Week 6 is upcoming - the halfway point of the season already.

This week has one big caste matchup with CFB Playoff implications - #4 Penn St vs #3 Iowa Saturday at 3:30 PM. Iowa feels like a more complete team - Clifford is the better QB but I think Defense, Special Teams, Run game/balanced offense all go in favor of the Hawkeyes. Many of us tuned in to see Iowa eviscerate the Terps last week. The Iowa defense is just as good as the UGA defense.

Group of 5 Coastal Carolina has the Thursday night game - they are 15th in the nation currently and certainly can play a role in the playoff conversation. It sounds like QB Grayson McCall will be healthy enough to start. He is probably the most efficient QB in the country - 69/86 1113 tds 10 TD/1 INT.

Friday Night Stanford plays Arizona State. Coming off the upset of #3 Oregon I think Stanford has a chance to beat the Sun Devils. Tanner McKee is an ascending QB.

Oklahoma - Texas play Saturday - ideally the Longhorns score more points than the Sooners and bump Oklahoma out of playoff contention. I am sure this will be a defense optional game.

Maryland - Ohio State - I won't make the same mistake I did with Rutgers vs OSU last week. I always root for the upset but it's unlikely here.

Michigan St vs Rutgers - The Spartans can jump into the top 10 with a win Saturday. Payton Thorne has been another pleasant come out of nowhere surprise. They are another team with a very good defense and honestly the Spartans RB Kenneth Walker should be the Heisman frontrunner right now. Not anyone of the plug and play black quarterbacks who get inserted into an offensive system and put up the same stats their predecessors did.

Arkansas vs Ole Miss - Corral needs to come out firing vs the Razorbacks after the disappointing defeat last week to Alabama. Arkansas has a black quarterback problem.

Georgia vs Auburn - Will JT Daniels be healthy enough this week to play? With 7 games left he needs to get on the field and perform well. Daniels injuries this year have been frustrating as he certainly has the talent to be a an early 1st round pick. Bo Nix was a hero last week, hopefully he is able to put some points up against the UGA defense.

Michigan vs Nebraska - Rooting for the Wolverines in this one. Martinez is the poster boy for the caste system as it applies to the QB position. I think the Michigan defense will harass him all game.

Great write-up!

We'll all be tuned in at 3:30 even if the CF server is down for the Iowa - Penn State game. Hopefully, the Nittany Lions are blasted back into the Stone Age!

Oliver Martin saw limited action for Nebraska last weekend after missing four games. I'm sure he'll be chomping at the bit to show up Michigan's mediocre receivers and stick it to the black OC Gattis who "fired" him three years ago. Just an interesting little subplot worth noting...

The "other" 3:30 game is 2-3 Boise State at undefeated #10 BYU, who are only 5.5 pt favorites. The Cougars have beaten Utah and Arizona State already (both back end top 25 teams). They'll go on the road to Baylor and USC and host Virginia later this season. BYU would need help (for starters, a Cincinnati loss) but are on the fringe of the playoff conversation. They've been much easier to watch since Baylor Romney took over QB duty and established the connection with his WR brother Gunner.

Also, keep an eye on 2-3 Washington State hosting 4-1 Oregon State at 4pm. WSU's head coach Nick Rolovich has refused to succumb to the deadly vaxx and has been under fire as a state employee. Apparently, he can be fired by the letter of the "law" after the weekend if he doesn't secure an exemption, as he won't have time to become "fully vaxxed" before the state deadline. The university is chomping at the bit to fire him for cause and waive his buyout. They are probably also mad that he starts a white running back, Max Borghi (who incidentally should be healthy again this week). Note that Rolovich does not campaign against vaccines or deny The Science; he just refuses to coalesce with the blob, which is crime enough.

I'll be pleased if Stanford, Texas, and Auburn can throw a wrench in the machine as well.

It was good to see Martin back out there last weekend after his mysterious injury. I feel conflicted rooting against Nebraska but it’s obvious to everyone but Scott Frost that his hand picked QB is simply not the player to bring the Huskers back to national prominence.

I heard Romney has an injury - I think a concussion. I feel that the offense has not skipped a beat with him under center and actually seems to run better with him at the helm rather than the black quarterback.

Rolovich’s vaccination status is no ones business but just like many other athletes he is facing public scrutiny over a very private decision. I don’t care for him as a coach and he has certainly not helped the Cougar program from a caste perspective but I give him credit for his stance with the vaccine. I hope Borghi has a big game.

Nice write up's Leonardfan & Phall! Yep it's already Week #6! 13 Weeks can go quickly!

Arkansas State RB Lincoln Pare Scored a TD tonight(6 -29)...then was limping on sidelines; WR Adam Jones had a 21 yard catch slipping @ the 1 yard line(nearly TD)

Coastal Carolina really looks LEGIT; they can now look eye to eye with established Mid Major Powers like BYU; Boise State; Cincinnati; UCF...
Won 52 - 20...QB Grayson McCall another solid game 365 yards passing & 4 TD's
Enjoy watching their Defense ((LB's Gallagher/Kelly...FS Matts/SS Spillum)) ...caste friendly by today's standards with Clemson. More pale than many of their North/Midwest/West counterparts

Houston QB Clayton Tune passed for 288 yards & 3 TD's in a 40-22 win vs. Tulane
Jack'd D-End Derek Parish(Junior) 6'-2" 245 looks like the type of player that sneaks into the later rounds of the NFL Draft; Then finds his way on a 53-man roster. Seems to be a bit of a tweener
.....Tulane TE Will Wallace had 2 receptions for 54 yards & TD

Stoked Ricky Pearsall (2 TD's)had his Break Out Week! Explosive stuff vs UCLA! When making the WR 2021 Thread had to include him! Last time i can remember that from an Arizona State was speedster Kieth Poole in late 90's??
...impressive how Tanner McKee @ QB has turned around Stanford's season! Leading WR is Out injured? ; could mean more opportunities for Bryce Ferrell. John Humphreys is starting to step up.

Cincinnati plays tomorrow night....Alec Pierce has 1,000 yard in a season potential if the QB can be consistent.

Alec Pierce for Cincy just had a TD reception....

“The 6’3” dynamic wide receiver” one of the announcers said......

Pierce reminds me of an Eric Decker type. He has a very bright future and should be playing on Sundays in the future. Great
size, hands and athletecism to go with it. The total package that you would want in a wide recevier.

Yep Alec Pierce has been getting a lot of attention after last week. Jim Nagy and Mel Kiper both hyped him up this week, he will likely be our top WR picked next year and I’m guessing round 3, maybe 2 depending on how he tests.

Kyle Phillips is probably our other top pick at WR.

Yes indeed ! This is why Alec Pierce is the 1st picture in 2021 Wide Receiver thread. Solid stats tonight (6-93 -1). He's 100% healthy after slow start....Kiper called him 3rd/4th Round Steal
Kyle Phillips is a slightly larger version of Trent Taylor.

Florida International QB Max Bortenschlager threw for 466 yards & 4TD's

Stanford TE Ben Yurosek has some highlight reels catches (3-61) in 1st half tonight. RB Casey Filkins has a couple of short catches!
WR Humphrey (1 - 11 so far)
Waiting for explosive Arizona State WR Ricky Pearsall to build on last weeks break thru performance!

Site is acting up some...assuming it's related to the site maintenance. Going to turn in for the night though....I don't think Stanford can mount a comeback - their defense isn't up to the task tonight.

Watching the Texas vs Oklahoma game and they showed all the defensive starters with headshot pictures and there was no picture for Luke Brockermeyer… you seriously can’t make this stuff up. A multi billion dollar broadcasting company and a high profile school and you can’t get a picture of the guy???

Assuming Schooler is no longer starting for Longhorns either?

He’s listed as “or” on the depth chart this week but he wasn’t shown with the starters. I’ll look and see if he’s out there on this next drive.

update: nope no Schooler yet

Sounds about right. Card needs to transfer out.

Hendon Hooker has honestly played really well for Tennessee since he replaced Joe Milton (the worst college QB I’ve ever seen). In a perfect world Hooker will go the NFL after this year, Milton will transfer, and Harrison Bailey will start.

Hooker isn't an NFL QB. I doubt the Cuck Heupel will start Bailey. Bailey needs to transfer.

Looks like I called the Texas-Oklahoma game - another defensive optional affair.

LOL the hyped up Rattler not in the game either.

But since Hooker is 6’4, black, and can run you know the “experts” will be hyping him up.

Ive seen Rattler play a few times and he is pretty bad. One of the most up and down QB’s I’ve ever watched, but he has wayyyyy too many downs. I feel bad for whoever wastes a draft pick on him.

SEC is mirroring the Big 12 in terms of being a defense optional conference.

Bama loss is always Great!

Imo Texas and Oklahoma both suck donkey balls. I can't get fully behind that basketball on grass ******** with zero physicality on Defense!
