I also don't think Baylor and UCLA are top ten teams. Baylor hasn't played anyone yet and UCLA has barely won against the average 6-6 type teams they've played so far. Missouri also hasn't played anyone and their OOC (outside of UCF which lost a lot) is a joke but they're not as inflated as the others. Mississippi State is more deserving of the top 25 than UNC is IMO. We'll see next week though.

Yea they did not look good at all. It's the same thing that happened with the Trojans - the media loves them and inflates their ranking. They need to lose and with the schedule they've got it will be soon

1. Florida State 2. Alabama 3. Oregon 4. Oklahoma 5. Auburn 6. Baylor 7. Texas A&M 8. LSU 9. Notre Dame 10. UCLA 11. Michigan State 12. Ole Miss 13. Arizona State 14. Georgia 15. Stanford 16. South Carolina 17. Wisconsin 18. Ohio State 19. Missouri 20. Kansas State 21. Southern California 22. Nebraska 23. BYU 24. Clemson 25. North Carolina

Gifs and youtube videos seem a little excessive. They take up a disproportionate amount of page space in a thread and slow loading times. I also can't imagine that they're good for HB's bandwith.

Thanks, what I like the most about it is how fans and their message boards can be so similar to one another. With the exception of one school (Minnesota, where fans were more or less apathetic) the posts could be copied and pasted with a few slight changes. It's the same story everywhere. Melts are melts.

TCU 30, Minnesota 7 This game hurts, I expected a loss but not this bad. Just embarrassing. Maybe a knee jerk reaction, but probably not. I feel this game set us back at least 2 years. We continue to be bottom feeders, the bright side though, is even bottom feeders can be 8ish win teams in the big ten. So our offense has been attrocious. Jerry Kill...is he the right guy? I know Minnesota is an after through for football and we have not been relevant for 50+ years but are we ok with being average every year. Waving the white flag before halftime down 24-0 is concerning...punting on 4th and 1 with 51 seconds left down 23 is a joke (I know game was out of hand at that time) Does TCU make the playoff? I say yes they are 1 of 4 teams. Kill is a great guy, but I don't think he's a great coach. He is too loyal to his ways and his coaches. Limegrover is terrible, and you have to just blame Kill for entrusting a Big Ten offense to Limegrover. As a head coach, you also have to be a great leader and be able to make the touch decisions... such as getting a new OC. The only positive thing about the Gophers’ 30-7 loss to Texas Christian on Saturday was the fact that the Maroon and Gold outscored the home team 7-6 in the second half because they didn’t turn the ball over five times like they did in the first half, a big reason for the Horned Frogs’ 24-0 halftime lead. Why did we mail it in at the end of the first half? The TCU fans that we were sitting by were laughing at us, saying it seemed like a defeatist decision. Kill throws in the towel when things are going like they did today. I hate that. Mason used to do that sometimes, too. It signals lack of confidence. The towel would be the only thing we successfully threw the whole game. Playing to keep the blow out manageable? 24-0 is better then 31-0 Why take the risk???? LINK F*** Adrian Peterson. F*** this school. F*** this stupid game. F*** our state for having heartbreaking sports. F*** me for getting my hopes up every goddamn time. F*** F*** F*** F*** F***. Worst half of football I've seen from gophers under Kill. Boo this team. Good lord. This is so terrible. It's still a 4 possession game. Here we come... Classic Minnesota Make it stop please. LINK Iowa State 20, Iowa 17 Remember when I said a few years ago... Reply That I knew several other COLLEGE football coaches, and that was KF was considered a laughing stock among those peers. I got absolutely destroyed at the time for making that honest and accurate assessment. I wasn't lying folks. Honestly, what do you think other college coaches think of him? They know he has the worst schemes, even worst game day tactics, and that he basically has no clue what he is doing anymore in the classroom and on the field. This is how MANY others in college coaching have been viewing the man for years now. Welcome aboard to what his peers were seeing long ago. Pitt in 08 was when the cracks started to show. Unfortunately, save one year, It has been an absolute wreck ever since!! PLAY CALLING WAS HORRENDOUS RB'S HAVE NO VISION WR'S WERE GARBAGE. CAN'T CATCH OR GET OPEN. We are horrible. We should be 0-3 Pretty clear we are TERRIBLE, really really TERRIBLE! Hard for me to melt down when Ferentz and staff have driven me into apathy Hawks are bad and the coaching is bad I saw a more sophisticated offense ran in a 5th and 6th grade pop warner game last week. Seriously Unless something drastic happens in the next week, I believe it is going to be ugly! This OFFENSE is lousy, that much is certain. The #1 Reason will always be Kirk Ferentz, take your pick for Reason #2. Ferentz is LOST He has no clue how to get his ship back on track. He truly believes if they keep doing the same things from years past it will work again. This isn't smash mouth football from 50 years ago. I honestly feel bad for the guy but he needs to leave. Iowa hasn't won the B1G since 2004 With the exception of 2009, every year since then has had a lot of question marks. Kirks way is stale and I think it is time to part ways which would probably be best for all parties before this gets too ugly. My concern is kirk is too stubborn to step down. stop going to games That is what it took for basketball. Need to do it for football. Bielema or Mike Stoops would be the shot of adrenaline this program needs Its glaringly obvious watching these other games Just how pathetic our coaching staff has become. After today's game I figured the Hawks could possibly beat Indiana, Minny, and Purdue. After watching the Purdue Notre Dame game I'm thinking maybe Indiana and Minny..... Ferentz: Worst Gameday Coach in College Football He's become an absolute embarrassment to this program and fanbase. We may not even be bowl eligible! I Think we get piss-pounded next week at Pitt. Iowa just isn't a very good football team. Not much else to say. LINK

Week Three Virginia 23, (#21) Louisville 21 Rushing the field, coach is crying, and I'm embarrassed! Charlie Strong left us crap on the offensive side of the ball. Teddy and DeVante are no longer here to hide how bad the staff left this side of the ball. I can count on one hand offensive players who are worth a damn. This was VIRGINIA.....2-10 last year. Middle of the pack in the ACC? They were 0-8 in the ACC last year. Virginia hasn't won an ACC game since 2011. Virginia will not go to a bowl and if they happen to it will be one of those 6-6 bowls, they are not very good. The bottom line is we laid a huge 'ole egg yesterday. Is the national title dream still alive? Got a lot of work to do If we want to have a successful season smh Not off to a very good start unfortunately. There's always next year. LINK Not enough bourbon in both Commonwealths to drink that game away. We just plain did not deserve to win. We were outplayed by them. Neither team has any toes left after so many shots to the foot. Louisville's muffed punt though, we blew our whole leg off. Are you f***ing kidding me?! LINK East Carolina 28, (#17) Virginia Tech 21 Why is this happening to me Our teams are not consistent, they don't not have a scorers mentality. Beamers style of football will not win in today's college football. As O & M said, wake me up when Beamer retires. Same old crap. It was a deplorable effort today this kind of loss keeps happening..the team coming out unprepared or seemingly disinterested..that needs to change All game....I had no idea what the offensive game plan was.Pounding head against the table hurts after awhile. I guess what I don't understand is that aside from losing big games, this type of game is what we are known for. I don't know how after 26 years you can't figure out a way to keep your team focused after gaining some momentum and beat a team you should be able to beat. Humbling and embarrassing. We Boise Stated this game. This is going to be a wild, unpredictable, stressful season. This is why we can't have nice things.... No excuse to lose at home. LINK This has happened year after year! There is no excuse for this, the coaching staff should have them better prepared, and this has occurred over and over again! It is time for Beamer and the coaching staff to retire, and and reduce the team to the current freshman class in hopes of removing the contamination! I do not say this easily, I have supported the Hokies since I became one and been a Beamer fan since he started. But enough is enough. No more snatching defeat from the jaws of victory! LINK You would think that when every single fan in the country predicts a trap game, it wouldn't actually be a trap game. F**k. I hate sports. Wait, I thought our season ended when we beat Ohio State for the national championship That was he most virginia tech game to ever virginia tech. these last two weeks were classic Beamer/tech. We knew this would be a letdown game and it still happened. I would have bet the house on ECU today. This is what I expect as a tech fan. Beamer is one giant letdown after another. Me personally? I'm sick of it. Blacksburg as a whole? They're probably fine if we get close to the acc champ. I want to win it all. Kill me. LINK (#24) South Carolina 38, (#6) Georgia 35 We are GA and we will find a way to f**k up when we play in Columbia. Pretty simple.... welcome to Georgia sports we hope you like taking in tha a** sans lube Spurrier owns us plain and simple What will the excuse be next year? I hope i get to see uga play a complete game on both sides of the ball before i die. we aren't winning out. Back to back road trips halfway across the country will result in at least one loss (probably 2 if our defense doesn't grow up QUICK) and we can't beat auburn right now....or Florida and will probably struggle against UT and Tech.... Lost 4 out of last 5 to Spurrier Just threw up in my mouth when I saw this statistic. Plain and simple. The Old Ball Sack owns us. Mason isn't anything more than a warm body that knows the offense. This team isn't running the table. If we lose anymore conf games say byebye to the east and off to the blue water cakes toilet bowl we go I think the most depressing thing about all this bulls**t is that most of us reality folks knew this sh#t was coming and did....have to wonder if it was a self-fulfilling prophecy. I just think the problem is UGA fans are simply tainted. It didn't surprise me at all that we lost...AND THAT'S THE F***ING PROBLEM...people wonder why UGA gets such a bad rep with no respect...I'm not one of them. I know it's a long season but the fact that I just knew we would lose is the most depressing part Boys, we're used to it I've been heart broken before I've been mad before I've wondered why before. This time? Eh, been there and done that. Didn't feel good before and well don't feel good now. Oh well. Go Dawgs. Let's go get drunk. Thanks Bobo. And eat a d**k Richt. F*** Mike Bobo and F***Mark Richt 2 weeks to prepare and we get our S**t pushed in like this? Play zone all night and let them play pitch and catch all night? F***ing Bobo with the bull S*** long developing plays trying to be all cute. 1st and goal from the 4 and we dont run gurley. F***k bobo. F***ing waste a time out when you need it on a useless challenge. F***k this team. Sucks to send Gurley to the NFL not winning anything with that kind of talent If UGA can't beat this South Carolina team, they aren't beating Auburn, Alabama, LSU, or Texas A&M. So I guess we have to hope that Moo State somehow wins the West, and Carolina loses again. oh to bea Georgua sports fan...fml Like you said. We are what we are. We are a 1, 2 or 3 loss team. Sometimes more. We are all the excuses like our QB, our O Line our defense and on and on. Meanwhile Alabama, LSU and even Auburn reload just about every year and they achieve greatness. LINK Boston College 37, (#9) Southern Cal 31 This is all on the coaching staff and it started long before this game. Thoroughly out-coached in all three phases What a difference a week makes. Wow. They looked like they hadn't seen any film of this team. One of the worst losses I can remember. Sarks play calling pathetic. Maybe the worst USC defense I've ever seen, and I've been watching for longer than I'd like to admit. The worst part is that you could see this happening early in the 2nd quarter, but nothing was done differently until 4 minutes left in the game. This is why Sark has a .500 record. This is why we shouldn't have hired an unproven coach for millions of dollars. Sark is terrible!!!! I have been reading how good it is for the last three weeks and could've believe we had this many irrational fans. Unfortunately, we are not that good of a team. Down vote me all you like Sark is not a very good coach. I was surprised PH hired him. He won 7-8 games every year at Udub and that warranted a prestigious job like USC? It's been ten years since the Reggie Bush years. The glorious time is a distant memory. I'm just hoping we go to a bowl game now. Because if I'm playing USC I run right at them every play with both the QB and RB. USC has no answer. The sky is falling on this board. Gonna be a long 2 weeks. This is a team that is going to be very good for a long time. Feels like we are regressing. All mentions of taking the Pac 12 crown (much less getting playoffs) should probably stop. We lucked the hell out winning the Furd game last week when we easily could have (should have) been boat raced by 2+ TDs.. Thankfully Shaw went LK mode in the red zone. And sorry to be a downer... but we just got pimp slapped by a crappy ACC team that (just a week ago) gave up 300+ rushing yards.... and made a QB who was benched on a 3-9 UF team look like Mike Vick in his prime. LINK I'd Like To Believe This Is Like A Loss In 2003. USC was on the rise with Pete Carroll at the helm. The prior year the Trojans surprised everyone with a great season, They were selected to play in the Orange Bowl and soundly defeated a good Iowa team. They looked good in their first three games of the season and were on the road against the Cal Bears who were a huge underdog. USC looked terrible early and fell behind by a huge margin and staged a valiant comeback but came up short in triple overtime That season the Trojans won the remainder of their games and finished number one in both the AP and Coaches Poll however due to BCS computer crap they were not selected to play in the BCS title game. Unfortunately, that game with Cal was very different than the debacle witnessed on ESPN against the Eagles. Against Cal the Trojans started sloppy with turnovers and overall poor play. Adjustments were made by the coaching staff and USC nearly snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Tonight there were no sloppy turnovers by USC. In fact the Trojans grabbed an early 10-0 lead and looked well on their way to an easy victory. This game was not lost by turnovers deep in Trojan territory. This game was lost by something worse. It was lost by terrible coaching on the offensive side of the ball in the form of failure to make obvious adjustments. It was clear BC had stopped the Trojan running game but was unable to stop the pass. For some crazy reason the running game continued on first and second downs until the waning minutes of the 4th quarter when someone woke up and decided all to late to exploit the opponent's weakness. Sadly, trying to see the bright side by comparing this defeat to a loss to a different underdog 11 years ago is not possible. Eleven years ago that USC team was well coached and as evidenced this evening, this USC team lacks good coaching. Where to now, Coach? We hammered the on sand two holes. Gained all of 40 yards.BC out thunk us, our best in th elation defense given yup nearly 500 yard rushing. Is this our Trojan best we can do? Please lead us out of a nightmare potential of a season. JUST STOP. I'M SICK OF THE SUNSHINE PUMPING, IT ENDS HERE. What we seen tonight is what we have to look forward to. The writing didn't start at Stanford, it started when Fresno State was running all over us. I didn't want to believe it, but I knew our defense was soft right from the jump, they play nothing like they did last year. Wilcox is SORRY, HE SUCKS. You guys can put on your cardinal and gold glasses all you want, but this is the Kiffin era all over again on Offense and Defense. That's and overstatement, Kiffin was TWICE the offensive play caller Sark is and Kiffin SUCKED. Wilcox's sorry for nothing defensive scheme, OMFG. HE IS SOFT, OUR DLINE COACH IS SOFT TOO. OUR ENTIRE STAFF IS SOFT SAVE THE WR AND DB COACHES. FIRE SARK NOW Haden is so mistaken for hiring this idiot out of Washington. Hiring him over Chris Petersen was an unforgivable travesty on the part of Pat Haden. I honestly haven't watched a single game this season because I have been so depressed over this hire. I know this will be an 8-5 team year after year until the stink of Sark is gone. We had a chance to get a great coach for years to come, and instead we settled for a retread Trojan who defines mediocrity. Just so friggin sad. goodbye guysI saw some PC teams lose some bad games, but nothing like this...the top ranked D line in the country giving up 400 yds rushing to a no name team pretty much MAC level..just beyond belief...not even sure how to respond...this game will make BC famous for years...no explanation at all for this. sark needs to be fired. good luck rest of the year my friends. I know some of you are going to post goodbye fairweather fan..I am just too tired of watching BS like this LINK More to follow

I'd love to make this weekly, I'll do my best at updating it and I encourage you guys to post melts you see. This could be fun.

Ok, not quite "melts" but if you enjoy the misery of others this is the thread for you: BYU 41, Texas 7 Rock bottom was the 2012 OU game. We are still hanging out down here near the bottom. I think it's pretty clear at this point now, we can concede aggy and baylor have passed us up. I thought at the time we made a mistake staying in the Big 12. It excites no one, young men with stars by their name included. Add on top that we haven't had a offensive identity worthy of the name in years when that's the biggest single selling point in college football right now. We basically have no cache in the minds of current recruits, and $$% like tonight doesn't help We haven't hit rock bottom yet because we haven't faced the best teams on our schedule yet. We still have OU and Baylor to play. It's going to get worse before it gets better. I doubt our Veruca Salt fan base will Charlie the time he needs to right the ship because he's not Saban or Harbaugh or the other pie in the sky candidates "we should've gotten" because WE'RE TEXAS DAMMIT. WE DESERVE WHATEVER WE WANT BECAUSE WE INVENTED FOOTBALL. Tonight is what we deserved because the $#@!ing $#@!sucker who put us into this position was asleep at the wheel for 4 years. He coasted for four $#@!ing years recruiting safe picks like Tyrone Swoopes and Case McCoy. There's absolutely no reason why Texas shouldn't be like Baylor and be able to sub in a QB worth a $#@! at a moments notice. But we are because of one man, $#@! YOU MACK BROWN. And now Charlie will have to get his ass handed to him because he can't magically fall into a Johnny Football situation. God, I hate our fan base. That was a complete $#@!ing embarrassment. $#@!ing pathetic on all counts. Source [prediction for season record:] 4-8. It won't be close to last year. 1st we are just butt dumb stupid. So many mistakes. Stupid mental mistakes. Quit running the ball out of the end zone. Just stop. Horrible play calling since the 1st quarter. We got totally owned. 40-7 or something like that will be the final. More embarrassing then last year. Very disturbed with the loss last night like most fans. Although I didn't agree with the coaching change here but I have supported the move due to my loyalty to the University. We should NEVER get pantsed at home like we did last night. As others have alluded to our recruiting has been pretty good. I will continue to support my team but I hope we make big changes or we are in major trouble Source What's the excuse we're going to use now? Blame this year on Mack? we could be looking at a 4 win season, and thats not even worst case. The game got a lot better when I turned off the audio, turned on some Johnny Cash, and broke out the good scotch. Well, we finally have a playoff system now for college football. Perhaps next should the implementation of a mercy rule. There should be no such thing as a rebuilding year at UT. This level of play is not only unacceptable for Texas Football, it shouldn't even be an option. Did not realize we were still this bad Great the announcer made a Brazil Germany reference This is gonna be a LOONNNGGGGGGGG year. Source Virginia Tech 35, Ohio State 21 After starting out 24-0, Urban Meyer is now 1-3 in his last four games at Ohio State. "They did something we didn't prepare for" translation- we got outcoached I'm rewatching it. The Bucks got out coached.For the third time in four games... Ohio State wasn't in a position to take anything for themselves though. VT may or may not have been a quality opponent for Ohio State, the rest of the season will tell us that. Question for you might be, was Ohio State a quality opponent for VT. We have been out coached in 3 of the past 4 games. ...arguably 4 of 5. Too much reliance on Braxtons athleticism and not developing other players Tonight it was evident. Just a major disappointment. It is what it is but at least we get to kick the [Mark May] out of Kent State and feel like world beaters again next week I expected BIG things this year regardless of the inexperience but I am sobered up now and have stopped drinking the cool aid. 10-2? Ehhhhhhh...This is one of those rare (for us) one week at a time seasons. It's a transition year. If we were to get to 8-4 with a decent bowl, I'll be happy. Source If you were thinking championship this year I know you were just dreaming..lets get real. Losing to a sorry @ss VT team who hasn't beat a ranked opponent in like 50 years, at home...unacceptable This team with Braxton wasn't going to do anything. The coaching is completely clueless, the oline can't block, the running backs and running plays lose yards, the receivers can't get open, no separation and they can't catch. The only good thing is the B1G is at the same level as the MAC and we could still win the conference. did you really expect us to lose to VT at HOME by 2 TDs? Against MSU, maybe but ranked VT?? Source (Various) So does Urban's Seat get hot?! I know he has a great B1G record, but we should beat an unranked ACC team everytime with the way he's recruited. Our vaunted speed backs and d-line completely dissappeared tonight. How about our wideouts with all that speed. Sorry, just very upset I guess. I think Urban's seat is warm. He doesn't have one signature win as the Buckeye head coach. His most important win so far was the one point victory in East Lansing his first year. Hardly epic. If we don't win an important bowl game this year or beat an SEC team in a bowl, he's got one more year to show something or, if he shuffles the staff, maybe two. As a program, I'm embarrassed at our last 2 losses. Those are 2 programs who usually fold like a cheap chair but against us look stellar and spectacular. Losses 3 out of last 4.....to MSU, Clemson and VaTech to boot. Mot bad teams to be sure but not elite. Meyer probably only wants to be here 8-10 years. Hebetter start firing the bad coaches and hiring good ones if he wants to be remembered as one of the greats at OSU Source Notre Dame 31, Michigan 0 So who is the next coach going to be? Anybody you want outside of Harbaugh or Miles? I see no way that a current head coach would want to come to Michigan. Can't be an attractive destination to anyone who cares about their reputation. The only benefit is that Brandon would pay an obscene amount for an average coach. Probably get some coordinator. Maybe Nuss is the best we can do and he just led us to our first shutout in 30 years. first time in my life I'm thinking about cheering for osu ....just to keep the BIG's nose above water ..., It'd be different if we were actually good. If we had any shot at being a good team, The B1G blows, and Michigan is a middle of the road B1G program. What does that tell you about how far we are from actually being good? We just got shutout 37-0 by an average ND team, who may not win more than 7 games this year. Dude it's over. I hate to make this comparison but winning the big ten this year is literally like winning the special olympics. If any team (I'm expecting it to be MSU) wins this conference the chances they get picked for the playoff are slim to none. There is no way in hell we are winning this garbage conference this year. I said this earlier (after the Iowa and Purdue etc games) "If Hoke doesn't win 10 games this year in this garbage conference that makes us garbage for losing to garbage.'' And it's true. I didn't even have any idea what was coming later on in the day. We. Are. Garbage. Source If Hoke REALLY loved Michigan football....He'd step aside when the time is right, and a suitable replacement is found. Its not like the cupboard is empty for the next regime. Just sayin, Id roll the dice myself, before the ND game, I wouldnt have, but now, no question. It sucks that we have become Indiana. On the worst overall performance I have EVER witnessed in my 37 years on this planet. No effort, no heart, no emotion, and yes, no headset. You surpassed even the worst that I saw come from the RR camp, by far. You are soft, your staff is soft, which rubs off on your team. Thanks for the most embarrassing loss on National TV I have ever sat through. What an absolute joke of a performance. Just a total train wreck. I cant think of our next win on our schedule. There have been 6 home games since 1992 (Colorado in 1994, Virginia in 1995, Wisconsin in 1998, App State in 2007, UConn in 2010 and EMU in 2011) where I have not been in attendance. Saturdays to me are supposed to be about Michigan football. This is the first time in 23 seasons as a ticketholder that I'm strongly considering bagging out on the season. Were we the only BIG team not to score yesterday? Friggin awesome! I just checked, Yep Source How irrelevant will we become??? Without the homer blinders, I think its pretty obvious that we are slipping in the cfb world. Our conference is weak and we haven't been respected as a program for a decade plus. Michigan is quickly becoming a skeleton of what it once was. How far does this go? We got our asses kicked tonight and I there are still no answers! At what point do we ask if we have lost the ability to be a dominant force in cfb year in and year out? We. Are. Pathetic. Hoke Is......completely obese and worthless. I hate when I am already looking forward to next season and it's only September. Sadly this is becoming routine. For all the talk of camaraderie, growth, improvement, aggression, etc - this is the same team of losers I've been watching since the Carr era ended. Source

I feel like there's a Christmas in July type joke to be had. New Year's Day in September?

Not a bad top 10, can't really argue with any of it because it's just so early. I too think FSU is overrated. Every team looks beatable ATM.

Wisconsin handled business. Your win meant nothing, like ours. I disagree and it's part of the problem with playing an FCS team. If you destroy them then good, you were supposed to. If you do anything less than win by four TD's then you failed and it's a negative.

How? One bad day... all you people need to chill. Ohio State is tied, by the way. They'll take care of business. They've taken it to VT. How? More like a bad decade. This season is probably the basement, it has to be. No where else to go but up. If you're referring to Hoke I'm not sure what he has to hang his hat on, a BCS bowl win three years ago by a hair over an ACC team? Each season has been worse than the last at UM and this one looks like it will be nasty. The one consolation we can all take from this is that we're soon heading into conference play and it won't be as painful. I mean, when we all suck it doesn't show as much.

Wisconsin handled business.

Fred Flintstone has got to be done at UM. I've never seen the conference this weak top to bottom.

It's the Wisconsin way. They do this a lot in big games......and they lose those big games. See every Rose Bowl loss they've had. They dominate on the ground and are winning, then they stop running and they end up losing. That's the correct answer. This was similar to the TCU RB in many ways. We had more than a shot to win but we played to their strengths (speed) by running to the outside then passing. So stupid.

Going well so far.
