Army @ LSU is one of the more rare Saturday night games in October I can remember.

We get one 9:00 and two 10:30 starts at least.

MSU and UM at this point looks to be in cold, rainy weather -- at night.

Scary and Mizzou looks like fun!

3rd Saturday in October in the SEC...we know what that means...

Two of the Tuesday games are quite intriguing.

I'm sensing some weird things happening this week!!

I imagine Michigan is going to play angry after last year‘s thuggery

Army at LSU seems like one of those Homecoming games with a disinterested favorite. Are the players really going to be motivated to focus on stopping the option?
 
Army v LSU makes me hope there's something worthwhile on PPV Saturday night
 
Like a lot of correlated sides/totals at first glance:

Vols + under
Duke + under (depending upon Jordan Travis injury)
Penn State + under
Mizzou + over
Navy + under (depending upon AF QB injury)

LSU over is a must and Mizzou isn't far off

Yeah, Duke/under and Mizzou/over are good ideas.
 
Has Miami fired Cristobal or else this is quite the risky pick.
Clemson has owned Miami since 2010.

58-0 as -7.5 in 2015.
38-3 as -11 in 2018.
42-17 as -14 in 2020.
40-10 as -19 last year.

But it sets up like last year's Notre Dame. Clemson struggled with Syracuse (won 27-21 as -14, with Klubnik comng off the bench to lead a 4Q comeback from a 21-10 deficit), had an open date and then went to Notre Dame laying 4 points against a 5-3 team that it had beaten 34-10 two years before. Clemson was never in danger of losing to Wake two weeks ago week, but the situation is too similar for me to ignore.

I'll be pulling for Clemson, but I just don't see it happening.

I really think Miami has its best version of a QB since their national championship season in 2001/02 w/Dorsey. Very much looking forward to that game, Clemson defense v Miami offense is what I'm looking forward to most in CFB this weekend.

Solid reasoning but I will never be betting on Miami again with this clown as coach.

Considering who they've had at QB since Dorsey you are probably right but Van Dyke isn't good at all.
 
Pitt is 2-4. There is no bad situation for them. They need every win they can get and will be very focused on this game.
Unfortunately Wake is off 3 straight losses, and both coaches have some really good numbers for certain aspects of their respective situations.
 
Looks like pitt made qb change after the bye, for whatever reason the griffs kid didn’t finish last game, no clue if he got hurt or they just couldn’t take watching him play qb any longer? So 2 guys who were backing up a couple the worst qbs in power 5 I had seen this year going at it? No freaking clue.
 
Pitt Offense looked better last week, but that’s not saying much. They have a really tough stretch of games coming up, including ND, FSU and Duke. Need to take care of business against lesser teams like WF. I trust their running game and defense to get it done. I think losing to VTech was rock bottom and they will make a surge. Anything can happen of course but I’ll be riding Pitt this week heavily.

Under!
 
Heard on local sports radio this morning that Riley Leonard has been practicing and looking good and if he keeps it up the next couple of days, he will be cleared to play against FSU. Guess we will know for sure if the line drops so take it for what you will..
 
Cool move by LSU this weekend for Army game.

View attachment 78561
I actually saw someone bitch about the camo pattern saying Army hasn’t used that pattern in years. I agree with you.


I actually talked to BAR about LSU’s choice of uniform. I haven’t confirmed this but I would assume LSU wears traditional home whites(is Penn St like this as well? I was wondering…LSU wears their traditional whites so much because on SEc road games they wear white again)

Anyway this is the first time a service academy is visiting Tiger Stadium ever. Never knew that.
I wouldn’t think LSU would want some alternative uniform…gotta take pictures!!
Should be a great atmosphere and a great one to take kids to.

I watched all of the Wake/VT game. I don't remember if it was the 2nd or 3rd Wake drive that they brought in the #2 guy. He played the rest of the game. I did not see an injury to Griffs and it looked like they were just benching him.

Southern Miss administrators thought it was a good idea to put up the billboards in Mobile, where USA is located.

The one on the right is pretty bad. Wommack thought so, at least.
