Stop me if you've heard this before: Week 8 of college football was very entertaining.
Between four top-10 teams going down across Friday and Saturday in Miami, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, and LSU, Diego Pavia proclaiming himself a Heisman Trophy candidate, Curt Cignetti becoming a meme, and both Lane Kiffin and Kirby Smart throwing friendly jabs at one another, we had ourselves some electric television to watch all weekend long.

The SEC has another top 25 matchup kicking off at Noon as The Sooners host the Lane Train. Sooners had a nice bounce back performance bottom tier South Carolina while Ole Miss ran out of offensive steam during the fourth quarter losing a shoot out to UGa. We shall see if Brent Venables learned anything from how UGa was able to stop Rebel QB Trinidad in the 4th qtr. Vegas has the Sooners a six point home favorite
A Group of Five game with potential playoff implications is USF Bulls hosting Memphis. USF is a six and hook home favorite
Who would have thought the featured 3:30 pm SEC game is the Robber Barons visting CoMo. Vanderbilt is coming off a defeat of LSU. Las Vegas sees this a neutral field pick em game as Missouri is the standard three point home favorite
The primetime window premier game is Death Valley hosting the Aggies. Hopefully LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier has mentally recovered from crying on the sideline losing to Vandy while Coach Kelly has taken his anger management medications. At the same time, LSU boosters have started a GoFundMe Kelly buyout fund. The Aggies after beating the Domers have been quietly having an undefeated season. Vegas has the Aggies as three point away favorites.
Wisconsin/Oreon-that’s it for me and I don’t think Wisconsin is that good.
I follow gbnreport.com. They keep us informed on who to watch. Then there’s lsufootball.net. They list all the games. The only detriment is they don’t put the power ranking of each team in their listing so if you want to see two top 20 teams face off you don’t know from one year to the next how good they’re doing.
College football higher-ups need to learn from the NFL. They need to schedule bigger games on Tuesday thru Thursday nights. James Madison at Texas State doesn’t cut it. Byes would make it more possible.
I said bigger games. Doesn’t have to be Mich-Ohio State or Alabama-Auburn where the whole state shuts down. There are plenty good enough games to move over during the week.
Ole Miss-I’ll watch for a half with an eye on Mississippi ‘linebacker’ Suntarine Perkins #4. 4.3 speed and only 210 lbs. Rushes the passer using only his speed/quickness.
Last year he was much better as several good teammates went to the NFL. He’ll redefine defenses in the NFL with is speed and quickness.
I’m a USC Trojans fan, and I am vehemently opposed to weekday games. They might not be so bad for schools like UCLA, where the stadium is located far from the campus, but at USC, which is adjacent to the stadium, the football crowds would disrupt classes and academic activities and make it difficult for students and faculty to find parking. Game traffic would also make it more difficult for commuters to get to their destinations.
A Group of Five game with potential playoff implications is USF Bulls hosting Memphis. USF is a six and hook home favorite
Boise State needs both teams to lose. Probably needs them to lose multiple games.
Separate note.
The prvious week, 8 ranked teams lsot which is the most I have seen.
Last week 9 teams lost.
What is the over/under on ranked teams losing this week? 6 ranked teams are playing each other so at 3 will lose.
No Buckeye game this weekend, damn!
Cool. I’m talking one game, 3 per week. There ought to be 3 towns in the country that could handle it or even games at a neutral field to where both teams can fly. It’s ratings. Might be 50 on a Saturday. What’s wrong with scheduling 3 of them where they’re on center stage?
