    In my mind the most valuable part of Game Day is the first 15 minutes when they go over the top games for the day. The rest feels like filler most of the time.

    I feel like Duke got way too cute with the pooch punt. I guess we’ll see how it turns out.

        If 3 points wouldn’t have made a difference I get trying to pin them in the 5. But by forcing them to go for 7 for the win on their final drive changes the entire dynamic of how you play that final drive defensively.

        It just makes no sense to me.

    Switched from the USC/Colorado game to Clemson/Cuse. I wonder if they’ll give up on giving Colorado prime billing after this week. It’s not terribly interesting to watch Colorado perform slightly better than what any sane CFB fan would expect.

        They could go 3-9 this year and it would be a remarkable improvement over last year. I don’t think people understand how bad they were last year. Like maybe one of the worst teams of the past 20 years bad.

    Frankly, today’s slate seems really odd. There’s no game that is standing out to me that I have to see no matter what. Yet another Saturday where I wish that ESPN didn’t kill off Goal Line.
