In True Razorback fashion.

BC is actually one of the better teams in the ACC this year. (Not that it’s saying much.). But, it’ll be interesting to see if Dabo and the boys have been slapped awake yet or not.

Way too close for Kstate. If they have Sklyer Thompson back then I'd say that close but that is likely a no I think

The Hogs may not score again this season against our schedule

That Cincy-Domer game out to be a good one, but I ain’t watching it. I wouldn’t know who to pick, but I’d NEVER piuck the Domers so I guess I’ll take Cincy and QA’s 7 points.

I’m thinking Baylor is the new Iowa State and I think they’ll beat the Oklie Dokies. They get found out about this time every year.

I agree LSU would love to ruin someone’s day and they prolly will. Auburn are the Aggies of Georgia.

I predict Lane Kiffin will say something stupid.

I get your point, but I’m pretty sure Auburn is in Alabama.

Why of course they are! I promoted them mistakenly.

I’ve been stewing on Hogs-Dogs. One thing that bothers me is Clempson. Clempson is Georgia’s signature win, and it was barely. Other than them Georgia has pretty much beaten up on Little Sisters of the Poor. Meanwile the win they hang theirhat on has been scuffling and losingto teams they shouldn’t. So……I don’t think it’s enough to call for an upset but it is kind of a trap game for Georgia. I think the Hogs play it REAL close. Dogs by 2.

I’m calling the Bearcats over the Domers. Damn, I love to see ND lose.

Had to run an errand and tuned into a sports radio channel that was talking about betting lines. More money has been bet on Arkansas today than any other team on the board.

I live about 70 miles east of Notre Dame. I’m working today and stopped at a gas station by I-80, which is the fast way to S. Bend from here, and I saw a lot of people going in an out with Cincinnati gear on so they may have a decent amount of fans there for them today.

I will never doubt you about the Hawgs again, QA.

After watching the last three Purdue games, don’t expect them to score more than 17 points against anyone. Their offense is pathetic. The defense is playing well but they aren’t good enough to shut everyone out which is what they need to do with that horrible offense they have.

It’s a tough year to be down in the Big 10 as there are a bunch of pretty good teams in there this year. I don’t know what to expect from the two teams I follow the most (NC State and VA Tech). They seem to show up for the big games and take lesser competition for granted.

All of this weirdness this year is a direct result of the transfer portal. The best thing for parity in 100 years. Thecbest thing for college football? That remains to be seen. I think there almost has to be a dark period during the season when the portal is closed.

Anyone that thinks college athletics is amateur sport probably thinks that OJ was innocent. It's all about money, and they are rapidly losing me as a fan. At the rate things are going I can see myself going dark on sports altogether in another couple of years. Right now I couldn't tell you the names and teams of more than 5 or 6 NFL players. Pretty much the same for the NBA and ZERO in MLB. Hockey and auto racing aren't even sports in my house, more like a waste of airspace

[BarryBobPosthole]

If they expand the playoffs to 8 they double the value, moneywise. Don’t think for a moment that a team headed for the playoffs won’t actively recruit players for the chance that an appearance in the FBS playoff might make the NIL money huge. The time in college football where agreat player might chose a smaller school are behind us.

[Chicken Dinner]

They still could. But, it certainly wold t be a good financial decision. At least not in the short term.
