Black Friday slate seems bigger (more games) than usual

Annual Arkansas and Iowa games getting competition for eyeballs

Tulane 7-0
SMU 7-0
UTSA 7-0

Winner of UTSA-Tulane on Friday is in. SMU in as well with a win over Navy on Saturday. If SMU loses, then we get a UTSA-Tulane rematch in the championship.

This may be the one game this season I watch from kickoff to final whistle, though I'd be fine with a Green Wave blowout and a free late afternoon/"prevening". Roll Wave, Roll!

Russillo really trying to sell that FSU should be out of the playoff even if undefeated (which is no guarantee). Second time he pissed me off this year and this one might be worse than when he said he was out on Tatum a few years ago.

Their entire offense is based on the QBs legs. If they win out they deserve it, but I really don't see them doing that anymore.

Not this year. He was running way less

Season Pass yards 2755
Season Rush yards 176

Of course if the lose they are out but that isn’t what Vinyid Charlie was selling

It's still all RPO plays though, isn't it? So the threat is part of the system.

All that said, their backup QB supposedly is quite good.

Tate has looked good when he has played but he has not played much.

It's a team sport. If they finish undefeated, they should absolutely be in.

At least it is at the collegiate level

Washington jumped over Florida State to #4 in CFP rankings.

FSU scheduled LSU out of conference. Fuck outta here with anything else unless team XYZ did the same thing (no other equivalent unbeaten team did).

I haven't listened yet, but he's beyond biased by recent year pedigree. It's a bizarre infatuation that I don't understand put against his takes otherwise.

Well maybe one of the top four will lose this week.

That’s fine. I don’t care right now how the undefeated are ranked. My gripe is drama crafters saying if FSU goes undefeated that various one loss teams should be in over them. We could easily blow at UF and then Louisville.

What have OSU or Michigan done this year to be ranked over FSU? OSU I can see the ND win, fine, but Michigan hasn't played anyone.

snowmanny · Nov 21, 2023

Isn’t Penn State ranked above Notre Dame?

Pretty sure either 2 or 3 will lose.

They had to play Penn State. ND is the toughest non conference between the two teams.

ND is not better than Clemson so nothing really. It’s not that I think FSU should be 5 it’s that I’m not that excited about it and I don’t think it matters as OSU/Michigan will take one of them out.

snowmanny · Nov 21, 2023

Well after this week OSU and Michigan will have each played someone better than anyone FSU has played, and one of them will also lose, so all of this is moot.

Dude really wants to be bowl eligible

canderson · Nov 23, 2023

Egg Bowl is bad football but close so yay.

I completely forgot Spencer Sanders plays for Ole Miss

Iowa/Nebraska Over/Under is 25.5.

Ale Xander · Nov 24, 2023

High chance of multiple pick 6’s, I’d take the over (if I was a gambler which I’m not)

At this rate that bet is a layup.

Having the only two games with playoff implications on at the same time tonight truly sucks

Multi-screen an option? I’m watching four games simultaneously at the moment.

Ale Xander · Nov 24, 2023

2 more field foals and over is hit (Corn Bowl)

they might be showing them too much the the “punts” sweatshirts are inspired

axx · Nov 24, 2023

Not so Purdy there.

And then they were gonna kick the FG but the Kicker didn't go out in time

When Purdy was on FSU I didn’t realize he was Brock’s brother

axx · Nov 24, 2023

Oh no... Neb punts instead and downed at the 1. But no flag for the guy that touched it first cuz he went OOB?

I’m not seeing any of this and have the game on: did you catch that live?

Yeah. And Neb almost got the safety too.

axx · Nov 24, 2023

Oof... Neb FG not even close.

shawnrbu · Nov 24, 2023

Missed field goal actually bad for the under.

canderson · Nov 24, 2023

Pure Nebraska on that.

luckiestman · Nov 24, 2023

I like Rhule as a program builder but he is playing so afraid to lose that he cannot win. Made sense with the previous QB who absolutely sucked but could run a little. Purdy is decent enough to let him throw a little.

axx · Nov 24, 2023

OMG, what a bad idea to throw there. The penalty probably makes it moot, but still.

axx · Nov 24, 2023

Now Neb has to take a timeout because the playclock was near 0. That's a big timeout.

Ale Xander · Nov 24, 2023

Big 10’west offense is offensive

Ale Xander · Nov 24, 2023

Where are you throwing?
went from W to L instantly

sorry, @Greg29fan

canderson · Nov 24, 2023

GJGE corn

Kremlin Watcher · Nov 24, 2023

Lol. What a terrible game.
