if you were a coach... how would you approach playing against opponents that you know you will dominate? a) let's call it the Oregon approach, score 60+ before you take your starters out and humiliate the other team or b)play backups throughout the game and pretty much treat it like a scrimmage. just wondering how people feel about it. our coach uses option b. and while that's the more sportsmanlike approach, I would really love to see the 63 or 70-0 games some of these other teams have.

Yeah, Jones went mercy rule on Austin Peay last week. It made sense for UT to do it since they have a lot of young players and some uncertain starters. In general, it's kind of a pick your poison thing. If you keep starters in, you kind of look like a d*ck and run the risk of someone getting injured but you will more than likely score more points and your stars will have better stats. If you pull them, you save people from injury but will likely score less and give up more than your starters would have. AP voters will probably argue all day that they do research or whatever but at the end of the season, they are just going to look at the final scores and judge teams off those. The teams with the d*ck coaches are going to have more impressive scores. Also, any players you have in the award hunt will be down a couple touchdowns since they skipped a quarter/half against someone they would have scored on.
a) I was at Hopscotch yesterday. b) This is the college football thread. I will post here every day if I want. c) Just because your team managed to unf*ck itself for one week doesn't mean you get to get spicy with me so calm yourself.

My apologies for thinking you'd want to discuss the best win of the Titans season the day it happened. SHAME ON ME.

I will post a question regarding this in the NFL thread. Brace yourself.

So Michigan looked pretty good yesterday. Gardner is improving, he had an 80% completion rate which I haven't seen from a Michigan QB this decade, and only had one f*ck up this game, even if it was a brutal one (limply tried to throw the ball away in our own endzone for an easy pick 6 rather than take the safety). Now Michigan's cruising until we get to a tough stretch in November, but the team will have a lot of time to iron out kinks and continue to get used to running a pro-style offense with an actual pro-style quarterback. By the end of the season Gardner may be an absolute monster. The biggest problem I saw was run defense. Notre Dame didn't particularly exploit it, but someone will.
We should be 7-0 by November, but getting from there to a Conference championship, and potentially having to beat OSU twice, will be a tall order.
Finally, blasting the chicken dance over the loud speaker after the game was a quality troll move.
People have been talking about Clemson since last week. The Tigers are the new trendy pick.
Edit: Legitimate question time. I didn't catch anything from this weekend. What is the general idea people have for Clemson jumping Ohio State? They both beat up on crappy teams but at least the crappy team Ohio State beat was a FBS team.

Clemson has cooler jerseys?
That is probably true. I was thinking that it may be a combination of people liking the underdog (or in the this case, the new kid on the block) and it being simultaneously trendy for people to hate on Meyer.

Its a combination of things.
1. Clemson has become a trendy pick to make a run at the BCS. 2. The ACC was some marquee wins early on from Clemson and Miami, and Winston has thrust FSU into the spotlight early, so conference perception has changed, for now. 3. (This is the only legitimate reason) OSU has looked good, but not totally dominant (particularly against Buffalo) and the voters think Clemson is better.

1. I figured that would happen after the Georgia game for whichever team won. 2. Agreed. If the top of any conference is gaining ground so far this year, it's the ACC. Honestly, I can't help but think this is the year the SEC's streak ends. It just seems like there are too many competitors in other conferences. 3. I would agree that Clemson is probably better this year especially if Braxton Miller ends up with injury troubles. One of the reasons I asked is that the week two scores look comparable but I didn't know how each team actually looked in their victory aside from what sang_xcx mentioned about Swinney pulling the first team which means Clemson's score could have been much more lopsided.
