2022 College Football Discussion & Pick'em Thread

[NewYorkExpress]

Alabama just took the lead on Tennessee 35-34, late in the 3rd quarter.

Well, there goes the SEC (and my) dreams of having three teams in the playoff. (unless of course Ole Miss loses only against Alabama the rest of the way).

Tennessee is down 1 and it's not even the 4th quarter yet.  Please tell me you won't be like this on election night.

I won't be here on election night (or at least, I won't be on the election boards).

Tennessee-Bama tied at 49 with a little over 3 minutes left.

WHAT A COMEBACK!!! TCU!!!

[Dereich]

VOLS WIN, SCREW YOU BAMA

edit: Saban probably wakes up to nightmares of seconds being placed back on the clock at the end of regulation

[Pedocon Theory is not a theory]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO GO VOLS

[Alben Barkley]

Holy f--king s--t, it actually happened

[Orwell]

Knoxville is going to burn tonight

[NewYorkExpress]

Is there a scenario out there where the SEC gets all four playoff teams (Alabama, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Georgia)?

no

Like realistically? No, It'd require Michigan and OSU to both lose 3 games and AT LEAST 3 losses from every other conference champion.

Dreadful game going on in Lexington right now

[Del Tachi]

Goddamn it Bama.

The ONE TIME I wanted you to win more than any other...

Alabama needs to lose so that Mississippi State has a clear path to winning the West, with a cushion, if they win tonight and next week.

You never want to play Alabama after a loss.

It's not like MSST was going to win anyway, they're gonna finish with at least 3 losses in the regular season, dropping to Bama and UGA, and hopefully Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl.

Great day of football, my picks were horrendous but that’s ok

[GeorgiaModerate]

WEEK 7 RESULTS

Some wild games led to a rough week for the pick-em players, as collectively we were just barely above .500 at 164-161.  Donerail led the way with 16-9, followed by Harry and Terry at 15-10.  Full results:

16 Donerail
15 Harry, Terry
14 ExtremeR, GeorgiaModerate
13 Illiniwek
12 CalamityBlue, Dereich, JGibson
11 Grumps, Ishan, NY Express
8 ultraviolet

There was only one unanimous pick, Purdue over Nebraska, and it was correct.  There were four games with a single dissenter:

Michigan-Penn State
Eastern Michigan-Northern Illinois (dissenter was right)
Wisconsin-Michigan State (dissenter was right)
Southern Miss-Arkansas State

I took over the overall lead by a game over Dereich and Illiniwek.  Year to date (175 games):

118 GeorgiaModerate   
117 Dereich, Illiniwek   
115 Terry   
114 Harry
