Is it ever not raining at Purdue home games? WL is like a black hole of dreadful weather and ugly people. 

Also ugly weather and dreadful people

^^^ Jeff Brohm coming to the realization that Purdue’s last win in the 2021 season might have happened in September.

If you’re into the transitive property - and let’s be real, it’s a great coping mechanism - Cincy putting ND in a trash can so far looks good for us.

Georgia hasn't allowed a TD in 17 of 18 quarters this season... That's insane. 

UGA and scUM both looked legit today.

I'm only buying one though...

Can someone explain the love for Oregon's QB, Brown? During the OSU game they praised him a ton. He isn't good. Like he is fine in college cause the game is so different. But every time I hear talking heads talk about Oregon they praise him. Its weird.

Cincy handling ND at South Bend and Iowa blasting Maryland  into outer space...are we bad or are we just victims of a brutal schedule?

We’re not bad, but we’re not as good as we were predicted to be or hoped we would be based on the momentum of the last two years. But if Cindy holds and Oregon doesn’t come back in the second half, and we don’t pull an upset in happy valley tonight - it’s possible (likely?? With how OK has barely scraped by WV/Neb and is struggling today against K-State) we played three of our first five games against teams in the top 5. Doubt there’s another school who can say that, so that would qualify as brutal. Still, if your aspirations are to be a top 10-20 team like IU’s were/are, you have to win at least one of those games. They’ve underperformed. But the schedule didn’t help.

I was about to say Cincinnati's kicker is gonna cost them this game. Then Ridder had one of the best drives of the year to date.

Mayer is out there hobbling on one leg. Stop putting him out there dude. Don't hurt that kid's future

Thanks, this is how I view it as well. I think we all thought (or hoped) our record season would be a stepping stone. In reality, even though we have been steadily improving, programs rarely go from low end bowl contenders to annual Rose Bowl hopes in a season. I believe we have the tools to keep the build, maybe just not as quickly as we want.

Rutgers on the receiving end of some Buckeye frustration today. Would really rather they didn’t get rolling. 

[Alford Bailey]

Gotta admit Cincy and Iowa look pretty darn good.

[KingPG21]

I'm all onCin board for Cincinnati gettomg in the CFP as long as they run the table the rest of the way. Don't put 1 loss OSU in. Don't put one loss Oregon in. I know the Big 12 voters are gonna try to push hard to make it look like Oklahoma plays in a tough conference, but they don't. Oklahoma isn't that good

I keep dropping Oklahoma in my Top 25. They haven't looked like an elite team. But at this point, I don't see any team that could keep up with Georgia and Alabama.

It's what people who don't understand football do all the time.  They think if the team wins, the qb gets all the credit.  See:  Tom Brady slurpers

Scott Frost doing what he can to save his job by running it up on the worst (?) team in the west. 56-7 over Northwestern late.
