winning the championship THIS year!For college football here is My opinion:
Texas at 11 after week 1 = not going to stay there for long.. Yes it was a good win over ND, but if ND showed up in the first half it would of not been a game. Same with keeping Kaizer at QB The entire game. Malik did not work out well.
Houston could be the biggest sleeper in that top 10.. a very under the radar team
Michigan and Harbaugh are a force, that is the best move michigan made in a long time. Do not be surprised if he wins a championship in 2-3 years.
Most overrated team
LSU --> Every year they have some good players, but not a great team..
Best Team:
Its only week 1, but until someone really slaps Bama in the face or their freshman QB's make big mistakes they will be hard to beat with that defense.
Heisman:
Fournette if he continues to rush for 100+ yards a game
Mccafferty could be the all around best player in the game.
Clemson and OSU QB's will put up huge numbers.
Cook from FSU if their O-Line can continue to block well for him.
That would be my top 5 picks for the heisman for preseason.
Nah. I think it'll be one of the current top 3.Ill agree with almsot everything you said except about Michigan. I whole heartedly believe that they are winning the championship THIS year!

It doesn't matter. I'm for the legalization of cannabis, but if your employer has it listed as a banned substance, you cannot use it, regardless of any condition.Bills fan. The Henderson susp is garbage, he has severe Krohns disease and dr prescribed med pot.
The wood restructuring has everything to do with resigning Gilmore
I disagree. If you have a prescription you should get to use itIt doesn't matter. I'm for the legalization of cannabis, but if your employer has it listed as a banned substance, you cannot use it, regardless of any condition.
Agreed. Norco (oxycodone) is a banned substance in the NFL, but if you have an rx, and can show it, its allowed. What's the difference?I disagree. If you have a prescription you should get to use it
Companies (not necessarily talking the NFL) should still have the right to ban it. You wouldn't want a large equipment operator to be under any medication( i.e. Cranes or anything that threatens lives of others.Agreed.

Once marijauna gets legalized for medicinal use federally that's how it'll be, but until then, things like this will continue to happen.
Not while on duty, i 100% agree.Companies (not necessarily talking the NFL) should still have the right to ban it. You wouldn't want a large equipment operator to be under any medication( i.e. Cranes or anything that threatens lives of others.
Bit of a different situation, though. If you fall asleep on the football field, the worst that can happen is you get booed and your team loses. If you fall asleep operating a crane or heavy machinery, you can kill people.Companies (not necessarily talking the NFL) should still have the right to ban it.

Their O actually looked surprisingly good, turnovers will be what makes or breaks them 100%.Wasn't there someone in this thread that said Denver wasn't going to be any good this year?
Wonder how they feel about that now....
I agree, but again, if the company says no to it and tests for it, the person is responsible while working for that employer.I disagree. If you have a prescription you should get to use it
Bennett is a solid TE. If he can catch on to that O, he should do well.Gronk it out. Pretty bad loss. For a young/new QB, the safety blanket it the TE.
The original comment wasn't specific to the NFL I don't believe. I still think they reserve the right to ban certain things.Bit of a different situation, though.

If weed is allowed but not during work/play, you never know if they're using. They test positive regardless.I agree, but again, if the company says no to it and tests for it, the person is responsible while working for that employer.
With current testing, this is true. But i think there will eventually be something developed to tell if someone is actively intoxicated.The original comment wasn't specific to the NFL I don't believe. I still think they reserve the right to ban certain things.

If he knows the system well enough, he may suffice. Don't forget too, the O line is pretty bad for them. Brady, as much as I hate him, can work with a bad O line. He can get the ball off quick. Combine a bad O line with a QB that cannot read defenses as well as Brady, that is a recipe for holding onto the ball too long. And that defense is quick. I'm curious to see the Pats gameplan.Bennett is a solid TE. If he can catch on to that O, he should do well.
No surprise there, Bradford has only been there for like 5 days.Shaun Hill starting over Bradford W1...
Good point. Sorry, im at a brewery lol.No surprise there, Bradford has only been there for like 5 days.
Zeke had about 50 yards on 20 carries. While not great Dak played very good for a first start in the NFL. Hats off to him and how well he was composed even on that final drive.The boys lost (thank god lol) but it was one hell of a game a absolute nail bitter rooks played pretty good some bad passes but all n all impressive not gunna lie (redskins fan)
That is true what impressed me is he's not scared of contact which you can't teach but the way almost looks for defender to run directly at he might not last doing that dak looked incredibly comfortable in the pocketZeke had about 50 yards on 20 carries.
