    this week could go a long way into defining the CFP narrative.

    Well we do have 14 undefeated teams going into this weekend. So theoretically they all have some shot at the CFP playoffs, but I doubt we have 14 undefeated teams come Sunday so that will have an impact.

    We will lose 2 contenders for sure with the outcome of the ND/Stanford and PSU/OSU games. West Virginia goes to Texas Tech so an upset is possible there and that would eliminate another undefeated.

    Not very well publicized, but another veteran Qb has been sent to the bench in Malik Rosier of Miami in favor of red shirt freshman Nick Perry.

    Perry is a very athletic QB, looked good in the first half for sure.

    Thanks Don, Perry played a great first half but dropped his cape and reverted back to a freshmen making his first start in the second half. I think Richt is slowly putting the pieces together as needed...

    I don’t know how to post a tweeted video but the end game handshake between Fedora & Richt was awkward as words were limited and it showed Richt smirking at Fedora as Fedora really didn’t want to shake or said something. Evidently last season Mark Richt accused Fedora of stealing signals so they probably aren’t exchanging Christmas cards..

    Now I know why Mr OConner laid so many points on Colorado in the contest! :D

    I watched some of the game and when I turned it off it looked like UCLA might win, they were leading 10-7 and Colorado wasn't looking great. I see that the Buffs found their offense and UCLA never did. UCLA QB had 3.9 yd per completion, that is awful and they totaled less than 300 total offense. That's why they lost.

    The UCLA QB is the kid whose dad went off on Kelly in social media, given his kids performance on the field maybe an apology is warranted to Coach Kelly.

    Chip Kelly wants that QB who just walked out of Clemson.

    Kind of a rainy day here in Houston, so lots of college football... I am going to start with Syracuse and Clemson!

    looking at the Bama game they are out fast and it looks like Tua will be done by halftime, even Mac Jones might get some snaps today.

    Clemson off to a slow start, but the Syracuse offense also looks like they are going to have trouble with Clemson defense. Not surprising

    Aggies and West Virginia also off to hot starts.

    So far Trevor Lawrence looks good not great and certainly not Tua great.

    Lawrence had a big hit and had to go to the Locker room. 'Cuse is up 16-7. I hope Trevor is ok, but if he's not and if little used Chase Brice has to bring them back ...upset alert.

    Also Kyler Murray will not start for OU vs Baylor, OU still should cruise and it's not clear if he's just not starting or will not play. No reason has been given, usually it's the catch all of violation of team rules.

    Alabama up 49-0 at half, Tua went to the bench in the 2nd qtr, bet Hurts only plays the 3rd qtr and then it's all Mac Jones.

    pucker pucker pucker..

    Clemson QB knocked out going into halftime. Didn't Syracuse beat them last year? Lost in the hyperbole of preseason rankings and the articles that subsequently justify them, is that until today Syracuse had never trailed in a game this season.

    So how good is the 'Cuse?

    Lawrence not coming back today, going to need to rely on the running game and defense to get back in this game. Oh to have Kelly Bryant ready to come in and save the day.

    Hurts got a standing ovation when he came in in the 1st qtr. Proceeded to make.several throws downfield and drove to a td.

    A&M can't shake a bad Arkansas team...hangover from Alabama?

    Clemson kid fumbled a punt inside the 10 and Syracuse went for it on 4th and 1 and now are up 10 23-10.

    Alabama must be down to 3rd string as they've stopped scoring .

    ohhhh...Cuse pulls off a great 4th down play only to be negated by a OL downfield....arrrrrrgh.

    Clemson going to win now, they got some running game going and Cuse looks tired on defense.

    Well Clemson gets the win, that 3rd string qb came up big when they needed him, made a great 4th down throw.

    I didn't watch the game but A&M hung on to beat the Piggies.

    Alabama...rolls.


    Next up the big game of the afternoon....Texas v Kansas State. We haven't won there since something like 2002. Our OCoord is in the hospital so who knows what this offense will look like.
