Ray Graves was the head coach in the 1960s.

Miami?!? Is that the University of Miami, in Coral Gables that lost to Georgia Tech and got beat like a drum by UNC, or Miami University in Ohio that hasn't lost since its season opener to Miami (FL)?

Can we talk about the special teams not hurting the Gators today? USC being offsides on the PAT set up a 2-point conversion. Smack being basically automatic (aside from the blocked FG that was on the line, not the kicker). Crawshaw getting over his early season jitters to be an absolute weapon. Beamer prides himself on special teams, but other than the blocked FG, their special teams shanked punts and fumbled the snap on a PAT.

I would say Stoops solved the Dan Mullen problem. If Franks doesn't get hurt in Lexington, Mullen probably would never have beat Kentucky. The only game that was in hand from the beginning was in 2020, where Trask started. Mullen valued loyalty to older players over putting the best players on the field, and Richardson's lack of experience last year was a result. Mullen is a good coach at a Mississippi State level school, but he's not a top-tier coach.

A big part of that is voter reliance on name recognition. As results replace feelings, at least one of the 8 G-5 teams in the Others Receiving Votes category will be ranked. But, yes, seeding the playoffs after Week 1 would be a bad idea.

Other than Georgia and Texas A&M, which of those games looks like a loss? The LSU team that doesn't play special teams? The FSU team coached by the reincarnation of late-tenure Les Miles? The revenge home game against a South Carolina team that embarrassed them last year, leading to their coach being fired? Vandy may be the third toughest game in that stretch.

Too bad for Vandy that they don't play LSU this year. They could use the W.

Don't be ridiculous. Everyone knows Superman wears Anthony Richardson pajamas.

It's not like FSU can recruit the type of athlete they get at Wake Forest or Jacksonville State.

Who wants Vandy out? They have more conference championships than Mississippi State. Granted they are SIAA and Southern Conference championships, but still... 14 to the Bulldog's 1. Vandy also has two unclaimed National Championships (1921 & 1922), just as many as Georgia, and as far as any current athlete is concerned, just as relevant.

I'd suggest it make a return to Durham, but North Carolina's governor has his head up his ass too.

How did Kyle Trask not get special teams player of the week after his brilliantly executed pooch punt? Since when does one kick not qualify a player for STPotW?

Cold would be pointing out that those numbers would be Trask's third worst as a starter in the Swamp.

That was Franks 3rd best performance in the Swamp, and his best, in Gainesville, versus an SEC opponent.

Why would an elite quarterback prospect go to Georgia, given Kirby Smart's track record of evaluating and managing quarterback talent? It's like Mark Richt left the Faton Bauta playbook in the office, and Kirby thought it was the most brilliant thing he'd ever read.

And a waiver to scholarship limits for those seniors, so as not to screw over underclassmen.

I'm not sure canceling the CWS is warttanted, but I think that it's probably a good idea to postpone competition for a couple of weeks. I hope the NCAA does the right thing, and grants any senior (in any sport) who lost part of their season to this an extra year of eligibility, and a waiver to scholarship limits for those student-athletes.
