Adonai Mitchell was a 3-star. The highest tier of the country has a talent advantage and a developmental one on top.

I just don't understand how someone is supposed to break into the top tier. Look at Clemson. They have talent all over the place, but it doesn't matter unless they have an otherworldly QB.

Those teams can slow play even intriguing 3* talents & swoop in late with an offer around the signing day periods after seeing them play a senior year of high school.

There just isn’t really margins to be gained in today’s landscape. Not that college football has been a beacon of parity but we’ve essentially gone from a 10-20 team landscape to like a 3 team landscape over the last two decades.

This game perfectly encapsulates the talent imbalance in the sport even amongst the top programs. Oregon generally lands somewhere in the 5-15 range every recruiting cycle & they’re absolutely getting blown off the field in this game.

Beef, this is a man who started the year ranked #10, went 3-3, and decided this was his best course of action:

“My expectation is to win every game,” Brown said after the loss. “So three times we’ve met it and three times we haven’t. The national media expectation, the expectations for us to be a top-10 team were wrong. So I guess we should all be critical of the media for picking us too high, because we’re not that good. So you guys all screwed it up.”

Thinking is not a strong suit.

These three Georgia TEs being on one roster is one of the weirdest position groups I can ever remember. There just aren't that many physical specimen TEs in the world.

I know Bo Nix has started terrible, but he's Bo Nix. They'll start working out. And then they'll fail again, but both the good and bad will be fun.

Physical Specimen TEs are going to be the new Unit FB

I really don't think you should be any lower on Oregon today than you were 6 hours ago. We already knew there was a top 3.



Love the weird shit.

Cincinnati got a turnover putting them on Arkansas’ 3 yard line but pissed it away with four penalties (three false starts & a delay of game) making them settle for a FG.
