Alabama closes to down 21-19 to FSU just before half after a weather delay(been a few of those today)



Alabama’s up 26-21 on FSU and very shortened half if that. Weather delay serves as the half.

Ole Miss wants this one bad. They're playing inspired. 10-0

Sidenote: The type of effort Rutgers put in against USC should be the norm, not unexpected or surprising. The effort was not there the 1st two weeks which made me so pissed off. I'm not mad at today.

Like an old coach told me, I don't give a fv*k if we lose as long as you give me every ounce of effort you've got and come off that field falling down exhausted. I'm not going to yell at you for that, rather put an arm around you.

OU up 7-3 on NM…NM has had some nice plays and designs that got guys open but qb and wrs not making the plays…I suppose partially a talent issue.

VT 13-7 on Maryland
FSU not going away…43-36 Alabama 7 mins left



It’s been a really crazy and fun Saturday of football.

Looking more like Clemson just sucks balls, rather than LSU being the #7 team in the country. Lane's cockiness after the Clemson win not looking so good right now. 17-0 Ole Miss. It's a complete a$$ kicking right now.

Looks like NM will fall short 14-6 or so..they had some chances but don’t have the offensive horses for a good defense like OU
WVU up 35-21 UVA
VT 35-20 on Maryland
Ole Miss 24-21 on LSU
UF 44-39 on Auburn

Ole Miss offense stares at the sideline, runs the play clock down to 3 seconds before snapping the ball, and Chambliss gets sacked by an unblocked blitzer for a 20 yard loss. Shades of Jerry Kill at RU.

Jason Eck is one helluva coach. Down 14-6 to Oklahoma his teams are tough. Too bad he'll probably be Wisconsin's next head coach and a pain in the a$$ for the next decade.
I liked some of the play designs and he got guys open and defense plays hard but he just doesn’t have the horses. He does probably about as well as you could expect. If he has a solid year this year then I think someone in the P4 will come calling.

Go Luke Fickell and Wisconsin lol.

Haha another offsides and just a little bit closer. Still would kick the XP but they got it.

Well that puts some pressure on LSU even if they get the TD. That took some guts from Golding. Different being gutsy when you have nothing to lose vs being gutsy with a lot to lose.

Sounds like Boise and UClA had some trouble with South Dakota and Purdue last night (they even had a lead for a bit) but eventually pulled out their games.

UCLA beat Purdue 52-38
Boise beat South Dakota 38-24

Might be an impactful game for the G6 playoff bid.









UGA seems to be flying under the radar for a team that’s highly ranked….dont hear them mentioned much but no big games yet either.

Some 60+ guys early in the season still showing they’ve got something left in the tank. Impressive to get Chiles to perform like that, especially the no TOs.


14. Rich Rod is back, baby. In the third game of the second season of his second West Virginia tenure, the Mountaineers took it to No. 25 Virginia, 38-27, in Charlotte. The key to his trademark zone-read offenses is the quarterback run, and Oklahoma transfer Michael Hawkins Jr. carried 18 times for 123 yards and three TDs. WVU’s other big offseason pickup, last year’s national rushing leader Cam Cook (Jacksonville State), carried 30 times for 123 yards. Basically, the 2026 version of those great Pat White-Steve Slaton rushing attacks circa 2005-07. West Virginia was easy to overlook coming off a 4-8 record last season, but this roster is a much better fit for Rodriguez’s style, which could make the Mountaineers a factor in the Big 12.

15. Guess who else has still got it? Chip Kelly. Northwestern’s new offensive coordinator made an immediate impact in the Wildcats’ 41-7 rout of Colorado. Often-maligned former Oregon State/Michigan State QB Aidan Chiles had the best night of his career, going 17-of-22 for 241 yards, three TDs and no picks, making the Buffs pay for four turnovers. On the other sideline, fourth-year Colorado coach Deion Sanders had an all-too-familiar line in his postgame news conference: “They did a better job coaching than we did.” It’s fortunate his team pulled off that last-minute 14-13 win over Georgia Tech in Week 1, or CU would be 1-2 heading into Big 12 play.



Also will add this here from the Wolken article a few posts above.

New Mexico's tough luck: For anyone who has studied Jason Eck's history against power conference opponents, it's no surprise the Lobos gave Oklahoma fits in a 14-6 loss. Eck has a tremendous knack for getting his teams to play over their heads in these situations. Still, it will be a bitter disappointment for New Mexico fans that they didn't get a fair shot to tie the game late. Driving deep in Oklahoma territory in the final few minutes, running back Kiefer Sibley sprinted toward the first-down marker on the right sideline on third-and-7 and looked like he stretched the ball very close to the line to gain before going out of bounds. But somehow, the officials marked him 2 yards short, infuriating the New Mexico sideline. It certainly seemed like the Lobos got a tough whistle there. In that situation, the difference between fourth-and-inches and fourth-and-2 is massive, especially for a big underdog against a top defense like Oklahoma. Give Oklahoma credit for stopping the fourth-down run and effectively ending the game, but it certainly felt like New Mexico was just one more first down away from making this game really interesting.
