***2025 Week 2 (Sept. 5-6) CFB Games Thread***

Regardless of what happens from here seems pretty likely USF is best G5 team with this road game win or at very worst 1pt loss to Florida and blowout over Boise St.
Yep, they have a hell of an opening 3 games. At Miami next week.

Even if they lose that and another game...I'd put them over any other 1 or 0 loss G5 team. Of course their bid almost entirely depends on them winning American conference.
 
I think Ferentz will become the winningest coach in the Big 10 and then retire at the end of this season. If needed, he will get a little push into retirement from the AD. Iowa does not want to end up like Oklahoma State with Mike Gundy.

It would be interesting to see who Iowa would hire for a new head coach. At one time, Chris Klineman was a front-runner for that job.
I hear Brian Ferentz is looking for a job ;)
 
lol how about USF?

Of course they could lose focus like any team, but they blew out Boise State and won @#13 Florida and will play @top 5 Miami next week.

If it's even close vs Miami I think you have to pencil them in as a top ten-ish team at 10-2 or 11-1 heading into their championship game. If they somehow beat Miami...and Miami or Florida have a good season they're going to beg for a really high ranking all year even though @Memphis is probably their only challenging conference game.

It's highly unlikely but 12-1 American CCG loser USF is the path to multi G5 bids.

USF kinda seems legit so far.

You have to combine this with blowing the doors off Boise St.

I'd say their resume is at least equal to ISU. We've had a tough schedule for first three games compared to most but theirs is actually tougher.

It is very hard to watch ASU vs MSU. These cowbells suck. I have to imagine it effects Mississippi state getting prime slots.

I wanted to watch that game to support a Big12 team, but it was just too much.
 
I wont' root for the SEC much but I'd like to see OU keep this up. This would be a bigger loss for the big ten than win for the SEC.

I'll check in on the score later. The start has me wondering if Kenny Dillingham only caught lightning in a bottle last year with Skat in Tempe

We didn't play our best game, but let's be honest, we really just could not tackle the guy.

Replace him with average D1/P4 running back and we're still in that game with our C game.

He was a human bowling ball. Fun we'll get a chance to rematch with a lot of the same players without him to find out.

It's not like Texas players really did any better slowing him down than ISU players. They just did more on offense and caught some breaks.
