Gotta love Twitter. Start a rumor and watch it spread. Get enough people tweeting it and then you get peoe like Cowherd mentioning it.

 

It really is ridiculous. The EDSBS reader comment about how Kiffin tried to hit on their friend under the psuedonym Joey Freshwater was worth it, though.

Middle Tennessee?

Butch Jones is a bad coach. He needs to recruit a QB. An average QB would've won them the game.

To be fair, Illinois was only a 3.5 point favorite. Now that Beckman is gone, I have actually been watching the games again. A win is a win.

Duke beat a top 25 team. That NW resume keeps getting better.

62-13 Utah. At Oregon. Holy s***.

 

Good news for Michigan. Not so good news for Michigan State.

Pac 12 blow out night.

Yep. Love it.

Michigan State has not looked like the #2 team. Definitely caught a break with Oregon transitioning.

 

I don't think Michigan will beat them but I'm starting to tilt to the side that they may have a shot.

I haven't seen a truly dominant team yet. I think any of these teams could end up in the playoff:

 

Ohio St, Michigan St, Mississippi, Georgia, LSU, Alabama, Clemson, Utah, UCLA, USC, Baylor, Oklahoma, Notre Dame.

Maty Mauk has been 2014 Jeff Driskel territory and lost like 10 players last game.

 

Sigh, reload year. Nice thing is this ridiculous freshman defensive line. But I don't get how our offensive line regressed.

I don't think they're that good, but if FSU beats Clemson at home, their toughest remaining game is at Florida. Can't see an undefeated ACC team being left out.

So I know this is kind of crazy but I'm pretty optimistic for the game vs Nebraska. I have a feeling (not a lot of logic behind it) that Cubit has been keeping the offense fairly simple to start the year and will open it up to take advantage of Nebby's terrible pass defense. I think we pull this game off somehow, and Nebraska fans go into full panic mode.

I can't see FSU being undefeated with Mr. Turnover as their QB.

If Michigan finds a way to win out, they'll make the playoff. That Utah game quickly turned into one of the most "forgivable" losses.

Baylor - Texas Tech over under is 89. I wouldn't dare bet on the under either. The Big 12 is craziness

Bet the under on any game being played in the Carolinas.

ND - Clemson is a pick 'em.

 

Essentially, ND is favored by 4.

Given the weather, I wouldn't dare bet the winner. I'd put a lot on the under though.

That's gonna be a really tough game for them. Death Valley is a very difficult place to play, especially in primetime

I disagree. Sloppy field conditions lead to bad tackling, more fumbles, which can lead to more fluky big touchdown plays. I see where you are coming from, but I don't think it makes the under a lock just because they can't pass the ball much.

Without all the injuries I would say ND would have boatraced them, now it could be a nice entertaining game.

ND is in good shape against run-first offenses, but their secondary is weak. USC is by far the worst matchup on ND's schedule.

The super athletic OLB helps negate a large part of the spread offense's ability to run and pass outside and ND happens to have one of the best in the country. I suspect that he will have a big game against Clemson.
