Hope they swap the 4AM game to MSU/tOSU

Sucks there is UFC and NBA again preventing the Oregon/Utah game. that should be a good one, and the Ducks playoff hopes on the line

You'd think they will swap the game with the biggest interest and implications for the CFP

[AJ_2000]

Plenty of clinches in the penultimate week of the season (yep only 2 weeks left for the regular season ).

Stakes are really high for the top 10 contenders. Loses now are pretty much curtains for any team other than Georgia.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I find the playoff mildly intriguing tbh.
I dont believe Cincinnati should be anywhere near the playoff due to unconvincing wins against s**t competition (1 I can excuse, but not to the extent we're seeing from them) but they might be forced to put them in due to over-rating them early in rankings.

TECHNICALLY 4, but I know what you mean

week 12, week 13, CCG weekend, Army-Navy game.

shame, I've been getting very heavily into it this past month as someone else has found some Boise State streams for me.

The BCS is high on ND and Oklahoma... (Like the CFP committee).

when was the last time Wake Forrest was ranked that high?

 

[Dirty Bird]

when was the last time Wake Forrest was ranked that high?

There was a season in the mid 2000s where they made the ACC Championship game. I'd guess that year

 

[AJ_2000]

They'd have been higher if they hadn't lost to NC 2 weeks ago.

 

[Dirty Bird]

when was the last time Wake Forrest was ranked that high?

Actually, the year I was thinking (2006) they didn't quite get to 13 (peaked at 14 when they were 9-1)

 

[gaskin]

Charleston Southern this week. Hopefully this is a game for JT Daniels to start and get some reps in.


Peyton Manning asked Kirby to recruit his 10 year old son. Even he knows Tennessee suck.

a long time ago…half way thru 1947!

[aussiedude]

looks like the 4AM game has moved to Ohio St/Michigan St and Wisconsin/Nebraska at 7:30. so they have just moved from the ESPN to the ABC games

 

[aussiedude]

Virginia Tech joins the coaching carousel with LSU, USC, Washington, Washington State, TCU. there will be quite a fight for a few coaches.

Computers really not a Pac-12 fan. not shocking given how the conference is beating up on itself and other than Oregon/Utah no good teams.
The ND win must be huge for Cinci.

 

[aussiedude]

wind played havoc in the NIU/Buffalo game. its been a fun game heading into OT

 

[aussiedude]

crazy ending in OT. Buffalo fumble the snap in shotgun 3rd and goal from the 2. NIU recover and run it in on the first play.

NIU had been running all over them late in the game

Was a bit surprised it was the big noon kickoff.

 

[aussiedude]

Technically not "Big Noon" thats just a Fox PR name. but some schools like noon kickoffs because they do things for the team later that night. But also some games are always Noon games. its generally easier to get viewers because CBS have the 3:30 game. and the night can be a hard fight between all the games. That helps with recruiting.

I believe 1pm was the traditional timeslot for teams before mass tv coverage became a thing. Many fans prefer the earlier kickoff due to tailgating tradition and believe night games make the day too damn long. I'm not sure the modern day college student sees it that way.
