[Terry the Fat Shark]

Who wants to lose this game more?

[Dereich]

Watching this game while fighting an actual dragon in D&D is the most stressful time I've had in months.

[GeorgiaModerate]

LSU looks atrocious.

[NewYorkExpress]

LSU looks atrocious.

Brian Kelly should not have left Notre Dame.

[sting in the rafters]

Lmfaoooo LSU and FSU both got the butterfingers bad
Edit: Shouldn't whether or not he was in bounds be irrelevant because FSU called timeout anyway?

[Dereich]

I hate this sport.

[Dereich]

Nevermind. GO NOLES

[Terry the Fat Shark]

lol

[Dereich]

LSU (I'm not sure why the line is so close. LSU should crush Florida State in my opinion.)

[Terry the Fat Shark]

you are welcome Dereich

[NewYorkExpress]

LSU (I'm not sure why the line is so close. LSU should crush Florida State in my opinion.)

Yes, yes, you were right and I was wrong.

[7,052,770]

HAHAHAHA

What a perfect end to a great opening weekend of football.

[sting in the rafters]

LSU's ST really Cheddar Bobbed them down the stretch.

[Dereich]

you are welcome Dereich

[GeorgiaModerate]

WEEK 1 RESULTS

Dereich was the sole winner at 19-6, with three people a game behind.  The full results:

19 Dereich
18 ExtremeRepublican, Harry, Storr
17 Illiniwek, Terry
16 GeorgiaModerate, JGibson
15 CalamityBlue, NY Express
14 Donerail, Thomas D
12 Grumps, Orwell

There was one unanimous pick (Mississippi State over Memphis) and it was correct.  There were five games with a single dissenter; the dissenter was wrong in all of them:

Pitt-West Virginia
TCU-Colorado
Georgia-Oregon
Nevada-Texas State
Ohio State-Notre Dame

[NewYorkExpress]

Georgia Tech just hanging around against #4 Clemson. It's currently 17-10 Clemson, as the third quarter reaches it's conclusion.

I root against Tech on principle, but I’ll admit I’d LMAO if they beat Clemson.

25-Houston

Florida at #12 is uhhh...odd...to me. Looks like a setup for a "top 10 game" at the cocktail party where Georgia will be favored by 20. It also feels like they have no idea what to do outside the top 3.

[Illiniwek]

Still not sure I have fully processed the Illinois-Indiana game yet. It feels very familiar to feel like the officiating, a coaching decision, and lack of execution each single-handedly lost the game. Everything had to go wrong for Illinois to lose that game, and it did. On the whole, I think the team will still be "good" this year, but I have to imagine that cost us our opportunity at a bowl game, which is the true measuring stick of this team. Ugh.

Iowa State @ Iowa 4 PM EDT BTN

Virginia @ Illinois 4 PM EDT ESPNU I definitely think the wrong team is favored here. I attempted to place a wager on the underdog when I was out of state this weekend, but forgot to pull the trigger... Nonetheless, it will be good to be the home team on a late afternoon game before what should be a good crowd on one of the best weather weekends on the calendar in Champaign. I'll back the boys to get revenge after experiencing A LOT of different scenarios so far going into week 2. The season really is make or break right here!

Also setting up USC to be in the playoff if they can only lose 1 game or less since they are back in the top 10 on brand
