Will Muschamp is so terrible. And Texas is 1-2 for the 2nd straight year.

Fucking A. So close, blown coverage on that last play and a great throw by Driskel.

Lol....I don't follow the PAC 12 at all but flipped over to see the UCLA QB doing a post game interview, immediately knew his last name! Look like Dad much?

College and NFL have same procedures on this? I know in the NFL once that official sees the "0" on the clock he then looks to see if the ball has been snapped but often taking 1/3-1/2 second...this screenshot could've captured that before the ref looks to the ball.

Honestly, I'd rank the Gators #2 in the East, maybe they win it. They get USC, LSU, Missouri at home and obviously, Georgia at a neutral site. I see them finishing 8-4 or 9-3 because unfortunately for them, they play at Alabama and at Florida State.

Lol no. Florida is not good. Two bad teams playing a fun game doesn't make the winner a good team. That was two not very good football teams last night.

Oregon, FSU, Bama, Oklahoma.

I'm fine with that playoff, for one main reason. It's four DIFF conferences. As long as there is never 2 teams from same conf. in this playoff, it'll work.

ahead of either UGA or SC? No. Missouri is debatable I suppose. Rest of the East is trash, so its not really saying much.

Clear cut top four right now, with Auburn lurking. It'll be interesting to see who emerges moving forward.

Nice call there chief. Haha. Too bad for us that this is one thing Haden can't control.

Although with the lack of depth, I have noticed that their Freshman are studs. JuJu Smith, Mama, Jackson (two way player now), Dixon, etc.

UCLA beats Texas in Texas and gets leap frogged by Michigan State (they beat team BYE) in this weeks AP Poll. If it wasn't UCLA, I wouldn't find it as funny but it is pretty bad that it happened.

Why is Baylor possibly ahead of LSU? No logical justification there.

lol at Notre Dame in the top 10. The voters really never learn.

I never said the East is good. I said Florida has a great chance to win the East. Their scheduled is so favorable, and they will get blasted by FSU and Bama.

There are 4 or 5 teams in the West better than anyone in the East.

Msu would destroy ucla. They haven't looked good at all.

They've already learned. ND near the top = a SHIT LOAD of money. As long as ND is winning...the NCAA is making money and writers are able to get page hits by writing any type of article about Notre Dame (either for them or against them). It's really smart business to keep ranking ND high.

I don't know if it's that corporate driven, probably the bigger driver is the fact Golson has looked good and a good QB does wonders for rankings

BGSU game was awesome this weekend. Pretty exciting game and was on the sidelines for it too, will say IU was totally gassed from that "Falcon Fast" offense. BGSU isn't that bad for the B1G either considering they're the defending MAC champs and almost beat Pitt last year in the Little Caesars Bowl

I really like BG +19 this week against Wisconsin. Think they can stay with the Badgers, assuming that offense can continue.

I think you're vastly overestimating the influence of Notre Dame on the bottom line. The one national title game they appeared in is the 12th highest rated national title game out of 16.

They still bring a shit ton of $$$$ my friend.
There is a reason why they are still an at large for the playoff committee in the same breath as the Power 5.
