re: Your Top 5 after Week 1

Ohio state would get crushed by any SEC school, Oregon and FSU. Clemson would be a shoot out. Tired of the Ohio st and Notre dames in the title game, same with Oklahoma as well.

---

OSU hasn't been in a title game since 2007, and they haven't been in one they belonged in since 2006. Those kids are long gone playing in the pros or working real jobs.

Ohio State could very well run the table, albeit against the cupcakes they play. I love how ESPN played the narrative on the bottom line that Ohio State blew past buffalo 40-20. If not for a BS penalty that game would have been 30-27 at one point after the fumble recovery at the 1 yd line.

---

OSU would have scored 60 if they had to to win; they took the foot off the gas to not give up much of the playbook. They didn't play great, but they played well enough to win convincingly. That penalty was legit, and Miller didn't fumble. OSU had a bullcrap penalty called on them when a LB "continued to play after his helmet came off" and a guy got a sack like half a second later to continue a drive where Buffalo scored. Are we only going to count the one that helps Buffalo?

I don't think OSU should be in the top 3 as of now, I think Clemson, FSU and Oregon all looked better. Bama getting the benefit of the doubt is fine by me but they need to get it together before A&M

Ohio State is in the top 5 without a doubt, they could run the table this year.

I don't get Ohio St hype. they were exceedingly fortunate last year, and did anyone actually watch that Buffalo game? They got bailed out by a (correct) flag that really had no bearing on the play. If that play stands, Buffalo is within a field goal in the fourth quarter. Ohio St. hardly dominated a friggin' MAC team, and not a good one.

Northwestern's win was more impressive. I think OSU is the better team, but I will be shocked if OSU makes it through their season undefeated. I'd be mildly surprised if they only lose one game.

My top 5:

1 Clemson
2 Bama
3 Oregon
4 South Carolina
5 Florida St

(South Carolina always plays like hot garbage in their first game, and they comfortably beat one of the better teams in the ACC -- they won by 17 without even playing well or needing any big plays)

I'd rank LSU 6th.

You beat TCU. ..#3?

See this makes me question if you watched the game? Miller's elbow was clearly down, and it was the 3rd quarter, not the 4th. OSU could have scored more points, but they were up 3 TDs in middle of the 3rd and kind of just finished the game. Once again do we only count the bail outs when it goes against OSU's opponent? What about the LBer "continuing to play" when he didn't really do anything and it was a sack, and the ensuing 15 yard penalty continued a drive that Buffalo scored on?

I don't know if OSU is top 5 now, but they have top 5 talent, and were without 2 RBs and an all-american at corner and an all-conference type safety. They need to get better quick, or the Cal game could be interesting. I just love how people say don't overreact to a first game, then everyone overreacts

They will be in the top 5 because the voters won't make that drastic of a change after 1 week, however, Ohio State is NOT one of the 5 best teams in college football.

I would give Clemson and Bama the nod over FSU.

And you know this how? Because they didn't beat LSU in 2007?

I know it happened in the 3rd, but the score would've carried into the fourth. And the call wasn't the elbow, there was an illegal hands to the face flag, by the rusher who did not make the sack. And, yes, I only count the bailouts when YOU ARE PLAYING BUFFALO. You don't get to play woulda coulda shoulda against a team that went 4-8 in the MAC last season.

---

Not when OSU scored another TD in the 3rd.

Anyway, I agree OSU should not have struggled against Buffalo, but they really didn't. They coasted, whether they should have or not, in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. They won by 3 TDs on a day where Miller threw a pick 6, and the O gave Buffalo a short field on another drive. In the 4th quarter it was run run, try and get the first down, then punt...not trying to score

I also don't think they looked top 5 this weekend, but I also think you wait a month to judge teams.

1. Bama - They are the champs until they are dethroned... They will get the kinks worked out and all this talk about how shitty the OLine looked will be fuel for improvement. They should lose a game or maybe 2 y the season's end but like I said.. They stay at 1 until they get knocked off

2. Oregon - "Same as it ever was" ... Easy schedule and they are going to score like 800 points a game. Can't wait to see them play Stanford (only decent team on their schedule)

3. Clemson - I hate Clemson. But they play an easier schedule and have a great QB. All around, they are a good team and had the most impressive win on Saturday against a great UGA team... They can run the table

4. USCe - Played like crap and stil beat a pretty good team by 17. Clowney "taking plays off" ESPN hype bullshite will throw fuel on the fire. Tough schedule though... Will fall eventually

5. LSU - Words cannot describe the happiness that came over me to see Mett drop back in the pocket on 3rd and 3 in a close game... Cam has convinced Les to let go (for now). Chavis gunna Chavis. Jarvis Landry is beyond a beast, will be playing on Sundays soon. Tough schedule though, we will lose 2 by seasons end


Louisville - should be in the mix here bc they are going to run the table. I am not saying that they are half as good as any of these teams, just pointing out reality. I think everyone above loses at least one and the Cardinals will get a BCSNC Birth... Which is bullshite

4. Clemson. Let's see who walks away from the showdown with FSU in a few weeks.

Really looking forward to that one.
