Let's get into some week zero overreactions, shall we? And right off the jump, I'll tell you this.

TCU is headed towards disaster, in my opinion.

That was my first takeaway from that football game.

That's what stood out to me.

I'm not fully convinced that UNC is good, and we'll get to them in a second, but let's start with TCU.

And let's take a look at the last four Ireland losers that have all left, for the most part, with bad vibes and have since tanked.

I think TCU might be on a similar path.

So it started the, the air Lingus classic game out in Dublin week zero.

It came back after many, many years away in 2022.

You remember that game, Nebraska Northwestern, the surprise onside kick from Scott Frost that did not make a lick of sense.

And Northwestern ends up, I believe kicking a game winning field goal there to beat them.

Coaching malpractice from Scott Frost, you know, brought terrible vibes back to Nebraska.

That was the Northwestern team, by the way.

That was the only game they won.

They lost to an FCS team two weeks later.

1-11, Northwestern went that season.

But Nebraska, they end up going 4-8.

They fire Scott Frost.

So next year, in 2023, Navy's the Ireland loser.

They lose to Notre Dame and go 5-7.

I think 2024, that's more noticeable, or more notable, rather.

Florida State coming off of the undefeated season, taking on Georgia Tech.

That team loses to Georgia Tech on the field goal.

They end up going 7-5, that Georgia Tech team did.

Florida State, if you remember, finished 2-10, and DJ Uyonglele benched.
