CSU lost the Rocky Mountain Showdown, therefore college football is dumb and it never mattered.

I love me some college football!
Especially the University of Southern California.

I really hope they have a great season, but it's already gone up and down.

Week 1, Hard fought win against Western Michigan.

Week 2, Amazing win against Stanford. Everyone was
Talking about USC being back on top!!

Week 3, barely pulled out a win against the University of Texas in double overtine last night.

I hope the receivers begin catching the damn ball. Bastatds seem to drop every other pass thrown at them, except for Deontay Burnett, he is money.

There are some good looking teams out there, including Penn State, Washington, Alabama, and (fingers xrossed) the Trojans that will make it a fun season, especially come rivalry week, conference championships, and the BVS playoff and championship.

Fight on!!

Ohio State wins National Championship.

That isn't happening this year, after losing last week.
They still have to play Penn State and Michigan.

If they win out, and the conference championship, they do have deserve to make the play off.

Big XII overall is off to a strong start. That Kansas State loss last night sucked though.

LOL...Nebraska

Nebraska has been doing well in recruiting, but somehow don't have a decent quarterback.


Mike Riley is on the hot seat.
Nebraska loves the Cornhuskers and winning. Riley needs to figure it out or he will be out of a job. He hasn't done much as the Nebraska coach, yet still got a contract extension.

Nice to see even though UCF was rusty after not playing for two weeks they were able to pull together and laid the smackdown on Maryland.

Usually, even when we are bad, we are still able to rip SoCar's heart out with late game wins. I guess two tries to get 2 yards was too much to ask yesterday.

The season is over. I guess we could beat Bama, but I am sure Tweek will be along shortly with Tennessee's record against Top 25 teams (bad) and Top 10 teams (worse) that suggest that won't happen.

Think Clemson has it tough, Alabama first, then Georgia, Don't think Oklahoma will win at Georgia.
The Sooner will score a few touchdowns, but give up way too many points.
Think their defense will be out on the field too long, and they will tire out in the end. Giving up way to many points to Georgia

Beautiful, I actually went looking for that stat the other day. Local Pitt fans love to play up the miserable fan base but they have a win against Clemon and Miami in the last two years!

Just imagine how stupid Georgia Tech must feel right about now. AND, just imagine what Tennessee's season looks like without that win. Only wins again Indiana State, Massachusetts (barely), and Southern Miss.

Started the season in the Top 25.

Pitt has something crazy like 4-5 wins over Top 10 teams in the last decade, going back to when they pretty much handed LSU a championship in 07 by beating WVU. I wish we could get some of that mojo as I think Michigan has like 1 upset in the same timespan. What it must feel like to be on the winning side of one of those instant classic games.....

Yeah, the 13-9 win against WVU was 10 years ago, which I only really know for sure because it was a big talking point for sports radio last week.

As for being on the winning side, do you want me to ask some of the folks in Boone, NC how it feels? ;)

No need, a bunch of folks I work with are App State grads, so I already know how psyched they were, but yea games like that, the Rose Bowl with Texas, the 2006 OSU game, that damn blocked punt against MSU.....

I guess I'll be happy that at no point have we gone winless in conference play :)
