Penn State dropping is annoying but completely justified, as they didn't play as strong an opponent as Clemson, Oklahoma or USC (though it didn't hurt Alabama any)

Why would it be annoying? The polls mean nothing.

 

(Yes UMFan is ripping on caring about power rankings. It's been that kind of weekend)

Mildly annoying on top of the major annoyance that polls exist.

 

I also don't believe for a second that the playoff committee ignores polls like they claim

Penn St will make the playoff with 1 loss and a Big Ten Title, they won't without, the polls won't matter

FIU/IU and GA Tech/UCF canceled because of Irma. UCF down to a 10 game schedule.

Dumb: Penn State playing an FCS school

Super Dumb: in prime time

[Derwood]

The ABC post game show was supposed to start at 3pm, but the UCLA v Memphis game was still in the third quarter. They are about to surpass 1000 total yards of offense

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Nate Stanley has thrown 3 TD passes in the 1st quarter. Iowa just tied it up 7-7.

[bcl412]

I hope Iowa is having another one of those seasons where they're randomly 9-0 or something even though they aren't really that good and I spend all my time getting mad at the media for talking about them not being really good.

Being picky, but GSU is in the Sun Belt. They haven't been FCS in a while.

[Andy]

That was one of the weirder ND games I can remember. One minute they're up 1 in the third and I'm ready for the wheels to completely come off and then seemingly moments later it's a blowout and the backups are in. I still don't feel good about MSU next week.

Huh

[Derwood]

LOL at Tennessee's play call on that final play

hopefully I’m wrong, but I don't believe you’ll have to worry about that

[CubInOK]

This Texas-USC game has suddenly become fire.

[LeonDurham]

Hell of a game. That fumble sucked.

 

Fun to see college QB's who can actually throw the ball.
