I'll start out by not writing flippantly but say that, while the Golden Gophers were tough, the game highlight films -- which tend to edit out the blemishes -- look terrifying for the Illini and Michigan. (I think the Toe Jams are too dumb to know the difference.) And, if they look scary to those folks I wonder what the CFP committee members think?

Who are you all rooting in the ND v. Miami game later today? Honestly, it's one of those games that I wish the good Lord would just open up a yawning crevasse and have al of the ND and Hurricane faithful fall into!

That said, Chesney is 25% away from running the table and, in my heart-of-hearts, I hope he does!

But we're 9-0 so let's savor the moment and start the Fighting Illini hand wringing on Monday, shall we?

Excellent article, Jim!

Go notre dame! The fewer undefeated teams remaining the better

Grudgingly agree! But a loss would catapult ND out of the CFP.

..so then there's that you betcha!

Miami plays nobody except ND so I want Miami to lose.

Jim thanks you and so does Joe.

The USC game could end up being for the Big 10 championship.

Your really think the Trogans are going to beat Indiana @ Indiana? I don't think so, but miracles sometimes happen. Ohio St looked awful today, so we can't put much into that common opponent and Ohio St had Sayin when they faced Indiana, they didn't have him against the little trojies. I honestly believe UCLA wins out, but again one game at a time.

I don't know if they will win or not but they are certainly capable. Indiana is overrated. in my opinion.

Is TD gone next year? He's really stepped up this year.

Georgia with a loss to an unranked team is #5.

Aiden Mizell on the first touchdown looks like he isn’t even trying to run fast. Like his demeanor on a close up they showed on TV, he looks like he’s just strolling through the field.

With that said: Wow! I’ve waited 20+ years to finally see a really good team on the field and now that it’s here I don’t want it to end anytime soon. What a great game without it being pretty.

Need to Ole Miss, Tennessee, and ND to win today.

Don't care, only care that we keep winning. Illinois next up and right after this win today, Ches & Co. put their sights on the Illini.

That was a quality win today. Minnesota was a worthy opponent and we ultimately proved the better team.

If UCLA and USC win out before they play each other, UCLA could lose that game and still have the best record in the Big 10 and would likely play USC again in the Big 10 Championship game.
