Top 10 Tennesee is currently losing to Appalachian State. Something about this seems familiar...

I've missed you, football.

Shush, you shut your goddamn mouth I need this.

Edit: Musberger has been openly rooting against App State. All three close calls he said should have gone to Tennessee, and now he's taking about "the weight of expectations" when an underdog is hanging around.

Edit 2: siiiiiigh

I understand football better than Appalachian State's head coach.

Well i almost got to be happy tonight

If you want to remember better times for Appalachian State:

Youre the worst devil on the planet.

With it being 9 years to the day from...THAT, and Tennessee's OC tonight was our OC back then I was hoping it would all wrap up nicely. Fuck Mike DeBord. Go Blue

Anyway...I could not be more excited to start a new college football season. I don't remember a previous week 1 with as many interesting match ups:

Oklahoma @ Houston
LSU vs Wisconsin @ Lambeau
USC @ Bama
UGA @ UNC
Clemson @ Auburn
Notre Dame @ Texas
Ole Miss @ Florida State

That's just crazy.

Houston with the Kick-Six against Oklahoma!

That was incredible. It is not possible to have a longer return in football

Oh my god. Mississippi State.

77-10.

BGSU shouldn't have even been in the same state as TOSU.

Good half Badgers, don't blow it

EDIT - They hold on!

Aggies freakin' hold for the win in overtime. Should have NEVER been in overtime, but they stopped playing the regular game with 8 minutes left in regulation.

Aggie 31 - ucla 24.

LSU had two good series, and that was their entire game. I know many Tiggers fans that are very unhappy with the team, and they want to kick the OL player off the team for the stupid cheap shot.

BUCKY!!!!

And as for the alma mater: 65 wins in our last 70 games.

(P.S. - @Celt Z, where the heck is TCNJ?)

Meanwhile, good ol' Wazzu proves yet again that it doesn't matter how flashy your offense is, if you don't have a defense, you're fucked. We're now 0-4 in season openers under Mike Leach, and have lost one of those season openers to Eastern Washington, and one to Portland State. Next week we get to go to Boise and play Boise State - the biggest little P5 killer of them all. Frankly, if the defense isn't out running lines on the field right now, for the whole day, and spending all day tomorrow working on tackling fundamentals, we need to fire our DC.

Whoops, my bad - that's 0-5.

This true freshman Texas has at qb looks legit. Hits his receivers in stride, and if not for drops, he'd have even more TDs.

This Texas-Notre Dame game...what the fuck?

Pretty decent game so far. And since I hate ND I hope Texas can punch it in in this 2nd OT.[DOUBLEPOST=1473046965,1473046809][/DOUBLEPOST]And there it is.

I'd say I need to lay down after that but i already was.

LOL ND

NJ didn't have a state university, so they renamed Trenton State to The College of New Jersey. It is a pretty dumb switch. (Also, I believe Rutgers laughed at them when the approached with the suggestion.)

Gotcha. We've played 'em twice and beaten them both times, it appears.

This week has been has horrible as last week was amazing. Blerg.

Northwestern is an embarrassment to football
Georgia is...lol
At least the end of the Central Michigan/OK State was amazing!

EDIT: Les Miles is legit losing his job this year. He's in serious IDGAF mode

The Alma Mater was down 13-7 to Bellhaven College with about 12 minutes to go in the first half.

The Warhawks promptly blocked the extra point, and:

* kicked a 43-yard field goal to make it 13-10;
* scored on three TD runs by Drew Patterson (the first a 54-yarder);
* returned a Pick 6;
* scored on two TD's by Cam Maly in 71 seconds; and
* topped it off with a Ronny Ponick TD run with just under 6 minutes to go to make it 59-13.

52 unanswered points. 59-13 final.

Whitewater is the Alabama of Division III.

I approve of the new direction towards SEC coverage

North Dakota St 23 - Iowa 21 on a game winning FG.

Required check on @Dave ...Dave? You ok buddy?

I don't understand why teams schedule NDSU. They're an FCS team that will kick your ass.

Go to get a flat tire fixed. Nope. Need a new one. Guess we'l wait until payday. Get in my car to come home. Won't start. Finally make it home to watch the Iowa game. They lose.

Now I'm afraid to leave the house.

I'm fine. It's just a football game. I love it when they win but I'm not the type who wraps everything up in the actions of college kids.

The pictures on Monday will be Dak Prescott sitting on the sidelines with Romo, both wrapped like mummies.

Two TDs today got called as such even though the runner dropped the ball on the 1 as he was entering the endzone (the other was in the the osu/oklahoma game...although it hardly seemed to help OU). This is getting ridiculous. It was actually the third in two weeks; Clemson did it last week bit that one actually got called back correctly.

Pac12 refs are, arguably, the worst refs in all of NCAA football, as a group. Every year at the end of the season there's a bunch of outcry from all of the member schools' fans (and coaches, and occasionally ADs) to the conference commissioner to do something about our refs, and every year they continue to suck horribly. They are the NFL replacement refs of college football. That being said, at least they haven't given anyone a free play so far this season. So far.

Dang, @DarkAudit, ESPN gives you guys no love

Well, somebody has to win the Big12 this year.

Mizzou scheduled a bad FCS team in Delaware State, and it wasn't pretty. We beat them 58-0.

Wait, whats that?

Its halftime?

Oh...

Alma mater "outlasted" an NAIA opponent (Morningside, IA), 35-21. Truth is, with the exception of missed coverage late in the 3rd, this one wouldn't even have been that close.

Scoreboard. You have a great chance to take it to OSU in two weeks, please do.

I can't comment on how his departure was received there, but if you read about any of the behind the scenes stuff that lead up to it, you might be a little more upset at the university itself ( if you are so inclined, Three and Out by John U Bacon touches on it a bit before it gets into RRod's time in Michigan).

But if you want to hate the native son forever for bolting, I won't begrudge you that. I think it was a crime the way the Michigan fan base treated him so I still root for him to have success in Arizona.

...and you shit the bed against Pitt because Pat White got hurt and for some reason Rich Rod can only have one good QB at a time We had the same issue here with Denard.

Ah the 2007 "what could've been" national championship game.

I saw an article the other day in one of the local newspapers that mentioned many of my fellow SC Gamecock fans had thought that we would be in competition of an SEC East title this year. I'm sorry, but what team were they looking at? Taking a 3-9 team and simply hiring Wil Muschamp is not going to make them that much better. We still have the majority of the players we did last year. We have a couple of good QBs, one of which is a freshman with a lot of potential if we can recruit enough talent for him to shine. I believe Muschamp can probably do that, but it will take several years for us to get to the point where we would seriously contend for a title.

With the schedule we have, we'll be lucky to win 5 games this year. Becoming bowl eligible would take a miracle. We'd have to win four out of Georgia, UMass, Tennessee, Missouri, Florida, Western Carolina, and Clemson.

Good lord did the Aggies have to drag that game out like that? Basically 4 hours, 45 minutes from kickoff to final. They had the game won in the first half, then came out from halftime not playing to win, but playing not to lose. If they had continued as they did in the first half the game would never have gotten to the "pixie dust" commentary.

Or if the kicker kicked the first time as good as he did in overtime, there wouldn't have been an overtime, much less double OT.

South Carolina beat Tennessee? How? Don't get me wrong, I'm a Gamecock fan, but this is the same team that needed a last second field goal to beat Vanderbilt.

Still undefeated. Whomped Eau Claire this weekend, 48-6.

pffffffffff. What I heard was that they asked Hurd to move to LB, and he politely told them to fuck off and decided to transfer elsewhere to continue playing offense.

This dumb team isn't good enough to feel bad about getting blown up. They flew by the seat of their pants way too many games in a row.

I went to the local college football game this weekend.

Each time the other team had the ball, a lady behind us started chanting...

*clap, *clap DEFENSE! *clap, *clap DEFENSE! *clap, *clap DEFENSE!

But in my head it sounded as though she was chanting...

*clap, *clap DEEZ NUTS! *clap, *clap DEEZ NUTS! *clap, *clap DEEZ NUTS!

9-0, clinched a D3 playoff berth, WIAC champs for the 30th time... yep.

Congratulations on your bowl eligibility. You guys have a very nice stadium. Go Blue.

I hate that pictures flip when posted from mobile

Damnit, Iowa, stop doing things that make it hard for me to hate you! Family honor is on the line here, I can't cheer for you.

...and Michigan doesn't drop at all, which is 100% the correct call considering who all else lost this weekend. Clemson's loss at home to Pitt was worse than Michigan's road loss to Iowa, and the committee was clearly just looking for any excuse to keep Washington out of the top 4 considering their overall schedule. And they didn't bite on the notion of the AP and coaches polls that Louisville should be ahead of Clemson since Clemson won head to head. The correct top 4 is set right now:

1)Bama 2)OSU 3) Michigan 4) Clemson

...everything will shake out in the next two weeks but right now, this is correct. My only gripe is Western Michigan still being 21 despite being undefeated. Their schedule matches up enough with the likes of Boise this year, they should be at least 15...

And the journey back to Salem, Virginia begins against Lakeland College.

10-0, and this time the NCAA wised up and put us in opposite sides of the bracket from Mount Union.

11-0 clinched the conference and should have a first round bye, and home games throughout the rest of the playoffs.

For some reason the #1 team in the nation gets the #5 seed in the playoffs. So we only get a bye and one home game.

One down.

Lakeland College bit the dust, 45-27.

Next up: Wittenberg. Last time we played them, we beat them 31-13 on the way to winning our 1st ever Stagg Bowl.

So in the season of "Hopes Deleted" we finish out by beating Arkansas after being down 24-7 at the half.

Sports are weird.

Um...WOW Cincinnati

*ahem*

GO HAWKEYES! HUCK THE FUSKERS!

Dear gods, we were completely outclassed by the Huskies. Apparently the coach's speech about how soft our players were was only good for 8 wins, and we used them all in a row.

Thst was the fairest called game I'd ever seen. Not even counting the last first down in 2OT that OSU was given for no reason, OSU had 2 penalties called on them for a whole 6 yards.

If anyone needs me, I'll be breaking things with a hammer for the rest of the night

Yeah, OSU got a lot of calls and Michigan got absolutely none. They got royally fucked by the refs.

I'm in full "watch the world burn" mode. Go MSU, Wisconsin, Auburn, Florida, South Carolina, Va Tech, USC, Colorado. I want every team to have 2 losses so we can finally stop this 4 team charade and make it an 8 team playoff like it always should have been.

It never made sense to have a 4 team playoff when you're already declaring a "power 5" of conferences. You're guaranteeing at least one conference champ gets left out; two if you decide the "Holy SEC" deserves 2 or if ND puts together a good season again.

Boy, this USC v. ND game is getting ugly.

Wisconsin-Whitewater 37, Wittenberg 9.

Next victim opponent: John Carroll College of Ohio, in the NCAA Division III Quarterfinals.

Be careful. They just beat Mount Union.

That didn't stop MTU from defeating Johns Hopkins University in their playoff game, 28-21, on the other side of the bracket.

That was also the last game of the season for the Purple Raiders. That's classic "letdown" material.

South Carolina vs Clemson is over at the half, but they decided to go ahead and play the rest of it anyway. I guess Clemson wanted to see how many points they could score.

Theres one.

Because they lost the Russell Athletic Bowl? Dude, your team lost the moment they PLAYED in the Russell Athletic Bowl.

Hey, at least WVU played in their bowl game. My team gave up on their season with two games left and didn't even bother to show up for their bowl game - because they have no heart or desire to work hard enough to win, according to their star receiver and their coach. It will be interesting to see if the Huskies stand any chance against Alabama in a couple hours, or if the entire Pac 12 really is weak.

I am watching the National Championship game and as an alumni of an SEC school, I don't like Alabama and so want them to lose. However, I went to South Carolina and so I really don't want Clemson to win. Not only are they our rivals and beat us badly this year, but there are a lot of insufferable fans around that I'd hear from all year.
