Looking forward to coming home after the Gopher game to watch Bama/A&M.
 

i think roll tide rolls.
 

Just up the road, Ole Miss vs. Texas. This could be a very competitive game.
 


I think A&M beats Bama again... they've played 2 games & look really sharp right now...
 


I'm not sure who I want to win between A&M and Bama. Can they both lose?

Illinois-Washington and UCLA-Nebraska could be good ones as well.
 

Best sign so far:

Michigan takes back the lead over Akron. Exciting finish.

Nebraska was up 21-3 over UCLA, now down 38-21.
 









this could get really interesting here for mich.....
 

Someone tell Kill or Teague not to schedule Akron. Whoever makes the schedule:rolleyes:
 

and nebraska is just embarrassing themselves right now
 



What a stupid play call. They wasted 10 seconds. Quick pass into the end zone would make more sense. Then they would have a chance at two more plays potentially.
 



What was worse at the end of that Michigan game - the officiating or the Akron coaching from inside the 1 with 24 seconds left - you decide:

Officials call a very touchy INT call against Akron that sets up Michigan's final TD. But they're not done there, throwing a couple more questionable flags against Akron on their last drive. But, Akron still manages to get the ball just inside the 1, 1st down, 24 seconds on the clock, and a Mich player comes off of the field for an injury timeout. Then what happens next is so very predictable when it comes to $$$,$$$,$$$ programs.

There are 24 seconds left on the clock, clock is stopped for injury. Akron inexplicably doesn't spike the ball, instead let's 9 seconds run off the clock, and is just about to finally start the play. Suddenly the officials whistle the ball dead and, after a good minute or two time delay, decide to "review the previous play", though there was absolutely nothing to review. They also don't put time back on the clock to do this, instead forcing Akron to wait to start the play until the clock restarts. Now, in theory, this requires a good 2 seconds (unless you are Purdue at Minnesota and want to put your whole FG kicking team on the field to kick a tying 53-yarder, in which case the crew will give you all the clock you want), since the official setting the ball needs to back out of the players' way. Even so, Akron has now had about 3 minutes to get their play ready, and to snap the ball as soon as allowed. However, they run a horrific motion play, which takes another 6 seconds off of the clock before the play starts. What's worse if they run a goal-line power toss sweep from inside the 1 against a much more athletic Mich defense, which predictably breaks through the line and snuffs the play for a 3 yard loss. Akron isn't given a TO until 5 seconds left on the clock.

Now, Akron could still get in two plays if they are quick about it. They run a pass play to the back of the end zone, however, which doesn't come close to completion and the ball lands on the ground with 1 second left. At which point the clock is allowed to run to zero, the Michigan defense takes off their helmets and the rest of the Michigan team runs onto the field to celebrate; and Akron coaching staff makes no argument while the officiating crew doesn't bother to actually review THIS play to figure out whether or not time should actually still be on the clock.

RIDICULOUS. Still not sure who was paid off more to let Michigan walk away with the win in this game - the referees or the Akron coaching staff.
 


I hope he leaves after this year (he did redshirt so he is eligible) and has a Tebow-like career.
 

I'd love to see Manziel destroy Saban today.
 


Oww, my eyes, my eyes!!!
Tennesee @ Oregon causes blindness, what an oogly boogly...
 


Texas A&M is looking strong. Up 14-0 early on Alabama.
