JMU 49, GaState 23. Dukes are 7-0 and probably in the penultimate position in the CFP race waiting for Boise to stumble


Charlotte 38, Temple 31 CLT gets their first win. Might create an opening in ESPN’s “Bottom Ten” although I’m not sure if one win is enough to get you off the list when you’ve been #1 for two weeks. Kinda like Texas needed more than one loss to drop out of the top 10

Speaking of:
Florida 27, 7. Texas 24
Oopsie. Florida’s back, and Arch Manning and Co. apparently aren’t.

Texas A&M 41, The Citadel 0
So now we can use the transitive property
TAMU>Citadel>Charlotte>Temple>Army>Tulane>Memphis

Texas had its largest blown loss at home vs an unranked team since the 1965 Rice game today vs Florida.

That doesn’t really make me feel any better though.

I don’t remember that game, but the fun fact does make me feel better.

Heck I don’t remember much of 1965 at all, for that matter.

Today's loss at home against Florida was the Longhorns' largest blown lead at home vs. an unranked team since 1965 against Rice. So, we made the news today!

War Damn Eagle! That was a fun celebration. Didn't think they had much chance going up to Athens today, but I did see the game had the perfect Trap Game setup with GA's big win in Tuscaloosa last week and Auburn having the Bye week to prepare. The SEC is just brutal this season. Texas finds itself behind Auburn and a bunch of other teams in the standings, currently. It's gonna be a war of attrition this year it seems.

BYU has 1st and goal at 2:00. Currently down 3 vs Notre Dame.

And BYU takes the lead, 28-24. Notre Dame will have1:47 to make something happen.

Notre Dame able to make it all the way to the 9 yd line but not enough time. BYU wins.
Rankings will be fun tomorrow.

Houston beats #18 Oklahoma St in front of a sold out Houston 43K+ crowd on Fox Sports.

I remember that game, because I was there.

First game I remember watching that was played at Rice Stadium was Super Bowl VIII

My junior year. One precious memory of that game was of Longhorn fans crying as we left the stadium.

I'm surprised there has been no mention here of this game:

I saw the reports, but thought it was too sad to post. RIP young man.
