I second Stanfordindians attitude. I respectfully disagree with the assertion that some of us "don't know" football. Some have played. Some have played and coached and at least one has worked at the highest level (over 660 NFL games). Trained eyes pick up things: alligator arms at times by a promising redshirt freshman, the crucial absence of a blocking back and the mystery of why his replacement isn't playing up to 2015 ability, the drop off of the ILB's and the hope that Barton will overcome with experience, yada, yada, yada.

Aside from the decades old dominance of $C the coast schools have been up and down, forever. UDub is up, Oregon is down, so be it. We're five games in and nobody knows how the two old rivals will play today. And that's the fun of college football.
