Navy +7 against Temple....that surprises me some. Maybe I havent paid close enough attention, but I had assumed that Navy was a better team. I didnt figure them for world beaters, but I would assumed better than Temple.

Navy is very down IMO..
And Temple is better than their record indicates. Two bad losses to start the season, but they've gotten better.

absolutely a terrible weekend slate of football BUT it's still college football.....

 

[IrishLion]

2:30 ND/Pitt
3:30 UGA/LSU
7:30 Wiscy/scUM
10:30 USC/Colorado

Not a great weekend of football in terms of needing multiple screens for each time slot, but that 2:30pm-1:30am run of headline games is pretty good in terms of single-screen leisure viewing (minus needing two screens for the ND/UGA overlap).

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Heading to Green Bay this weekend for MNF against the 49ers, will be there Saturday morning. My ass will not leave a barstool all day Saturday, plenty of good football to watch

My buddy who's coming with is a huge Skunkbear fan, so I'll be entertained watching the night game in a bar witnessing him get "Badgered" all night. See what I did there?

i like that i can watch the ND game and then head to the bar later with my wife for a night out, but so wish the georgia vs lsu game was the 8pm game of the week....big 10 football is boring as hell to watch unless it is osu vs psu/mich/msu/wisc.....

very solid 10+ hours.
i'd bet that FL/Vandy (early) and WV/ISU might surprise....
OR and WA is interesting to me as well.

TCU7
TTU3
near end of half

I know TCU has a top 20 D, but TTU has the #1 team in yards per game. Thought there would be more scoring. yawn

 

[Irish YJ]

College football Week 7 game picks

surprised Oregon is getting all the love.

a tad bit surprised Wisconsin got zero love.

LSU getting very little respect. Cheering hard for Ed O

Very surprised by this...

 

[Irish YJ]

Very surprised by this...

Wisconsin's D took a step back, and they did shit the bed vs BYU.... but....
Michigan hasn't really played anyone at all. And they almost dropped one to NW.
I could see this going either way, but would bet it's going to be low scoring and close.

Yeah, I won't really be surprised either way really, but not a single 'expert' taking a flier on Wisky?? that is interesting.

At least one or two took a flier on ISU....
I do think that could be trouble for WV. ISU always rises once or twice per year.

Instantly thinks of 2012:

you lost me with that one

Instantly thinks of 2012:

The problem with ‘12 was Baylor upsetting KSU.

Had KSU won that game, it would’ve been Manti Teo vs Collin Klein for the natty... ND would’ve smoked KSU.

What does that have to do with ISU/WVU though. I'm so confused.

I’m thinking Acamp thought ISU sprung the upset that allowed Bama back into the championship picture.

Yup, Acamp is probably a little cray cray right now with the traitorous actions of his wife.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Maybe he was thinking of 2011 where ISU beat the Mullet and gave us the first of many all SEC championship games.

Said this before, although it is unpopular:

Bowl prep was so catastrophically bad for the BCSNCG, I doubt we would have beaten KSU, or anybody for that matter.

South Florida trying to drop from the unbeatens....

Down 10-3 vs Tulsa at half.

One of 11 unbeatens left...
3 more could go down tomorrow (WV, UGA, CO)

[Irish YJ]

Now tied 10-10

Blake Barnett struggling (under 50% and an INT)
Conkrite (RB transfer from FL) is doing very well

 

[ACamp1900]

ISU fucked up something.... somewhere... lol

I get where you’re coming from, but I think it would have been “Vanilla and Predictable Offense” vs “Vanilla and Predictable Defense.”

Klein would’ve run powers all night, with the occasional counter or play action pass, and the ND defense would have made enough plays like they did against Oklahoma and Landry Jones/Blake Bell.

It would’ve come down to BK creating a game plan for Golson, and Golson protecting the ball, IMO.

USF@Tulsa has been very entertaining.
Down 14 in the 4th, USF scores, their PAT blocked. Scores again with 2min left, misses the the 2pt conversion. Kicks off, gets a 3 and out... now has 55 secs to drive for a FG...

Barnett hasn't had a good night passing, but has moved the chains with his legs all 4Q. 2 rushing TDs.

Barnett has them down to the four yard line....here come the Kick...it's good!

Barnett, had a great 4Q. Did what he needed to get the win.

Glad USF is still undefeated. I want either Cinci or USF to be undefeated when they play an undefeated top 10 UCF at the end of the season. Houston could very well be ranked when they (UCF) plays them in the CC.

Toddler soccer practice cancelled and it's too rainy to do yard work. Today is a good day.
