On an unrelated note. Fox has far surpassed ESPN/ABC at this point. The Big Noon Kickoff is much better than College Gameday. The only glaring mistake that Fox made was hiring Tom Rinaldi. The Fox presentation during the games is so much better. I can hear players yelling/shouting on the field, the crowd and the announcers. Also better camera angles. Watching the Michigan game today, the announcers were terrible. After Gameday, it cut into the players walking out of the locker room, then when right to a terrible camera angle with some awful music playing (not the UM band) and half the team had already touched the banner.
Multiple times the play had already started, the cameras and announcers were seconds behind. They can longer use the excuse that they are watching the game at the same time as us in a studio. I lost count of how many times they said "we are here at the Big House with 107 thousand PLUS."

I agree.

 Georgia at least arguable, but OU ahead of OSU?   Yeah there was nothing this week to think OU over OSU. Georgia has there typically strong defense and crappy offense again.

Yeah, I was going to say earlier that they have a top 5 half team (defense), but that offense is nothing to write home about. That said, you can definitely make a case for them over us based on week one. That defense played lights out. OU? Not so much. Again, based solely on 1st game performance

I put Georgia #2 based on winning at Clemson. That doesn't happen often. I think their last home loss was in 2016. Plus Georgia was already in the top 5 so going to 2 was not some huge jump. A tough win at Minnesota is ok but not comparable.

Wasn't the game at a neutral site? NC, right? Not like it's a hike for Georgia either.

You're right. Technically it was at Charlotte, but the crowd looked overwhelmingly Clemson. It would have been like playing in Atlanta and calling it neutral.

ND in total meltdown mode. Â FSU just forced a 3 and out, only down by 3, with about 5 min left. Â All under the back drop of a crazy comeback story involving their back up QB (catastrophic injury a few years ago) leading the come back.

Kid leads em down to tying FG. Â Unless ND pulls out a minor miracle, with 40 seconds left, we are heading to OT

This is exactly what we college football fans needed - Sunday night game where the entire country is watching. OT
