Indiana got a sweet schedule

With Texas losing that means Wisconsin likely will play the #2 team in the country next week and if Oregon stays undefeated they'll take on #1 a few weeks after that

Hilarious that Nebraska got a vote in the AP poll after losing by 49.

Mccord, who has actually been good this year outside tO$U ecosystem threw 5 picks and 3 of them went for TDs :lol:

That is a wild statline. Was he drunk?

I wish there was a college Red Zone channel. Other than Badgers or top 10 matchups I don't sit down and watch any other games. I will follow scores though and tune in to close games that are in the last quarter. RZ wouldn't work with so many games though.

This weekend I'll for sure tune in to see Boise State and Jeanty vs UNLV. That it's coming right after the Bucks game is nice.

I haven't actually watched any Navy this year yet so gonna watch them vs Notre Dame when I'm not checking out what Indiana is doing to Washington.

Gotta watch Oregon and hope they stay undefeated. Keeping an eye on Mizzu/Bama to see if Bama gets a third loss and a trip out of the playoffs.

Texas vs Vanderbilt shouldn't be close, but it's in Nashville so who knows?

Obviously Wisconsin gets the big screen at night and I doubt I even relegate anything else to the 2nd or 3rd screen.

Game has been one of the best of the season. I feel bad for Jeanty, he's getting beat up.

90% of college football is trash. Battle of ranked opponents Bama/Mizzou, Oregon/Illini, ND/Navy, all unwatchable garbage.

Today was definitely terrible.

The games all went as they should've. Human rankings are dumb. Look at the spreads.

There are definitely a lot of fun college games in this new era. Illinois always was mediocre, Mizzou is meh and was missing their QB, Navy is fun but still can't hang with a team like ND.

I'm old enough to remember that one week, long long ago, when we got Vanderbilt over Alabama, Arkansas over Tennessee, A&M over Mizzu, Washington over Michigan, Minnesota over USC, Cuse over UNLV, and SMU over Louisville.

Yeah, tons of fun stuff so far.

Just saying these games were absolute mismatches because Oregon is one of the untouchable 3 or 4 teams and Illinois is probably quite a bit worse than Wisconsin but has played an easy schedule/got lucky, therefore ranked. Spread was 22. Missouri had Drew Pyne starting on the road. Navy could've made it kinda fun but fumbled 100 times and obviously is just overmatched.

Missouri is fine if Cook is playing but otherwise Illinois is currently the #49 team in Sagarin and Navy is #69 (nice). A bit of a drop from getting boat raced, but those teams aren't actually that good.

This argument makes my point for me. If consensus Top 25 teams are that far apart statistically, that shows how bad the product is. And it will only get worse with NIL. It will reach MLB pre-salary cap levels of bad unless it is fixed.
