I assume that is because of an established local rivalry. That's the way those types of games often go. I don't think games like that can give us much of a read on the future. I've seen plenty of 'bad' teams play a better team very close and it makes people wonder what happened - except for those 'in' that rivalry who know better. That's part of the beauty of college football and it's something that cross-country conferences and realignment is chipping away at.
KSU seems like they are in good hands. WVU is going sideways - Neal will get fired if they don't hit at least 7 wins. OU obliterated a once-proud Arkansas St program, which has fallen on hard times the past few seasons. KU beat a high school team. Utah has QB problems but good defense. tcu has no defense. Baylor will be hiring a new coach in 2 years. ISU - can't get a read on them from the high school team they played. I didn't watch byu/cincy/cougar high or ucf
All of those wins meant nothing. They didn't even win the conference. Then they got smashed by Georgia in the worst MNC loss in history. There's no banner going up on their stadium for the wins, unless they are going to pull an aggy and make up a conference title or something.
The Bay Area is all about pro sports. You have the 49ers, Giants, Warriors and to a lesser extent the Raiders when they weren't in LA.
There's some interest in the colleges, but the interest isn't there when compared to BFE college towns where CFB is the only game in town and the whole work week is spent planning the tailgate and how to fuck a 2nd cousin.
Wisconsin's 'air raid' is looking like ass vs. Buffalo.
To be fair, it's a major change for that program and you cannot change your personnel overnight.
Unless Deion is your coach
Love seeing the hypocrite douche bags at tcu lose.
Nothing worse than throwing stones at other schools and then turning around and hiring the guys you threw stones at.
