NCAA GDT: 2018 Season Week 1... Showdown in South Bend

[Alex Jones]

Great work by Kevin Sumlin to shut down Khalil Tate last night.

Oh, wait...

How many games would this Bama team if not coached by Saban?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Your Alabama obsession is weird.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence both flashed superstar skills yesterday. As did JT Daniels from USC.

 

[MMC]

Can’t believe we lost to Cincinnati

I can. Rosen covered up a lot of warts. Plus your team is super young. It's pretty crazy how young all the teams in the PAC-12 are. The effects of 3 straight drafts filled with PAC-12 underclassmen.

I don't think Chip Kelly is that good a coach, same with Sumlin. High schools all over the country are running the same systems that those two are so these kids coming up know how to defend against it. The novelty those systems had has worn off and they aren't good enough coaches to make up for that. The PAC 12 is also terrible again like it has been for years as evidence by their best team Washington losing to an ok Auburn team. I know it was week one but it seems like nothing much has changed in all the big conferences.

AAC UCF
ACC Clemson and FSU
Big 10 Ohio State and Wisconsin
Big 12 Oklahoma
PAC 12 USC and Stanford
SEC Alabama and Georgia

Lol declarations after the 1st week. Not like they've ever backfired.

Which of those teams didn't look a class above the rest besides FSU who hasn't played yet? It is early but I wasn't impressed with Auburn, PSU, Notre Dame as potential teams that could make the playoffs. Maybe Mississippi State or West Virginia can make some noise but this is college where the same 5 teams are always there in the end so making a week 1 claim isn't far fetched.

And worse..they are boring as all hell. Jim Harbaugh is turning into Bo. It's 2018.

Remember when Jim Harbaugh was going to revolutionize college football and take away all of Alabama and Georgia and Clemson’s recruits?

UCF

I remember Mark May going mental when Michigan made the offer to him and it was a shot at small schools like Kansas to step out of the way, as if he was ever going somewhere like that.

 

[HoseEmDown]

UCF

Funny, they said the same last year and they waxed the Auburn team that beat both Alabama and Georgia last year. The same Auburn that's somehow ranked top 10 right now while they're in the 20's.

Waxed?

Wasn’t it a 7 point win in a game Auburn didn’t care about?

And I thought we were talking about how teams looked this year.

 

[HisIceness]

North Carolina A&T beat ECU today. Pirates have fallen hard since Ruffin McNeil was dismissed.

A&T on the other hand is becoming a very good FCS program.

What is the point behind these early-season neutral site games besides revenue?

Georgia traveling to South Bend last year was an exception.

LSU would NEVER play Miami if they had to travel to the state of Florida.

They, like Bama, always stay in JerryWorld and do't have the guts to travel and play real OOC.

The score didn't tell the tale, UCF looked far superior. That didn't care retoric is getting old, Auburn cared they just weren't as good so people use that excuse when power 5 teams lose to non P5 schools. Auburn star RB Kerryon Johnson even said they took the game seriously.

 

[Novacane]

Miami looks like a pile o poo

 

[spintheblackcircle]

The P-U are back!

 

[c9777666]

Are these running backs at LSU really this good or is it a byproduct of the offensive line?

Didn't they travel to Lambeau a few years ago to play Wisconsin?

 

[HisIceness]

LSU looking good.

 

[GKJ]

Alabama used to schedule home-and-homes before they got into the neutral site games

 

[YEM]

LSU would NEVER play Miami if they had to travel to the state of Florida.

& Miami would go play LSU in Louisiana/N'Awlins?

 

[c9777666]

& Miami would go play LSU in Louisiana/N'Awlins?

If LSU agreed to it, yes.

But no- they like Bama just hide in Jerryworld.

Look what happened when LSU traveled to Lambeau to play Wisconsin.

They will NEVER leave Jerryworld. See: Oregon, 2011.
