Thursday, November 9, 2023

Virginia	@ 13Louisville	6:30 PM		Cardinal Stadium, Louisville, KY
Southern Miss	@ Louisiana	6:30 PM		Cajun Field, Lafayette, LA

Friday, November 10, 2023

North Texas	@ SMU	8:00 PM		Gerald J. Ford Stadium, Dallas, TX
Wyoming	@ UNLV	9:45 PM	FS1	Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, NV

Laying down some infrastructure here, not trying to step on any toes.

You can find your MACtion in the MACtion thread.

Thursday:
- Louisville hosts UVA and then goes to Miami before closing at home with Kentucky. Thursday night against an opponent they should beat before two big ones. Don't look past it.
- Louisiana needs a win to be bowl eligible. Southern Miss just snapped a 7 game losing streak.

Friday:
- Mean Green are 3-6 so they need to win out to be bowl eligible. SMU is unbeaten in the league and need to keep pace with Tulane and UTSA, neither of whom they play.
-UNLV has one conference loss and doesn't want to look past Wyoming before Air Force.

Indiana	@ Illinois	11:00 AM	BTN	Memorial Stadium (Champaign, IL), Champaign, IL
Georgia Tech	@ Clemson	11:00 AM		Memorial Stadium (Clemson, SC), Clemson, SC

- I suppose James Franklin is going to make me have to change the channel. Best bet would be Bama at UK. Rees vs Liam Coen.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

UConn	@ James Madison	1:00 PM		Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field, Harrisonburg, VA
Arizona	@ Colorado	1:00 PM	PAC12	Folsom Field, Boulder, CO

Memphis	@ Charlotte	1:00 PM		Jerry Richardson Stadium, Charlotte, NC
Appalachian State	@ Georgia State	1:00 PM		Center Parc Stadium, Atlanta, GA
Troy	@ UL Monroe	1:00 PM		Malone Stadium, Monroe, LA

- James Madison is still unbeaten.
- Quite possibly Prime's last chance at a win this season.
- ND's next opponent hosts NC State needing to win to get closer to bowl eligibility.
- G5 stuff galore.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Miami	@ 4Florida State	2:30 PM		Doak Campbell Stadium, Tallahassee, FL
18Utah	@ 5Washington	2:30 PM	FOX	Husky Stadium, Seattle, WA
17Tennessee	@ 12Missouri	2:30 PM		Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field, Columbia, MO
22Oklahoma State	@ UCF	2:30 PM		FBC Mortgage Stadium, Orlando, FL
Minnesota	@ Purdue	2:30 PM	NBC	Ross-Ade Stadium, West Lafayette, IN
Northwestern	@ Wisconsin	2:30 PM	FS1	Camp Randall Stadium, Madison, WI

- Miami beating FSU could cause some minor chaos in the big picture.
- UW offense vs Utah defense should be something
- Mizzou coming off of the disappointing hard fought loss at UGA. Tennessee had a tuneup with UConn
- After a big Bedlam win, OkSt goes to UCF. Letdown game?

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Stanford	@ 16Oregon State	4:30 PM	PAC12	Reser Stadium, Corvallis, OR
10Ole Miss	@ 2Georgia	6:00 PM		Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA
West Virginia	@ 9Oklahoma	6:00 PM	FOX	Memorial Stadium (Norman, OK), Norman, OK
Cincinnati	@ Houston	6:00 PM	FS1	TDECU Stadium, Houston, TX
Georgia Southern	@ Marshall	6:00 PM	NFL NET	Joan C. Edwards Stadium, Huntington, WV
San Diego State	@ Colorado State	6:00 PM	CBSSN

- Obviously, let's keep an eye on Stanford. Shouldn't be much to see there though as Oregon State should take care of business at home.
- UGA hosts Mizzou, comes right back and has to host Ole Miss. UGA and FSU both losing at home would be too good to be true for chaotic purposes.
- OU fans not happy with their OC either. WVU has won two in a row, OU has lost two in a row.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Michigan State	@ 1Ohio State	6:30 PM	NBC	Ohio Stadium, Columbus, OH
7Texas	@ TCU	6:30 PM		Amon G. Carter Stadium, Fort Worth, TX

Arizona State	@ 19UCLA	8:00 PM	PAC12	Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA
20USC	@ 6Oregon	9:30 PM	FOX	Autzen Stadium, Eugene, OR

- Texas is 3-7 vs TCU in the last ten meetings. This is TCU's last crack at them.
-Brian Kelly gets back on track, Billy Napier gets closer to a buyout?
- Oregon should get USC out of the Top 25 now.

 

[DillonHall]

I apologize in advance...but you probably should've waited until the updated CFP rankings were released. Really great format though

 

[laughingirish90]

the question for me is can Oregon put up 60 pts against the USC defense because Washington would've been 1 pt away if it hadn't turned the ball near the endzone.

I personally don't give a shit about the rankings, but know others do, so that's a good point.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

UVA led 24-17 in the 4th quarter with about 8 minutes left. Louisville pulled it off 31-24.

Miami up next who is unbeaten at home.

 

[Classic Irish]

Just saw Del Alexander on the sidelines of the Wyoming-UNLV game. He’s the WR coach for the Rebels.

Jealous of the UNLV coaching staff. Coach Odom will be poached this year or next year.

Though he struggled as HC at Missouri.

Miami lost to GT at home with that ugly game ending mistake. I think it was the same weekend that ND lost to OSU.

 

[Bluto]

Georgia Tech’s QB looks terrified out there.

 

[MacIrish75]

That’s an awful penalty by Penn State.

Edit: Lol even the refs are against UM today.

 

[notredomer23]

Gus Johnson is probably the best in the business for big plays but the worst in the business for the filler talk.

Saying JJ McCarthy runs a 4.4 40 is up there with the worst of the filler talk

 

[Bluto]

Lordy. Clemson’s offense is terrible. Nice call Dabo. Haha.

 

[notredomer23]

Refs firmly against UM so far. 1 no call and 1 penalty that were both very questionable in favor of PSU

 

[Giddyup]

Watching Penn State’s and Clemson’s offenses make me think Parker is a genius.

 

[LSWho?]

Gus Johnson is probably the best in the business for big plays but the worst in the business for the filler talk.

Saying JJ McCarthy runs a 4.4 40 is up there with the worst of the filler talk

That's the perfect way of saying it. Gus captures the big moments better than anyone, but he can be extremely grating moment to moment.

 

[Bluto]

Clemson failed fake punt on their own 30 or so leads to Georgia Tech touchdown. If Clemson loses the fire Dabo party train is back on the tracks.

 

[Giddyup]

Gus is kind of annoying

 

[Bluto]

Looks like Bama is Bama again.

 

[MacIrish75]

Cephas has to catch that.

 

[GoldenAura]

The one time I’m gonna root for Allar to ball out. Not sure if he’s gonna be able to pull it off though.

 

[calvegas04]

Looks like Bama is Bama again.

Tommy has them rolling

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Cephas has to catch that.

He’s been a disappointment. I’m starting to come to the conclusion that there’s not going to be many difference making grad transfer WR in the Transfer Portal. I can’t think of one who has been impactful this season. Keon Coleman has been great but keep in mind he’s not a grad-transfer. We got lucky w/ Benny Skow but that seems to be an anomaly. Good WR either declare for the draft or transfer early in their career.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Clemson failed fake punt on their own 30 or so leads to Georgia Tech touchdown. If Clemson loses the fire Dabo party train is back on the tracks.

Not long after ND lost last Saturday, I looked up who Clemson had this week. Saw it was GT who has been feisty this year & immediately expected a Clemson loss. Regardless of the glass house ND fans live in…it’s ok to say that Clemson offense is still trash.

 

[MacIrish75]

Tbh that was a good answer by Michigan. Nice drive.
