Totally normal sport we have.

 

[Irrelevant Dude]

I don't expect Illinois to beat Penn St, but man does that 17.5 point line seem high.  Of course Vegas knows what they are doing and Penn St. will probably end up winning by 18 points, but that is a lot of points to give up for a 9 vs 19 matchup.

NCAA has no one to blame (about NIL) than themselves. They fought tooth and nail to keep players from being paid by the schools that they've unleashed this nightmare (and they can never undo it)

[Andy]

Mustache man is back with more bad news

 

 

[gflore34]

Right now I don't see Miami being challenged in ACC, they've got a very good chance at a top 4 seed.  And, of course, Ward throws an int after getting a TD pass called back on a hold.  This was almost the kiss of death, geez.

Hail Mary at end of VA Tech/Miami game is coming down to a booth review

And I have no idea what they're going to do. I'm not sure the guy fully had it but they also ruled it a catch and I don't see enough to overturn it. If they called it incomplete I'm not sure they overturn it either.

[soccer10k]

Incomplete pass, Miami wins.

I thought that the ruling would stand whichever way the on field call would be

Appeared the ball was never firmly caught, was moving throughout the whole process of the catch.

[Derwood]

Rutgers beats Washington

[Tryptamine]

I have zero expectations for Illinois tomorrow, but if they do pull it off I will be incredibly hyped.

I think I agree but man I do not envy the replay official. That might have been the first replay I've ever seen where I had absolutely no opinion on what the correct ruling should've been.

Didn't help that they had 6 angles and all of them sucked

[Tank]

Just want to shoutout Andy for putting these threads together every week for us. Your work is much appreciated my friend!

Man....I don't know about that offsides call at the end of the UM/Minny game

Nor do I, probably be another ho, hum blowout for Penn State, we'll see.  At least, the Illini go into to the game with no pressure and nothing to lose.

Refs employed by a conference make a bad call that benefits team the conference stands to make playoff money off of. Stunning.

[Derwood]

Wiscy turned a 21-10 lead into a 38-21 deficit real quick

[Andy]

ND opened as 5 point favorites, closed at 6.5. Win by 7. Vegas always knows

[Derwood]

Illinois just ran over the PSU defense for an easy scoring drive. Crowd is silent

[gflore34]

What the horsefeathers was that?  Who are these guys wearing Illini jerseys?

[gflore34]

And we're back seriously, though, if Illini can limit PSU to FG attempts on some of the drives they may have chance.
