Didn't actually see any of the Thursday games.
Oh, how far Boise has fallen. Also, if only BYU had beaten LOLUVA and Utah...
We've had two straight weeks of big-time upsets. Wonder who's gonna take the tumble today...
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.... go!

Guess BYU was UVA's inexplicable win of 2013. Of course, they haven't played Miami yet...
#goacc
So I take it last year's inexplicable win (besides Miami) was Penn State?
attributed to Penn State not having an accurate kicker.
Enter Jerry Sandusky joke here
Peterson to USC after the season, I'm calling it.
He'll just have to get reacquainted with the high school pipelines that helped him win at noise state.
Agreed. I think Peterson should recognize at this point that Boise has topped out. If he gets an offer from USCw, he should go.
USCw has another candidate though, in Kevin Sumlin. He should stay at ATM one more year, given that Mike Evans and Manziel are both sophomores, they should stay one more year. As long as he has them both, their offense will be great. Once Manziel looses Evans, his safety valve will be gone, and he should go pro. Once they're both gone, Sumlin will have a bare cupboard and should bail before he gets found out as a coach who gets bailed out by playmakers. If USCw went this route, they'd need to hold onto Orgeron for one more year to get Sumlin. It would be a very USCw move to give him a one year deal.
Like Urban Meyer?
Manziel and evans are both redshirt sophmores. They will both most likely declare for the draft after this season. It would be in sumlin's best interest to bolt as well.
Will FSU Go down to the Pack again? Probably not but Oregon is playing UCLA..they can score with Oregon. How many points will Baylor score today? Georgia Tech should hang 40 on our friends from LOLUVA..
I think that UCLA-Oregon will be a close game.
Yeah, I think it will be close till the 3rd quarter myself.
Who is everyone picking to be upset today? Personally I think the last two weeks of upsets won't be repeated today.
If I have to pick anyone, it would be Ohio State. Penn State has been sneaky like that.
How many times does Miami turn the ball over today? I'm guessing 3.
Lol 12 turnovers the last three games for Miami..at least two INTs if they let Morris throw it all over the field.
BYU was aided by Boise's self inflicted mistakes, especially in the second half. Unfortunate turnovers cost them after long drives. Also, Boise couldn't play a lick of defense.
My upset is Texas over TCU.
I'll take South Carolina to take out unbeaten Missouri in a mild upset.
Yeah. I'm surprised at the line only being 3 points. Someone must know something.
Wouldn't be a huge upset, but I'm thinking OU beats Texas Tech.
I think the UCLA-Oregon game will be over by halftime. At least a 15-point game by then. That's my kind-of bold prediction.
I'm going to watch Wake Forest and Miami at 12 but I swear to goodness if that game goes over 3:30...
I've already got them going on Facebook this morning though.
so does GT keep rolling over LOLuva, or do they actually pump the brakes 4th Quarter?
Anyone else see the Virginia tech sign on college gameday IN Oregon???
I love it!!!!
Missed it. Screen capture anyone?
A couple of predictions, just for fun:
1. OU upsets TTU
2. USCe upsets Mizzou
3. Stephen Morris throws 2 picks, Miami has one fumble for 3 total TOs lost
4. GT 35, UVa 13
1) Not an upset, no matter what the records or rankings say
2) Definitely an upset, but I think Mizzou wins.
3) #allTheTurnovers is a good call, but I don't think Wake has the pass rush to force this many. I go one turnover.
4) GT will take out another week of frustration on UVA and win by at least 7 TD. 56-13
Agree on #1 for sure. OU is better than TTU, who I think is overrated simply by default thanks to all the chaos.
Wake came to play!
Miami's 3rd down defense is shaky at the moment. They're also showing a weakness for screens. Wake moving the ball really well on the first drive; let's see if that holds up over the course of the game.
Update: Wake scores a TD on their first drive, eating up 8:30 of clock time. Wow.
Miami is no UVA on third down.
WAKE BEGAN WITH 80-yd, 8:34 Touchdown drive! Miami is looking ahead to FSU.
Touchdown Wake! I know it is REALLY early in this game, but Miami still looks so over-rated to me.
Although, I want Miami to win this game. I wanted UNC to win against them because it would've helped our division race, but I have no reason to pull for Wake Forest here.
A Wake win still helps us, assuming a Miami loss to FSU next week.
If Miami had two ACC losses an we had one, we would be the division champs
True, but I want to Miami to ranked as high as possible when we play them. I know ranking aren't everything, but I can't help it here.
I gotcha. I think we will have Miami either way, but wouldn't mind for the road to Charlotte to be as easy as possible.
Definitely agree with you there :)
Lets keep that up all day Wake!
Miami is so overrated it's ridiculous.
Oh yeah, Miami is back!
Dat swag!
Wake forces a 3-and-out on Miami's first possession. Keep it up, Deacs!
Is Josh Harris a doctor yet? I feel like he has been at Wake since 2004.
Tanner Price too, for that matter.
Wake in Miami territory
Miami was 3 plays for 8 yards in the entire 1st quarter....
I have never seen Tanner Price throw deep. Can he?
1st real break for da U today
Why is Miami not sending any blitz up those gaps?
I was thinking the same thing. WFU has some wide splits.
GT already scored, 65s into the game
uva almost lost the ball
Missed the kick, too.
uva misses FG wide right
Thug U FG good
GT fumbles, uva recovers
uva overthrows in the RZ
uva goes for it on 4th, and no good
sloppy game. 7-0 GT
Announcer "What a great job by Virginia to stop the first half of this play..."
The play was a 20 something yard completion on 3rd and 6 where the receiver was wide open. Uva football everybody, stopping half a play at a time.
GT & WAKE JUST HAD HUGE 1ST DOWNS!
cavs recover another fumble
another cav 3-and-out
Go Deacs!
TD WAKE!!! PLAY-ACTION ON 4TH DOWN!
That Jacket offense really is hit-or-miss.
Great GT punt
Miami finally gets a TD 14-10 Wake
cav FG good
I just turned to the GA Tech and UVA game. I got more of a history lesson on Thomas Jefferson than I did watching a football game
*flips back to Miami*
Did you say Thomas Jefferson?
Hey did you know that Thomas Jefferson founded UVA? Did you also know that Mike London used to be a cop?
Big GT kick return. 59yds
The announcers said uva is playing much better on defense this year...
TD Jackets!!!
I seriously want to see uva's 4th down statistics under Mike London...
on defense, offense, or both ;)
Haha, I was talking offense... but I'm sure the defensive results would be just as entertaining.
I feel like whenever time cop is in the red and it's 4th he ALWAYS goes for it as opposed to taking three.
Gotta wonder if he's stubborn or has zero faith in his fg kicker
The canes offense hasn't done much..must be the cold air, right?
It looks like there are more cars than people in those aerial shots of SunLife
I believe it..when will Da Fans be back? Lol
LOLUVA WR was wide open in the end zone for the dropped TD.
Like Kevin Everett in '03?
Not that wide open lol
TD hoos
LOLUVA scored a td? That just ruined my day...
That's the best team in the county right thur.
I think there were more ppl at the LOLUVA spring game than there are at the Miami game today. 5k is probably a generous guess.
Duke Johnson just gave the mother of all stiff arms
Yeah, that was embarrassing. Pick yourself up son.
Laces out Marino!
Miami misses FG to the left
GT fumbles AGAIN
Followed by LOLUVA..to bad they got it back.
lose possession of the football? you're at GT, you CAN DO THAT! YOU ARE DOING THAT!!!
Well played sir
Indeed....
another GT turnover!
Wow, GT has a major turnover problem today.
Huge 4th down stop by Wake
Mike London is text book with time management...
TimeCop! I kinda feel bad offending JCVD like that.
STUFFED! GT HOLDS!
OMG LOLUVA
LOLUVALOL
LOLUVA, how do you not throw the football, not call timeout right away, or just kick the FG there...
Timecop strikes again!
I almost feel bad for whaoo fans, the coaching staff is totally inept in game management situations
I love how london looked up at the clock after that play, saw it said 0:00, and started to run off the field. The runner hit the ground with 3 second left and once again no one made an attempt to call a timeout. Love it.
they were out of TOs
my bad. thought the tv showed one. oh well . . . still classic.
I don't think I've ever seen splits like what WF is lining up in today. The RG/RT tackle gap has to be 4 yards.
It is interesting, but it seems that it's forcing Miami to spread out to cover the field. Wake is having some success with screens and slants, so I'm wondering if the wide setup on the line is the basis for that.
Oh yeah, it definitely is to spread out the Miami D and force them to play in space.
Wake is driving again.
Yup, that def is spread wide
The boo-birds are coming out in Miami :)
Miami narrowly escapes a sack on that
Wake driving again. Go Deacs!
Every time someone says that Wake is driving, they get stuffed or sacked...
Well then we should stop
UVA needs more RB screens
#ALLTHERBSCREENS
Miami can't capitalize on a great catch
That Miami catch was something else.
What was that?
LOL miami, now they blow whistles from the stands.
That's something way out of the ordinary.
A fan blowing a whistle from the stands is the most Miami thing ever.
That was wild. I definitely heard the whistle and the announcers didn't understand at first. I can't believe that a fan did that.
Wasn't there a game in the past where a fan threw a flag on the field?
Yeah, I clearly heard it during the play as well. I'm glad the officials got it right, that'd suck if it actually worked.
I've seen it all now..Miami is cheating, better call the NCAA
Miami takes the lead
This catch was absurd.
via http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/10/26/5031862/stacy-coley-...
I saw that. That was awesome.
GT is winning 21-10, after turning the ball over five times. That's on the Wahoo coaches.
They are still up 11..only LOLUVA could be down after forcing 5 turnovers.
This game has 28 more minutes until it better be over. I don't want to see an overtime with Tech coming on.
WF is driving..they might put it on espn news
Yea, it'll start on ESPNews if nothing else. Just SportsCenter on over there.
Shhh. You're not supposed to do that!
Wake not throwing in the towel yet
Touchdown Wake!
TOUCHDOWN, WF!!!
Yes! TD Wake!
Go Wake!
Wake > Miami all day today.
Sweet! Go Deacs!
Waiting for announcers to say 'did they score too fast there?'
WF AHHHHHHHH
Wow, the wheel route for 6! Demon Deacons!
Wake back up. Unreal game
Da U is back! Wait...what?
Tanner Price & his receivers stay composed. Real impressed with the Deacs
That was a pretty touchdown
And here's the quote of the day: "The Price has been right for Wake all day"
Hoos score a TD.
Booooooo
Miami is driving now.
They're just going to run it down Wake's throats. They have no answer for Johnson at this point.
Wish we could do that.
wake is done
Miami will win this game just like last week. Very overrated team
Definitely not worthy of #7 if it takes them last-second TDs to beat UNC and Wake in consecutive weeks. A lot like Michigan.
TD canes..
Getting by the skin of their teeth.
Yup, still winning though..golden must be a real coach.
28-17 GT
At this point it's better for them to rule it a TD. Saves a little time and the timeouts for wake.
If this get ruled a touchdown (as it should, being fair) Miami will escape again. But hey, just keep letting them win ugly and overrated... If they play like this against us with a #6 or #7 ranking and we annihilate them?
Teehee.
FSU will destroy them the week before so they won't be top 10
True, wasn't thinking that far ahead... But I still don't think they'd fall that hard losing to FSU. Perhaps 10 or 11...
They will fall more than that cause if they play like they have the last few weeks FSU will murder them
Wow, Duke had the ball across..
That was definitely a bad call.
Lets see if they can overcome that horrible call
Even I, in all my Cane-hating glory, thought that was a TD.
#goacc officiating.
53s for Wake to score.
Miami is impressively able to barely scrap by. Let's see if they hold or blow it
Still plenty of time for WF to get in FG range.
Dammit, Muck Fiami!
I'm calling overtime.
Anyone else wondering why the announcers of the Miami game were talking about johnsons knee being out of bounds? His foot was dragging out the whole time. Its like they only thought he was out of bounds if his knee was out.
No OT
No OT
No OT
Wake, you are allowed a TD or nothing.
Game
and there is the escape .... The U stays undefeated
Well at least our game will be on time.
Welp, it's over. Looks like we'll be seeing VT on time on ESPNU after all.
Good lawd Miami is overrated.
I love the standard excuse for every top-10 team escaping games against bad teams, "Well, they knew that everyone they played would be giving them their best shot..."
As if every time a top-10 team plays, their opponent suddenly becomes a top-10 team as well.
Well... according to espn...
If a bottom feeder $EC team beats one kid their precious top tier teams...
I also love how the NCAA ineptitude is described as a Miami "win".
Sometimes, to win, all that has to happen is your opponent sucks worse.
Looking for dook to suck today
Here we go..LETS GO HOKIES!
FSU is scoring a TD every two minutes against NC State. Yikes.
35-25 GT. 7-3 UMD
LOLUVA!!!! Nice win by the wreck b/c we can do that!
Do you want to turn the ball over 5 times but still win? You're in Charlottesville, YOU CAN DO THAT.
Yeah, I always hate seeing us wear orange.
NO!!!!
Settle down, Logan.
FSU is gonna pull the starters in the 2nd qtr
Poor NC State.
Don't want to get accused of bullying...
FSU might be pretty good this year..
UMD throws an int in the endzone...
FSU has hung 35 on NC state in the first quarter
Navy beats Pitt. 35-0 FSU at the end of the 1st quarter
Isn't that the same navy team duke hammered?
FML
UNC 20-7 at the half. FSU is... being FSU. They're playing great football.
FSU fakes a punt up 35..bullying lol
Bama is also winning 35-0.
In other news, Mizzou is punching USCe in the throat and making them pay with turnovers and explosive plays. UCLA and Oregon are currently tied at 14 just before the half.
Hey guys, mizzou just lost to USCe in double OT on a missed FG.
talk about heart breaking... for them.
The hate is flowing through me, I was elated to see their misery.
Woah, this thread died...
At least Tennessee lost.
