Another week is upon us! Other than the battle for the Chair, there are a few other games that could be solid.
  • No. 10 LSU Vs. No. 17 Vanderbilt
  • No. 5 Ole Miss Vs. No. 9 Georgia
  • No. 7 Texas Tech Vs. Arizona State
  • No. 11 Tennessee Vs. No. 6 Alabama
  • No. 20 USC Vs. No. 13 Notre Dame
  • No. 23 Utah Vs. No. 15 BYU
What's less than an intriguing match-up is the game on right now between Delaware and Jacksonville State. No disrespect, but it still feels like I'm watching an FCS game bumped up to prime time.

Excuse me?

1-5 UTEP vs 0-6 Sam Houston would like a word with you.

Sigh, I have both those games, along with the ALCS on.

I need help.
 


I was late to the starting line on this one, thanks for taking the lead. Let's have a good week of games!
 

Most of the Big Ten in action but not a lot of great matchups this week.

Nebraska at Minnesota - Hopefully we keep our run of dominance going against Nebraska.

Washington at Michigan could be interesting. Washington can put up points.

Purdue at Northwestern......moving on

Ohio State at Wisconsin - yeah....going to get ugly quickly and I love it

Michigan State at Indiana - will probably be over by the end of the 1st quarter.

Oregon at Rutgers - pissed off Oregon team ready to take out frustration on Rutgers

Penn State at Iowa - Will be interesting to see what if any fight PSU has left

Maryland at UCLA - A few weeks ago it looked like UCLA wouldn't win a game, now they are favored to push their winning streak to 3 games.

USC at Notre Dame - Still not really sure what USC is, good chance for them to get a nice road upset.
 



Louisville carved up the Wetherman's defense on the opening drive.
 





North Carolina fumbles on their first play from scrimmage. Cal scores a few plays later.
 






North Carolina playing a conference game that starts at 10:30 local time is very funny to me.
 






I just got points (+1.5) to bet on #10 LSU versus Vanderbilt

Indiana is a win vs MSU for the Old Brass Spittoon away from being #2 in the nation in football in late October.

Never say never, Gopher fans
 

I’m old enough to remember when an 11am kickoff meant the ball was kicked off pretty close to 11am

effs up the whole rest of the day when they don’t kick off on time
 



Is Underwood's cousin doing the commentary on Fox? Listening to him, you'd think Underwood is the favorite to win the Heisman as a freshman.
 

This isn't related to another game but I am reminded when I watch other games.....the Coke Zero CFB commercials are atrocious and obviously made by AI with oversight from some marketing exec that has never watched the sport.

1. The "scream" commercials from last year were the worst ever. Nobody screams like that when watching a game on their phone.
2. The one this year about fans going into "hostile" territory is laughably stupid. Not only does the Big House not have theater seats but is any self respecting fan just going to tap the logo on their sleeve when an opposing fan sits down?

That's my "get off my lawn" take for today. Carry on.

mess with the fighting pavias at your own peril
 

Michigan singing Mr Brightside is a lame tradition. Wish we'd scrap that song as well
