Welcome back! Coaches poll is out today with many of the usual suspects in the Top 25. #6 Washington starts the season #10 Auburn. Miami also plays LSU at AT & T Stadium in Texas. Who knows what will happen with Ohio State; they also have TCU in Week 3. Wisconsin probably will be hanging out at #5 come October, but then it gets a little difficult. Northwestern has just about the best home schedule I've ever seen a Big Ten team have. 1. Alabama (61 first-place votes) 2. Clemson (3) 3. Ohio State (1) 4. Georgia 5. Oklahoma 6. Washington 7. Wisconsin 8. Miami 9. Penn State 10. Auburn 11. Notre Dame 12. Michigan State 13. Stanford 14. Michigan 15. USC 16. TCU 17. Virginia Tech 18. Mississippi State 19. Florida State 20. West Virginia 21. Texas 22. Boise State 23. UCF 24. LSU 25. Oklahoma State |

Have a friend bugging me about it, I don’t think I’ve been to a game in Evanston since 95. I know there are a bunch of bad guys involved but damn, I love college football Saturdays. |

Eh Tommy, I try not to think about it. Pretty much all entertainment is filled with flawed people. Just like life so what’s thereto do. I won’t beat myself up over it. |

Don't get the Sparty love though. He sits this year. Thorson is a senior and being projected in the top two rounds of the NFL draft (I would not project him there) so they are good at the position this year. The only thing preventing the cats from a top 20 finish is a tough schedule. |

I assume Alabama will be in it, though, even if they lose their last game and don't even make their conference championship, like last year. Alabama has a QB controversy. Jalen Hurts isn't real happy. He's just not that good throwing the ball, though. It was front-page news on the little Alabama paper I was reading this morning. In any case, I don't think Saban cares. |

Will Maryland beat Texas once again? Will Illinois run the table in early September? Will West Virginia start strong and then fold? Will Jim Harbaugh continue to be a *yawn* as a football coach? Will Auburn luck out of another intersectional opening game for the third year in a row? (Yes; no; no; yeah; no) |

What a drive by Washington. Two amazing catches. |

Heard on the Illinois game today that on a kickoff, any fair catch inside the 25 will be considered a touchback. What an odd rule. Illini, of course, caught two kicks and ran out of bounds inside their own 10. |

Illini, of course, caught two kicks and ran out of bounds inside their own 10. When you get backed up on a kickoff due to a penalty to your own 20, if you kick it out of bounds, does the other team get it at their 35 still? Seems like a good call if I'm kicking. Happened today and the Illini caught it at about the 25 and took it to midfield. |

Chip Kelly is now 3-18 in his last 21 games as a head coach. At least UCLA covered the +29.5, 49-21. |
