Good game this weened between Colorado and Colorado State... probably the outcome you didn't want to see... But the game was entertaining!
If I were an opposing coach, vs Colorado, I wouldn't play into Coach Prime's mind games.

He's got the upper hand on the "us vs the world" thing and he's using it to the utmost success.

I'd pay him a few compliments and then focus on the game and what my team needs to do, not coach him on social graces etc. etc. a la the COL State coach.

Eh it hyped the game and brought attention to it and provided more narrative to being on gameday.Im sure it was done with that in mind

Csu benefitted from the national spotlight and some of the players now are on the radar to many

Texas' offense is concerning me. Everyone is writing off Wyoming as a hangover after Alabama, but I'm not convinced. Guess we'll find out against Oklahoma.

Colorado fell to earth and fell out of the top 25 rankings. Realistically I can see them make their way back into the top 25, but the hype machine thankfully cooled down. The Deon Prime Time channel (ESPN) should hopefully cover non-Deon topics now.

Bummers on Notre Dame not surviving their run in with Ohio State, I think they could have over came them, but it wasn't meant to be

Middle Tennessee vs. Western Kentucky looks it might be a fun game to watch. I'm not sure what to make the Temple vs. Tulsa - I think they're evenly matched, but whenever I watch a Temple game they seem to struggle. Jacksonville game looks like a fun one to tune into as well

Kentucky, is having their way with Florida - at least in the first half. Ray Davis is having a monster game.

Edit: FLA tighted up the game, but Kentucky still controlled it - fun game

I wanted to watch the Ole Miss, LSU game but life got in the way. I'm a Kiffin fan, and a Kelly hater, so it was to be a nice matchup where I root for Ole Miss. Glad to see they pulled off a hard earned win. LSU started the season ranked 5 and with 2 losses they'll be tumbling near the bottom of the rankings

I was channel surfing between the UT game and the LSU game. I can't stand Kiffin. lol

LSU's helmet is one of my favorites so I always root for them. lol.

I have to wonder how good Texas really is... ?

He had some growing up to do, and burned Tenn, but at alabama, he was the secret sauce to their success, and I think he learned a lot from from Saban, and he's a different person.

Where as I think Kelly did Notre Dame a dirty and how he so superficially tried to ingratiate himself to LSU with that fake southern accent was a bad look.

Yer not wrong...

So will Georgia dip a spot due to the difficulty they had with Auburn?

Will Michigan jump to #1 based on how easily they won?

Or will Texas move up based on their relatively easy win...?

Interesting - I was hoping that Auburn could finish strong and win, but alas, that wasn't to be

Tennessee won, convincingly, and still dropped a spot. That FLA loss will haunt them all season.

Kentucky should have gone up at least one spot, imho.

I still feel that UGA is head and shoulders better than the rest of the top 10.
