Pretty boring debut for Muschamp, Weis, and Quinn. Gators didn't overwhelm but played well. Nothing fancy or creative shown. Still concerned with Brantley's inability to throw down field with consistency and concerned with the O-line's ability to have a solid rushing attack down the center. No real blitzing done so I'm unsure how the D's pressure is going to be this year. Played mostly soft coverage so the pass D is impossible to judge yet.

Basically, I didn't get many answers for how UF should perform this year. I did sit close enough to listen to Muschamp blow up at the Defense for a botched coverage though, and that was pretty awesome.

What the hell was Maryland doing with their uniforms tonight? I mean, I get that they were presumably paying tribute to Maryland's state flag, which is an aggressively hideous starting point to work with. But holy jeez, you should not be sporting uniforms that are worse than the "I will actively attempt to generate the most hideous jerseys known to man!" offerings I create in every random football video game I touch.

Don't know the legitimacy of this, but apparently Texas A&M will officially announce they will accept a move to the SEC tomorrow, with it retroactively starting next season. Like I said, don't know the status of this, but if it's true, I think we're witnessing the start of the next set of dominoes to fall towards conference realignment.

This also has led to wild rumors that Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State will leave for the Pac-12, and turn it into a Pac-16 super-conference. There would have to be some things ironed out(such as the Longhorn Network, as the Pac-12 won't allow one school to have their own network, meaning it'd likely be rolled back and paired with Texas Tech), probably fees for leaving, and all that. Oklahoma has said they could leave without Texas, and both them and A&M could possibly end their rivalries with the Longhorns. That would just be stupid...

My desire has been that the Big 12 would survive, but that's all but impossible now. A&M's about to send the death blow to the Big 12 conference, leaving everyone else to scatter. Once A&M announces they're leaving, I don't see the conference existing after this season.

Well, they were unanimously accepted, with some complications of course about the move. But now the SEC is looking for a 14th team, with Missouri, West Virginia, and North Carolina in the running.

Alabama's game was meh, very very meh. Overall unimpressed by the offense and the defense was very stout (possibly the best Saban's ever had) but the offensive woes just really hit me. FIVE turnovers? We can't play Penn State and win with FIVE TURNOVERS.

I think this game this Saturday is going to be ugly. A lot of punts, a lot of defensive stops. If Alabama wins (which is doubtful if they play like they did last Saturday) it's gonna be a score like 20-16.

As far as Auburn goes... lol. Mississippi State is going to curbstomp them. Utah State is simply not a good team (don't even throw the "They almost beat Oklahoma!" BS at me, because they also lost to teams like Fresno State and Idaho) and they needed a miracle to win it. State had 600+ yards of offense, 300+ on ground and 300+ through the air. Very balanced, very methodical, and honestly they could've put up way more points and yards against Memphis. This Saturday won't even be a game.

As a lifelong KU fan, I'm 100% ok with going to the Big East. Regardless of the Big 12's whining, keeping TA&M in for another year is only delaying the inevitable superconference realignment and playoff system.

Speaking of Kansas, good luck against my Huskies this Saturday. I'm sure it'll be a good match. You know, KU hasn't been that good since Reesing left, who knows, maybe you guys will turn it around soon.

The OSU game was awesome. Toledo's O-line just couldn't keep the defense away long enough.

Hoping Penn St. wins.

Kinda weird to think that Oregon State was actually good a year or two ago.
