They are undated so obviously they deserve everything they are getting. They got smoked in both of those losses. I think they will get smoked again this year.

Me too. Georgia seems to be peaking at a good time as well. Stockton has turned out to be a pretty good QB.
I think there are five SEC, three B10, Texas Tech and maybe if they get a run of the good version of Carson Beck, Miami and probably Notre Dame that are all about the same. NIL has given each team warts that could sink them. The playoffs should be much more competitive than last year.
By who? Maybe Ohio state but I don't think anyone else has the smoking ability
a picture thread on pounding cakes would’ve been much better.

The only thing this post was missing is the gif of ChiChi hitting the ball and having it ricochet back into his nuts with the caption “Jedd Fisch on the road against literally anyone”

Canadawg is right on this one, I think. Indiana has the look of a real team. Physical running game, WR game, QB who can see over a line and throw it and isn't a pussy, a stout D. I agree also that it's psychologically hard to get over seeing the uniform but I think Indiana is tough and I would be surprised if they were smoked by anyone this year.
I also think Buck is beatable. They've had scarier teams, though that's not to suggest this one isn't good. They are missing their ground game from seasons past.
Indiana should be right there challenging for a natty at the end of the year. I think Cigaretti is a little full of himself and offputting but they seem quite for real to me.
So were Saban and Urban
I get the feeling if Judd had a great team that he'd be a smug, insufferable interview. He's a Spurrier disciple. Not many out there as wonderfully cunty as the original visor.
Indiana looks very real. Winning by 10 at Autzen is a rare true big win this season and they've been dominant outside of a couple road struggles where they still got the win.
Ohio State feels like they should easily be the best team in the nation but probably in the middle at best of the teams they've had the past 25 years. Feels like their dominance has a lot to do with the weakness of the field.

Just get to the show. No one cares that Ohio State didn't even play in the CCG last year

Superior pulled it off. I have hard time seeing Fisch trying to replicate it.
Superior was the good-looking, golden boy QB, won the Heisman, won the natty, kicks your ass in golf, fucks your wife and talks you into feeling grateful for having crossed paths with him. He was also legitimately funny. The Auburn library / coloring books and Free Shoes shit was OG smack talk.
They broke the mold after that guy.

Tom Osborne going in dry on Superior is my favorite non Husky related moment of 1990s college football. Beating Dennis and @creepycoug the year prior is #2.

Pfft.
1992 is my favorite non Husky related moments concerning Nebraska.
In 1992, the Huskers didn't cross the 50 yard line until the half was winding down and for the game, they were held to just over 80 yards rushing, total, where they'd averaged over 350 yds./game on the season. A lot of guys here are probably too you to appreciate the significance of that stat against that team at that time.
Only time I ever saw Nebraska get thrown around that completely back in those days.

Meh - winning a home game by 3 scores ain't nothing compared to the grit required to win in Lincoln against a greased up Husker. Washington already proved several years later that Dennis Erickson led 90's Cane had gone soft @creepycoug .

Yeah, you're desperately wrong here. You're young, so I'll write it off to that.
Unless you've seen, in person, the Big 8 champs, especially Nebraska, play in the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day, you just don't know what was going on there.
Miami was in complete control of the game from the first whistle to the last. Nebraska could not have beaten them if they played 10 times in 10 different zip codes. You can cite grease and zip codes all you want but when you get handled like that it just doesn't fucking matter. Miami even played a shitty game on offense with a number of their own sloppy miscues. But on defense Nebraska couldn't breathe.
'94 has nothing to do with '91.
There was nothing "meh" about that ass kicking. It was rare to physically beat Nebraska like that back then and to completely thwart their running game. Did not happen every day.

SI was and is retarded.
Bob Devaney, aka the smartest mind in college football, put it best:
From the LA Times, so you know it's true.
Blowout for Hurricanes : Orange Bowl: Top-ranked Miami makes its point with effortless 22-0 victory over Nebraska, the Cornhuskers' first shutout since 1973.
80 yards rushing, I says. And chunks of that in garbage time.
Grit and grease, indeed.
Pfft.
