The usual weak slate of games before Thanksgiving Day Weekend. Just praying my beloved U does not falter before the showdown with Clemson on Dec 2.

I’m not sure where to post this, but Florida State is making up their previously canceled game during championship weekend. That could be for their bowl eligibility.

God that game vs florda might be the worst of the season

The loser of that game will miss out on a bowl game, which is crazy considering where they were both ranked in the preseason polls (yes, injuries and bad coaching, but still...).

Fsus end of schedule is pathetic

I could see Texas Tech giving TCU fits. Even if they don't, it will be a much better matchup than freaking Mercer at Alabama.

 

[HoseEmDown]

You must mean UCF at Temple for the best game. This is going to be a real tough game for us. Temple has been playing much better the second half of the season and the weather is going to be below 70 which we don't like, also chance of rain which will slow us down. Also we got USF coming up next week so hopefully we aren't looking ahead. Don't care how pretty we look we need to just get the W, stay healthy and have no one get suspended for next week.

Thank you CFP committee for keeping hate alive in Miami. Keep disrespecting this team....

Next stop on the revenge tour is Virginia for the 48-0 loss in the last game in the Orange Bowl.

They're ranked #3, and jumped an Oklahoma team that comfortably beat the #6 ranked team. Seems like they got plenty of love from the committee. They'll have their shot against Clemson, so at worst they should finish #2 if they win out.

Oklahoma has looked real bad though at times. They easily could have 3-4 losses. The Baylor game was just one where they were lucky to get out alive. Miami defensively has looked better than them overall

They also haven't showed up in a big game, since Jason White was QB.

False. Oklahoma vs Alabama 2014 for bowl games. Most of the wins this year are big as well

Wins over TCU, OK St, and Ohio St is nothing to sneeze at. Every team has a couple close wins over weaker opponents, Miami beat FSU and Georgia Tech on the last play of the game.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Oklahoma has looked real bad though at times. They easily could have 3-4 losses.

In a 4 week stretch Miami needed a last second TD to beat Florida State, a last second FG to beat Georgia Tech, a defensive stop in the last minute to hold off a currently 4-6 Syracuse team and another defensive stop in the last 2 minutes against a 2-8 North Carolina team to hold on for a 5 point win.

Apparently Azeem Victor got himself arrested Sunday morning, suspended indefinitely by UW. Talk about a reversal of fortune since last year.

DUI. What a moron.

Hoping Washington makes a statement vs Utah. After last week it's going to be easy to overlook the Utes while looking at the Apple Cup. They need to go in vs Wazzu with full confidence and the only way to do that is by beating the crap out of Utah.

While on the subject of Huskies, this NIU/Western Michigan game was been very fun to watch.

Frankly, I don't feel like UW deserves to go much further. The D is pretty great despite injured pieces, but there's no excuse for not putting up enough offense to get by two non-ranked division opponents

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Miami shouldn't have even beaten Florida St. IDK what Jimbo was doing having his true freshman QB who's not good at option reads run one in the redzone in the final minute.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Nice to see the big game in prime time. I’m not sure why fox picked it up since it has lost its luster but maybe it’s important for Stanford.
