AP Poll - what a strange world we now live in

3 of top 10 are traditional SEC (I’m having a hard time accepting ut)

Only 1 of top 5.

Penn S wins in OT vs unranked USC with 2 highly questionable lack of called PIs. - moves up a spot.

Tenn wins in OT vs unranked Florida and moves down 3 spots.

It’s an odd year of college football and I think with NIL, parody will be the norm as long as schools outside SEC are willing to pay.

Expected ranking and bowl projection

Looks like A&M will only go up to 14 or maybe stay at 15 for now.

Aa far as bowl projections, depends on what you want to believe. We are far enough in the season people think Big 12 is getting two in playoffs and also think (hold on can’t stop laughing) Indiana is a serious playoff contender.

I think A&M will be projected as most people 9 seed or 10 seed traveling to Penn State.

Winston Watkins Jr. - WR - ‘25

IIRC, this guy committed to Jimbo a year or two ago. I believe he reversed that decision but haven’t heard his name in quite a while.

Just saw a clip of IMG playing some terrible team from Canada and the game got called at halftime due to the score being 96-0. Anyway, the clip mentioned him in the game and so I did a quick google and found his on3 profile.

An overall 4 star recruit, and their “predicting machine” still has him at a 48% chance of signing with the Ags. Ole Miss was second at 40%.

What’s the story with this guy? It’s possible I just missed it because I haven’t really been following HS recruiting since the portal started. Any nuggets of info? Can the dude play? What type of receiver is he? I know he’s kin to Sammy Watkins but his frame seems more slight than Sammy’s. Is he a quick, slot type of receiver? Or a line up outside the hashes, possession guy? Any thoughts?

Elko press conference

Says they're healthy, and they were fired up to get back on the field Monday.
Says State is getting better week-to-week, even if the results aren't there. Says they're very dangerous.
Van Buren "found a rhythm" against Georgia in the second half, and says they have three elite wideouts and a veteran offensive line.
Believes the defense has started to find an identity. Thinks they'll have their hands full in Starkville, where they don't play will historically.

Reminded his players that the last time they went to Starkville, it wasn't pretty. "We've lost to everyone left on the schedule in the last two years (save Texas and NMSU)."

No cowbells played during practice. Just very loud music. "This is going to be a rowdy, hostile environment full of energy."
Says that "it's a bad look for the game" when guys are flopping with injuries on defense, but also says that it's not a good look when offenses can just go at whatever speed they please.

Says Weigman is "in a great spot" and will be ready for Saturday. Earlier today, Weigman said he is 100%.
Says Van Buren has a really big arm and they can really stretch the field. Says Van Buren can throw the ball a mile.

When asked what position group has progressed the most since the opener, he says the wideouts. That's the area that has made the most progress.

Says the team feels as good and as fresh as it has at any point, and praises Tommy Moffitt for that.

He's talking about the big challenge for the second half of the year being keeping a championship mindset, to keep bought in on what the coaches have been saying since January. That's what a coach says when he likes what he's got going.

Anyone with plans to vacation in Venezuela..........

May want to rethink it.................

The United States has seized a plane used by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and flown it from the Dominican Republic to Florida after determining that its purchase violated U.S. sanctions, the U.S. Justice Department said on Monday.

The seizure of the aircraft came amid continuing pressure on Maduro at home and abroad over a contested July 28 election that he claimed to have won, while the opposition said its vote tallies showed its candidate to have soundly defeated him.

Maduro, his associates and the OPEC member-state's vital oil sector are under heavy U.S. sanctions, and his handling of the election has raised the prospects that further measures could be imposed.

“This morning, the Justice Department seized an aircraft we allege was illegally purchased for $13 million through a shell company and smuggled out of the United States for use by Nicolás Maduro and his cronies,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.

U.S. officials said the seizure, which was first reported by CNN, was made working closely with the Dominican Republic.

The Venezuelan government did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

One more parallel between Biden and Kamala is...

Plagiarism. Remember when Biden dropped out of the POTUS race because he was caught plagiarizing and lying about his background?

It is amazing how times have changed for the DNC in 35 years.
