Josh McCray with negative one yards for Georgia, bringing his 2025 total to 5 yards. What a puzzling, bad choice.

College Gameday heading to Knoxville next Saturday for Georgia/Tennessee.
ASU in big trouble!
UNREAL last minute TD for Mississippi State
Absolute craziness going on right now in Starkville.
Picked off and miss st wins it.
Looks like Oklahoma well on their way to take care of Michigan...

Moral of story: winning on road (even as ranked team) is tough. Makes what Illinois did today more impressive.
Big time overtime shootout MSU-BC.
I forgot Bill O Brien was at BC. He hardly stays anywhere longer than 2 years
His contract isn't that big. I'm not sure the temperament of the AD, but this one sure looks like a midseason offing if things don't get straightened out.
ASU and SMU losing helps our chances at a playoff spot. The simple scenario is to root for only 1 ACC and 1 Big12 school to get in, plus ND. That leaves 4 spots for the SEC and 4 spots for the B1G.
Big12 looking pretty likely to only get 1 bid. There is no dominant team but a bunch of quality teams so i think everyone is going to beat each other up.
ACC + ND is what we have to worry about. Need to see ND, Clemson, FSU, and/or Miami start picking up some L's. And Georgia Tech is a dark horse. Troy upsetting Clemson would've been great.

Also that Oklahoma win probably locks in Gameday going to the Red River Rivalry instead of Champaign for our game against tOSU. Oklahoma has a pretty easy schedule so will probably go in undefeated (only potential L is at home against Auburn). Texas has a tough game @Florida but even if they pick up a 2nd loss, ESPN can make the narrative "Sooners trying to end Longhorns season".
UCLA was bad, but unlv is pretty good also. I’ll bet the bruins will have a game or two that they win seemingly out of nowhere, so I think foster at least finishes the season.
Anyone else getting shedeur vibes from Bryce underwood? Not quite at the same level, more like a diet version. Michigan could finish 7-5 again, do they keep Moore?

Still pretty early and it was his first road game. That Oklahoma crowd was fired up. Plus Michigan has a pretty navigable schedule. They avoid us, IU, PSU, and Oregon. They play @Nebraska in a couple weeks and I think that game will tell us if they are a 9-10 win team or a 7-8 win team.
More like Arch Manning vibes,too much expectation for a true freshman quarterback because of ranking and they paid him lots of money .In due time he will develop his game.
Seriously doubt it.
yea
it was a joke based on him losing every time he set foot in Champaign
I get the cynicism about Espn but idea that they'd pass up a matchup of two undefeated top 10 teams in favor of your narrative is crazy.
yea, if we are both 6-0 and both ranked top 10 going into that game, I like our chances

They very well could come, but Gameday stopped being a truly national thing a LONG time ago now. It takes an extraordinary circumstance for them to not pick an SEC (or ACC) location … they’re a PR firm now, after all!
