    As an aside, Ed Orgeron has the best voice in football.

    Must be tiring going through such emotional swings. I think I need a lie down after that and I don't support either team.

    That game was a perfect advertisement for how great college football can be.

    Lost in one game not some.
    LSU look really good, best offense in college football. Ohio State look like the real D though. Minnesota are a serious outfit too and Clemson are national Champs and are 25-0 since losing to Alabama the season before last. Swiney has taken over as the no. 1 head coach in college football imo and you'd be foolish to underestimate them.
    Alabama had a clearly injured Tua last night, different offense with him healthy I think. If they made it in and have him healthy I wouldn't bet against them.

    I thought Tua couldn't actually have done more. Bama were clearly beaten. Lucky it wasnt by 20. Tua being hurt wasn't they're issue. They got their yards.

    Did you see him losing the ball in the first quarter?

    This is the Ceedee Lamb td from yesterday, one of three for him on the night and while they were all good this one was just insane.

    His knee caused that?

    He wasn't making the end zone anyway.

    Free pint for the first 100 who turned up at the Woolshed apparently. I watched the link, was only about 10 seconds but I thought the 'Dantonio only drinks half pints' sign was good.

    Looked like he got an injury to his face as well, a game break on btn showed a staffer holding a bloodied towel to Tua's nose while helping him walk off the field

    Espn said Tua is having a hip x-ray and maybe has a broken nose

    Saban did a quick halftime on-field interview.... he came across as very cold and 'oh well' about Tua's injury. Just my read of it.

    If reports of a fractured hip are true, it might be a tragic story. Hopefully he can make a recovery.

    I posted a few times last night but clearly the android app for boards is a useless.

    Anyways, Tua is done for the season. I haven't had a chance to read up on anything today but the Minnesota head coach must be getting it after his insane decision to run onto the field. His team went for it on 4th down but didn't connect, the receiver was mauled by a defender which would have led to them getting a first and goal but when he ran onto the field it meant the penalties offset and the play counted.
    Baylor must be hurting bad after giving up a 25 point lead and possible place in the playoffs. Gotta give Jalen Hurts some kudos, he was getting badly beaten up early on and fumbled a couple of times but kept going and was the reason Oklahoma won in the end.

    Tough for Tua. Sad to see. I hope he makes a full recovery. Bama could go either way now against Auburn. They might shock people if they operate Jones as a game manager that just gives the ball to the playmakers and they rely heavily on the run. If they can hammer Auburn the committee will be tempted (rightly or wrongly).

    Overall, it was another scary weekend for Oklahoma, you'd wonder if that's a major dent in the Big 12s playoff hopes.

    It'll be nice to see Ohio State get tested in the coming weeks. I really have no idea how good they actually are at this point. Its been a painfully bad schedule so far. Michigan have picked up some steam so that could be the game we all wanted to see.

    Clemson are doing what Clemson do. The ACC is a complete joke though.

    The Pac 12 looks ok once Utah and Oregon get to the championship game undefeated. The winner will likely get a playoff spot.

    The SEC is shaping up well. Bama need a huge finish, Georgia will be a tough out for LSU and LSU just need to get consistency from the D. A lot of talk about the D performance against Ole Miss - it was painfully bad. However I do think they can pick it up when needed and they only need a few stops per game... Their offense is quite frankly a think of beauty. Its unstoppable and it will be great to see that Georgia D take it on.

    There will be a few more upsets to come as you'd expect.

    The Clemson thing is understandable but I don't think they should have been ranked outside the top four. They are national Champs and have won all their games.
    They beat Texas A and M by two touchdowns. They play South Carolina next and a 20+ point win should secure their spot.

    I think the North Carolina performance deserved to cause questions but they've righted the ship.

    Winning out is enough to get in. Plus, they're cruising right now.

    Oregon's playoff hopes dead now after losing last night to Arizona state.It looks like Alabama could sneak in now if they win the iron bowl next week.
