This is a great look
I know it's a small detail, but the white piping around the numbers is really a nice touch.On another note, it appears that Utah QB Travis Wilson's football career is over due to concussion and pre-existing condition that puts him at serious risk.

This is what I like to hear
They'd likely win
You're right though it's not even trolling. FSU smashed the **** outta the good team they played (Clemson) so you can assume they will win. You have what I wish my ducks had

I'm not really sold on Clemson being all that good. The only team they played worth mentioning stomped on them.
If you changed Clemson to Oregon, your statement would look exactly the same.
Interesting.
We missed you after the Stanford game. You feelin better?

Why is Kevin Sumlin a gamble?
Does USC really want to make the same mistake West Virginia did when they hired Bill Stewart?

No you didn't, and a lot better! Thanks for asking! Colds suck!
I'd agree other than I can't find a team on Clemson's schedule to match UCLA. Otherwise, yes it is for the most part a horrid schedule (and pretty much the same) just like the rest of the top 10
They did both beat Virginia 59-10

Giving Coach O the full time gig is a huge gamble, very high risk and very low reward in my opinion. Sure the players are riding the high of having him at the helm. They love Coach O, they always have and always will. That being said do I think he's the right man for the head gig, I don't think so, even if he wins out.
I have major reservations, and hiring an interim coach long term has a high failure rate. The high wears off, and youre in the same position once again where you are hiring someone else to rebuild the program.
The program has been down since Pete left, you can even say Pete's last year was kind of "blah". Sure 2011 was great, but there's nothing to show for it since the team wasn't eligible for postseason play.
I would much prefer a coach with a proven track record, and Coach O hasn't proven himself yet, not going to take this small sample size to justify him getting the head coaching job.
The one thing we know is if Coach O does get the job and fails for the next three years is that he will leave the cupboard full for the next guy.
I don't want JDR either.

To make it more clear, Sumlin is my top choice if Ed O doesn't win out. By gamble I simply mean everybody is a gamble not named Saban and Meyer.

I would still prefer Pat Fitzgerald, maybe the tumble NW is having may make him think about leaving his alma mater. Just like his style.

Not saying that Orgeron should get the job but how y'all know he's another Bill Stewart. Stewart got that job based off one game at least O would have 7 or 8 games to make a honest judgement on him.

So NW's slide doesnt make you question his coaching?

True, true. Though I think UCLA vs Georgia would be a good game, but I have been wrong before. Though the 3 point win against Georgia is counterbalanced by a poor performances against Boston College and NC State. I mean they won, but it wasn't pretty.
I don't consider LSU all that good. Not a team you can cakewalk through, but they have yet to wow me in any way. They've had good games and bad games, good moments and bad moments, and every team has that. To me their inconsistency on both sides of the ball is enough to merit a decent rating instead of good.
Don't get that twisted, any team that lets Washington State put up 38 points is suspect as hell. Or can't put up points for 3 quarters against a defense led by a Giligan's Island extra....or doesn't seem to have much of a red zone, short yardage plan with Mariota unable to execute the zone read option.

Agreed about the UCLA talk. Our best win was against Nebraska on the road (who haven't been great recently) , but we didn't win our bowl game last year and we've looked shaky against a couple teams that we should have performed better against this year. Best hope for us is to win out and get a bowl win and hope that next year is the year for us.

That's fine but what about UGA? You can't compare them in week 1 to what they are now.

That leaves it in a tough spot though. How else can you tell how good Georgia really is? Interpolate player skill into games already played that said players were unable to play in? Use as many "what-ifs" as possible? College football already gives too few data points to really paint a picture of how good teams are, and reducing that further due to injuries, even as many as Georgia had, is rather unacceptable from an analysis standpoint.

I think he can do big things at the right program, just don't think NW is that program. He's loyal though, not a bad quality.

How about actually watching them play? Sure, it was only a couple games that UGA was mostly healthy and I'm sure the argument will be made, "Well, they lost to Clemson who I don't believe is all that good" but just watch UGA's game against Clemson & South Carolina and they aren't a much different team. Did you watch those games?
Also, I could just as easily say that UCLA doesn't have a single win I'm impressed with and they lost to the only two good teams they played or that Oregon got dominated by Stanford, UCLA was their only decent win but UCLA isn't all that good. The fact of the matter is I've only seen maybe 2.5 of UCLA's games and 3 or 4 of Oregon so I'm not qualified to accurately compare.
I get that injuries can't be factor into data and analysis from a numbers standpoint but...watch the games. Sure, it can be tough because there are always teams that play out of their mind one game or down to their competition another, look ahead to the next week, etc but if you can't see the difference in a team like UGA from week 1 or 2 to week 11, I don't know what to tell you.
This stemmed from the fact that you basically said FSU destroying Clemson isn't as significant because you don't think Clemson is that good. Like I said, that's fine...at times I agree but at the same time, we also played by far our worst game against FSU, a lot had to do with FSU just being that good but just countless mistakes and turnovers that weren't happening in other games. Tough to judge just based off of that. You said Clemson got stomped by the only team worth mentioned...that's ridiculous because at the very least UGA is a top 20 team when healthy as they were in week 1. That team DEFINITELY doesn't lose to Vandy and I'd put money on it that they beat at least 1 out of Mizzou or Auburn.
Sure, injuries happen all of the time and other teams have to deal with it too but just watching games, you can see that 3 points or not, the win against UGA was most definitely worth mentioning...and if we're just guessing or going off of numbers, I'd say better than any win UCLA or Oregon have.
