    Ole Miss @ Florida

    I got pretty down early in the year, but it turns out Lagway probably is the real deal, Billy has coached much less stupid as the year has gone on, and the players stayed bought-in.

    Win at least one of these last two, preferably both LOL, and we’re on track to meet pre-season “best realistic case scenario.”

      Well. Jackson Jaxson Dart must have money on the Gators. What a terrible decision.

      Florida: In victory formation for a major SEC win.

      ESPN: Screw that, let’s zoom in and show Dart crying instead!

      What a dick move!

      Go Gators. I wonders what Ole Miss’s run D numbers look like without all those sack yards? They’ve seemed good but not particularly special against the run today.

      I feel like announcers, always lean on aged conventional wisdom for things like, “Is it time to start milking clock?”

      If there’s a pretty good chance that you, with a one score lead, are not going to make it a two score lead, there’s no particular reason to worry about the clock with five or six minutes left. You may very well need to have a possession after the other team gets one.

    7 Indiana @ 2 an Ohio State University

    I’m setting the o/u on Gus Johnson saying “World Famous Ohio State Buckeyes” at 15. He’s already got one in and the game hasn’t even kicked off yet…

    I want maximum chaos. All underdogs or worse-ranked teams must win today.

    To be clear, I went to a D3 school with no football team, and I don’t have any money on the games, so I don’t have a personal interest in any of the games. I just support #TeamChaos.

      other than the UTEP - UT game I support this.

      If IU doesn’t beat anOSU they’d better drop out of the top 15, Penn State didn’t for some reason…

      Glad we weren’t looking ahead to a&m, but not thrilled Ewers got a little banged up. I hope he can get back to 100% next week because we need everything we got

    13 Army vs 4 Notre Dame

    Really hope this one lives up to the hype of being a thriller for longer than what happened in Columbus earlier today

      Okay, so it’s gonna be just like the ND-Navy game. I’mma head out of this one - hopefully one of the other prime time games keeps things interesting

    Arizona @ TCU

    Dropping in on this utterly classic conference rivalry after my other reptiles win.

      Game going about how the Frogs’ entire season has. They look solid and intermittently exciting but just missing a certain something.

      Nice to see them taking care of business against an undermanned Zona squad though.

    I really hope Army can keep their undefeated streak alive. It’s been a real pleasure to see a service school do so well in an age of NIL Deals.

      In a weird way the transfer portal and NIL probably help the service academies. Teamwork is still a huge part of the game and the constant transfers hurt that. The lesser teams also lose their better players after a season or two to the bigger programs, which makes up the majority of Army’s schedule.

    16 Aggy @ Auburn

    This is becoming a bloodbath. I’m torn: on one hand a&m losing is always fun but on the other we really need them to be perceived as a strong opponent for our resume

    Wisconsin @ NU. Meltdown in the final quarter by the team in red and white.

    Without looking, which team do you think is drawing penalties left and right?

      I haven’t been able to catch any of this because every time I try to tune in it’s in an ad break (because ou probably just scored again, somehow). I feel similarly about this as with the aggy game – I don’t want the land thieves to pick up a signature win but on the other hand it helps our SOS…
