Mizzou vs. BC has a Top 25 matchup was not something I expected

[Sosa21MVP]

Traveling to Pasadena tomorrow, got a ticket for the IU-UCLA game so I'll be there for the weekend. I simply could not pass up the opportunity to say I got to see IU play in the Rose Bowl. 😆

Pasadena is awesome. I was there last year for a conference.

I live arond South Bend, so Notre Dame doing well is a big deal to this community. However, I am wearing my Purdue shirt today. Definitely a long shot, but if they put ND on their ass today it would essentially end their season. 

Purdue should put up some points, will be interesting to see if the ND QB can get his horsefeathers together this week. 

[CubinNY]

Michigan is not good. They will not be until they modernize their offense

ND just got pushed around by a pretty good but not great MAC team, no one beating them can be called a long shot right now. Their QB also has a labrum injury that for some insane reason it looks like Marcus Freeman is going to have him play through.

[Derwood]

FSU might be bad, guys

[Derwood]

Davis and Herbstreit doing the noon game is weird

[Andy]

This is the most annoying blowout win in the history of Notre Dame football. A tenth of this effort and last week would've been an easy win.

If A&M would have played Marcel Reed at QB against ND you very well could have lost that one. We look like a completely different team today. Weigman getting hurt may have completely changed our trajectory.

This Notre Dame team does not deserve playoff conversation (unfortunately no one knows how to talk about the sport without it so I still see it all the time), and yet I couldn't help but notice that result. Hi, it's me, I'm the problem.

Quinn Ewers out with an abdominal strain, so Arch Manning comes in and throws 4 TD (on 9 completions) and runs for a 5th

So far

[cwood218]

Indiana really killing UCLA. Looking at their upcoming games they could actually get to 6-0. Before dropping the last 6 games of they year.

Yeah they’re a mess. Why they didn’t go portaling for a QB is beyond me. I think they are going to really struggle to make a bowl game

[cwood218]

Wait, seriously, are you just frustrated by their current level of play and really mean not "Michigan" good, Or do you mean "losing to Indiana" not good?

[Derwood]

Kentucky in a position to beat Georgia

[Derwood]

And I actually feel bad for Kent State. 0-2 (including a loss to St. Francis of PA), losing 71-0 to Tennessee, and travel to Penn State next week

[Derwood]

Welp, Kentucky choked on the chicken bone and lost by 1

We'll see if Georgia sticks at #1

[cwood218]

Gotta think at least Texas will jump them. Being #2 and winning 56-7 or whatever the score was.

Seeing a QB named Manning run for a 67 yard TD...

Every MAC team plays paycheck games, but sometimes (and for whatever reason it feels like Kent State is often in this group) their schools can really go overboard. Don't know what on field benefit there can be for teams to get repeatedly smashed like that.

Related, Ball State lost 62-0 to Miami, but at least their only other paycheck game is Vanderbilt. Hopefully that one won't be too terrible.

He takes after his grandad. If you watch old video of Archie, he was Lamar Jackson before it was cool.  The speed must have skipped a generation.

Florida State got a QB out of the portal. Not really working out for them. Lol. 

[soccer10k]

This is not a mistake. Missouri actually ran a play on 2nd and 59 on Saturday.
