Nico is a really good QB, dude has all the tangibles. He may not be a first round draft pick, and certainly may not even make the NFL draft. But to say Rivals etc got their eval wrong? Dude has everything you want, save most important qualities - leadership and between ears.

Arch is still learning. Worst thing that ever happened to Arch from a professional standpoint is to have last name Manning.

Tough place to start your first game as QB is Ohio State. Defending National Champion with a 3 time Super Bowl winning DC ... Arch was doomed from kickoff.

I don't think you can come to a conclusion after only one game played on how well opposing teams or players will perform this season..

That hold true for our team as well. I can’t wait to see how we have adjusted our offense to SEC competition. Is the qb change a difference maker? Can we get back to being an explosive offense against that level of competition?

My guess on top 5 in new football rankings.

1.Ohio State for the fact they beat the preseason #1 team.
2. Penn State
3. LSU
4. Georgia
5. Texas, probably won't drop out of top 5 after losing a close game on the road to OSU..

Tennessee should be Top 10-15..

I think it’s evident that, to this day, there is no reliable or even credible way to accurately measure the intangibles of nearly any position especially QB. Evaluators see a guy like Nico who has all the physical attributes you could ask for but the intangibles just aren’t there.

It happens all the time and will continue to happen. He is a good quarterback if throwing a pretty ball and running around were the only things a QB has to do, but they’re not, even in this era of system QBs.

You have to wake up tomorrow as DeBoer or bubba Cunningham (unc ad)

In 2013, after Bama lost the Iron Bowl, a woman shot and killed her friend all because the friend "wasn't upset enough" over the loss.

As Cunningham, at least there's probably no real danger of NOT waking up.

Not sure order other than Ohio State at 1, but agree this is likely the new top 5.

My guess
1. Ohio State
2. Penn State
3. Georgia
4. LSU
5. Miami/Texas

Really comes down to how much ya punish Texas.

But clearly the best 3 wins were Ohio State, LSU, & Miami
