Just flew in, back from Indiana.  Was at the game, which was one of the best things I've ever seen outside of the Drew Brees years!

How about Appalachian State? 

Go ‘Neers!

But App has had one hell of a football program for years, and since App made the move to the Sunbelt we’ve one back to back bowl games and now ranked 25th. We only lost to Penn State in overtime as well. So go, fight, kick a**!

Who cannot forget that game where they beat Michigan.

Sweet!  It was a game for the ages.

Rumors going around that Maye might be stepping down after this season......or sooner.

The first rankings by the College Football Playoff committee get put together tomorrow.

Alabama, Clemson, and Notre Dame will probably be the top three.

Not sure who will be #4.  I'm hoping it's the Wolverines! 

But it could be LSU, Georgia, or Oklahoma.

Can we get Bama Clemson AGAIN?

[Brooke]

I am surprised LSU is #3 with Notre Dame at #4 instead of vice versa.

There are all sorts of conspiracy theories about that choice.   

Alabama is so very good every year that it seems inevitable that they get in, but there are still some tough games out there for them.  So, while their schedule seems weak so far, it won't be by the end of the season.

Clemson seems to have an easy schedule all the way through, so we might not know if they are really a top team until the playoffs.

Coming up on another interesting weekend of awesome college football!  Woot!

Who will win, Alabama or LSU?  Odds say Alabama, but LSU is mighty good.  Will be fun to find out.

Notre Dame plays Northwestern.  You'd think ND wins easily, but Northwestern has been on a tear lately.  Another fun one.

Michigan vs. Penn State -- a grudge match for Michigan for sure against a very good Penn State team.  Go, Wolverines! 

Georgia against Kentucky.  Seem's like an easy with for Georgia, but Kentucky is rated very highly by the committee.  They must see something in Kentucky that a rank amateur like myself doesn't.  Looking forward to seeing what happens there.

Oklahoma vs. Texas Tech.  Can TT give them a run for their money?

WV vs. Texas might be a good one.

[Skuzzy]

Texas Tech does not have much if a chance against OU.  As long as the TT quarterback telegraphs every throw, they are going to struggle.  The defense is pretty good, but the offense keeps finding ways to give the other team points.

I was so disappointed in my Longhorns last week.  They should have demolished OSU.  They better get back on track this week because they are going from a 'gimme' to a 'gonna have to bust butt' game this week.

 Going to be pulling for my Hawkeyes against the Purdue Boilermakers tomorrow! GO HAWKS!

[Brooke]

I'm pulling for Texas and for Texas Tech!

Isn't Texas where they have those brain-eating amoeba?

Just wondering about it.
