What about Urban Meyer, that man is a circus regardless of where he's coaching. Gonna have to buy his wife a few diamonds after the recent pictures surfaced

Meyer is finding the pro game is a different animal than college. He is getting paid an awful lot for a team that is playing so poorly. What he did between Utah, Florida and Ohio State was impressive, what he’s done with the Jags is not so far.What about Urban Meyer, that man is a circus regardless of where he's coaching.

I haven't watched any Clemson games, but I saw they had lost one and had had another close one. This may be a mixed up year.

The AP Top 25 is crazy right now. Iowa, Penn State, and Cincinnati in the Top 5, and Clemson isn't even ranked.

The SEC will always be the dominant conference. And will always have the best players due to the "Oversigning Rule" they voted in 2011. This has been instrumental in superior recruiting for the last 10-11 years. (About the time that the SEC started their dominance)
Now if you dont know what this is its the ability to over recruit (NIL) National Letters of Intent (We will use Bama as an example not that I dislike Alabama but because everyone want to play for a NC every year and Bama is the best place to do it right now) In other words they recruit and sign 25 extra players to NIL than teams in other conferences. Thats 25 more top players taken off the recruiting board so that other colleges cant sign. Bama uses tryouts and chooses the best of the recruits. Now this is the part that really irks me. On the final day they submit their given scholarships to the NCAA and 25 kids get cut that signed NIL to Alabama. What happens to these 3-4-5 star players that didnt make the cut? These are good enough players they could probably play for any D1 school. They cant go to another D1 team its too late they have to wait for next year for the next signing period or transfer opportunity to garner a spot on another D1 team or take another shot at Bama. So what happens to them?? Well Ole Nick just cuts some of them lose and they can still go to Jr College or NAIA. The best of them, Bama contacts their own network of Jr Colleges to take certain players that may be of use to them in the future. And there are always a few that are just shit outta luck. Highly ranked and recruited players that are just out in the cold and have no scholarship to play anywhere (unless they are eligible for a merit based scholarship which is unlikely) because they banked everything on Bama and didnt make it. Most of the kids are clueless. they signed a NIL that was accepted and thought they would be on the field for Bama in a year or two when they graduate from high school. They dont know about the SEC oversigning rule and their parents didnt either. The have been many stories about this and even some abuse of the rule (Les Miles at LSU and Steve Spurrier at South Carolina who thought that 25 wasnt enough and signed 32). Saban has had arguments with reporters when they bring asking if he thinks the rule is unethical it up so its a touchy subject and ESPN reporters that want to keep their jobs wont even think of bringing it up (SEC/ESPN) broadcast contracts.
The most talented players will always win. When you have more than anyone else it insures you can field a better team than the one across the sidelines. Bama started its climb by winning the 2009 NC but it wasnt until 2011 that they began to dominate and lead the nation in recruiting year after year. But oversigning is nothing new to Bama. Alabama's oversigning history dates back to the 20s a decade before the SEC was formed. In 1941, William Bradford Huie wrote an article for Colliers Weekly Magazine documenting the Crimson Tide's oversigning tactics

One of my best shared football experiences with Daddy was the day we planted the longleaf pines (behind where the house is now). It was 1/1/2000, and Florida was playing Sparty in the Citrus Bowl. After every round we had to fill the hoppers with seedlings, and we tuned the truck radio to the game. It took a lot longer to plant the field than it should have. Good times.

I turned to the Texas / Oklahoma game just in time to see Texas go 75 yards and score a touchdown on the opening play.
Turnover on a punt at the 3 yard line and another TD for Texas 2 minutes into the first quarter. Not a good start for Oklahoma. I'm rooting for Texas myself. I have nothing against Oklahoma but being an Oregon Duck fan I want all the undefeated teams to lose.

Texas is pouring it on more now. Uphill climb for your Ducks - a 1 loss team in the Pac12 needs a lot of help to have a shot at the playoffs.
I can hear my Buckeye neighbor watching right now, he’s yelling at his screen. At least the giant inflatable Brutus didn’t come out this weekend, but he’s got the Ohio State flag flying high.
