With many teams/conferences withdrawing from competition this year, it's going to be an interesting race to the top. My bold prediction? Army is the only team to play enough games to be eligible for a bowl and wins the National Championship by default.
Army shut out Middle Tennessee, Navy got destroyed by BYU, and Air Force is too scared to play anybody other than the other academies. Who'd you watch this weekend?
This KSU catz game has turned into a turd of more than epic proportions.
reminds me of the Cats games I went to in Manhattan in the late 70's as a kid.
Nebraska up by 60 with 2 min to go in the 3rd, letting the waterguy play qb. [Reply]
I think this QB class is a little overrated, but Lawrence = Goff and Fields is regressing because he had a bad game?
Fields wasn't that impressive last year. He had a nice start but choking against zone?! Damn, Haskins ate that up and Haskins was not a 1st round pick for me.
I'll wait to see more games before final evaluation but today raised red flags.

"This morning we received notification that Coach Saban tested positive for COVID-19. He has very mild symptoms, so this test will not be categorized as a potential false positive. He will follow all appropriate guidelines and isolate at home," the program said in a statement.
This is the second time this season that Saban has tested positive for COVID-19. He previously tested positive before Alabama's game against Georgia but was asymptomatic. Saban was eventually cleared to coach the game against the Bulldogs after testing negative three times, indicating the initial test was likely a false positive.
Alabama's statement suggests things will be different this time around, which means the Crimson Tide will be coached from the sideline by someone other than Saban as they seek revenge Saturday for last year's loss to Auburn. The program's succession plan before the Georgia game called for offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian to take an elevated role while Saban was out after testing positive for COVID-19.
The Crimson Tide will presumably follow a similar plan this time around, though specifics have not been released about how the staff will adjust in Saban's absence. Saban, who turned 69 last month, continued to work from home after testing positive for COVID-19 the first time.
