Sorry if this take sucks, it’s not my fault …

“If it stinks, it stinks.” Like how Nick Saban thought about how Alabama played against Mercer, it smells bad for everybody. Does it smell bad to you? What do you want me to do? Make excuses for it?

Fortunately, it’s on Peacock which means most won’t know how close it comes to being a total disaster.

Week 2 of America’s favorite gimmick college football piece – what I think, what I know, and what I believe.

I think … Notre Dame being ranked in the top ten is ridiculous considering the way it played against Toledo and a Florida State team that just lost to Jacksonville State from the FCS world.

I know … 2-0 is 2-0 is 2-0. Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

I believe … those who voted in the latest polls don’t have a Peacock subscription.

I think … Jacksonville State is in Alabama.

I know … I’ve made that mistake before because, you know, it’s called Jacksonville – and I’ll make it again.

I believe … Florida State should’ve never let it come down to one last play to gack that away.

I think … Oregon offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead coached a whale of a game.

I know … he’s going to be a fantastic head coach once he gets his next chance.

I believe … I could never pull off the beard.

I think … Iowa State is a whole lot better than it showed against Iowa.

I know … Iowa State didn’t show anything against Northern Iowa, either.

I believe … until Iowa State bounces back – which it totally will – there’s no reason it should be ranked 14th in both polls.

I think … the Pac-12 is asleep at the wheel, and it’ll be ticked if the Big 12 expands west and starts grabbing Mountain West teams.

I know … San Diego State is a terrific fit for the Big 12 – and better for the Pac-12.

I believe … Colorado State wouldn’t be bad, but losing to an FCS team and then Vanderbilt doesn’t help the optics.

I think … Lane Kiffin is a fantastic football coach.

I know … he doesn’t get his due because he’s too Lane Kiffin.

I believe … USC doesn’t lose to Stanford on Saturday night if Lane Kiffin is the head coach.

I think … the Dr. Pepper Fansville ads are more entertaining than anything you’re paying for on a streaming service.

I know … one version totally ripped off the daily Coastal vs. State college choice debates in my house.

I believe … the San Diego State win over Arizona didn’t solidify the kid’s college choice between the two, but apparently it’s a sign of some sort.

I think … the Baker Mayfield Progressive ads gossiping with the neighbor ladies strike entirely too close to home.

I know … he should’ve planted a flag in the middle of Arrowhead had the Browns pulled off the win.

I believe … Baker’s flag-planting in Columbus in 2017 was nothing. Now this is savage.

I think … I’ve carefully structured my world to avoid the horrific nightmare of country music at all costs.

I know … sugary carbs were fired about a year ago.

I believe … I’m going to break something tasteful if I can’t get that (bleep)ing Applebee’s Oreo shake song out of my head for at least ten peaceful minutes.

I think … all of the craziness in college football over the first two weeks is totally necessary considering how chalky this sport gets.

I know … a whole lot of curveballs are coming, and then …

I believe … it’s still going to be Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Clemson in the College Football Playoff.

I think … Week 1 was fun because it was Week 1.

I know … Week 2 was a blast with a slew of intriguing games and several close calls and upsets.

I believe … Week 3 is a slate full of suck other than Alabama vs. Florida.

I think … people love to hammer on Nick Saban because he’s never happy despite being on an all-time great run.

I know … I’m not questioning his methods – the guy is doing something right.

I believe … even if it’s Mercer vs. the Tide, if someone is giving you an investment opportunity that includes a 53-0 lead walking into the stadium, you gladly accept the offer.

I think …  Texas is probably better than it looked against Arkansas.

I know … Texas A&M is much better than it looked against Colorado.

I believe … TCU is about to surprise everyone and become this year’s it team in the Big 12.

I think … Texas doesn’t HAVE to go to the SEC.

I know … Texas would be a far, far better fit in every way possible with the Big Ten or Pac-12.

I believe … that was Arkansas, son, not Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Ole Miss, or Texas A&M from the SEC West.

I think … after last year, there’s no taking for granted that we just got another full slate of college football games on Saturday, and …

I know … Week 1 of the NFL was fantastic, so …

I believe … all is right with the world.

I think … I know it’s all going to be okay.

I know … I believe it’s all going to be okay.

I believe … I think it’s all going to be okay.

Notre Dame (1-0) vs Toledo (1-0) Game Preview

Why Toledo Will Win

How gassed is Notre Dame?

Toledo had about a day-and-a-half more time to rest up and relax after its 49-10 win over Norfolk State, and Notre Dame had to get through an emotional 41-38 overtime fight with Florida State.

The Fighting Irish might have looked great at times offensively, but they got ripped up by the FSU running game for 264 yards and three scores as the game got nasty over the second half.

Toledo has the talent and the experience to make this more than just a spirited battle.

There’s a deep group of skill parts and a solid defensive front that should be able to hold up against a still-emerging Irish line. The Rockets have balance, explosion, and …

Why Notre Dame Will Win

You think Notre Dame will be a wee bit active defensively after the problems in Tallahassee?

New defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman took a social media hit for a D that somehow looked like it was playing a prevent run defense. This is a good group with the parts to be a whole lot better, and in this it just has to be okay while Jack Coan and the offense take care of the rest.

It’s not that the Irish took their foot off the gas, but they stalled late, the ground game didn’t go anywhere, and Coan ended up throwing for 366 yards and four scores.

Notre Dame will run a whole lot better this week.

What’s Going To Happen

Irish RB Kyren Williams wasn’t able to get loose. FSU made Coan try to win the game, and he did.

Toledo will come up with a few first half scores to make this a fight into the second half, but expect the Notre Dame defense to play with its hair on fire after the way the Monday night game ended.
