Promotion/Relegation for P5 schools?
Interesting, but I'd need to see more details of how it would work.
Not sure the conferences would be willing for their members to be relegated though.

Well, it's a win.
We certainly miss CJ Stroud.
Notre Dame's coaches helped a lot. An incomplete pass on their final clock killing drive, and then this:

That Iowa thing made me laugh because Iowa's color scheme and culture is based on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers also struggle with offense.
I know Kentucky is in the SEC, so Bama and/or Georgia are on their schedule. UNC and Duke probably play one another and/or FSU/Clemson? Who does Kansas play that's good? Texas?
I was kind of surprised OSU won this weekend. I still do not think super highly of this team's chances. Still, they should go undefeated now aside from PSU and TTUN.
I'm also not really sold on TTUN this year. I know they returned a bunch, but they've looked kind of shitty. Let's see if Harbaugh turns it around now that he's back.
FYI, 12 undefeated teams lost this weekend.

This is a really interesting topic and something I think about a lot on Sundays when X doesn't do well as QB for X. Point being, not just OSU QBs.
Too bad that graphic doesn't go back further. For example, where's Tom Tupa? He had the longest career because he was also a punter!
FYI, Joe Burrow says he wouldn't be the QB he is without his time at OSU, but nobody wants to give OSU credit for him except him.
Anyway, this is one of the most perplexing things in all of sports. Also, one of the most unfair ways to try and criticize a college program. "Ha ha, you can't produce NFL QBs." "Damn, you're right, but our QBs still put up 50 on your team and we're in the title picture annually, so..."
Honestly, this is the argument of dumb fans and recruiting pitches. It's also clickbait for media outlets. Talking about OSU gets eyeballs, more so than any other team. For example, NFL scouts have long said Bama players are bad picks more often than not. Why? Because they've already peaked. They've been coached to their top level. Where's the graphic for that?
Realistically, I believe the system is as important to success as the player. Yes, talent can make plays, but overall, talent can be squashed by a system that doesn't fit your skill set. Cowherd just had a breakdown of Chicago being the worst run team in the whole NFL and how they were destroying any chance Fields had for success by focusing on defense and not building an offense for his skills. Put him in Baltimore and he could be Lamar 2.0.
This is why some QBs are so good in college, but terrible in the NFL. Because success or failure in college doesn't translate to success or failure in the pros. Tom Brady wasn't exactly a world beater in college. Neither was Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and the list goes on forever.
I think one thing that is never factored in, but plays a massive role, is money. Look at Brady and Mahomes. They came from middle class or higher homes. They didn't want for anything, so their drive was to be great. I think CJ Stroud also fits in this category. I believe his family isn't poor. Dwayne and Terrelle came from poor backgrounds and once they got money they had scandals and posses. They weren't driven to be great. They were driven to get paid.
Cardale started two games and then couldn't beat out JT (not on the list or in the NFL) for the starting job the following year. I don't think it's fair to even put him on this list. Although going back to the system thing, I always thought he went to the wrong team. He belonged in Pittsburgh. Big Ben was his comp and he would have fit right into that offense.
Troy Smith is honestly the one I don't get the most. Smart kid, loads of talent, worked hard, and actually read defenses. He wasn't just a system kid. So why didn't he pan out?

If anyone is watching the Kent State game, I'm in the Kent stands on the 23 yard line next to the stairs going down. I'm the one with the huge junk rooting for Miami.
