Not sure about that safety call. Thought the WR was close enough.

I'm not feeling confident in the Michigan's ability to beat Ohio State this year. We will see though.

[Navybuc]

If Bama doesn’t beat Georgia…NOBODY is beating them. Kirby Smart with an offense…now that’s a scary team.

[Phantom]

@cheb, what do you reckon about having Jesse Minter as the interim coach? Do you think it makes any difference?

You know, with Harbaught-McCarthy, he didn't throw a single interception. But without Harbaugh, he ended up with four interceptions.

[Cheb]

@cheb, do you think having Jesse Minter as the interim coach makes a difference?

With Harbaught-McCarthy, there were zero interceptions.
Without Harbaugh- 4

I think the differences in performance between Minter and Harbaugh are obvious, not just in McCarthy's picks but in the general way that the offense functions.

Speaking as a guy who can and would call inside runs on every offensive snap if the football gods would allow it, you can't do that against good competition and win games. The best way to help out a dominant run game is to make safeties and linebackers hesitate and think so they can't fast-flow to their run responsibilities. Even if you're a double wing veer team, you still have to hit the defense with play action and misdirection. Taking the air outta the ball and crashing into the middle of the defense every play is just as dumb as going shotgun fury and bombing it 30+ yards every snap.

So Michigan…baaahahaha!

[acmillis]

Jordan Travis with a gruesome injury…yikes

[Navybuc]

Damn FSU season just took a u-turn. Travis injury doesn’t look good.

[Phantom]

So Michigan…baaahahaha!

what are you laughing at? They’re undefeated.

North Alabama? C’mon

I’m laughing because of all the hate piling on them. Meanwhile, they just keep winning anyway.

A shame. I hate seeing shit like this happen.

[Noles1724]

Wtf

The injury.

[Buc2]

Just watched the video. That was nasty.

[Phantom]

What happened to Jordan Travis? I missed part of the 1st quarter.

[Navybuc]

So Michigan…baaahahaha!

what are you laughing at? They’re undefeated.

Still need to win the big one, though. We’ve been here before with Michigan. It’s put up or shut up time. No more getting into the playoffs and then watching their defense getting trounced in the first round.

Just please beat OSU. I hate Ryan Day with a passion.

[Navybuc]

Screw Caleb. Give me Michael Penix with the No. 1 pick.

[Kress]

Maye looked like ass today, too. Maybe 70% ass. He ran better than he threw.

[Xandtar]

I watched LSU last night. The other team hung with them for a quarter or so, but LSU just kept scoring TDs every possession. Towards the end, though, it was kinda sad, the SEC officials were a little too LSU-friendly and so were the announcers. Since the only thing LSU has left this season is a Heisman chase, they let their very good QB pad his stats much more than they should have. Late in the game when the score was out of reach, one Georgia State WR made a great catch, first called a catch then an incompletion, because the LSU player hit him out of bounds and knocked the ball loose. It should have been Georgia State on about the 20 to play for some pride but instead they were on their own 20, went for it on 4th down, and never scored.

I was ashamed at the butt-kissing hype of facing a team that was trying their best to win, and running up the score on them like they were Sister Mary's flag football team just so Coach Kelly can show potential QB recruits that he'll run up the score on their behalfs too if they come to LSU and get a Heisman shot. Given the historical record of LSU recruiting QBs, I understand but with the portal QBs are as likely to transfer out as in, so I'm not celebrating with the rest of the fanbase. LSU lost their season from the get-go and they lost to Bama, everything else is just running out the clock on the season.

Hopefully Mertz is okay for next week because I think the Gators have a shot to beat FSU. The Seminoles could spoil someone's party, most likely Texas, because I think Big 10 champ, SEC champ, and Pac 10 champs are in. If FSU loses, then Texas could get in.

Given the lack of upsets this year from top 5, it prolly means there's no room for error for OSU, Michigan, or Georgia. Can't afford a loss. Not sure they'd put a 1-loss non-Big 10 champ or 1-loss non-SEC champ in over a Big 12 champ. But it's possible.

[Phantom]

The Game over the past 9 matchups will have had

3 (top 3) matchups
4 (top 5) matchups
6 (top 10) matchups
7 (top 15) matchups

[Phantom]

Yay or nay? I think Louisville will win the ACC championship.

1 SEC winner
2. BIG Ten winner
3. Washington
4.Texas

He's not going to play. It'll be a battle of backup QB.

Not sure Washington is going to beat Oregon. Then you get into a question of Oregon, Texas, or Mich-OSU loser. If FSU wins out and Oregon wins, then it becomes Big 12 champ or PAC 10 champ…in which case I’d go PAC 10 given the Ducks tougher schedule.

If Bama wins, everything could get crazy.

Blake Corum uses his NIL money to hand out hundreds of Thanksgiving turkeys. He is such a great guy at this young age. Great player.

[Selmon Rules]

Damn FSU season just took a u-turn. Travis injury doesn’t look good.

Saw that, ankles aren't supposed to turn that way

I guess we get to see if the backup can keep playing well enough. Offense seemed to be ok once he got settled in

so many weapons.. just get the ball to them. The back up should be fine in terms of being ready.. he led a comeback against Louisville a few years ago and also won at Clemson

I like Norvell. Guy is a hell of a coach. Gators missed out hiring him a few years back. FSU a solid team who has come a long way. But with or without Travis, I just don’t see them in the same class as a Georgia or even a Michigan or Oregon. They will be in a year or two, but don’t think they’re there yet.

Weather Forecast for The Game.

Overcast. High around 40F.

There is reportedly a chance of snow, as well.

[Phantom]

Good luck @SaggyBallZ

May the best team win
