They suuuuuure did 😕

Trevor Lawrence is just so much better than Bryant and, one assumes, will only get better over the season. Between he and Tua we might get a couple of legendary QB duels in the playoff in the next 2 seasons.

Too early to say Lawrence will be the first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, but at this point I’d be surprised if he wasn’t.

0-3 Old Dominion beat #13 Virginia Tech, because college football.

And Texas is making me wonder what “special drink” TCU must’ve been drinking last week to even have kept up with Ohio State.

[Meacon Keaton]

Sure wish @GhostMachine had made that friendly wager with me. Florida is no good but they’re looking like world beaters at the moment.

They’ll come back and win.

Oklahoma requires OT to beat Army.

[Meacon Keaton]

Speaking of OT, Stanford has come back from 24-7 deficit to take this game to overtime.

[The Buscher]

What a monumental chokejob from Oregon.

[Lint]

Some nice upsets and almost upsets this week.  If the voters really use "quality of win" as a factor, Oklahoma should fall a bit since they barely beat Army

[Meacon Keaton]

I think I counted seven teams between 13th-25th that lost so the back half of the Top 25 should definitely get a nice mix up.

[VerbalPuke]

I would think Texas would get back in the top 25 now after yesterday’s win.

Kentucky is 4-0 and absolutely gonna be ranked. Good for them!

Arkansas sucks. Go Arkansas State.

Trevor Lawrence was named the Clemson starter on Monday. Kelly Bryant announced he left the team today. He played in four games, but thanks to the new redshirt rule, he can use this year as his redshirt and enroll at a new school in Januart and play for them next Fall.

I’d love to see him go to South Carolina to stick it to Clemson, but I bet he goes to a Penn State or Oklahoma where he’ll be able to step in, (likely) start, and contend for a national title.

[The Buscher]

Lawrence is better, but Dabo did Bryant dirty.

[Meacon Keaton]

Much like Saban is still doing to Jalen Hurts. At least Bryant stepped up and left before getting screwed out of his last year of eligibility. Saban is going to play Hurts just enough to waste a year of his.

Yeah when I saw Lawrence announced as official starter I remembered the new redshirt rule and just figured Bryant would bolt, smart on him. I agree, he winds up somewhere that needs a QB to fill in on a championship contending team. Plenty of options there.

Coaches do these guys dirty all the time, making them think they can start too. Nobody is starting ahead of Tua or Lawrence, they're possibly going number 1 in 2020 and '21 respectively.

Trevor Lawrence got hurt in the 1st half and with Kelly Bryant having left the program it's up to Chase Brice to win the game. And at home that probably sounds doable, right? Well maybe not against this great Syracuse team. Tigers down 23-20 in the 4th!
