@DaveG so hows not rescheduling with State looking now...

 

[DaveG]

@DaveG so hows not rescheduling with State looking now...

Was the right call at the time, still isn't necessarily the wrong one if they actually refocus.

They'll do a game at State a different year to make up for it I'm sure.

 

[Svechhammer]

NC State probably shouldn't have spent all week talking about how this Clemson game was going to be their statement win to show everyone they've arrived.

 

[Canes]

NC State probably shouldn't have spent all week talking about how this Clemson game was going to be their statement win to show everyone they've arrived.

NC State beat pretty much no one prior to this, and they are so overmatched in talent by Clemson I'm not sure how anyone could be surprised. NC State has maybe a handful of guys that would be in Clemson's two deep.

Ohio State got beatdown by Purdue, so at least that's nice.

 

[Oogie Boogie]

So App State is now ranked #25.
Won't lie I'm a bit surprised. I thought that if anything it would come at the very end of the season. This could be very short-lived though seeing as we how play Georgia Southern on Thursday and I haven't been too pleased with the offense lately.

 

[HisIceness]

 

[DaveG]

.... WAT!?!

 

[Unsustainable]

That’s nuts.

Where will the the Luckeyes fall with their loss to unranked Purdue?

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

This is incredible.

Nah we've deserved to be ranked for awhile now. The tough OT loss to Penn State was our only one and the rest of the games haven't been close. Thursday scares me too but they won't overlook a 6-1 GSU team

App is having a good season.

Florida
Bonagura: Peach Bowl (vs. UCF)

Please let this happen. If Bama can't be the one to nuke UCF from orbit, please let us be the one's to do it.

 

[Canes]

Please let this happen. If Bama can't be the one to nuke UCF from orbit, please let us be the one's to do it.

I think that would be a good game. Doubt Florida would blow them out.

UCF is beyond annoying at this point though.

Five US College Football games set for Dublin as organisers expect €250 million boost to economy

The Aviva Stadium will play host to five American Football games between 2020 and 2024.

AMERICAN COLLEGE FOOTBALL is to return to Ireland for the first time in four years as Navy’s meeting with Notre Dame has been arranged to take place in Dublin in August 2020.
An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was present at the Aviva Stadium this afternoon to announce a five-game series which will bring teams across the Atlantic to play at the venue.
The Aer Lingus College Football Classic, which last involved Boston College and Georgia Tech in September 2016, will kick off with Navy-Notre Dame on 29 August 2020. The four additional fixtures are yet to be confirmed, but they will take place by the end of 2024.

[DaveG]

Honestly would consider the trip if they were going to have an Army or Navy vs Air Force game.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

App is having a good season.

That AP ranking sure was nice while it lasted.

 

[Oogie Boogie]

Not surprised in the slightest

WVU took their issues out on Baylor

 

[DaveG]

WVU took their issues out on Baylor

Yep that was probably their most complete game of the year. Needed a statement win after the joke at Jack Trice. Big test coming up next weekend although they'll be the more rested team with UT being the night game this Saturday.
