Gus Johnson is completely beaten down by Fox constantly picking horrible B1G mismatches for Big Noon Saturday

Also... wut

Public transit beef!

You know what's pretty slimy? Telling Mizzou you're still committed while recruiting other players to A&M.

We should play our rivals, it's half the point of college football

"Florida just got violated in Austin" ah it's nice to be good again

Kent State is SO bad. Sheesh. (Also lol Tom Herman)

Seems like an impactful trip

Really setting up a win over the 2024 Auburn Tigers as a triumphant primetime road battle worthy of a rankings bump aren't they?

Mizzou - South Carolina is also a ranked matchup, but it's definitely the undercard.

Get out the napalm and let's smoke some ribs, it's Fayettenam week. Otherwise, a pretty quiet weekend considering the time in the season. Hope for some spicy upset bids. Ranking are AP, lines are Circa opening lines. Tuesday games Western Michigan @ Bowling Green (-8) (7/6 ESPN2): All eyes on Wood County, Ohio as the league-leading Falcons host third-place WMU. Prime MACtion! There are two middleweight MAtChups running concurrently, so watch whichever of Central Michigan @ Toledo (-14) (7/6 ESPNU) or Ball State @ Buffalo (-5) (7/6 CBSSN) floats your boat. Wednesday games Eastern Michigan @ Ohio (-8) (7/6 ESPN2): This one is #7 @ #4, and it's still the best game of the night. Ohio has a surprisingly good-looking and hard-partying student body, so that's fun. The two other games are not good. The worst team in the FBS vs. #2 in the MAC, Kent State @ Miami (OH) (-33) (7/6 ESPNU) and Akron @ Northern Illinois (-15) (7/6 CBSSN) is just two bad teams. It might be close at least. Thursday game East Carolina (-14) @ Tulsa (7:30/6:30 ESPN): The Pirates have been on a tear after firing their coach, and can get bowl-eligible with a win against the hapless Golden Hurricane. How much did that team fucking hate Mike Houston? Friday games North Texas (-2) @ UTSA (8/7 ESPN2): The AAC's middle class has a Friday night battle. UNT can put up points on anyone except the US Army. Wyoming @ Colorado State (-10) (8/7 CBSSN): The Rams are undefeated in the Mountain West and might end up with the most wins of any Texas opponent. UCLA @ Washington (-5) (9/8 Fox): A classic B1G battle. UCLA has shown some life by beating Iowa and (lol) Nebraska. Washington is sailgating in the wrong direction. Houston @ Arizona (-1) (10:15/9:15 FS1): These teams are not good, although Willie Fritz has UH at .500 in conference, which is a nice job considering Holgo left that program in ashes. Saturday games #3 Texas (-15) @ Arkansas (12/11 ABC): The best part of the SEC move is getting all three classic Texas rivalries back on an annual basis. Arkansas is chaotic, which has caught a couple teams off guard, but in general they aren't very good. Pulled pork and ribs for lunch. #25 Tulane (-6) @ Navy (12/11 ESPN2): Navy let ND beat them twice after flunking the Rice test the week after, but they righted the ship against South Florida. Tulane is the AAC favorite, but they have to head to Annapolis. Should be a fun game. #17 Clemson (-11) @ Pitt (12/11 ESPN): Pitt has fallen apart after SMU, so Clemson should be able to walk into an echoing Heinz Field and keep their ACC championship hopes alive. Keep an eye on Chicago to see if Ryan Day tries to throw into a heavy lake effect wind every play again (#2 Ohio State (-31) vs Northwestern @ Wrigley Field, 12/11 BTN). Utah @ #18 Colorado (-9) (12/11 Fox) has two Heisman contenders in a beautiful setting and is hosting Big Noon Kickoff. - Nebraska @ USC (-7) (4/3 Fox): In an extremely sleepy midafternoon slate, let's go watch an expensive car crash as two bluebloods try to crawl to bowl eligibility. Nebraska hit five wins and then immediately drove into a ditch. Dana Holgerson has been brought in as OC to drunk drive the Huskers out of it. USC beat LSU and immediately went into the tank. They need two wins from Nebraska, UCLA, and Notre Dame to make a bowl. #21 LSU (-7) @ Florida (3:30/2:30 ABC): LSU should win in a nice helmet matchup, but these teams are not good. Boston College @ #14 SMU (-15) (3:30/2:30 ESPN): Bill O'Brien has started the repair job after the Addazio era in Chestnut Hill, but the ACC-leading Mustangs should be way too much for them. #24 Missouri @ #23 South Carolina (-10) (4:15/3:15 SECN): Mizzou is kind of still alive for the Playoff. South Carolina might be the hottest team in college football. Drew Pyne might get killed. Virginia @ #8 Notre Dame (-21) (3:30/2:30 NBC) might be worthy of an upset watch look. Baylor @ West Virginia (-1) (4/3 ESPN2) is a hot seat bowl, which always have a weird intensity. - #6 Tennessee @ #11 Georgia (-9) (7/6 ABC): Another primetime SEC playoff elimination game! Carson Beck's one-man crusade to lead UGA out of the Playoff can reach its climax between the hedges against Josh Heupel's Vols. Arizona State @ #20 Kansas State (-6) (7/6 ESPN): The Big 12 is a parity-ridden clusterfuck, and this championship contender battle could throw more wrenches into its quest for national relevance. #1 Oregon (-15) @ Wisconsin (7:30/6:30 NBC): Oregon continues to slink along as a very quiet number one, which is ironic for such a brash program. Can they survive the cauldron of Camp Randall? The Ashton Jeanty show rolls on in the South Bay (#13 Boise State (-14.5) @ San Jose State, 7/6 CBSSN) and a Cincinnati team desperate to get bowl-eligible can save their coach's job by beating the free-falling Cyclones (Cincinnati @ Iowa State (-6), 8/7 Fox). - Two After Dark specials for your viewing pleasure: Kansas @ #7 BYU (-5) (10:15/9:15 ESPN): Kansas has been showing life recently, including shocking the Cyclones. BYU barely escaped Holy War (with a little help from the zebras). San Diego State @ UNLV (-20.5) (10:30/9:30 CBSSN): Are you a Sicko? UNLV is still alive for the MWC title, but needs a Colorado State loss to make that dream a reality.

I think everyone on this board is aware of who is on our schedule Saturday and remembers the 2021 game.

Kentucky under Stoops can be a really fucking annoying pothole (ask Ole Miss and UGA), and they're sitting in a prime trap game spot in the schedule. Thank goodness that one's at home.

One other factor with Cignetti - he's 63. His career's been a slow burn. If he wants a blueblood job he doesn't have time to give IU three years, he needs to take it now. Works in OU's favor.

49ers Shanahan? The Texas alum that has told everyone who will listen he never wants to coach in college?

Florida has always stood out for me for having the tackiest "aggressive" 90s branding with the logo and athletic font and then gorgeous simple uniforms.

Man, the Tom Herman years just got memory-holed in there. The Arkansas loss is easily the most deflating loss of the Sark era for me, even if it was Year One. UGA this year at least was against a fully motivated defense of actual Terminators. Sometimes Georgia will do that to you, no matter how good you are. OU last year sucked hard but we bounced back immediately. Arkansas was so mid, and we were still much, much worse at every facet of the game. I thought we were on shit coach #3. Anyway, fuck 'em, this is a bad team and a morning start, time to get scoreboard back and shit all over the end of their season.
