Feels like it should be half time and not end of the first quarter. Colorado State playing hard, but a bit too hard with these penalties. They do have the Buffs a bit out of sorts though.

Colorado State was overtly aggressive for like the entire game, but punt on the last 4th down at midfield and don’t go for 2 in overtime. Because why

That hit on Travis Hunter is some of the most awful shit I've ever seen. Some f***ing future accountant on a 2 bit college football team trying to kill a star for what?

Hope that kid flunks out. What a loser

They stormed the field for a win over a team they were favorited by 20 points coming into it. I think we’re getting a little excessive here now.

I'm not a fan of storming the field in general because of injuries both to players, and then staff and fans. I would have like to have seen the penalties increased until you got to 'conference bowl ban' and other shit.
 
Notre Dame and UCF both had two QB's transfer in the off-season transfer portal.

Notre Dame transfer QB's yesterday
Tyler Buchner(for Alabama vs South Florida) 5/14, 34 yards, 0TD, 0 INT
Drew Pyne (for AZ St vs Fresno St) 5/13, 52 yards. 0 TD, 2 INT, 2 fumbles

UCF transfer QB's yesterday
Mikey Keene (for Fresno St vs AZ St) 32/49, 281 yards. 2 TD, 0 INT
Thomas Castellanos (For BC vs Florida St) 20/33, 305 yards. 1 TD, 1 INT

I think it’s applicable when it’s truly an upset even beyond the safety concerns but when you do it every week it cheapens it. It should be a special occasion type of ordeal.

I am generally not a fan of storming the field, but in this case I'm for it. Deion is going to Deion. He has his whole personality, which while loud and outlandish is working, that he has built a college program around. He definitely does things differently and a lot of people aren't going to like it. Then you get the other coach calling out the shades and hat, which no matter the context is a terrible idea to throw out there. Deion and, by design, that entire community love when you call them out for their flash. They can't wait to use it against you. So if you're going to call them out, you best back it up. And they did back it up, for almost the whole game. Almost enough to win.

But they were also overly physical to the point of being dirty. I can understand the concept to take it to the line because you're trying to throw them off their game. But that hit on Travis Hunter was trash. Based on what I've seen so far, which was on the internet and like Abe Lincoln said "Don't trust everything you read on the internet", he is also a trash human. The fact he got burned on the game tying TD with under a minute to go in the game and then had to deal with the storming of a the field is perfect for me. He deserves to think about that the rest of his life.

Two teams I think are being strongly underrated right now: Washington and UCLA

The PAC12 is fun as hell.

Yeah they’re probably like 6 teams deep that would at least qualify as good with USC, Oregon, Washington, UCLA, Oregon State, & Utah. They’re second behind the SEC in overall SP+ so far.

The Big Ten is pretty bad this year outside of the top three in Michigan, Ohio State, & Penn State. I don’t think they have another team in the league that passes a baseline of good.

I think fans/media have created this perception where you’re either a playoff/national championship contender or you’re not any good but I’m not even looking through that lens here. That Pac-12 group very well might not send a team to the playoffs but that doesn’t take away that it’s a pretty deep league this year.

I think the 4th & 5th best teams in the Big Ten might be Iowa & Wisconsin who I think are pretty average. The the middle & bottom is just really bad. Northwestern, Indiana, Nebraska, & Purdue might some of the worst teams in all of the P5. Rutgers might actually have a viable pathway this year to make a bowl game as they’re not at the complete bottom this year & already have 3 wins banked.

As you know, I couldn’t possibly agree with this more. There’s a large contingent of fans who look at everything through the lens of the playoffs. Thay’s what ESPN pushes. Hell, that’s what the NCAA pushes.

When you do that, you miss out on all of the fun actual games you get from a collection of good but not great teams like last year’s Big 12. You can’t have two top 8 teams playing every week. Even when you do get a top 5 vs a top 15, those are still usually lopsided. Huge upsets are super fun, but they also just don’t happen very often. So for me, I’d rather watch two good teams and then peek in late if a super high seed is in danger.

This year’s PAC12 looks even better because they have a teams that could be high-end. If you said this year’s PAC12 has 5 teams as good as last year’s TCU, I couldn’t argue strongly. But they’ll all eat each other unless someone goes on a TCU miracle run and that will be that because you can’t have a fantastic year with 2-3 losses anymore.
