😬 The (Bryce) Young & The Restless

So, even at this early point in the season, fans are beginning to experience the full spectrum of emotion that comes with rooting for your favorite teams on Saturdays and Sundays. Some fans may be feeling euphoric, dreaming of playoff births and championships with their teams still undefeated (👀 looking at you, Memphis, Steelers and Chargers fans!), while others may be coming to the realization that their seasons may be over before they even started (sorry FSU, Florida, and Miami Dolphins fans 😢😢)!

Fans aren’t the only ones on this roller coaster ride 🎢🎢 Some teams are already looking to salvage their season; just take a look at the Carolina Panthers, who made the decision to bench Bryce Young, the 2023 #1 overall pick, in favor of the Red Rocket👨‍🦰after just two games! Some college teams are probably having some buyer’s remorse too, if their high-paid NIL players aren’t producing the results the fans expected (maybe Riley Leonard can make up for that NIU loss over the course of the season 🤔🤔) I guess not all teams are as fortunate as Texas to have a Manning as their backup QB!

TRIVIA
⚔️ David & Goliath: CFB Edition ⚔️

Much to the surprise of just about EVERYONE, the then-No.1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs barely escaped Kentucky last week, beating the unranked Wildcats 13-12 in Lexington! Despite losing their number 1 ranking, the Bulldogs lived to fight another day, and only time will tell on whether Kentucky exposed some of Georgia’s weaknesses or if Brock Vandagriff just worked some magic against his former team. This near-miss does raise an interesting question: When was the last time an unranked team beat the No. 1 ranked team?? (Hint: This game was the first time Nick Saban lost to one of his former assistants.)
