I have moved BC from a very probable win to a toss-up currently. Could have been an "any given Saturday" type of game, but BC gave FSU all they could handle. I hope to see that next week's game reverts to the mean.

I’m puzzled as to why some are making an issue of this. The facts are: Our starting, and presumably best, punter got hurt. We put in our freshman backup. He punted for a net 40 yards. Despite a sample size of only one, we complained that we didn’t have a plan because he didn’t look good doing...

This may seem a little tongue-in-cheek, but I'm actually serious. Because this topic comes up a lot on this board. I think there is a bit of talking past each other going on because you both have valid points. Parsing the situation, we have two variables and four possible positions, so it's...

We aren't privy to the conversations that occurred between Shanahan and the coaches. Most players want to go back out and will tend to minimize their injuries. Regardless, I understand how you could have come to your conclusion. If Shanahan sits out next Saturday and our backup falls short...

It's also very frustrating. If someone had said before the season that we would have a top-20 offense and a very disciplined team (no penalties), I would have expected us to be playing for the conference championship. I expected our D to regress some with the loss of key players, but this is...

Ok, so he put the correct spin on it so it would roll in our favor. Again, an acceptable, but not a great punt in a sample size of one, but not seeing how you can conclude that we didn't have a plan.

Only three games in, but the data is starting to correlate...exciting offense and absolutely abysmal defense.

Not sure I understand this sentiment. Joshua Taylor subbed in and punted a 40-yarder. Not superb, but considering he's a true freshman making his first punt, not too bad. What am I missing?

Hindsight is always 20/20. At the 50,000-foot level, I don't have a problem with the call. Key's stated game plan on offense was to be aggressive. This high-risk/high-reward approach was likely the only realistic path to winning the game. Same for the failed fake punt, where he also was...

This site seems pretty accurate as well as timely. https://www.covers.com/sport/football/ncaaf/injuries

You make a good point about transfers and the NFL rule. Certainly, transfers occur often in basketball, but more rarely for the top-tier players and for obvious reasons don't occur for the one-and-dones. However, all the NCAA had to do to avoid the current free-for-all in football was to retain...

On the surface, it might appear that doing away with the NFL's 3-year rule would hurt the top-tier programs disproportionately and thus improve parity. But I'm not so sure that there would be a dramatic difference over the long haul. Consider other college sports that don't have such a rule...

Looks like they also are doing a bit of facelifting on the east side of the stadium that ties in with the theme. Also, is that an absolutely humongous garage door on the east side? Scale can't be correct.

If anyone is interested: The Knight Commission is using the recent conference realignment as a springboard to tout their earlier recommendation for separating FBS Football governance from other sports and the NCAA...

Wait...you mean a graphic on Twitter X isn't accurate? I'm stunned. ;) Joking aside, our relative ranking is about where I would expect. Surprised a little at Virginia coming in at 13 though.

In contrast to the ACC, whose teams are mostly in mid-to-large cities, most SEC teams are located in smaller towns. Big fish in small ponds. That obviously has a bearing on how the local community supports the team. The most notable exception is Nashville, and we all know where that team...

Interesting wrinkle here. If ESPN was making the CFP selections, no question that a one-loss SEC team would get in. But ESPN isn't, the CFP committee chooses. Eyeballs and compelling matchups will rule. You could argue that, given the national reach of the CFP, and factoring in potential...

That is why I concluded that they used the original recruit rankings for their composite. If @slugboy has evidence to the contrary, great. It doesn't change the point that, by the metric used by the rating service, we have significantly more "talent" than Tulane and not much less than Ole Miss...

I guess...he could...kinda...maybe...use some coaching on public speaking. Just curious...if he's thought about that. :ROFLMAO:

Nothing special - Chrome is my go-to. Again, I don't think it's the browser as I still can't see articles from the NYT or other paywalled sources. And as far as I know, I haven't changed anything that would affect my access to the AJC. So it's a mystery. But if you want to see GT articles...
