Bold prediction:  the boo birds will be out Friday night in Baton Rouge.  I’m hearing a lot of “never did like Brian Kelly” since yesterday’s game.

[Derwood]

After the bye, Penn State faces OSU and IU in consecutive weeks. Can they lose by a combined 100 points or more?

[cwood218]

Napier fired by Florida.

Hopefully A&M can give those people more ammo to fire at BK. And for the record, I always thought he was a bad fit there. 

[Derwood]

Whoever the next PSU coach is, they have an insanely easy schedule next year. Three cupcake non-con's, with no Ohio State, Indiana or Oregon.

Including Indiana is totally justified, assuming Cignetti stays, but it’s still really weird seeing them included as a team that if you don’t play them, it makes your schedule easier.

[Derwood]

Any coach worth hiring (and who can quickly recoup the lost recruits) should win 10 games with this schedule with his eyes closed:

I see at least two more losses for LSU.  That contract is going to be Jimbo-like to escape from.

[Old Style]

We can only hope.

Watched A&M a few times, really like them, very good team, hoping with you.

Pick 6 within the first minute for the Hoosiers.

I think that game’s over

I love that UCLA kicked a sad FG to get it to 28-3 late in the first half and Cignetti was like "oh screw you" and sent IU right down to score a TD in about a second and a half.

Upset alert in South Carolina

lulz, nevermind. Cocks with a game-breaking fumble and Bama just scored with seconds to go

[Soul]

There goes Illinois out of the top 25.

Vandy is a thing.  I’m not sure how far they can take things but it’s cool to see them be good for a change.

[Old Style]

horsefeathers Mississippi State pulled a massive choke job against Texas. After the Sark to NFL rumors hit this morning I took the MSU moneyline. Looked golden for 3.5 quarters. horsefeathers mutts.

This board (and most of the country) will hate it but we are tracking towards a whole bunch of 10-2/9-3 SEC teams who will think they should be in the playoff

It's a bad year to be, from a purely hypothetical perspective, a 10-2 team from outside the main conferences that every metric says is really good but won't have the resume to back it up

And LSU won’t be in the conversation.  About to get their third loss with @Bama and @Oklahoma still left.  

[Old Style]

The first half was infuriating but the second half has been a blast. Suck that Aggie dick, bitch.

They’re chanting Kelly sucks in Tiger Stadium.  Fantastic.

[Old Style]

His security detail is thankful all the LSU fans have left the stadium already. 

[Old Style]

The LSU backup QB is named Van Buren. It’s a damn shame he isn’t wearing #8.

[I owned a Suzuki]

Michigan St is the dumbest team.  But a late score and they cover 2 weeks in a row.

Its going to be messy this year for sure. I think. I think there is going to be SEC school or ND who finishes 10-2 and does not make it

[Derwood]

Indiana held UCLA to 6 points. UCLA dumped 42 on Penn State. How fukcing bad is PSU?
