What?!

I was watching that game. That fake punt play was atrocious. I came outside to smoke and Sludge on my phone and now it's over? Whoa.

The SEC is officially wide open now. Me and my uncle were just talking about this today. How we felt A&M had a shot at beating Clemson but Clemson would most likely be in Atlanta come January. Wow. This should give everyone a shot in the arm for sure.

Yep...it wasnt pretty, but it damn sure was enough...

The SEC right now is really a 3 legged race...Alabama and Auburn in the West and Georgia in the East. If Georgia beats Auburn first, then its a better shot for Alabama when the Iron Bowl rolls around. Then it will be Alabama vs Georgia for the SEC Championship and the winner is guaranteed a CFP berth.

Heres the shit kicker thats going to piss A LOT (everyone not either an Alabama, Georgia or SEC fan) of people off...what if Penn State loses to Ohio State or Michigan State...and falls. Georgia continues to win out, and makes it all the way in the CFP POll to #2...Alabama wins out and stays at #1....and the 2 of them meet at the SEC Championship...regardless of who wins, the CFP is likely to give BOTH teams a CFP berth...especially if #3 and #4 are 1 loss teams with weaker SOS, or even a no loss PAC 12 team with no losses....

That's a damn good point. All year long it was about how its UCLA's year, and Florida & Bama in the rubber match. But now it's wide open much like the Big 12. I think A&M can finish 9-3 and get in there. I do think Penn State will lose at least one game. It's shaping up to be one hell of an Iron Bowl, and a VERY important game in the grand scheme of things.

Now #8 Washington State falls to California, 37 - 3...and no one saw this coming....

Now the PAC 12 is about to seriously get interesting....

Go Cuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssseeeeee.

Aw BURN!

LSU comes back from 20-zip to whoop that ass!

Crazy, huh? War Eagle went down in flames today! Looks like the Dawgs are still rolling over Mizzou at the moment. Hope they can pull it off.

I called thie LSU upset of Auburn...and only missed the final score by a total of 3 points on LSU and 2 points on Auburn. LSU was totally committed to winning, and Auburn just cant shake the "curse" of Death Valley.

I also had GT upsetting Miami today, and had it not been for that last FG, I would have had that one too...

San Diego State don't cry..2nd asskicking is coming...stupid ass cunt scabs

Hopefully...this is the 1 and only Chaos weekend this season...

#2 Clemson...beaten
#5 Washington...Beaten
#8 Washington State...beaten
#10 Auburn....beaten
#11 Miami...skims by, by 1 point...
#12 Oklahoma...skims by, by 5 points
#13 USC....skims by, by 1 point....
#19 San DIego State....beaten

This will do some serious upfuckery of the AP Poll. I see the Top 10 coming out like this:

#1 Alabama Crimson Tide
#2 Penn State Nittany Lions
#3 Georgia Bulldogs
#4 TCU Horned Frogs
#5 Ohio State
#6 Wisconsin
#7 Oklahoma Sooners
#8 Miami Hurricanes
#9 Oklahoma State Cowboys
#10 USC Trojans


Here is what my prediction vs final outcome looked like...

I'll give it to you, you called some of these updets.

I think Coach O extended his tenure at Auburn.

Texas gave OU all they could handle but those two 4th down calls killed their chances. Seriously wtf?

It wasn't pretty at The Swamp, but A&M pulled it off. Is it enough to get them ranked? Should be, but we'll see.

Well, the AP shakeup was just about as expected. I forgot to include Clemson last night, chalk it up to a brainfart...

New AP Poll looks like this:
#1 Alabama
#2 Penn State
#3 Georgia
#4 TCU
#5 Wisconsin
#6 Ohio State
#7 Clemson
#8 Miami
#9 Oklahoma
#10 Oklahoma State

Gamecocks fan...so I hate Georgia. That being said, I think Georgia would hammer Penn State.

I still don't understand why Texas A&M aren't in. They're 5-2 and 2nd in the SEC West.

Most likely, its due to the 2 losses and the their SOS. They lost early to UCLA, who now are now 3-3, pollsters let those 1st games carry a lot more weight than what they should generally. Then TAMU went on a 3 game win streak, but 2 games were cupcakes and the 3rd was Arkansas who everyone knows isnt a strong team this year. Then they go toe-to-toe with the #1 Crimson Tide, losing only by 9...played Alabama better than any team so far. Next they squeak out a win over Florida. Overall, their win/loss record is good, but the quality of wins and quality of losses compared to their opponents is working against them. I can see them jumping into the polls if they win out the remainder of their SEC games..and thats a tough row to hoe...

Artemis2085 wrote:I think Coach O extended his tenure at Auburn.

Did you mean vs. Auburn or AT LSU (because the game was also at LSU)?

So, since I shared my shit already, might as well keep it up right...

So, here we are, Week 8...and what a fine weekend of football it will be!
For those who are living under a rock, this is The 3rd Weekend in October...#1 Alabama Crimson Tide vs the Tennessee Volunteers...what could be any better for a fall day?
There are some other notable games, dont fret non SEC fans:
#2 Penn State vs #19 Michigan
#4 TCU Horned Frogs vs Kansas Jayhawks
#5 Wisconsin takes on Maryland
#8 Miami duels it out with The Clemson Killers, the Syracuse Orangemen
Etc, Etc, Etc...most of the Top 20 are playing, pnly 4 byes this week.
With that said, I am now dropping to the AP Top 15...the bottom 5 spots truly at this point pose no issue to the top 15 spots. In a couple more weeks, I will drop to the AP Top 10, and then down to the CFP Poll....
So, without further ado, heres this weeks board...2 Upset Picks this week:
#8 Miami vs Syracuse...and I am taking Syracuse....Miami is ripe for a fall and Syracuse has already claimed one Top team..GT carried Miami all the way to the final 42 seconds before Miami pulled out a 2 point win...
#11 USC Trojans vs #13 Notre Dame Fighting Irish...and I think USC can take the Flaky Irish, even with a jacked-up and wrecked Defense...at least I am hoping. Strange things happen, and ND has a habit of falling apart at the worst times...like this weekend..

Well, the Tide is still Rolling, and the Volunteers are still shitty...with a decent set of good players. Butch Jones has got to go at some point...

Oh, and I barely missed my prediction on this game...

Close one today, Sooners!

So, Georgia Southern finally got rid of their coach today after a lousy 1 1/2 seasons...He won't be missed.

Las Vegas send swim team this week better competition

Yep...its almost time again...so heres my predictions for this weekends games...AP Top 15....

JT Barrett just edged back into the Heisman race.

Take away the kickoff and one big run, and Barkley looked extremely pedestrian.

McElwain out at FL. Who didn't see this coming???

Nah...Barrett may be on the radar, but he wont get an invite unless they take 5 or more...way too much competition out there right now...

Saquon Barkley - Penn State
Baker Mayfield - Oklahoma
Bryce Love - Stanford
Mason Rudolph - Oklahoma State
Josh Adams - Notre Dame



Unless something terrible happens to those ^^^ 5 guys, JT will get to sit at home and watch with the rest of us.

Man, do I love College Football...
Next weekend is going to be a great weekend as well....

#1 Alabama vs #19 LSU @ Tuscaloosa...and the Tide come out as a 21.5 point favorite. I dont agree with that spread, but I will deal with that when I post up my next prediction board later this week.

#16 Auburn takes on Texas A&M...this should give Auburn a true test seeing as TAMU gave #1 Alabama their best game so far this season.

#7 Penn State vs #24 Michigan State...another Big 10 match-up that Penn State desperately needs to win after the loss to Ohio State.

#2 Georgia vs South Carolina...why does this game matter you ask? Well, simple, the Gamecocks always come to play, and in the past, they have been spoilers of sorts, and this is exactly the type of game that "old Richt-led Georgia" would lose and start the downfall of their season...Kirby needs to keep the train on the tracks here...

#8 Oklahoma vs #11 Oklahoma State..Battle in Bedlam...need i say more?


Heres the results of the picks I made for this weekend's games...out of 15 played, I got the winners right in 13 of them, of those wins I had the score within 10 points of the actual final score, and 4 more I had within 15 points. On top of that, I had Arizona picked as an "upset" over #15 Washington State, and they pulled it off! Overall, great weekend for me and my "predictions"...

Don’t take this the wrong way but nobody gives a fuck about you doing this Jimmy the Greek imitation of yours.

Where are you Bodybagz? Don’t take my shit talking personal. I’ve got to talk a little bit of trash you’re the Alabama fan on here.

I cannot fucking stand Nick Satan. I admire the team's he's put together and what he's done with them. But I'm ready to see the fucker get knocked down a peg.

The dirt going around is that Kevin Sumlin will be fired following the LSU game.

Nick Saban is what Nick Saban is...a great College football coach who knows how to not just coach young players, but also how to get them to believe that they can, are and will be the best. Now, having said that, even as a true "homer" for the Tide, I am one of his staunchest critics at times. I still havent quit being pissed at him for the "Kick 6" a few years ago, and I likely never will; it was the wrong fucking thing to do, going for the 1 sec back and then trying a ludicrous FG. Same thing with the loss to Ohio State...he made the decision to forgo the running game (Derrick Henry) and in turn, Ohio State came out with the win. The man is fallible...and fans are fickle as fuck...especially Alabama fans. They are too eager to forget the shitty years, and I am a firm believer that about 65% of Alabama fans now are <10 year fans...they jumped on board when Nick started winning. I think he still has a solid 5 years left before he hangs up his straw hat and takes the AD job...

Sumlin is 1 of several who will shift around...the SEC is getting gutted a bit;
Sumlin @ Texas A&M
Butch Jones @ Tennessee
Bielema possibly @ Arkansas
Malzahn possibly @ Auburn
Ole Miss will be looking possibly to replace their "interim" coach, but may wait until after the fallout from the NCAA probe and just use the interim guy as a "until we can find a real guy"
Florida will have the same thing going on with Randy Shannon...hard to think he will stay on as HC...
