Thoughts on top 10:

Georgia #1:

Well how's that for a surprising pick? Personally, I couldn't agree more as Georgia has had the most impressive resume of all of the above ranked teams. A very deserved rank.

Notre Dame #3:

Notre Dame at three? This, as well as the Georgia at 1 ranking was the biggest shock. Year after year we see the same bias towards Notre Dame from the committee but I must admit, their lone loss is against number one ranked Georgia. We will see how real this Notre Dame team is after their showdown with Miami in two weeks.

Ohio State #6 & Penn State #7:

One would think that Ohio State would create a little more separation from Penn State after winning what seemed like the game of the year just last week. Ohio State will now win the conference if everything goes to plan and Penn State is left with only one option left to get into the top 4....Blow...everyone....out.

Miami #10:

Something about seeing one of the last unbeaten teams left in the country at ten seems a little strange. However the Hurricanes have come very close multiple times to losing their unbeaten streak this season. This weekend's primetime showdown with Virginia Tech will tell us if the U is officially back.

Jake Fromm Suffers a Broken Hand

The university of Georgia’s starting quarterback, Jake Fromm, suffered a broken hand following a boating accident on the 4 th of July. Fromm isn’t expected to miss any of the season and still plans on being available to run summer workouts (wearing a splint). Off the field accidents aren’t unfamiliar waters to Fromm as he also made news earlier this summer when he made an unexpected trip to the emergency room to have a fishhook removed from his leg. These freak off the field incidents have some Georgia faithful up in arms about what players do in their free time and quite frankly it isn’t any of their damn business. Crazy accidents like these happen all the time and are simply inevitable; spending time with family on the 4 th of July isn’t a sin. Jake Fromm gives Tim Tebow a run for his money in terms of off the field motives. He is one of the most down to earth kids that has ever came through Athens. I’m honestly surprised he wasn’t off in the Philippines or some other ...

The Baker Mayfield Effect

By Kyle Langston Twitter: @kylelangston49 Monday June 11 th , the date that Lake Travis class of ’21 quarterback Nate Yarnell received his first offer from the University of Houston Cougars. Though isn't it odd that an up and coming program with a promising 2018 season would spend their time looking at a freshman quarterback. Houston comes off of a 7-win season behind potential 2018 defensive player of the year Ed Oliver. To justify this, Yarnell must have out of this world stats from his freshman year, but upon inspection of the 2017 varsity roster he is nowhere to be found. So we see for perhaps the first time ever, a competitive Division 1 football program extending an offer to a freshman quarterback who has never played a snap of varsity football. The reason? Nate attends the same high school that 2018 first overall pick Baker Mayfield once did. The case of Nate Yarnell is not one that stands alone. During Mayfield’s rather brief Heisman acceptance...

When he arrived at Mississippi State in ’09 he inherited a below average, under achieving roster. In his nine-year tenure in Starkville, he essentially brought the program back to relevancy. Now, Coach Mullen goes to his dream job with a...
