@DBPtheJust Same page. Not saying Neb should’ve jumped into the rankings this week. Just pointing out that one of those teams now counts as a top-15 opponent while the other’s a nobody.
Even though they’re the same team.
@Nathan_Boise@BudElliott3 Tennessee and Nebraska are the same team. Haven’t really beaten anyone, but handled business other than one close loss to a top team (IU > Texas and Neb played IU closer than Tenn played Tex, but close enough).
Neb is 1 spot ahead of Tenn in SP+, FPI
AP: Tenn 15, Neb unranked
@MeganMakinMoney This is the take.
Bringing him is awesome! Just hold him chest level or have him stand on your seat when the crowd stands.
Going shoulders is sociopathic 😂
@BeauBishop@RossBjorkAD “Michigan sucks” would be awful lol.
You could *maybe* make it work with a two syllable word, but if you really want it to sound good it’s gotta be one syllable. 100K people trying to cram three syllables into one would end up being more embarrassing than cool.
@MrOH1O I can say it’s my favorite October CFB game each year. There’s always an energy to the morning when you know Red River’s on deck. Crispy fall day, leaves turning.
I do wish they’d go back to a noon kick though. This one belongs there.
@RayJOrtega@jrs_rankings In the past, nobody ever excused themselves by saying “they have better facilities!” or “their LB coach was more personable in the living room!”
Call me old fashioned. The ubiquity of people seeking excuses instead of accountability these days, in general, just bothers me.
@RayJOrtega@jrs_rankings Of course OSU has more talent than Iowa. You’re right - that guy’s farming engagement from OSU fans.
I’m just saying talent disparity didn’t coincide with NIL, but that’s all we OSU fans hear anymore.
Not a gripe toward you. We’ve just heard “$X M roster!” 1000x in last 3 years
@RayJOrtega@jrs_rankings The roster $$ chirp is getting old.
CFB teams have always had disparate talent. NIL provides a way to quantify it, but from a talent standpoint this looked like every OSU vs. Iowa matchup since Urban took over.
This 2026 team has OSU’s lowest talent composite rank in 10 years.
@JeffreyTheGreek Miss St beat the brakes off Minn. One of the most impressive OOC showings. Aside from that, records don’t say a whole lot about how competitive these conf’s will be in postseason.
Purdue plays top-25 Wake to OT
Illinois loses late to Duke
3 mid B1G teams play ND
OSU-UT coin flip
@OhioTate Wins all around.
I haven’t followed Pollack’s CFB content for a couple years but this was a nice reminder to add him to the rotation.
Tate generates more Jeremiah discourse today.
Tate shows the internet how to be a man and own when you were mistaken.
Go Guards.
@BenAxelrod@sportsrapport No different here. Dave spent each week on the B1G���s national pregame show disparaging & recruiting against the B1G’s biggest brand. Is that good for B1G business?
Now he’s hijacking the story so he can control the narrative and make Day the bad guy instead of being accountable.
@BenAxelrod@sportsrapport Zach Smith made that rumor up on his podcast in ‘24. Dave parroted it on his platform, as if it was real, to give it legitimate traction. Then it becomes a national news story.
Dave’s had 20 years of experience finessing the internet to spread his narratives on his behalf.
@sportsrapport@stoolpresidente To Dave’s captive audience who understands his schtick, he’s hilarious. I include myself in that group.
But on the pregame show that FOX broadcasts to the FOX main audience… Dave’s vile, anti-OSU character crosses the line. It’s poor taste for that setting. Immediately obvious.
@sportsrapport@stoolpresidente Dave went on B1G’s national pregame show each week and disparaged & recruited against the B1G’s biggest brand.
Dave’s actions dug his grave. Not Dave’s rival coach whom Dave wants to take the heat for it.
Imagine if Dave was Auburn fan & this played out on Gameday 10 yrs ago…
