"You mean we get paid for this?" NCAA football 2024-25

I guess Florida State thought since they were playing in Ireland that it was a bowl game and they did not need to go.

I was surprised that Georgia Tech won that one.

Georgia has not fell off it seems. What I watched, Clemsons offense could not do bupkus. D played ok in first half but it looks pretty obvious they ran out of gas against the Bulldogs. Whooping.

ND and A&M could be interesting match up.

wow notre dame

(despite some extremely questionable late-game officiating in their favor)

reigning SI sportsman of the year coach prime making nebraska (!) look good

I was called names for saying Riley Leonard looked like Tyler Buchner against TAMU. That 15 yard underthrow INT looked like high school (and it likely cost us the game of course).

I did not particularly enjoy the week when it seemed he could stumble us to the CFP with an eye black crucifix on his face.

looool florida state

ninth pre-season top-10 team since 1950 to start 0-3

Lol at FSU and the Gators.

This Michigan and USC game has been really good.

That was a heck of a game, best football game yet this season.

Last year, I think the Oregon/Washington 2nd game was the best.

james madison put up some remarkable numbers at north carolina (53 first-half points, among other things)

Their old coach took over Indiana and they have dropped 200+ points in their first 4 games, albeit though lesser teams.

Lol Roll tide…

southern cal got thoroughly jobbed in overtime vs penn state

congrats to big 10 powerhouse oregon

pitt 6-0 for the first time since 1982

army and navy both now ranked

this has been your early monday morning ncaa football roundup

florida state now 1-6, still has games at miami and notre dame

IU whomped up on the Cornhuskers. James Madison is even a bit more impressive when you consider Cignetti brought 14 players with him to Indiana.

Hopefully the QBs injury is not that bad. He can toss it pretty good.

Don’t know if anyone else saw them but I thought the retro uniforms the Illini were wearing against Michigan were pretty cool.

They had the helmet painted to look like an old leather helmet.

They got good colors too, that was the reason Papa Bear brought them with him to the bears.

I am interested in watching a Thursday game between Syracuse and Pitt. This season is sick.

one of the most important ongoing developments in america...

ohio state looks like by far the best team to me this year, but their QB isn't a stud so maybe they can be gotten. i'm looking forward to the playoff

Norvell's $64 million buyout leaching significant money away from Republican campaigns

i think even if they could afford to fire him they wouldn't because after last season the fanbase is too invested in him being the savior. they will have no choice to hit the portal hard again to be competitive bcuz their roster just isn't good, and that might work. but if it doesn't then i'll be very interested to see what happens

in spite of messy officiating, fans throwing bottles on the field, dropped balls, and interceptions, UGA/Texas was a lot of fun to watch

xp They improved each year under Norvell until this season, so he probably is a good coach. Their portal ranking has been fairly consistent, but it seems (at a glance) they took more proven players in '23 compared to '24 - more guys with T ranking > HS ranking.

Miami have been extremely entertaining this year. Every close game has at least one controversial late call. This most recent one with Louisville was clearly not a fumble, though. The hit on Fernando Mendoza was the definition of targeting, however. Cal were also screwed by the refs in South Bend two years ago, so I feel quite badly for them.

i definitely think norvell is a good coach, but he's at a school where they expect you to be better than just good. there's still a lot of evidence that you need to recruit HS at a really high level to compete for a national title, regardless of how well you portal, and norvell has never recruited high school well at FSU, even last year. recruiting people have been calling this out for years but he was able to paper over it w/ great portal additions covering the last two seasons. this year they struck out and there is no base talent level to fall back on and the result is the worst season in school history basically. i think his issue is that he's at a job that expects consistent excellence, but in order to be consistently excellent you very likely cannot be relying on the portal bringing in half your starting line up every season

This most recent one with Louisville was clearly not a fumble, though.

(as a miami fan) the thing that was annoying about this is that, in reality, a call wasn't even made. that was standard practice in these exact situations now -- the refs "call" it a touchdown bcuz the rules still stipulate that a call has to be made on the field, but in reality the refs are doing nothing and just waiting to consult the video. the call was always the correct one, which was an incomplete pass. nothing was actually "overturned"

yes, I agree they would have ruled it an incomplete pass in the moment if video review weren't an option.

I know it's been said, but ESPN's FPI rankings are insane

1. Ohio State (5-1, loss at #8)
2. Texas (6-1, loss to #4)
3. Alabama (5-2, loss at #6, loss at #42)
4. Georgia (6-1, loss at #3)
5. Ole Miss (5-2, loss to #41, loss at #12)
6. Tennessee (6-1, loss at #31)
7. Notre Dame (6-1, loss to #83)
8. Oregon (7-0, beat #1)
9. Penn State (6-0)
10. Miami (7-0)
11. IU (7-0)
12. LSU (6-1, beat #5)
13. Clemson (6-1, loss to #4)
14. TAMU (6-1)
15. USC (3-4)
...
19. Iowa State (7-0)
...
30. BYU (7-0)

i honestly love it

i think georgia and ohio state are still on a different level than anyone else in terms of talent and physical attributes of their players. but their QBs are not that great, or in the case of beck haven't been playing that great. teams like miami and oregon have lesser overall talent but still enough talent to beat them when combined w/ superior QB play. having to beat both ohio state and georgia would be tough for any team though.

I am interested in watching a Thursday game between Syracuse and Pitt. This season is sick.

for surprising reasons, this was indeed an interesting game

worried that florida state might cover the 21.5-point spread

but not that worried

lol

duke actually hung with miami for 45 minutes and then . . . the smushing

yikes pitt

That new run punt option that Boise State is running with the Australian rules football guy is very fun. I hope that catches on.

This is the guy.

god bless florida state (1-9) coach mike norvell for firing both of his coordinators after a 49-point loss #accountability

The Seminoles rank last among 134 FBS teams in scoring with 13.3 points per game and are 101st in scoring defense, surrendering 29.8 points per game.

After flirting with Alabama's vacancy once Nick Saban retired in January, Norvell agreed to a 10-year extension at Florida State that will pay him more than $84 million through the 2031 season.

do we believe in indiana y/n

I believe whatever Google tells me

love indiana and hope they succeed but their performance vs michigan doesn’t make me think much of their protection or run blocking. the osu dl might eat em up.

rourke is legit tho, ball placement is nearly perfect

Broncos and Gibson guitars

Oregon is getting smoked in this game but not reflecting on the scoreboard

Oregon lost their offensive coordinator, Will Stein, to Kentucky where he took the head coach job. Kentucky is currently killing 'Bama.

Oregon goes down and wasn't even close.

Game was delayed because of rain. Started off on ESPN, then to ESPN2 and then moved to ESPNews.

Dropped

Cost Texas 4

20 - 3, not over but close

This game is crazy

Hollywood!

What a game

not certain how i feel about this

i mean i hate both teams but there's also the ted cruz factor (not that ohio's politicians are any better, but they didn't get 10-minute segements on gameday)

also the manning factor

also texas is bad but austin is good

so fraught

In order to be pleased about a Texas v OSU outcome I find it necessary to concentrate on the team that lost and how its fans feel about it.

good advice

Sark, the same in success or failure

florida state looks . . . good?

Kentucky did the damn thing against Texas A&M, was not expecting such a dominant performance

xp spoke too soon

but putting up 36 points in tuscaloosa is still decent

you love to see it

what a game

Iowa wins on the last play of the game. Wouldn't had a chance if not for a Michigan player being injured.

On Wisconsin

USC has been playing well against the Ducks

I'm idly wondering if the guy in the Duck mascot costume gets any kind of NIL money and if he had to join SAG to play in all those ads where the Duck mascot shows up.

usc sideline reaction to taking Moore out was gross. I'm glad those players lost.

firing james franklin doesn't seem to have fixed penn state

although james franklin himself is currently losing at home to pitt

underestimated pitt's ability give up 434 passing yards but then va tech missed a game-winning 36yd fg as time expired lol

penn state still getting housed

Northwestern looked pretty good against IU. That QB is fast and ellusive.

wau florida got smoked

Georgia v Alabama is a barn burner

They pick it up

Or never threw it, wow

Ball comes out

Ohio v Indiana ends crazy

Georgia who are ranked #2 is on the ropes

#1 against a unranked team

Alabama goes down too

Notre Dame goes down too

mormons > papists

also good lord the SEC is a meat grinder

The fix was in. All byu had to do was shake the bed.

(PI our receiver)

That fsu holding call is awful

rice had 499 rushing yards and lost

BYU V UCF is absolute madness. 2OT

BYU folks complaining about clock mismanagement...

U-C-L-A

that BYU loss is looking even worse now (UCF is being blown out at home by baylor, which just fired its coach)

meh Vegas felt differently about that ucf game. College football is crazy.
