Yeah, I was totally "you don't want to do that, walk away," but he didn't listen. I was expecting a flag.
If that was a block in the back, it was a really weak one. The irony isn't lost on me that a Bama fan is complaining about a missed call.

If you have to run a PR campaign over a team name, you've already lost.

Fine incoming....oh wait.
Suspension incoming....oh wait.
Finger waging incoming!
But seriously, Fuck Miami
Ole Miss honestly surprises me-I'd have thought them below Clemson.
He certainly isn't the guy that will lead them back to glory.

I'm so glad Tennessee didn't get him.
They have a lot of talent, but game day coaching is lacking. The cupboard won't be bare for his replacement.

Hey, it could be worse...
.. in that you could be CouldBeWorse, who is in last place after Week 1
You're pretty much dead center of the pack at the moment. Don't fret.

He had that kind of look late in the game.

I didn't see the game but last year he looked like he was going to have a heart attack.
Wearing a tie in the heat and sweating bullets whilst yelling from the sidelines, didn't look healthy.
Not worried. Florida St already had their Boston College game of the year last week and will be a well oiled machine by October 30th. Miami is just, again, a bad football team.

We'd already have the stats if we were using Yahoo.

Our historical refusal to use yahoo parallels the AP voters' inability to watch PAC 12 games.

The Pac-12 should play all their games in the eastern time zone, like civilized people. UCLA got up for a noon game in Virginia, why can't Stanford?
In fact, move the Oregon/Michigan State game to East Lansing.

More voters were probably awake for the ucf game in Ireland than the Washington game in Hawaii.
Hell, Tech's game this week isn't even in the Pacific time zone (UT El Paso is in the Mountain time zone) but it likely won't be over before midnight Central.
That Wazzu/Rutgers game screwed up my bio clock last week. Luckily it was the labor day weekend for me.
You guys could always move to the West Coast. That way you could actually live in a decent area AND you would have football at optimal times during the day.

Which would happen first:
All of CFB-GAF (and AP CFB writers) moving to the west coast or UCF getting invited to a power conference?
Trick question: the answer is neither!
They probably forgot about it and were listening to GameDay in the background while they ate breakfast.
1. CFB moving to the West Coast.
2. Meteor striking planet Earth.
3. Hockey returning to Atlanta.
999. UCF invited to a real conference.

Heard a rumor that UCF is moving to the ACC. They will be the replacement for Clemson & Florida State when they move to the Big 10.
1000. Rutgers isn't run like complete poop.
I heard that when Clemson and Florida State leave the ACC that the other members of the Big 5 determine that they're kicking the ACC out of the party. Sorry Citronauts.
Surely you mean the Big 12.
Nope, Myron Rolle got FSU into the AAU by himself.
New Divisions
B1G East
Michigan
Michigan State

I mean seriously, there was no way Stave wasn't hurt.

If they made the rec league flag football champion our starting QB, it would still be better than Case.

Yeah, swap Rutgers and Maryland for Nebraska and Wisconsin and I think it levels out.
I'm not sure Swoopes would start on UT's rec-league champion:
And he put up those numbers against tiny schools. Woof.

It's actually the biggest problem with B1G expansion. 15/16 really needs ND to even out the divisions, as the east is pretty stacked compared to the west even now. And any expansion eastward would just knock Indiana into the west.
Indiana
Northwestern
Illinois
Purdue
That's the problem. You can't have those four in the same division because they are a perennial shit heap and will be for all eternity. But geographically, you can't really separate them .
Ayup, let's say it went down like this (0 % of this happening domers so don't worry).
B1G East:
Pod A:
Ohio State
Michigan
Michigan State
Indiana
Pod B:
Penn State
Maryland
Rutgers
UConn
B1G West:
Pod A:
Notre Dame
Purdue
Illinois
Northwestern
Pod B:
Nebraska
Wisconsin
Iowa
Minnesota
Would even out the bad and good in the divisions (but not the pods).
