[Ding Dong Johnson]

Calling it now. 4 of the top 8 will lose this week.

I wouldnt be surprised...Not a gimme in the bunch.

[Derwood]

Classic trap game for Penn State. They’re at Iowa next week, so hoping that the revenge factor will keep them focused on IU

[NOLA]

It's Bama/Georgia, and then everyone else. Arkansas comes back down to Earth at Athens this weekend. Still, considering where they were just two seasons ago, it's amazing to be where they are.

 

Also, this is the best college football weekend of the season by far.

[OleMissCub]

The OM-BAMA o/u is 79, which is the highest o/u in SEC history.

OM and the over.

Not sure about OM winning but definitely take the over. Still not gonna pick OM to win but generally when Bama loses in Tuscaloosa during the Saban era it’s because the best player on the field is playing for the visitors (Manziel and Burrow) and I think Corral is certainly the best player on either team at the moment, so we’ll see

Guessing he meant Ole Miss plus the points (14.5 or so).

We didn’t even mention the point spread so I assume he was picking OM to win. Plenty of analysts are actually picking OM to win outright.

OM plus the points, but it would not surprise me in the least if OM wins. Thinking the score is around 45-42, one way or the other.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

161 total yards, 31 points. 2021 Iowa football.

One guy rushed for -8 yards and 2 TD

[bukie]

Seven turnovers for Maryland today to 0 for Iowa.

Michigan at Wisconsin is the battle of two fan bases that are adamant that they will lose the game based on what I’ve seen on Twitter all week.

 

Michigan has lost a billion games in a row at Madison, Wisconsin has nothing to lose, and Michigan just got exposed in the 2nd half against Rutgers. I just have a hard time visualizing victory but crazier things have happened

I’m at the game right now. We just played your fight song. I get it, be nice. But what the heck??

[UK]

I didn't expect Ark/UGA to be under 2 TDs but this has been ugly.

Outclassed. Arkansas is pretty good, but Georgia might be the best team in CFB.

[Derwood]

Wisconsin is legit terrible

Uhhh disregard

 

Will be interesting to see how things go. Given how Nebraska has played since their loss to Illinois (losing at Oklahoma and at MSU by 9 total points) next week at night in Nebraska will be tough, then they still have MSU AND PSU on the road and of course the auto-loss at home to OSU.

 

This is the 6th straight year Michigan has played Wisconsin despite being in different divisions. Will be nice to not have to play them in addition to MSU, PSU and OSU every season

[Derwood]

UM only plays Wiscy once in the next four years, so you're off the hook

[Soul]

Wisconsin is legit terrible

Legit.

 

I think I’m ready to call for a HC change. I decided to watch the rest of the team today rather than just Mertz. Everyone here is getting all over Mertz but the problems go way, way beyond him.

 

How do you go from a play away from a Rose bowl win to bottom feeder in the space of one COVID shortened season. It’s time for heads to roll.

 

By the way, a horrible epiphany hit me around the 3rd Q today. I realized that I get to watch Nagy offense on both Saturday and Sunday each week.

 

Loads of fun up here in Madison…

[NOLA]

I should’ve stuck to my first idea. BAMA and Georgia are head and shoulders better than anyone else. Still want to see Oregon play though.

Best players money can buy for both Bama and Georgia.

 

5 star linemen against 3 star linemen rarely works out for the 3 stars.

These exciting top 10 matchups have been anything but
