If minny has a quarterback instead of this thing masquerading as a quarterback known as Mitch Leidner.. I really think they could have won last night. They have now shown me that they are a dark horse to win the division.

I don't even care about the rest of the games this weekend. Let's go back to the off season.
Ole Miss bowl win hype. They lost a ton of defensive starters though. They'll be good but not playoff good.
Controversy already!
Wouldn't have happened if we'd used ESPN.
SCAR won by 4 so they covered and TCU won by less than 19.5 so they didn't cover. No controversy here. Maybe I'm misreading it, this cover stuff is new to me.
Fulmer Cup champs woohoo!
Dammit you're right, I keep flipping things under this new system.
I agree with somebody else in the thread earlier that said we should change the phrasing from "Cover" and "No cover" to something else more obvious.

"Meyer said he met with both QBs on Wednesday to let them know who was ahead, but he won't name a starter until Saturday."
Everything was written in terms of the favorite, so I thought that was pretty clear. Some lines go by home team, some by away.
I guess you could state the team you think would win if the line were factored in, but that's really the same thing.
Upshot: turns out very few of us are degenerate gamblers.
These were your picks. South Carolina beat UNC by 4, so they COVERED (i.e., they beat UNC by more than 3.5 points). TCU only beat Minnesota by 6 points, so they were a NO COVER (they did not beat Minnesota by more than 19.5 points).
Edit: beaten on the explanation.
I gave examples in the OP.

I know, I fully admit that it's just me mixing things up all on my own. Combination of re-reading my picks and not seeing the word "NO" and accidentally setting my guess based on the underdog, not the favorite. Just rushing too much when putting the picks in, I think.
Do you want me to flip your other picks?

so did anyone else see Colorado getting screwed by the refs?

I would be mad. Not similar but reminds me of that game Wisconsin lost cause the opposing player laid on the ball for like 8 seconds while he acted like the QB setting the ball down for the ref was a fumble.
Don't care... I posted the only "revenge" game of his I do care about. Was that or was that not a revenge game I linked to? Did he or did he not get his ass kicked in that game?
Never thought I'd hear from Laura Alaina again, especially not in an EDM song on an ESPN commercial.

He also has South Carolina coming out of the sec east based on the dumpster fire he witnessed last night.
I think Baylor is the team to beat.
I liked a lot of what I saw from OSU last night (in spite of the score), but the running game was underwhelming.

Yeah, what a tough situation Urban was in that year, what with having a roster of players entirely recruited by his predecessor and with none of his own players.
Well I don't want to say I told you so, but this is what I was talking about. The coaches have likely known all week but they wanted the QB's to keep trying to outwork each other so they're letting the QB's know when they head to the hotel. I'd have done it earlier, but I'm not Corch.
They were his recruits, no? And yeah, that cupboard was bare. Still is, but that's Agent Muschamp's responsibility.

Oh hey, not sure if it was ever announced, but Rutger's won the Fulmer Cup

Cam Newton got kicked off the team, then you had Rainey, Hernandez, Spikes, etc. Lot of talented players there, actually.
RB, Elijah Holyfield (son of Evander Holyfield), committed to UGA today over Bama, Auburn, and tOSU. This had been expected, but still good news. Strong kid around Chubb's size, don't know if he's as strong as Chubb yet but we'll see what he does in his last season of HS. He's the #1 RB in GA and was their #1 target, so nice that they got him.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'm kinda double happy.
A) While I am not a big fan of playing Thur doing it for the opener and looking good means I can watch all the games these weekend with no worries about my team
B) Made a conscious decision this year to sit out all of the extracurricular stuff. No pickems or fantasy teams mean I can watch when I want to with no extra bullshit
Now onto the weekend slate of games.

What am I forgetting about Auburn that they got so many points?

Like the Olympic torch. The Eternal Dumpster Fire.
His stat line was still pretty good. They kept making mistakes in or near the red zone. Their offense is too loaded for him to not put up really good numbers.
