    WMU @ 16Michigan

    Halftime: Michigan is, uhhhh, not looking amazing. I have family that went to both schools, so I guess if Western pulls off an upset it’s not the end of the world for me, but it sure would feel weird…

      Tigers getting their asses handed to them, so far. For some reason, I was anticipating a much closer game.

      I feel such strange ways about this game. Normally I would love lsu showing sec dominance. But I hate kiffin and the nonsense he’s been pulling the past few weeks enough to make me change my rooting interests

    Kent State @ SCAR

    So I haven’t been following USC in the off season. What level of blood pressure control medicine do I need to get to survive the season?

    Also GAME!

    Edit: it has been 281 days since the defence allowed a point.

      The Pac 12 team clearly benefitting from home field advantage when a Big 10 team has to play them on the west coast

    FAU @ UF

    Gators looking efficient and competent in the early going. Given that it probably took a non-negligible percentage of the state’s GDP to keep Jadan Baugh, this is a bit of a relief.

      Maybe some questions on defense, but Florida talking care of business.

      Also, before the game is over, I want to point out that with the specific helmet shells that many of the FAU players are wearing, their retro logo looks like it’s even more retro, an old-timey greater Florida where Biloxi and Mobile are part of the Panhandle.

        The drunk moms at my bar were celebrating way too much for going up on FAU as y’all were seperating and I laughed at them

          NGL, it was nice to see the offense doing some things, but relief was my main emotion, as well as curiosity because as I’ve mentioned, I just don’t pay attention to rosters during the offseason anymore. Apparently Georgia Tech is our “pick from the hat” rotating farm club this year. Yes, I know it’s because that’s where the OC came from, but CFB’s vibes are still very weird these days.

          Finally, the fact that we’ve got a normally structured coaching staff is also the sort of thing you couldn’t miss until it was gone.

    Colorado @ GT

    Trying to scout our first couple of opponents, this seems like the only one that would actually be competitve

      I missed this game… but am pretty surprised at the result. How did Little Mendoza + Haynes lose to Hunter-less-CU?

        Rain delayed slopfest with colorado just winning los all night. Jackets couldn’t stop the run or run themselves. But couldnt hold on to the ball. Little Mendoza actually looked very composed

      GT should not be kicking a field goal to go up by 6 with CO already out of time outs. A td and (likely successful) pat from CO still wins it and if you don’t convert or get a td you’re looking at better field position than your average kickoff

      Edit: fucking told you. My guess is that GT was trying to avoid an OT situation since that likely goes CO’s way

      For those of you keeping track at home that is 2 consecutive PATs with penalties against GT, 2 on defense and one on offense

      Glad to see this will be a controversy free game

      Edit: remember, the whistle doesn’t actually mean anything, the refs can declare the play dead whenever they want - signed: A Vol that remembers

    TX State @ 1Texas

    I just looked at the community poll to find out Texas’s ranking - are y’all trying to curse us with the #1 ranking? I guess I need to vote in the next one to bring the horns down a bit

      Lol, how do you miss a 24yd FG? I’m guessing TX State will be going for it on 4th a little more here on out
