College Football 2019.... it's on!!!

[tripplej]

Big upset in college football.

Illinois 24, No. 6 Wisconsin 23.

First time since 2007 that the University of Illinois beat a top ranked team and Wisconsin entered Saturday as a 30-point favorite!

 

[JStewart]

Can't believe Bama doesn't play until 9pm (8pm our time).

SEC Network and DVRs. What a great time we live in.
I will very likely need to avail myself of one or the other option. Sunday will be a better day for it. So there's that.

 

[Sonnie]

Well it really hasn't been that interesting to watch in the first half. I don't see how we do as well as we do with all the mistakes we constantly make.

And seriously... we can get the best of quarterbacks, the best of receivers, the best of running backs... but we have absolutely ZERO clue of how to get just a "good" kicker. I don't understand... makes no sense. This is year after year after year. We haven't had a good kicker since the days of Van Tiffin back in the 80's. How sad.

Looks like Tua has injured his ankle again.

 

[tripplej]

Number 15 Texas beat Kansas in a close one, final score 50 to 48.

 

[Sonnie]

That was indeed a close game. Texas still has some defensive issues.

Tua is out for at least this next game... then Bama has a week off. Hopefully he'll be back for LSU, cause we will need him if we have any hope of pulling that one off and possibly outscore them. If our defense doesn't make some improvements, we won't get past Arkansas next week, especially not with a badly crippled offense.

 

[JStewart]

I don’t think the Razorbacks will be a huge challenge but the way LSU is playing they will be, even with a healthy Tua. I’m with you. Let’s hope he’s back quickly and near full strength for that one.

 

[tripplej]

Latest ranking...

 

[Sonnie]

Wow... 5 SEC teams in the top 10. And Clemson just keeps getting shoved down. I honestly think this is by design... suspecting if Bama is fortunate enough to win out, they will pair them with Clemson in the first round to keep them from potentially having a rematch in the championship game. Probably a good idea for the sake of most football fans tired of seeing them play in the final game. The only issue I see with that is I'm not sure Bama can win out... as LSU and Auburn will score some points on us for sure with our weak defense.

 

[tripplej]

SEC has some powerful teams that is for sure. It will be interesting how the games leading up to the championship go..

[JStewart]

Thanks @tripplej . Here's my line-up for tomorrow...

No. 13 Wisconsin at No. 3 Ohio State | 12 p.m. | FOX

No. 5 Oklahoma at Kansas State | 12 p.m. | ABC

I've been upset with Wisconsin since they took out UK in the NCAAs a couple years ago. They owe me one. A lousy Gator fan (good friend) gave us stuffed badger toy after that one. The badger will be out for the game. Will use the "previous channel" button to keep tabs on Oklahoma.

No. 9 Auburn at No. 2 LSU | 3:30 p.m. | CBS

Game of the week I think.

Duke at North Carolina | 4 p.m. | ACC Network Extra

Scratch that... wrong sport!

Arkansas at No. 1 Alabama | 7 p.m. | ESPN

No reason for Bama not to win, but a fan has to watch. And it's starting before 9. No DVR required!

 

[tripplej]

lol.Duke vs North Carolina would be worth watching in basketball.

Auburn vs LSU will be the game to watch!

 

[JStewart]

lol.Duke vs North Carolina would be worth watching in basketball.

Always!

 

[Sonnie]

Hated to see Jalen and the Sooners struggle today... but Kansas sure had them figured out.

No surprises otherwise... other than maybe Michigan putting it on Notre Dame early on.

Auburn played LSU really well... just came up a little short.

Jones did really well for Bama, although they were playing the worst team yet this year... and our defense is still struggling. I like that we have a lot of young guys starting, but we are going to have a rough day when the bayou Bengals come to T-Town.

 

[tripplej]

Arkansas used to be good back in the day.. Alabama had no issues with them that is for sure .. 48 to 7..

I was surprised as well with Kansas. Thought Oklahoma would have won that one..

 

[JStewart]

The Oklahoma loss was a real disappointment.

 

[tripplej]

Latest Ranking..

 

[Sonnie]

LSU deserves to be number one... they've beaten Texas, Florida and now Auburn... that's more than anyone else has done for sure.

I would not at all be surprised to see LSU vs either Ohio State or Clemson in the championship game.

 

[tripplej]

I agree. LSU will be there for sure!

[Sonnie]

Didn't see anything truly shocking yesterday, although I didn't see much outside of highlights.

This weekend will likely be a playoff elimination round between Bama and LSU. I believe the Tigers are probably the better team this year... at least defensively. The two offenses are fairly close, and I don't know that we can stop their offense. I suppose it could turn out to be a high scoring game, although we really don't know how well our offense is against a good defense... and we aren't sure if Tua will play... and if he does if he will be 100%.

I’ll be looking forward to this game all week. A 1 vs 2 with tremendous history and with a lot riding on the outcome. Doesn’t get any better.
Roll Tide!

from yahoo,

"Florida State has fired Willie Taggart, the move coming a day after the Seminoles lost to rival Miami and with the team in danger of missing a bowl for the second consecutive season. "

 

[tripplej]

Yeah, the game of the week will be here soon, LSU vs Alabama 2:30pm in Alabama on Nov 9th. Will be televised on CBS.
