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.

TIL that Delaware moved to FBS. They were a very good not great FCS/I-AA program with some NCs and decently recent playoff success. A lot of local support and enthusiasm, a good tradition of winning. 

I really wonder about the economics of this and in the long run being worth it.  I know if I were an alum I’d rather see my team do really well and be a FCS playoff contender against my old rivals than watch them just flounder about in the lower reaches of G5.  Delaware will likely never sniff a CFP playoff.

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.

I don't like Pavia or mouthy little runt QBs.  Reminds me of Mayfield and Manziel.  I hope he gets ground into dust.

If Pavia played for OU or aggy, or even Ohio State, there would probably be a 15+ page thread about him being mouthy, wanting a 7th year of eligibility, etc. 

Instead, everyone loves him because he plays for Vanderbilt.  He's still a mouthy little jackass who needs to get a god damn job.

After win vs jawja, Bama might have had a letdown performance  until dumbass pavia pops off...

Also in above article...

At least part of Pavia's confidence in Vandy's chances against Bama comes from the fact that former Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Johnny Manziel now has his ear. Manziel has become friendly with Pavia since moving to Nashville, and he will be in attendance as Pavia tries to double up on wins over Alabama, exceeding Manziel's famous road upset of the Crimson Tide as quarterback for Texas A&M.

"I beat [Alabama] once. Diego's got a chance to beat them twice," Manziel told On3. "That's the kind of s--t they build statues for."
