No, Texas is also great against the run. I missed them earlier in the rankings.

BSU was lucky they got penn state in their brackets. Penn State never does what's best for them when it comes to game planning.

So it's a given that Georgia beats ND?
This is the game that I have doubts about.

Well, yes, and no. Before, if the big boys missed out on a prospect out of HS who blew up in college and became really good, that was just a miss.
But now they can just get them to transfer to their school. Notre Dame is going to get every fifth year quarterback that’s worth a shit from a school that’s not gonna make the playoff For example

My favorite teams
I don't understand the brouhaha regarding the injured player and the coach making the substitution symbol. I only watched a brief clip of it so I definitely don't understand it. Wasn't the injured player an Illinois player? So the Illinois coach made a substitution gesture to the South Carolina coach when an Illinois player was injured? What am I missing here?

ND would stand a better chance against Mr Turnover Beck than Gunner, who can run and that’s what ND struggles against.

Bielema was mad that SC used that motion on a kickoff to confuse Illinois into thinking they werent returning a kick.
So he was not doing it because his player was hurt and in fact used his player being hurt as an opportunity to show his displeasure over that gesture being used on the kick return.

The whole announcing crew from that game needs to be fired. Mark Jones, Roddy Jones, and ESPECIALLY rules analyst Bill LeMonnier . They had no idea what they were talking about the entire game. They concocted some story that Illinois was upset with South Carolina substituting twice after breaking the huddle, but that obviously wasn't the case as the refs allowed Illinois to sub in after the latest South Carolina subs. The only guy upset was the South Carolina coach, but he was the guy trying to sub in players with 15 seconds on the play clock every 3rd down. Then idiot Bill LeMonnier accused Illinois of "gamesmanship", yet had no comment when South Carolina made the T signal on a kickoff, pretended to walk off the field, then did a home run throwback. Illinois was upset because someone could have been blindsided thinking the play was over.
And WTF is a "substitution gesture"?

Quinn Ewers looking nice early.
I expect texas to demolish ASU since the ASU pass rush is cheeks.
Nd over Georgia. Oregon over OSU

Bielema is an ass but Beamer caused this and was trying to circumvent the rules. F that guy.

It was a trick play and he cleared it with the refs beforehand so dont see the issue.

He was also sending 5 subs in and then 2or3 of them would go back to the sideline; it was an effort to try and confuse Illinois with who would be on the field.

Separate issue but the refs allowed Illinois to match in that situation to the point where Beamer had to call a timeout at one point to avoid a delay of game.

When Texas brings their A game, they look like the best team in the country

Well, if the refs cleared it fine. But don’t pull some play specifically designed to make the opponent think the play is over, and then whine that they didn’t like having their players put at risk.
Beamer tricked them and got a TD out of it. Good for him. Then stop whining the whole game!
Illinois had a TD taken away and SC had that one given to them, and redneck SC fans think they got the worst of it from the officials.

This is the part fans apparently don’t understand. SC fans are blaming Bielema for gamesmanship by reacting to the substitutions with his own defensive subs.
But it’s Beamer to blame for multiple substitutions when the clock is running down.
Beamer was unhinged all game.

Sark will never leave Texas, but he’d be near the top of my list to bring in for the Bears job if he did. I love him as a playcaller.

Notre Dame vs Georgia game postponed.
I was angry at first that this was just them being overly sensitive to the truck mauling a bunch of people. But it looks like there might have been a plot to blow up the stadium. This is a serious terrorist attack. They did the right thing.

Back to Illinois/SC, if the T bar signal is not indicating no return, and if the refs say you are allowed to return the kick in spite of the signal, exactly WHAT IS it signaling??
Ask Little Shane Beamer that.
“Coach, if you were not indicating no return, what WERE you signaling??”
