Bleh.  Not much going on this week, although I think Ole Miss might take down LSU.

I guess I haven't been paying attention...Duke and Kansas are top 25 football programs?

Mike Elko seems like a really good coach at Duke, and they've got a pretty good QB.  

Kansas has a super fun offense

[CubinNY]

Hugh Freeze has it about as good as anyone in college football right now. No matter what Auburn does the fans are blaming Harsin. Should be a good couple of years until things get hot.

I’d argue that the Auburn HC is not a great gig.  Always looking up at BAMA and Georgia with a very impatient fan base who expects to be on their tier.  Cam is the only reason they’ve won a title.

Just wait until ND goes in there on the letdown spot to end all letdown spots. If they play with 11 men on the field every play they should win by multiple scores, but Duke is plenty good enough to win if they don't show up.

I agree. But on the other hand, they pay a lot for mediocracy. And now Freeze has two or three years to skate before people start to understand he's not good either.

Somewhere out there are some rural households with big fans of the sport of football who struggle to get more than a channel or 2 with their homemade aluminum foil antennas so they eagerly look forward to enjoying at Saturday night game on the nearest NBC affiliate.  

I would like to apologize in advance to those folks for what they are about to see this upcoming weekend.

Penn State sleepwalking to a 10-10 tie at the half vs. Northwestern

[Andy]

There is no way USC is winning the Pac-12 with this defense. No matter how great Caleb is.

[Derwood]

That's a hell of a comeback by Colorado

[NOLA]

Not surprised to see LSU struggling at Ole Miss.  The only good team they’ve played blew them out, they barely beat a bad Arkansas team and even struggled early against Grambling.  They may pull this out, but damn is the SEC down this year.  I’m sure Atlanta would love a Kentucky/Ole Miss title game.

FML. I had the Duke ML. 

[Derwood]

End of the ND Duke game was eerily similar to the end of the ND OSU game
