But, based on just 3 games and their opponents, they may actually be the most dominant team in the country. You could also include Texas, maybe USC or Washington in that conversation.

Colorado has barely won all 3 of their games. Confident? Sure but dominant? hardly ... only in talk.

FSU looked great early but struggled with BC yesterday.
Georgia has not been dominant.
Definitely not LSU though they did beat up on Cowbell U. yesterday.
And we all know Tennessee is just a very average to below average team.

We really don't know what we got this year. There simply are not great football teams just like last year.

Elko is an outstanding coach. Period.

Oregon and USC will probably send Colorado back to reality after a couple of weeks.

Someone who said it early (we will probably see a 2 loss champ this year) is probably right though.

I don't see Georgia having 2 losses tbh.

We really shouldn't have any until Atlanta even though we are not a great team. But, we'll see.

GA is just sleep walking and turning it on when they need too

Not a good approach and doubt it’s by design

Teams have talent, but with their money in the bank already, players are not as consistently motivated as they were before NIL. Whether it's Bama struggling with USF or FSU struggling with Boston College, or Georgia with SC, Texas with Wyoming, or Okie State getting routed by South Alabama, players just don't seem motivated week to week, whether for a future in sports or, like back in the old days by wearing that team jersey. I guess like the girls in that pop song, "They just wanna have fun."

Agree with this. Need to get rid of NIL but that will never happen.

Yep, Duke is playing just simply good football. Nothing fancy, just solid.

Irish vs Duke should be fun.

I would be happy with Duke’s coach after this Pittman thing ends.

Add in the dissension over guys feeling underpaid compared to teammates. Pros have to deal with it but a lot of these guys are teenagers.

Here's what sounds weird about Duke:

They'd beat Alabama if they played tomorrow.
