- Miami is only going to go as far as Jacory Harris can take them. You know, that was a scarier sentence a couple years ago for the people rooting against the Canes. Those lobbed up chance throws he keeps tossing to the other team are going to keep this Canes team from meeting its potential.
- TCU is susceptible.
- Michigan is back. I know it was just Bowling Green, but they didn't skip a beat with Denard Robinson went down. They are are loaded with RichRod's kind of players now. Is going to be interesting to see what he can do long term with the recruiting power that being Michigan brings.
- If the NFL draft was today, Ryan Mallet would, by all rights, be the #1 overall. Oh, and Arkansas is for real.
- Ok, so who is UCLA? Are they this team? or are they this team? They have looked physical and solid the last 2 weeks, after being physically beaten by Kansas State and Stanford the first 2 weeks. Did they grow, or are they playing above their level?
- Speaking of Jekyl and Hyde. What the hell is going on with OU? 2 points against Cincinnati? I was personally figuring them to flirt with a 3 touchdown spread. This team is good, but they are over-confident and have only put 4 quarters together once this year. The Big 12 conference schedule is coming, and they will not get away with partial games when the teams that know their systems are coming to town.
- Cam Newton. Seriously, if you haven't seen this kid, you need to make time. He is a little methodical in the passing game, but is accurate, gutsy, and a ridiculous talent. Seriously, think Jamarcus Russell with Accuracy and athleticism.
- I admit that I am rooting for Boise State to get a shot, but I am not going to start on that until we have more information. I do have to give them one thing though, their defense is underrated. They did a great job containing the Rogers brothers. Their combined numbers (21 rushes/62 yards 4 catches/`6 yards 1 offensive touchdown) is the kind of performance that some very good PAC 10 defenses have been unable to reproduce.
- This just in. Georgia Tech is not good. OK, so that's not really a news flash, but it is fun to type after all the hype they got last year.
- Florida State's defense looks like it took that Oklahoma game personally. Which is absolutely should have. Wake Forest is not a great team this year, but they were still a team averaging 40+ a game and they got shut out. Miami and FSU might make that game interesting again.
- Oh, and to end, one more non-newsflash. Bill Snyder is one heck of a coach. This K-State team is growing, and if Carson Coffman can grow off his great 4th quarter performance, this team has a chance to take a big step forward. If they can't, they are in trouble, because UCF just showed the whole world how to beat them.
