Two rushing TDs. Two passing TDs. From a running back. 🌪️

Aiden Flora did it all for @CycloneFB, and his second TD pass delivered this week’s #CallOfTheWeek.

@JWcyclonestv had the call. 🔊

@ESPN_BillC @ralphDrussoATH What week does the preseason prediction usually get removed?

[Number Monkey @TheNumberMonkey]

This makes more sense than the AP poll at the moment.

[Bill Connelly @ESPN_BillC]

Because you jerks won't stop asking, here's the SP+ top 50 without any preseason projections. I'm definitely here for top-2 Utah, top-16 New Mexico, NDSU and JMU (GAMEDAY TO ALBUQUERQUE FOR UNM-NDSU, PLEASE) and top-40 Georgia State (and barely-top-50 Michigan).

The AP player of the week in college football for Week 5 of the season is @CycloneFB 's @FloraAiden. The former walk-on ran for three touchdowns and a career-high 212 yards and passed for two TDs in a 45-42 victory over West Virginia.

[SEC Numbers Guy @secnumbersguy]

Oklahoma remains the only team Michigan has beaten.

[Danny Neckel @DNeckel19]

This is the first matchup in college football history that features two unranked 4-0 or better power conference teams.

[Sporty @SportyMcSports]

AI makes it really easy to find the SEC bias. We’ve barely started conference play, so schedules have not been that different.

Look how many undefeated and 1-loss teams are ranked and not ranked by conference 🤦‍♂️

[Maverick @maverick_bet]

There’s nothing worse than the SEC fanbase losers.

Stop living off Nick Sabans success & acting like all the teams had a part in his domination.

Texas has had WAY MORE success in the SEC than they did in the Big 12 so please I’m begging y’all to stop acting like the SEC is special. It’s not.

🚨🚨HISTORIC🚨🚨

#49ERS QB BROCK PURDY HAS THE HIGHEST CAREER PASSER RATING OF ANY QUARTERBACK WITH AT LEAST 1,000 PASS ATTEMPTS.

Purdy’s 104.9 rating is ahead of Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, and every Hall of Famer.

INSANE STAT.

🤯🤯🤯

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Don't really understand why Brock Purdy doesn't get more love. Our QB model rating him so highly feels like a hot take, but he's just incredibly efficient on a game-by-game basis.

[CFB Home @CFBHome]

MOST CONSECUTIVE GAMES WITHOUT A 300-YARD PASSER, POWER 4

Iowa: EIGHTY-ONE GAMES

2nd: UCF: 36

[ESPN Insights @ESPNInsights]

Off to a hot start 🔥

Brock Purdy leads the NFL in both Total QBR (96) and completion percentage (80%) through Week 2.

Purdy has yet to throw an incomplete pass due to an over or underthrown ball.

What's going on at the places where we found rosters cost the least?

I took a closer look.

[David Ubben @davidubben]

How much did your team spend on its roster?

Our staff @TheAthletic spent months and talked to countless people inside and outside of every Power 4 program in search of the answer.

Here's what we found. Free story: https://t.co/21A5tayYyj

[Brian Fagan @bdfagan]

Remarkable statistic:

Prior to Western Michigan, college football teams were 110,352 - 0 when leading after the end of regulation, dating back to 1869.

12 weeks from tonight:

Purdue/Gonzaga (Las Vegas)
Arizona/UCLA (Las Vegas)
BYU/Ohio State (SLC)
Florida/Miami (Tampa)
Iowa State/Memphis (Sioux Falls)

[CFB Kings @CFBKings]

Tennessee: didn’t beat a single team that finished with a winning record, lost bowl to B1G team.

Missouri: didn’t beat a single team that finished with a winning record, lost bowl to ACC team.

LSU: literally 7-6, got embarrassed in their own stadium by Texas A&M, lost bowl to Big 12 team.

Alabama: Lost by 14 to 5-7 FSU, squeaked past 4-8 South Carolina, squeaked past 5-7 Auburn, lost by 21 and put up -3 rushing yards in the SECCG, lost CFP game by 35.

Unbearably brutal grind.

[Ben Hutchens @Ben_Hutchens_]

Iowa State loses Joshua Jefferson, Milan Momcilovic, Tamin Lipsey and Nate Heise and returns the second highest percentage of scoring in the Big 12.
