Let's start with a question:

How can the University of Houston play a game in Houston and have it be considered a neutral site?

 

[Shocky]

Ticket distribution. Pretty sure In Situations like that both schools are allocated the same number of seats.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah.....still not neutral.

 

[Shocky]

Yes and no, wouldn't be surprised if 30,000 plus Sooner fans made the road trip. When they played here a few years ago at PBS, they brought at least 10,000.

 

[klunderbunker]

I don't care if there are 60,000 Sooner fans there. The University of Houston playing in Houston isn't a neutral site game.

I just checked on a map and can confirm that Houston is in the same place as Houston.

KB is on to something here.

After last night I'm damn near ashamed to be a USC fan. That performance was dreadful, to say the least. You get a premier opponent for your season opener, and this is what you put on display? It's gonna be a long season.

One helluva a fun game to watch coming out of Texas.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

Right now millions of ND fans are sitting in bed trying to think of a competent argument as to why their team still belongs in the playoff.

Notre Dame ranks #2 in my personal most despised programs. Not so much because of the actual program the overly annoying fan base. It is just so easy not to like those SOBs. To the teams credit they are good. Certainly need to tweak that D. Taking a big L is week one isn't a major obstacle to overcome. They could bounce back and make a play off run.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

It took me almost all day to find this. Very appropriate to my feelings last night.

-- Tennessee is the most overrated team ever.

-- Can they give the SEC to Alabama? No one is even close to them.

-- Jalen Hurts is probably going to win the QB competition, but I wouldn't count out Blake Barnett yet.

-- Ohio State/Michigan and Clemson/Florida State are going to be really good games and probably decide playoff spots.

-- Ole Miss had the worst quarter of any team ever. 4 yards, 3 TO, outscored 23-0. Wow...

-- Unless LSU somehow goes 10-1 or 11-0 the rest of the season, Les Miles is done.

-- That was a bad decision from Notre Dame to not start DeShone Kizer. I think he's a sleeper for the Heisman trophy.

-- Oklahoma chokes every year anyways. May as well get it over with early.

-- Finally there are a lot of disappointed MS State fans where I live. Can't blame them since they lost to South Alabama.

 

[Shocky]

Louisville, that's all.

 

[rbv13]

Where Louisville jump to in the polls? Obviously FSU takes a dive but nearly every other team looked good. I'll say at least 7. Maybe 6.

 

[Shocky]

Louisville should be #1, but Bama gets the nod.

I'd rank them
1. Bama
2. UofL
3. OSU
4. Houston
5. Clemson

 

[rbv13]

You were close. I know UofL is good but that jump to three shocked me a bit.
