2020 College Football Discussion and Pick 'Em Thread

[DINGO Joe]

Actually, now that I think about it, why can't our first game be September 7 (BYU @ Navy)?

Why can't it be September 4 (South Alabama @ Southern Miss)?

Just saw that after Southern Miss lost the game, the coach quit.

Paul Finebaum is floating Hugh Freeze for the USM job, and given the Falwell and Blexit scandals at Liberty he'd probably want out even if it pays less than Liberty.  Still, the thought of Freeze, Leach and Kiffin in state at the same time is hilarious.

I'm switching my pick in Campbell-Georgia Southern to Campbell.

You must be very bored.

The Big 12 isn't having a great day.  Arkansas State just won at Kansas State.

I picked Ark St.  not because I thought they'd win, but i wanted to pick Kansas and didn't believe the football gods would let both Kansas teams win on the same weekend.

[DINGO Joe]

Texas State, down 41-35 with 30 seconds left, ran back a punt 91 yards for a TD -- and then missed the extra point.  Going to OT tied at 41.

UTSA wins in 20T.  Your Campbell pick almost worked.  They scored with 15 seconds left and instead of taking it into OT, they went for 2 and came up short.

That sounds like the name of a law firm.

Naw, that would be Dewey, Cheatham and Howe.

Well, so much for Les performing miracles in Kansas

I guess this is what the pandemic has brought us to, having to pick an Abilene Christian-UTEP game.

BYU offensive lineman Tristen Hoge is being treated for pneumonia after contracting COVID earlier this month.  He was one of several BYU players that tested positive after the Navy game.  After he was cleared to resume playing, he came back for one practice and didn't feel well after.

I'm getting the feeling there's not going to be a lot of separation this week.

Star CB, Derek Stingley won't play for LSU today because he was "acutely ill" and hospitalized with a non-COVID ailment.

[DINGO Joe]

And against my advice of "expect anything", I parlayed 11 double digits point favorites outright (with 9 team round robins). That worked twice last year so maybe I'll catch magic this week.

You stupid idiot. Two years in a row you let Kansas State destroy an 11 team parlay vs. Oklahoma. At least this year it won't be 10 for 11, will it? Lol

Oklahoma, no playoffs for you! Ban the whole Big XII

Given the total lack of non-conference play in the Big 12, and the failure of teams that did play, I don't know how the power ranking on Big 12 teams can be anything other than a steaming pile of goo.

[DINGO Joe]

Down goes Oklahoma!  38-35.

I think everyone picked Oklahoma.

Anyways. There goes the Big Twelve's chances of getting into the playoff.

Why is it when I pick an upset, I'm wrong, but when I don't pick an upset, I'm also wrong?

You're not picking the right upsets.

All that offense and a Mike Leach team gets shut out on offense.  Wonder when the last time a Leach team was shut out?

[DINGO Joe]

Florida is suspending all football activities, LSU-Florida has not been postponed yet....but it wouldn't be surprising.

And it's postponed to Dec 12th.  Also Saban has tested positive.

^ While I am not, like, predicting some season full of wins for Illinois, we DID beat Wisconsin last year and, more relevantly, we beat Purdue, too.  We played Iowa QUITE tough in Iowa City, too.  I think we will be a scrappy team.

So says the Illinois homer.

What have I posted to suggest I’m a homer besides stating I’m a fan?

You seem like a dork, lol.

Settle down, RINO is a shameless homer who should be ashamed and NYE is a dork.  Argument settled.

Looked more scrap heap than scrappy tonite.
