U of W first in. Who all you guys rooting for today? Bama fans here? Michigan looks legit. I haven’t watched any Georgia games this year but hoping for good...

propman Indiana,s schedule is pretty light so it's hard to tell just how good they are.....as long as they don't implode down the stretch they will be one of the 12, as they should. Bucky will get a taste of what Mendoza can do next week. We shall see!

ode doubt IU will be undefeated after OS.

scotts33 Mendoza has one of the inside positions to get to the Heisman.

Highly doubtful with his stats. (Yes professor, stats make that award.😆)
He's only broke the 250 mark twice this season. not broke 200 a few times and barely did others. And he is not what I'd call a 'mobile' QB. Rushing stats are almost non-existent.
So, no statue for this fella, as good as his team may(or may not) be at winning games.

Fine, I'll play the stat game. How's 26-5 Td's to Int's? Good enough for you?

ode Here's what is lost in all of this. Wisconsin hosted Military Appreciation Day with Veterans Day upcoming on Tuesday. Luke Fickell's Dad Pat Fickell was a Vietnam veteran a Marine infantry M-60 gunner. Luke has always supported his Dad's service. I attended as a Vietnam veteran and Wisconsin alumni with my daughter also a Army veteran in Iraq to support the football team and the University. To me the game was secondary and the college traditions of football and spirit are intact. Modern portal/NIL has tarnished the legacy but overall I still think the passing on elements of college culture from generation to generation are viable.

scotts33 📢cheers to that!

No reason not to!

professor Great, in fact.

But with only 234 yds./game, I think there may be other team member(s?) contributing to his stats.
I can imagine his TD passes have been mainly very short, given the RBs & WRs stats.
He is not Heisman quality.

Almost as good as the kid from UConn.

Imagine that, teammates affect the success of Quarterbacks. Who knew? I know this is "NFL" but, Jalen Hurts is no "stat machine". He just tends to win.

azgreg 👍

A fair amount of NCAA QBs with nice TD-INT ratios.
And we will never hear of them, nor will they ever be nominated for prestigious awards, like a Heisman.

Just like Bart Starr 5 championships in 7 years not a stat. machine but a winner. MVP of the first 2 Super Bowls! 1956 17th round pick. ☺ LOL

PapaD and Eguller's ODU beat my undergrad Troy last night. It was Troy State when I attended. 4/1 ratio girls/guys, so had some value.

darpar Ain’t no more. Just made a critical mistake to give the Gamecocks a slim chance now though.

My Pitt boys getting drubbed by Notre Dame....Well, they were relevant for a few days this week.

Left at halftime with A&M down 30-3,played some golf......come home and somehow they came
back and beat SC 31-30! 😲😲

johnnydoom

Don’t know where Shane Beamer will be next year, but South Carolina doesn’t seem likely.

Bravopilot

johnnydoom Seemed to be the guy for VA Tech but that does not look so anymore.

Should be a couple more changes in SEC. Expect Kentucky to make a change.
