From your list, give me Oklahoma.

This is a get right game for someone. Hopefully, it's Nebraska.

I know he's redshirting, but has Kaelin saw any action at all this year? They can still play in four games and keep their shirt can't they?

The better question is what keeps DR here next year? He already has receivers who won't fight for the ball. He has an OL that at times leaks like a sieve. Does DR and his family believe in Satterfield? That's probably the most important question.

To the bolded: when Venables is given his walking papers, is there a chance we can snag him?

I learned we do a much better job of preparing for an opponent when we don't have a bye week.

With the exception of Ohio State, all the remaining games are winnable. It's possible that USC has an interim coach by the time we play them. I think some people are overlooking UCLA. Four of their five losses are to potential top 10 teams. I would feel a lot more confident if we could find a reliable kicker.

Wins are going to be tough to come by if we continue to leave 9-12 points a game off of the scoreboard due to the inability to make field goals. If they can get that fixed, we should be in most of the remaining games.

I don't know how many games we will win this year. However, if the OL keeps the QB upright we stand a punchers chance against everyone with the exception of Ohio State.

Maybe it's just me, but the first INT appeared as though it should have been considered a fumble.

Maybe it's just me, but I've always had the opinion that we would have won the NC in 95' with Matt Turman behind center. TO's offense didn't require an elite runner or thrower at QB.

I'm not sure how anyone could be confident in the bolded. CU will be one of if not the most interesting teams to watch this season. Coach Prime will either look like a mad scientist genius or a colossal failure at seasons end with what he did with his roster.

To the bolded: yes, we are comparable to the big boys. I saw a list that had us in the top 10. Unfortunately, there are two other schools in the top 10 that either are in the B1G or will be by 2024. Those two other schools are already leaps and bounds better than we are. NIL more than likely helps us rise faster, but it isn't going to be the thing that causes us to compete for a B1G title or a playoff spot. In order to compete for the top in the B1G, we are going to have to win in the trenches. Winning in the trenches is not something that is going to happen over night. Bowl eligibility is the first step. It's going to take a while to even get in the conversation of competing for the B1G. Rhule seems to be saying and doing the right things, but he is going to need some time.

The CC games are already not important. TCU didn't win their conference. Ohio State didn't win their conference. Last year, the NC didn't win their conference. Once expansion occurs, CC games need to go away. They already don't mean anything, and what's the point in playing one additional meaningless game?

When one looks at the conference records in the playoffs, it makes you wonder going forward how likely it will be for some of the conferences to even get a team into the playoffs? The SEC has completely dominated since we've had the playoffs. If it hadn't been for Clemson in a lot of those years, they might as well have filled the four slots with SEC teams. Even with expansion, it would seem the SEC will more than likely fill half the bracket.
