Didn't see one yet so got it started, there are some interesting matchups today.
Looking forward to UK/Florida and Tenn/Pitt.
Texas is gonna get run by Bama, but the head referee looks like he could make a tackle or ten.

Ewers looks like he is out for Texas. Last time they played Alabama their starter got knocked out in the Championship game in 2010.
Still tied at 10 a piece for now.
LATE rough hit too by the Bama guy
What? That was barely a late hit, it was right after the throw. It's a terrible outcome that he had just turned himself sideways with the throw but there was no way to avoid that contact for the rusher.
That's tough because he was throwing some absolute dimes. Really hope it's just a dislocation or something and not a broken collarbone.
Ewers looked really good when he was in. 'Bama DB's are not really inconsistent.
Interesting to see what happens to Alabama when they play a true big non-con road game. Noise is giving them problems
Do conference road games not have noise?
They certainly do, but I think conference road games also come with some measure of familiarity and your own fans having a presence there.
What was there last true big nonconference road game? Penn St in 2011? Something is bothering them, maybe the earlier than normal start (for them), because Texas looks like they are outplaying them right now
That was their last actual nonconference road game, regardless of magnitude.
The only crowd noise I heard at Kyle Field today was App State fans
I don't think we'll beat Duke anymore. They look way better than expected
Duke looks way ahead of schedule and extremely well coached. Definitely look like more of a threat. Elko is a heck of a coach.
Yeah he was one I would have been happy with if we'd hired ... not to say I'm not happy with Pry.
P.S. I liked Freeman a lot too, but less now that's he's HC at ND.
Miami is bak haha
That might be the worst Roughing the Passer call I've ever seen. Young wasn't even down yet.
Bama gets bailed out. Just atrocious officiating.
Edit: They correctly picked up the flag but how was that not then grounding?
Came here to say this might be the most ridiculous adventure in terrible refereeing I've ever seen
Wake Forest is looking extremely competent against Vanderbilt late in the 3rd. Just ran a middle TE screen for a 20 yard TD to go up 35-10 to capitalize on a fumble recovery in Vandy territory.
The ACC is really mediocre again isn't it?
Again? Always has been 🌎👨🚀 🔫 👨🚀
Duke and Wake look good. Problem is an ACC with schools like those and Pitt doing well isn't going to move the needle and attract a ton of eyeballs. ACC needs Clemson, FSU, Miami, and VT all good.
Duke is letting NW just dominate the 2nd half.
Bama pulling a VT and going for more all the penalty yards
Therefor VT = Bama
What would Mack have had in NC the last 5 years without amazing QB play?
Huge missed face mask call there against Bama.
And...
Alabama in the lead, in spite of themselves.
not ideal for texas
I'm impressed with Texas' athleticism on defense.
I think Bama is pulling this out, but that unit acquitted itself nicely.
Texas playing like absolute pussies for not going for it even once when inside the ten and playing for fgs. You have a gimp backup qb that ain't gonna keep getting opportunities all game and isn't gonna drive the field. Defense playing lights out. Why not go for it on the last attempt already up 3!? 3 more points does nothing when the headman winner drives the field on you which you knew was inevitable
Say what you will, but regardless of outcome, Alabama-Texas is a real football game.
3:37 left, and it's anybody's ball game.
Are we going to get more COLLEGE KICKER memes coming up?
edit: What a beaut
Will Texas's's's defense hold?
Even if they win, Bama will never play a non conference game on the road again.
They assimilated Texas into the SEC so that they don't have to.
Bryce Young, wow.
Perfect 2 minute drill.
He's absolutely phenomenal.
#6 can't miss that tackle...
Can't trade fgs with Bama 👏🏼
Looks like Alabama is going to escape this one, after all.
I wanna know why Texas's returner took the ball out of the end zone on the kickoff. They could have run 2 plays instead of 1 with that last possession. Not smart football there.
Yeah that was a weird choice when they saved a timeout for just that reason.
I think we found where Fuente ended up.
Nah...that kind of decision is usually on a player who thinks they can be the superhero savior of the game and break off a 100+ yard TD run as the clock expires.
I considered that, but then I remembered a blocked FG returned for a TD that was negated by an untimely timeout, and I recalled the depths of special teams ineptitude that's out there...
So... do we cheer for Pitt cuz #goacc even though that makes me vomit 🤮
Or Tennessee cuz that's our Hooker they have?
I'm rooting for Hooker. Pitt already had their OOC win. Plus fuck pat narduzzi.
Sorry, can't root for Tennessee. Just can't do it.
I hate to do it, but I hate Pitt more I think...
Notre Dames quarterback can not throw the ball very well.
Marshall has way less talent, but this could be an interesting 2nd half
Fuck Pitt is still pretty good so far....
Hate to say it but Pitt looks pretty damn good. Slovis playing very well. If VT can't pull off a couple wins in Sept, October is looking brutal.
Suck it duzzi (re: confirmed td on the force out of bounds)
Duzzi being Duzzi.
I'm happy for Hendon man, kid is balling...
Go App St!
Laborn with over 150 against Notre Dame, glad to see that kid have a good game after a somewhat bizarre career to date
With NIL, maybe he can afford that Lamborghini now?
Damn, will Marshall hold off ND??
Signs point to "yes".
Those sun belt teams will get after ya
App state has a shot too and should have gotten UNC last week.
Steven Gilmore had the pick 6 .... um wasn't he a CB for the game Cocks like 15 years ago? the covid elligiblity are so odd for these players ...
Lmao Marshall gonna upset ND
...and ND will be ranked higher tomorrow.
ND paid Marshall 1.25 mil for the game
Marshall played well, but I don't think ND is any good
These can both be true.
So you're saying that there's a chance ODU is amazing and VT is just slightly less amazing?
With Texas A&M about to lose to App State, the Notre Dame loss to Marshall, and our loss last week, it's becoming very clear that the Sun Belt is clearly just the best conference in all of college football.
JMU bout to be talking that shit
FUN BELT FUN BELT FUN BELT FUN BELT
Iowa's offense is terrible. Just awful to watch
Texas a and m about to lose to app state....seems like SEC also can't win against sunbelt. So UNC > TAMU?
You could hear a "block that kick" chant at Kyle Field
Wow two top 10 teams about to go down to G5 teams...almost doesn't make me feel as bad about last week
Lmao A&M
Looks like the fun belt is a power conference this year.
Would have been better if Bama lost so Texas would be back until Iowa St and Kansas beast them
LOLUVA getting curb stomped by Illinois.
I just tuned in. What the hell is Armstrong doing? That last pass looked horrible.
App state over A & M. It just means more. Loved seeing the sec commercial come on after the game.
Maybe the narrative that Jimbo is some kind football genius will finally die. He's a good coach that had two really good seasons a decade ago and hasn't done anything big since then.
Also...has anyone noticed UVA is getting smoked by Illinois?!
Edit: Drink for me
Iowa St/Iowa was an UGLY football game. Go Cyclones, Iowa has been a fraud for awhile now
Hooker's gonna cover....
Lmao eat shit Pitt
Of course, my personal favorite is Iowa State over Iowa. Man Iowa's offense is really, really bad.
Relying on your defense scoring safeties isn't a viable strategy?
I seem to remember Beamer using it for a while.
Remember 1 VT fan saying he was starting to wish for us to punt on first down so that maybe our defense could score some points. Ah the glory of Bryan Stinespring's offensive offensives.
There was more than 1 fan
It is 2007 again. Chaooooos
Wow, just saw the UVA-Illinois box score. No sign of an offensive juggernaut there today.
I guess this kills UVA's national championship hopes!
Their 3 fans are inconsolable
Oooof, passer rating of 8.3. That decimal is in the correct position.
Connor Blumrick sighting!
This offense is making me think of Loeffler a bit too much. Too many formations and personnel packages, but what is our identity??
This defense is nasty. I mean total 180 from the last few years.
The big 10 isn't looking so hot, the SEC took some heat today too
Kansas is up 35-28 on the Cuzins right now, fyi
Came back to literally say: Kansas?
Also now that I jinxed it and it's tied, how is Kansas2-0 and wvu 0-2 in week 2? (Rhetorical)
How do you win by double digits in OT?! That's how you do it.
Lol ND...0 and 2....but mark my words....those assholes will still be top 25 next week.
18 at the worst.
I totally agree.
Ok...I stand corrected......ND is deservedly out of the top 25. I'm truly shocked that they are cause of the historical pollster bias, but Fuck 'em. Hope they lose again next week just for kicks.
They were sacrificed for the greater good.
The G5 has had one of their historically best runs vs P5 to open the season... And not a single true G5 team is ranked.
Praise Portal.
I mean you got to love Utah ranked below UF. On one hand that's kind of messed up, on the other its Florida so who cares
Kentucky playing a hell of a game in the Swamp right now. Up 23-16 and looking pretty decent
Barring a miracle- FLORIDA IS GOING DOWN MFers. It's so beautiful for those of us who have to deal with those fans😂😂😂
The worst is when they talk about how great the conference is when they don't do well ... I'm glad your happy tha UGA won a title, I would fucking hate it if UVA won a football title.
Will Frost have a job in the morning?
If he does, I'll be shocked. But who do they turn to next???
I know a guy named Fustin Juente ...
Is his buddy Crad Bornelson?
Is he a quarterback whisperer? Because They need a high flying offense that's hard to prepare for...
Frosts buy out drops in October so he will probably be around a few more weeks.
I saw that too, but losing to Ga. Southern is not forgivable for that fan base. I'm honestly surprised they put up with it this long...
Hokies win and WVU loses. Good little Saturday.
Um Hokies win, Pitt, WVU, and UVA lose
Only problem is tennessee won. But you can't have everything
But it's a Hendon Hooker led Vols squad, which I personally will allow.
Fuck QBeXtreme
To beat Pitt, so better than the alternative as well.
This has been a chaos weekend. Only a few constants, like Alabama winning, Nebraska losing, etc.
College Game Day is heading to App State next week instead of Kyle Field. Pretty awesome for them!
And jmu might upset them lol
They've got Troy State next week.
Oh, good catch. I missed it by a week
So Sun Belt > SEC > Everyone else, right?
Right now Sun Belt > Big12> SEC
