1 hard game (UND), 4 challenging games (FSU, Miami, VA, Va Tech), and 5 should win games (BC, Duke, NCSU, Syracuse, and WFU).

Should be interesting. If it happens. Based on that schedule, I'd estimate 8-2

!RmindMe 12/1/2020
I was right about FSU being challenging, unfortunately. 6-3 with 2 games left, as season got changed around a bit.

BYU goes down. Props to them for even getting the game scheduled, and losing in the final second though.

Not sure anyone beats Bama though.

Apparently, TTUN is back on track to play this weekend.

Also, loads of sources reporting that they have an agreement with Harbaugh for lower base pay, higher bonuses for performance, and some other items. However, 5 NFL teams have also reached out to Jim, so...will he stay or will he go?

I don't know many of that team's fans who still want him.

Urban tells Texas he's probably never coaching again due to his health.

It's got to make Tom Herman feel awesome that his employer was actively trying to hire someone else for his job.

The Game cancelled.

Too much covid up north.

Wonder if OSU will get someone else scheduled.

It sucks they are being denied (as of now), but really, who, other than the team that wins it, will take this year's championship title seriously anyways? There should be an exception for teams <6 games who didn't cancel any themselves.

Voters gonna vote whatever. But the ACC and SEC had their shit together. UNC had 1 game (non-conference at that) canceled on them. OSU had 3.

The ACC and SEC "having their shit together" is not how I would phrase it. "Didn't give a shit about a pandemic and went forward anyway, which allowed them more time to do make up games" would be better. I mean Clemson traveled with players showing symptoms. That's not exactly having your shit together or even giving two shits about the health of your players.

OSU still being in the discussion at 5 games is more about the complete lack of competition in college football right now. I genuinely don't think OSU has a shot at winning it all with our porous pass defense, but they're still better than everyone that isn't Clemson and Bama. Florida, Georgia, and Texas A&M being in the conversation is a joke. Georgia got routed by Florida and Bama. A&M routed by Bama. ND has a shot, but will probably get boat raced by Clemson with Lawrence back.

The Pac-12 is an also ran, the Big 12 doesn't play defense, the ACC is Clemson and a bunch of terrible teams (and up and coming UNC), the B1G is OSU and a bunch of mediocre teams half heartedly playing this year (Indiana was a contender, but Penix going out ruined that), and the SEC is Bama and a lot of hype.

OSU is trying to make a game happen this weekend. I know they've looked into scheduling Texas A&M deep enough that Jimbo Fisher just had to address it on a national radio show.

Coach K doesn't think we should be playing games right now.

And why are you avoid bball tonight Catt?

Clemson is not the ACC. The ACC had their shit together, some participants did not.
