FSU throttling 'Bama. 

Kalen DeBoer gonna have to kick it up a notch if he wants to last more than 2-3 years in Tuscaloosa.

Ok, someone take me through the Arch Manning generational talent thing. Putting aside that this is a 1st start in a tough environment, what my fan-level eye sees is a kid with good size and a nice frame, quick feet and good movement, plus overall athleticism, good but not special arm strength, a compact but not lightning quick release, not naturally accurate and looks to be processing what he’s seeing pretty slowly. Yeah, he’ll get better on some of that with experience and maturity, but if his name is Arch Martin is he a thing? 

I’m not sure many people besides the ESPN/SEC numbnuts think he’s a generational talent. I heard one guy on Kanells show say Friday that he didn’t think Arch was the best QB in his class. 
 

With that said…pedigree and athleticism matter. He’s a RS sophomore in his first start in probably the worst place you could be. He over thought things but looked better when the chips were down and he just played. His last play didn’t get the first down but taking on an unblocked defender and completing the throw with a guy hanging off him was a big time play. If he settles in and plays on instinct a little more he might still end up being a top QB this year. 
 

What I took away from the game was Texas’s much touted and ultra expensive roster was just…ok. They didn’t look like they had anything on OSU. There’s probably a half dozen teams with equal talent.

It won't.

Finebaum, probably: "It's not SEC but still a quality loss for Texas/'Bama, pretty much as good as a win. I'm going to ink them into the CFP."

As hokey as "Hoosier the Bison" is, at least he managed to keep his head.

The SEC talking heads are insufferable. SEC tries to stack their collective decks and they still suck.

I am jealous of how entertaining Clemson's entrance is.

When the Tigers meet the Tigers in Death Valley, you just never know what's gonna happen.

Here’s to Clemson beating lsu so finebaum’s head explodes

I paid a lot of money, but it was WELL worth it, for the proprietary Paul Finebaum  playoff calculator.

Not sure if I can legally share this but, after the Bama loss, the Finebaumator has the Tide going from #8 to #3 in the country. I personally think, since they are member of the SEC, Bama should be #2 after the loss but I trust the Finebaumator.

Arch sucks, Bama loses in pretty convincing fashion and LSU goes down? He might light himself on fire live on the SEC Network.

It's the way it is in 2025 but following tweets providing various game updates on X is hilarious.    John Doe transfer from Old U. just scored for New U.   It's comical the number that reference the player having played elsewhere.

This LSU/clemson game has been good so far.

Yea, I can’t keep up and don’t even try. Hell, I’ll be learning a couple basketball players names still by December and there’s only a dozen of them.

UCLA taking their lumps against Utah.  Senseri’s offensive play calling hasn’t been too effective.  Bruins have 40 yards of offense starting second quarter.
