Welcome to the final season of college football where Oregon/Rutgers isn't a conference game!   

Today we've got:

• ND/Navy in Ireland because sure
• SJSU/USC to begin the likely PAC-12 retirement tour
• "Oh yeah, Jacksonville State is in CUSA now"
• and other games that can be described as 

[Gemini]

I'm just happy college football is back.

Also, Notre Dame is currently destroying Navy from Dublin. Good Lord!

[scoobdog]

I feel better than I expected.

[Heshi]

I'm more or less equidistant from the University of Tennessee and Virginia Tech... So I failed at picking just one team to pull for...

[Seight]

They moved the Arkansas game back from 3 PM to Noon in the interest of player and fan safety and also because this is one of the SEC games on ESPN+ instead of actual TV this week so really who gives a shit

[Gemini]

The University of Houston is wearing a special alternate uniform this Saturday in a continued attempt to link it with the City of Houston itself.

Looks like they ripped off the old Houston Oilers unis, which kind of takes away from it.

Not ripped off; inspired by them.

[Seight]

So uh, I saw that UAB's QB last night completed 38 out of 41 pass attempts.

Is that good? That sounds good.

The Pac-12 after Stanford, Cal, and SMU^* are admitted to the ACC:

*SMU was one of the teams the Pac-12 was trying to save themselves with earlier

FTFY

Not sure what's going on with SMU, Big XII and Big 10 shot them down when they asked to join and not be paid for 7 years

Wonder if it's the death penalty blemish?

In other news, the remaining teams in the Pac-2 are now financially set if they inherit every other schools' earnings

[Seight]

I'm honestly impressed that Colorado used the Internet shitposting about them all off-season as actual fuel with which to beat TCU.

[Seight]

LSU and Clemson have both pulled off the dreaded "Damn guys, you good?" type of losses.

Really? Deion came in with a lot of noise, and then brought like half of the roster from his old school with him and his kids.

I don't see Clemson staying relevant 

Dabo is a good coach, but his absolute refusal to use the transfer portal is going to continue to hurt his program

[scoobdog]

I think Dabo's biggest problem is his own arrogance rather than his refusal to use the portal.  The guy just seems to rub people the wrong way.

[Seight]

"But really, how did-"

*find out after I made that post this morning that Dabo hired Chad Morris as an offensive assistant during the off-season*

I want everyone to know that earlier today I said "Nebraska/Colorado would've been a good nonconference game back when it was a conference game."

And now, a review of the Kent State/Arkansas game:

 

[Seight]

We regret to inform you that Texas might actually be back, and not just in the "Texas Is Back."-meme way.

[scoobdog]

I’ll bet Stanford is happy for these 10:30 EDT kickoffs.

Congratulations to Jay Norvell for making this go from "This could be a hard-fought rivalry game" to "OH GOD BUFFS BY AT LEAST 30"

Did not expect this Georgia/South Carolina game to be this good

[Seight]

North Dakota State beat Central Arkansas, which I am only bringing up because the last time these two teams played, San Francisco was so impressed that they traded up to draft Trey Lance.

Same. I honestly thought that USF had a chance to pull the upset for a little while. But then I remembered that the Bulls were playing Alabama. lol

Both teams looked terrible, so it was hard to see either winning that game.

Let's not forget....

 

Wyoming had the Longhorns by the short hairs up until the 4th quarter, and boston college YOOOO.... almost

Oregon State is looking decent.  Haven’t had a chance to see Wazzu yet.

Fair, but ties haven't been a thing in college football since the mid-'90s. lol

[Gemini]

Colorado State @ Colorado is in second OT. Colorado currently leads 43-35.

sense of foreboding about how the conference season is going to go now MY BELOVED

So many broken blenders sunglesses.

It never ceases to amaze me how people don't see that Deion has always been self hype....Not saying he's a bad coach, but Geion is here for Deion....If you get some Ws in his wake, cool....But he got his check and that's all he cares about....Hell, he has a song stating this very fact and this mfer can't sing.

Meanwhile my mood is "I don't like losing in the last seconds but its better than if they died horrendously so there's that"

If that's about Notre Dame, I agree. (And the Irish only had ten men on the field the last two plays of the game, too.)

I don't disagree. At the same time, it was a hell of a game. Reminded me of Super Bowl XLII in some ways, especially the score.

USC humbles Deion's Buffs.

Not that I wanna see Deion fail, but I want to know how that bandwagon is doing.... especially from people who ONLY wanted him there to win.

[Seight]

I do not doompost about games where somebody gets seriously injured, because it's a slippery slope between being that kind of fan and becoming the kind that goes "Hey, what if I set the starting QB's truck on fire?"

Spoiler

Which is an actual thing that has happened in the history of Arkansas Razorbacks football, btw.

He didn’t sound too humbled, and we all know it’s really about him.

[André Toulon]

I said the buffalos were humbled...Dieon got his check, he don't gaf.
