    While the format is not perfect ( James Madson or Tulane ) over higher ranked teams ) is an eyesore. No disrespect to any conference, but Strength of schedule matters as does ranking. If you're an outsider, you better have an undefeated record to get to leapfrog higher ranked teams.


    With that off my chest, we saw two 1st or 2nd round picks last night. Simpson and Mateer.



    Simpson was solid vs. a very good defense.

    Mateer now that he is healthy for the last two games threw for 300 yards or more vs quality teams; however he needs to watch the interceptions.

    Both men could use a little more seasoning if they do not opt for the 2026 draft. If thet come out, I would spend our first round pick on either of them as they are not likely to be there for us when we select in round two.

    Hell no for either in the 1st.
    Last night's game was enjoyable.

    Last night’s game was fun, and I’m enjoying the A&M vs Miami game today (still scoreless in the 3rd as I type).

    I do not see either Simpson or Mateer as 1st round QBs. Simpson may get there with more time in school. Mateer… meh.

    I picked Miami because I don’t trust A&M’s QB. Awful interception, but no damage with the missed FG.

    Carson Beck has improved his draft status the last half of the season. He has probably moved up to the second round and could get higher if he has a decent game against Ohio State.

    I got on this morning , and like 3 people were running around on here with my Avatar. I was so confused. So I just screen shot one of my guitar videos, and put it up. Don't make fun, I'm a older man. Close to 60.

    Well now that Tulane and James Madison had their doors blow off, maybe playoff format will change.

    Everyone knows they didn't belong, but I believe they can't just leave all the teams that are out of the big leagues. Even though we know they don't have a chance. They never believe it.
    Every year we see teams that shouldn't be there. Even when it was 4 games.
