I think the Jaguars put the Pokes to rest. Next week will have some really interesting games to see. Ole Miss vs Alabama, Clemson vs FSU, Auburn vs Texas A&M, are just 3 regionally which will tell us some things. I hold no illusions about Auburn and where they are. How they do against A&M should tell us a lot about A&M. Is Clemson as weak as they appeared against Duke? Or is Duke pretty good? Is Florida State as good as they looked against L.S.U. or more like the team that played B.C. today? Is Kiffin going to call off the dogs against Saban? Right now a poor Ole Miss defense doesn't look like such a handicap in light of the Alabama offense. Tough to know what Michigan and Ohio State have? Wisconsin underwhelmed against Georgia Southern. Washington obliterated Sparty. Minnosota, Purdue, Northwestern, Indiana all bit the dust.
You know Quo, lack of depth due to the portal and NIL, and a continued diminishment of talent overall may be the biggest two contributing factors. Talented and well built teams seem to be lacking.
When watching Alabama today I was reminded of an old cheer we did in the early 70's. U, G, L, Y, You Ain't Got No Alibi, You UGLY! That is the most woeful Alabama offense I've ever seen. I wonder if the one which Ears Whitworth had has worse?

He has a hell of an arm. The ball just zips off his hand.

Can somebody tell me what the CSU coach was thinking trying to stop the clock during that last drive. You maybe do it one time but then drop on the knee after that.

Either Colorado st is very good, or TCU and Nebraska are very bad this season. Possibly all of the above. Or maybe CU just took CSU lightly.

Crazy game.
Not sure why Colorado chose to go on offense first in first OT.
CSU has got to play defense first both periods.
