  1. To be fair, CUSA is trash, they're already respectable. App State and JMU fans seem to enjoy being able to watch their team on ESPN.
  2. What a fucking bye week. A pure celebration of college football, and most of the teams that I assume the vast majority of us wanted to win won their games, leaving us looking as content as Puddles in a whiteout: Now it's time for Texas to start our SEC schedule with a trip to the Swamp, along with some other strong games. Thursday Sam Houston State @ New Mexico State (-2) (9/8 CBSSN): This is not one of the strong games. At least Las Cruces is pretty? Friday Charlotte @ South Florida (-25) (7/6 ESPN2): USF is just barely out of the Top 25 and a serious contender for the G5 Playoff slot. Come watch them pummel a bad Charlotte team. Western Kentucky @ Delaware (-2) (7/6 CBSSN): Hey, it's our newest FBS school! The Fightin' Blue Hens already have wins against UConn and FIU and should be a match for perennial CUSA contenders WKU. QB Nick Minicucci (born 2005) can watch fellow UDel alum Joe Flacco (born 1985) play on Sunday - wild! New Mexico @ San Jose State (-2) (10/9 FS1): As a Texas fan who enjoys the comedy stylings of Nico Iamaleava, I've seen both of these teams play. Should be a fun one! West Virginia @ #23 BYU (-19) (10:30/9:30 ESPN): BYU gets another deep late night assignment and stays under the national radar as they plunder Sark's playbook of fun reverses. WVU is plumbing new depths of badness under RichRod 2.0, losing at home 48-14 to an unexceptional Utah squad. Saturday Early Games #14 Iowa State (-2) @ Cincinnati (12/11 ESPN2): Good day to get a slow warmup start into college football - the nooners are bad. This could be a fun trap game, though. Cincy looks revitalized somehow in a make-or-break year for Satterfield, and Nippert is a really fun, loud little stadium. Clemson (-14) @ North Carolina (12/11 ESPN): Appointment viewing for the Sickos among us - watch two heavily hyped disappointment have a slap fight in Chapel Hill. Air Force @ Navy (-7) (12/11 CBS): If the football product is bad this viewing window, you might as well max out the pageantry with a Commander in Chief's Cup faceoff in Annapolis. USAFA's only win is against Bucknell, but undefeated Navy looks like they could be a real threat in the dangerous AAC. Mid Afternoon #9 Texas (-7) @ Florida (3:30/2:30 ESPN): We're back! Will the Gators have any desire to save Billy Napier's job? Will the Texas offense show up? Will Florida score any points on the Texas defense? #16 Vanderbilt @ #10 Alabama (-12) (3:30/2:30 ABC): Bama won't exactly be overlooking Vandy after last year's embarassment and with Gameday coming to town, but this could still be a big emotional letdown. Kalen DeBoer's problem last year in Tuscaloosa was an inability to win the "small" games. Does this quality anymore? And is Diego Pavia a potential Heisman winner? #25 Virginia @ Louisville (-7) (3:30/2:30 ESPN2): Ranked Wahoos! Virginia comes into Louisville as pretty heavy underdogs, but lucked out in that their loss to NC State was "out of conference". The Cardinals are undefeated and ready to show up on the national stage. A surprisingly consequential matchup in the ACC! Primetime #3 Miami (-5) @ #18 Florida State (7:30/6:30 ABC): Hell yeah, a primetime in-state rivalry with the high-flying Canes facing a wounded Noles team. Cristobal and Norvell are high-delta coaches and this is the state of Florida, this could be really chaotic. PS: Squirrel White is ok after this reenactment of World War Z Minnesota @ #1 Ohio State (-22) (7:30/6:30 NBC): Yeah, not a lot of depth in this slot to be honest. Mississippi State @ #6 Texas A&M (-12) (7:45/6:45 SECN): Miss State is much improved from a very low floor, but this feels like another ratchet up the rollercoaster. RIP Pac-12 After Dark Duke (-2) @ California (10:30/9:30 ESPN): An Atlantic Coast battle on the shores of San Francisco Bay. Which team's faint ACC hopes will stay alive on a foggy night in Berkeley? Have fun, y'all. Even the quieter cfp weekends find ways to have some fireworks.
  3. Especially that time Sean Miller hired his dad
  4. I was about to say, as the song says North Carolina is "the land of the pines" to the point the state tree is the pine, and it sure as shit isn't Deep South.
  5. Their AD publicly said their football organizational setup isn't national championship caliber. They need a guy that can really rally the boosters and has some CEO to him.
  6. Eh, look at GaTech, Vandy, Indiana, and Illinois all being good. Duke has pretty excellent NIL money, too. Depends on the midmajor. Feels like Northwestern could really prosper once the new stadium is done with their alumni base.
  7. Beamer at South Carolina has a similar schedule issue, especially with the preseason top 15 ranking already flushed.
  8. NC State will be on the carousel too, they're sick of Dave Doeren and just lost to VaTech
  9. Pure trash from Colorado. They looked pretty cool every time last year and have good colors - what is this all grey shit?
  10. He and the horndog covering Miss State can share tips
  11. Oklahoma got recruits from Oklahoma. News at 11.
  12. Hotty toddy gosh almighty. Get fucked Corndogs.
  13. Ole Miss is cool. LSU fans are awful.
  14. Refs out here manufacturing a drive for LSU
  15. Well, Wake got worked over by the zebras, but Georgia Tech is a lot more likeable than the usual ACC suspects so buzz buzz Jackets.
  16. No conference protects its undefeateds like the ACC. They put in a heroic effort trying to save Miami last year.
  17. Lol suck it USC. Wake is getting fucking hosed by the ACC refs.
  18. Perhaps Illinois shouldn't have kept manning up Lemon with a white CB named Tanner Henkel
  19. Georgia Tech how are you giving up game critical first downs to "Sawyer Racanelli"
  20. Hate these Wake helmets - they look like Army with the block letters. They should go with a Deac head for alternates.
  21. So you're saying that rushing the field is ok but only after a solemn 30 seconds of acknowledgement that FSU is overrated? The staff should have held them back longer but otherwise if you're a UVA football fan go enjoy what will likely be your one top ten home win in your time in Cville.
  22. "Cougars and Beavers for your late night viewing pleasure" - this man knew what he was doing
