Wake wins 24-18.  UNC had the ball and was driving at the end, but they just ran out of time.

Well, they had one second left that never got reviewed.

No, they didn't. He didn't get out of bounds. This is not how football timing works. I was screaming at the television when the announcers were making their foolish interpretations.

[DINGO Joe]

and Kansas is up 28-24 at halftime....

It would be funny if Kansas won.  Everybody picked BC.

Let the hilarity begin.

How is that different from when Saban got one second added back right before the Kick Six?

Alabama was going forward out of bounds. That's a huge difference. The clock doesn't stop if you are going towards your own end zone. Plus the television head rationale is that stopping forward momentum means the player cannot be ruled out of bounds, which I imagine is the same concept (except with contact by the defense).

Kansas has such a beautiful schedule that they have a very reasonable chance at six wins given the home/road conference split.

On the contrary, Washington State has a very bad looking schedule. Might barely cover tonight in a nearly unwatchable game, and I feel bad for D'eriq King who lacks any support out there. I would not be optimistic about them winning more than one Pac-12 road game to get to a more ordinary 8-4 season. The defense has a lot of growing to do.

The refs did make a minor error in the UNC game but it really didn't matter. Before the runner stepped out of bounds, the referee signaled that his forward progress was stopped and the play was dead. They should have stopped the clock to move the chains for the first down, but the ref failed to signal to the game clock operator to stop the clock, allowing it to expire.

However, they signaled that forward progress was stopped with two seconds left in the game. Under the 3-second spike rule, you cannot stop the clock by spiking the ball with less than three seconds left, so UNC would've had to get everyone lined up and call a play before the chains are moved and the ref spots the ball, then snap it with exactly one second on the clock. They're definitely not getting that play off, so your outcome is functionally the same.

Last night's results: sjoyce, Green Line, Sprouts, and I went 1-1.  Everybody else was 0-2.

[GeorgiaModerate]

At the half, The Citadel (which lost to Towson and Elon in previous weeks) leads Georgia Tech 14-6.

Temple ruins everything

Temple ruins everything

Either their defense is very good, or Maryland's offense is very bad.

[GeorgiaModerate]

The Citadel beats Georgia Tech in OT!

Also, Colorado and Air Force are now in OT.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Colorado lost in OT....not a good day for my pick em

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

The ACC has surpassed my expectations for level of embarrassment that it could achieve. Entering last week, I had just three outside my "Top 65" representing the top half of FBS. Florida State joined last week. Virginia Tech and Boston College joined last night (VT solidifying their spot today) and NC State joined today making half of the ACC not in the top half of the FBS imo.

The good half includes Syracuse and Miami for goodness sake! Yikes!

Didn't hurt you.  Everybody picked Colorado.

Without Clemson, they'd be below the AAC for sure

Second game today where only one person got it right.  RINO Tom picked this one, Sunrise picked Kansas State.

[GeorgiaModerate]

OMG.  Michigan State hit a tying field goal with 6 seconds left -- then replay showed they had 12 men on the field and it was nullified by a penalty.  They had to kick again, and it missed.  Arizona State wins.

Minnesota was real lucky to escape Georgia Southern.

And Fresno, and SDSU... bit of a pattern here, no?

Illinois lost to Eastern Michigan, rip
