2021 College Football Discussion and Pick'em Thread

If Kentucky isn’t not only ranked, but ranked in the top 10 after this, we riot. We just shut down a Florida team that came within 2 points of beating Bama!

Although FiveThirtyEight’s ELO respects us at least; it now has us as the fifth best team in the country. Fake news journalists just can’t accept the fact that this is a VERY different Kentucky now though!

Kentucky is literally better than they have been in generations.

I do not even know what to do at this point! Do I gloat? Do I jerk off? Do I mock lesser SEC programs?

It's an entirely new sensation and I don't really even know how to process it!

I think I’m done with college football forever. That game last night probably took a couple years off my life and was the most heartbreaking and devastating sporting event I’ve watched since the 2015 Final Four. It was such an ugly game too; our usually solid defense disappeared, the refs screwed us at a pivotal moment, we managed to convert a 4th & 24 anyway but it all collapsed in the most painful way possible. A dream season has become a living nightmare. I’m just done with it. Sick of being Charlie Brown trying to kick Lucy’s football.

Sadly, more like the 30th or so. And yet I keep getting my hopes up anyway, sigh.
