—Not a fan of preseason polls. People are voting solely by what they see on paper. The bigger issue is that they then dismiss what they see on the field on Week 1. Oregon was in a 56-minute fight with Idaho, but will the voters reassess? Probably not. If you believe the ESPN headline writers, Michigan rolled to a win over Fresno State. Never mind that it was a 6-point game with 10 minutes left or that Michigan iced it with an 85-yard pick-6 in the last couple of minutes. Will the Wolverines drop? Not until they get waxed by Texas on Saturday.
—Conversely, watch Miami vault in the polls. That’s not to suggest the Hurricanes weren’t impressive. One of the most dominating performances of the week.
—Georgia is Georgia.
—How long is Dabo gonna ignore the transfer portal? How long can he afford to?
—Intriguing early season SEC matchup: Tennessee at OU (Sept. 21). The Vols QB can spin it.
—Anybody check in on Shane Beamer?
—It was just a couple of seasons ago that Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire said this after a win over Texas.
Well, on Saturday night the Red Raiders beat another team from Texas: 52-51 in OT. This time it was mighty Abilene Christian. ACU had second-and-1 at the 4 in the last 15 seconds of regulation before settling for the tying FG. Tech scored its OT TD on 3rd-and-11. ACU went for the win in OT and finished with 506 passing yards.
Doubt there was any damn music in the locker room afterward.
—I wouldn’t read too much into what we saw from A&M. First game under a new coach against a top 10 team. That defense is salty, and it was a tie game with 2 minutes left. Plus, this will be arguably the toughest environment Mizzou plays in all season. Probably good it’s an 11 o’clock kickoff. Take any kind of win and get the hell out of Dodge.
—Gonna be a perfect night for football on Saturday night at Faurot. Can’t wait.
