SMU literally handing it to Penn St. Why do that....why? Very poor coach on the SMU sideline.

    jsippy73 Penn State has a bag of tricks

    Yeah, although their bag isn't quite so full since their back-up QB is off the team due to entering the portal. They liked to run a number of 2 QB formations. Regardless, they're quite stout on both the offensive and defensive line. It starts there.

      johnnydoom Assuming that they put this one away, they probably won’t need to show them against Boise State either.

      Oh, that might be a different story. No more home games. They'll play that one in Arizona.

          ode Very poor coach on the SMU sideline.

          I'm sure the "Boosters" can remedy that with a new coach. I believe SMU boosters ponied-up $27 million to buy this year's team.

              Nice start for Clemson.

              I like that play on words @professor. ☺

              I believe but certainly could be wrong Boise St. SOS is also average and won't provide as much of a test that another highly rated SOS team would have for Penn St. Boise St. only tough game was Oregon but 2nd game of season the rest were cake walks in general just and Indiana and SMU SOS were average. Boise St #78, Indiana #67, SMU #64, Penn St. #38, Notre Dame #57. Home field is huge no doubt. Committee surely needs to take SOS more into account and generally we wouldn't see these blow outs.

                If you want to watch a real, competitive game, switch to Steelers @Ravens.

                Fortunately for the ACC, it’s more about the money now than it is the championships or playoff exposure. Otherwise I would say they’re having a bad recruiting day today so far.

                  I don't know that I'm following. It's all about the money throughout the NCAA.

                      professor The SEC and Big10 dominated for a long time because the best players wanted the exposure that comes with being on top ranked teams. Now, due to NIL, the best players are more concerned with how much money they’ll make this year and will go where the money takes them. Some are even dragging out their college careers because they know they will make more in NIL than any offer they are likely to get from the pros.

                          Looks like Texas defensive backs are pointing fingers at each other now.

                          All of a sudden, NEITHER Texas-Clemson nor Steelers-Ravens are close games anymore….!!!

                          BIG goal line stand for Longhorns!

                          Clemson was on the verge of bringing it back to one touchdown.

                          Okay, got your reference. But, if I move past my own stodginess, there's lots more parity now and more kids are getting a chance to play. Hell, the MAC is now getting pretty damn good.

                            OSU looks weird in red pants.

                            I missed the start and apparently missed a lot. I wouldn’t have expected Tennessee to get jumped like this.

                              Tennessee QB took a big hit. It’s a wonder he’s still in the game.

                                Thought this would be the only good game in the first round and boy was I wrong. Tennessee is less ready for prime time than Indiana and SMU were.
