Re: aTm's defensive improvements were very impressive...

I am not sold on Swag.

I think he's physically tough, athletic, and uber-competitive. I think he's got a strong if not overly consistent arm. He can throw a beautiful ball, at times. He can also throw some ill-advised lame ducks.

I question how well he will do when the pressure gets to him and he has to squeeze the ball through small windows, and how well he will handle things when the red haze descends. Managing his emotions and keeping his composure is not his forte. I think there are going to be games when he puts the team on his back and scores TD's for fun. I also think there will be more than a few games when he spontaneously combusts and vents all over teammates, coaches, and completely loses his cool. I question his ability to read a defense, especially when he's in a tizzy, and I question his decision-making. On and off the field.

I think Kelly's a pumped-up version of Stephen Garcia, I think he's got major entitlement issues, and I thought that when he was at Clemson. Nothing he's done since then has really made me question that opinion. We'll see how it goes, but to be honest I was sort of dreading the roller-coaster we would be on now if Deshaun Watson hadn't come along.

I think Swag's going to have an...interesting year, in the SEC West. Bring popcorn.

Also in the way of another great Oregon year, stands WSU, a pac12 intra-divisional powerhouse who dropped their opener to an FCS team, and not even a good one.

ASU & and AZ exploited as hyped up frauds, for which it feels like I've had to wait far too long for.

Stanford's a juggernaut.

USC/UCLA/Oregon will have unquestionably earnee their spot in this playoff, whomever it is to come out alive or even just 1 loss.

UofL not being a top 25 team is borderline criminal. Them and GT have no business not being higher ranked coming into this season.

Did the experts not know UGA's entire secondary, I mean UL's secondary are done waiting their turn to play? Or that UL picked up hella jucos and a former big12 D poy?

Texas will beat one of Baylor or TCU, and heirarchy of cfb teams will then be better put into perspective.
