Georgia Tech has a good of a chance right now as any of the smaller schools to make the playoffs, they gotta finish. USF v Miami should be fun. I love that any school provided they basically win out and beat a ranked team or two has a chance to get in,

It could be for recruiting/exposure reasons up in the northeast. Dunno.

 

It could be that one of his parents worked at Reese AFB and got relocated to Tinker.

Dude, you could be alive just to take fun out of life... jokes are fun. I like chitown.

It still doesn't explain in today's world of college football, why in the hell the Sooners are playing in Philly.

Satisfying a home/home that was booked a long time ago.

Are you suggesting they should just stay in the very fertile recruiting grounds of Oklahoma instead of making a guaranteed win trip to Pennsylvania?

When Arians was HC?

I get the variables for normal scheduling- exposure to that great basketball hotbed in the NE, or even a 2 for 1 exchange of home & homes.

This matchup makes zero sense in Philly.

Is there a single game on worth a shit right now besides Clemson/GT? 

Meh.  S Alabama driving down 21-3 with 6 minutes left in the half.  Inside the Auburn 20.  
Edited:  21-10  Edited:  21-9

We going to get a lot of think pieces and ESPN segments on how shitty Cade is compared to the hype or is that only reserved for Arch?

To be fair, Cade was really shitty two years ago and awesome last year, so there's precedent. Arch has no excuse

There’s a whole article in The Athletic.  It’s nothing special.  But they did an article because it’s odd.  Temple was pretty good when they did it.  OU also got a 2 for 1 and didn’t have to pay to play a subdivision team so saved some cash.  We don’t have billionaire money.  Here’s a part of the article.  
 

Temple football had just ripped off the first of two consecutive 10-win seasons under coach Matt Rhule, and the school’s athletic department leadership was thinking big.

The time was right to start pushing for a football stadium for the Owls, who were — and still are — playing their home games at Lincoln Financial Field, the 67,594-seat home of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Then-athletic director Pat Kraft gave chief of staff Sean Padden an assignment: Find a blue blood, a traditional power, one of those programs with easily recognizable helmets, to agree to play a road game against Temple so they could tell school and city officials, “If you build it, they will come.”

“I called all over the place,” said Padden, who now works for Rhule at Nebraska. “I called USC. I called UCLA. I called Alabama. I called Florida. The guy from Florida, I can’t remember who it was, but he was the only one that was most honest with me. He was like, ‘Sean, you just won 10 games. I don’t know what’s going on up there.’”

Padden found an enthusiastic taker in Oklahoma, fresh off the first of four College Football Playoff appearances in five years as Big 12 champions, and in June of 2016 the schools announced a “two-for-one” series: The Owls would open the 2024 and 2028 seasons in Norman, and the Sooners would play in the City of Brotherly Love on Sept. 13, 2025.

I’m waiting for the South Florida v Miami game (of course the UT game also.) I like both of the HC’s or Georgia Tech and South Florida. 
 

the Clemson game ain’t over or does no one remember the like 8 OTs against Georgia that Georgia Tech got routinely screwed by Kirby calling Time Outs? Georgia Tech doesn’t fold, but their futures lie with King’s health.

aggy Haynes King has shown up this half. 

It cracks me bc even when he goes aggy he is still a better QB than anyone else aggy has put on the field at that position in a while. Which…they should have kept him.

Well the original “Title Town” is Green Bay Wisconsin.

And it's also a "Tidal Town" since it's on the shore of Lake Michigan. 

Get it? "Tidal" town?

 

I'll see myself out.
