1. Notre Dame better schedule Florida State and Virginia Tech.

Now that we know Notre Dame will be scheduling 5 ACC schools per year sometime in the upcoming years, I just hope they have the nads to add FSU and VT. Who wants to see ND vs. Wake Forest and Duke every year?

2. Jarvis Jones is making a case for the Heisman.

Phenomenal. Last week Jones had 9 tackles, 2 sacks, an interception, 2 forced fumbles and 5 quarterback pressures on the road in Georgia's win over Missouri. Recalls LaVar Arrington the way he takes over games. Fun to watch.

3. Matt Barkley's 6 TDs were misleading.

We all know Barkley threw 6 TDs against Syracuse. But Robert Woods and Marqise Lee were the stars of that game. Barkley was pedestrian, throwing for just 187 yards and letting his skill players do all the heavy lifting.

4. Braxton Miller should scramble less.

Miller is having a huge year and has carried Ohio State to a 2-0 start under Urban Meyer. He's also carried the ball too much; 44 times in 2 games. H'll get hurt unless he stops.

5. Savannah State should quit.

They're not competitive. At all. Outscored 139-0 in less than 7 quarters.

1. Clemson is about to get really good.

They're already good. They can score with anybody. But now Sammy Watkins is back and the Clemson offense is going to be unstoppable. Watkins plus Tajh Boyd and DeAndre Hopkins equals tons of points. Watch out, rest of the ACC.

2. Robert Marve is jinxed.

Marve, Purdue's sixth-year senior QB, tore another ACL, his third ACL tear of his injury rirrled career. Marve is a good player but his NFL chances have to be just about over with by now. Sad ending to a plucky player's career, assuming he's out for the season.

3. Tyler Wilson needs to get healthy, fast.

Arkansas probably wasn't going to beat Alabama this Saturday anyway but if Wilson comes back in time at least the Razorbacks will have a puncher's chance. Arkansas' defense isn't great but their offense is loaded and a healthy Wilson could give Bama's secondary fits, particularly if RB Knile Davis has a big game.

4. UF-TENN winner will save his job.

Not that Dooley or Muschamp were about to be fired, but whichever coach wins will almost certainly earn themself another year or two.

5. MSU over ND.

Free prediction. Bank on it.

1. Tyler Bray may wind up being drafted before Matt Barkley.

Everyone is just handing the overall first pick in the 2012 Draft to Matt Barkley but Tyler Bray has a lot to offer. Besides posting stats that equal or surpass Barkley's (this year) Bray also has the size advantage: Bray is 6-6 while Barkley is [/i]allegedly[/i] 6-2, and we know how NFL people love size, especially in QBs.

2. Lee better than Woods?

Speaking of USC players... for all the hype bestowed on Robert Woods, Marqise Lee may be even more talented. Lee is having a huge year and that's likely to continue with opposing defenses having to focus on Woods and RB Silas Redd.

3. Spurrier deserves a ton of credit.

He resurrected South Carolina. Took a few years but he restored the program big time and the Gamecocks have been a force over the last few years. Outstanding recruiting.

4. The Heisman race is wide open.

Barkley, Geno Smith, De'Anthony Thomas, Johnathan Franklin, Le'Veon Bell, Denard Robinson, Jarvis Jones... which of these guys has separated himself from the pack yet? None.

5. Just a hunch.

I think a non-East Coast team wins the NC this year.
