Florida "won" the "football game." A good result, everyone and everything looked like trash. Miami delenda est.

[Dereich]

Boise State scores the last 23 points of the game to upset Florida St. 36-31!

knew I should've put that one on the pickem rather than like...Clemson GT lol

Very glad you didn’t.

I didn't put FSU - UL Monroe on the pick em this week because I guess I figured they'd win that one handily.....but ummm

Go away.

[Dereich]

That ending lmao.....FSU wins

This is fine. I'm OK with the events that are unfolding currently.

[Dereich]

Well folks UNC is our only hope to defeat Clemson, prepare your energy for the inevitable!

This, of course, means they're gonna lose to Wofford.

Those two are not mutually exclusive.

It's weird watching an LSU team that can throw the ball at will, but has numerous defensive breakdowns.  It's like the Twilight Zone.

Let's hope this the Twilight Zone is complete and we get to watch LSU inexplicably shutting out Bama in Tuscaloosa.

[Dereich]

My god, it’s happening to FSU again.

This was a prescient post. I don’t blame them for going for two either! With Clemson’s depth the longer the game goes the worse for UNC.

A factoid from ESPN's College Game Day that I never realized before: Auburn is the nearest SEC opponent to Florida.  (It's about 35 miles closer to Gainesville than Athens is).

Honestly I would have though Auburn was even closer than that. 

Don't underestimate the size of the Panhandle. Its a 5 hour drive from Gainesville to the Alabama border.

[Dereich]

For now: Oregon

Bad guys are going to win. No way Muschamp of all people can take down Georgia. Same script as a close Bama game.

[Dereich]

LOVE being wrong! Bad guys lose!

To hell with Georgia!
