Minnesota got fucked in their potential comeback against Michigan. Phantom offside call on the recovered onside kick.

UM fan on my FB right before the game bitching about ACC refs taking care of Miami to end that game 🤷🏻‍♂️

I guess be happy you are on the good side of the bs

This may be the one of the best games I’ve ever watched.

I can’t believe Smith isn’t far and away the best freshman WR, but Williams at Bama is right there.

Pretty annoyed that I turned off the Bama Georgia game because it was such a blowout early on.

I almost did the same.  It was a great game.  Would have like to see Georgia hang on to the historic comeback.

Tennessee let’s Arkansas score late to allow time and save 2 timeouts


Need a TD in 1:17 to win

Can’t believe how many kickers miss 35-45yard field goals. Maybe I’m expecting too much but they’re division one kickers. It should be routine? 

Texas’s kicker missed one from that distance right before halftime. But there was a timeout so he got another shot and missed it again. 

Cal’s kicker missed one that would have given them the lead late against ranked Pittsburgh.

SC kicker missed an easy one too. I don’t understand it either. College kickers are so bad. You recruit for everything else, why not specialty positions?

Did you see the Pitt kicker annihilate a 58 yd FG (in that stadium)…..hit a 1/3 of way up the net.

Pitt gave up a 1st down on 3rd and 19, 3rd and 14, 3rd 12 and 3rd and 9

Like actually watching the Sunday team today winning 17-15

Other teams are losing and they’ll be ranked from 20-23…..but literally any decent team could beat them, but they keep finding a way. My kid is happy because they are now bowl eligible and he’ll enjoy that trip if they win 2-3 more games

I was half paying attention to that and USC - PSU. 

Pitt is a pleasant surprise good team, much like Indiana and Army.

Syracuse is good enough to beat them next week, Louisville as well. I think they lose at ranked SMU and Clemson will hammer them….but if still undefeated for that game I’m going

Yeah, can’t say I get it either. We had a kid in high school last year that was highly rated at the big kicking camps. Kicking kickoff out of the end zone in high school. 50 yard FG’s in high school and all kinds of videos of him booming them near 60 yards….an absolute weapon that never missed squaring the ball…..only got offered to UVA-Wise….a super tiny college school

He’s better than many of the kickers on certain top 25 teams

Oregon receiver….nice composure 


You wanna play the #2 team in the land in prime time at home….no I want to spit on the defender and get ejected with the world and every scout in the world watching

Not knowing the rules cost them 8-10 seconds and Oregon was smart with 6 seconds to open up the running lane for him. 2 steps sooner they have a 51 yd FG attempt

Can’t believe all those people on the sideline and no one is concerned that time is ticking. You get it down to ten seconds and you safely can run one play (before the FG). We see how risky it is to try for two plays. 

Don’t think it’s a very big deal. You can lose two games and still be in the playoff conversation. 

New rankings for next week:

1) Texas

2) Oregon

3) PSU

4) Georgia

5) Miami (FL)

6) Alabama

7) OSU 

8) Tennessee 

OSU and Tennessee may be switched. Tennessee needed overtime to beat a lousy Florida team at home.

Still don’t understand why Day didn’t go for two on those last couple of touchdowns.

No coach has done less with more than Ryan Day.  Highest paid roster and coaching staff in the country, highest budget of beard dye in the world.  5* after 5* all over the roster, and cannot win a big game.


Just a soft man/team.

Jimbo won a natty at least.

Cooper and Weis didn't have the level of talent on the roster that Day has had.


It's Day's style/personality, it's all finesse.  You have 1st and 10 in FG range to win the game, and you call a pass??  Okay dumb moment, but you can redeem yourself.. 2nd down.. ANOTHER PASS?!  Offensive PI, you're now pushed back out of FG range.


Just bad coaching.
