That's just embarrassing.

It's still early, but Georgia Southern is beating Nebraska 14-7.

Will Scott Frost be fired if Nebraska loses this one?

If they do lose, you might finally be right on one of those predictions.

I seem to recall eventually getting Dan Mullen's firing right, and I know I predicted Lincoln Riley getting hired at Oklahoma successfully.

He could lose out and I doubt Nebraska fires him until after October 1st, when Frost's buyout drops from $15 million to $7.5 million.

What on earth is wrong with the SEC West? San Jose State leads Auburn 10-7 at halftime.

Ominous. Pray that it doesn't extend into "Pac-12 After Dark."

Florida was probably drastically overranked.

They really shouldn't do any rankings at all until October. It's all just guessing early on, and primarily based on the "prestige" of the programs.

Damn, I was gonna pick Kansas and talked myself out of it at the last second. Lance Leipold is a great coach.

It's not over.  West Virginia just tied it with 35 seconds left.  But certainly a surprising performance from Kansas.

It's over. It ended a few minutes ago. A 55-42 overtime victory, which is the first time I've ever seen a team score twice in the same OT, but Kansas ran back a pick 6 after having scored in their half.

Weird; ESPN is showing at 42-42 end of 4th.  But I've seen them make mistakes before.

When was the last time Kansas won a road conference game?

EDIT: ESPN's scoreboard is running way behind, obviously.

Florida's play calling is...different.

Indiana trailing Idaho 10-0 at halftime!

Nevada is losing at home to FCS Incarnate Word 31-17!

How did they let Colorado State poach their coach? I could understand a P5 school, but just another mid-level MWC team?

"Mid-level MWC team" obscures a lot of differences between those programs. Colorado State is a great place to coach — brand new stadium, decent recruiting footprint, Fort Collins is a nice town, and the football budget is near the top of the league. It should be Boise-level good (or at least the people in charge there think it should), even if its on-field results have been mediocre.

Nevada, by contrast, is not that. Lowest coaching salary pool in the MWC, only cold-weather MWC school without an indoor practice facility, very poor recruiting. Norvell's work there is probably the high-water mark of what can be accomplished — making that program into a mid-level MWC team is incredibly difficult. He managed to develop a few stars and, given how difficult that would be to sustain at Nevada, jumped at the right moment to a MWC program with more resources. (He was rumored to be talking to Utah State the season prior.) More than doubled his salary with the move too.

I don't think I did very well on the pick-em this week...

The laptop with the spreadsheet has been put to bed, but IIRC you were about 3 games off the lead last time I checked.

Nebraska lost 45-42 on a missed 52 yard field goal attempt as time expired. Nebraska is now 5-22 in one score games under Frost.

The Sun Belt East's only loss to a P5 team today was Georgia State's 35-28 loss to UNC. It's good to be champs. lol
