Congrats to Duke. First win over FSU.

FSU is 1-6 for the season.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Give Tony Hinchcliffe a live mic on Gameday.

What could POSSIBLY go wrong? lol

I'm not saying Brent Venables should be fired, but he probably should not be the head coach of Oklahoma past this season.

He's not a good coach.

Some guys are just great coordinators.

Coastal Carolina hosted Louisiana this afternoon. Through a quirk in Sun Belt scheduling they hadn't played in four seasons. LA was 5-1 coming into the game. Offense was bad from the start leading to a QB change early on, which seemed to spark the team. However the defense was not good, but in the 4th quarter we were down by only 3 but defense wasn't up to the task and Coastal loses 34-24.

[Edward64]

Vols stadium full of orange is impressive.

[Edward64]

Vols up 14-10 with 1 min left in 3Q.

Vols are playing inspired so far.

[Ghost Econ]

I'm not sure who should be in the top 10, but I'm comfortable saying neither Alabama or Tennessee are top 10 teams.

This year, I'm not sure if there's anything more than a top one or two that matters much. And THAT feels like I'm being unreasonably optimistic.

edit: my actual point, before posting before finishing it, was that one of them MIGHT be among the 10 best in the country, but that doesn't necessarily require being all that good either.

If Bama loses this game, after that weird 4th and 22 call, DeBoer is going to get roasted.

If Williams makes his block, it just mighta worked tho.

[GrantDawg]

Bama is 0 for Tennessee.

[Edward64]

I know there were a lot of penalties, but thought both played tough. Congrats Vols.

[Edward64]

Going to be a long night for the Hogs. Outplayed, out muscled by the Tigers right now.

[GrantDawg]

If Georgia can pull off a win tonight, the Tennessee-Georgia game is going to be big. Even if Georgia loses, that game is going to be vital for Tennessee.

[Lathum]

Eat a dick DeBoer.

hope you end up at FIU.

[GrantDawg]

Carson Beck, man.

[GrantDawg]

Georgia has a lead. STOP THE COUNT! Georgia could have the win now if Mike Pence has the guts.

Those false electors from Texas might have something to say here

[JonInMiddleGA]

Fun little fact someone caused me to dig up.

Last time Bama lost to both Vandy & UT in the same season was 1984.
And 1969. As well as 56, 55, 51, 50

The last time Bama beat UT in a season they lost to Vandy was 1947.

Not counting Bama-Vandy tie years (there are several) When Bama loses to Vandy they also lose to UT six times in a row and counting.

[Edward64]

Dawgs defense doing great!

[GrantDawg]

Daylen Everette with a strip sack and fumble recovery, then an interception. DPOW lock.

[Edward64]

Will we see Archie 2H if Texas hasn’t scored by halftime?

[GrantDawg]

Georgia's defense this year hasn't been near as good as it has been. This defense tonight is looking every bit of 21-22.

[Edward64]

Let’s see if I got this right …

AR > TN > AL > GA > TX

[GrantDawg]

Archie Manning is reportedly warming up on the sidelines. That sucks. I was glad he wasn't starting.

[GrantDawg]

As much as Beck makes bad decision at times, his receivers do not help him at all. He has to have more catchable passes not caught than any other quarterback.

[GrantDawg]

Does Quinn Ewers enter the portal at halftime or wait until the end of the game?

— Conor Sen (@conorsen) October 20, 2024

[GrantDawg]

If you would have told me that Beck with throw two picks and Georgia would be up at halftime 23-0, I would say you are on drugs.

Maybe not a lock:

Jalon Walker is the first player in the last 20 years with 3 sacks and 7 tackles in a game against the AP No. 1 team.

He did it in the first half.

Hogs have no answers.

[GrantDawg]

Stay classy, Texas.

[GrantDawg]

OMG. It was a bad call. But reversing that after the fans where throwing things on the field? You are rewarding fans bad behavior. Disagree with a call? Then just throw things on the field till the refs overturn it. This crew should be fired.

[cuervo72]

SEC office let the refs know the game has to get closer, not the other way!

[miami_fan]

The rest of the SEC definitely going to learn the proper lesson from this incident.

[GrantDawg]

The SEC office also called and told them not to reward the obvious TD. This is getting ridiculous.

[miami_fan]

Why are running backs still allowed to lead with the crown of their helmet? I'm not saying it was not targeting by the GA player that was ejected but the collision was crown of the helmet to crown of the helmet.

[GrantDawg]

Now they are going to throw the Georgia defensive backs out of the game one at a time till Texas wins.

[GrantDawg]

What a stupid call there. Shotgun?

[GrantDawg]

Wow, Florida killed Kentucky.

[GrantDawg]

Pulled it off, and by two scores. The pass rush that has been mostly silent this season came alive tonight. They beat those two NFL first round tackles like they owed them money.

[cartman]

The second half was how I expected the whole game to go. Texas just dug themselves too big of a hole in the first half.

[GrantDawg]

Kirby Smart "They tried to rob us with calls in this place...". That'll be a fine. I don't think he cares.

[Edward64]

Congrats to the Dawgs. The disrespect has stopped (for now).

Condolences to the Hogs. We got whupped fair and square.

And congrats to the Vols. Good to see the Tide humbled.

[GrantDawg]

Man, the schedule doesn't get any easier for Texas. Next week they play the Vandy in Nashville.

[JPhillips]

lol

Three 2 loss teams in the top 25.

All of them from the SEC.

Is there a different 2 loss team like Nebraska or Colorado you'd prefer? Vandy is a bit much and 1 loss Syracuse and UNLV have a beef there, in a normal year maybe Ole Miss wouldn't deserve it yet but I'm not up in arms about them, there simply aren't 25 good teams in the country. Alabama unquestionably is one, kinda shocked TBH they dropped them all the way to 15 but they'll be in unless they lose 4 games.

#26 Washington State is the other one getting a weird amount of love. Those Washington and Texas Tech wins look a lot worse after this week, I don't see a path to the playoff for them anymore unless Tech and Boise win out, but ESPN's playoff predictor has them at 13% (23rd). Idk how accurate that one is, it also has Army at a 25% chance but Navy somewhere below 12%, seems like both of them should be near identical with big games left vs Notre Dame and each other (possibly 2x)

I'm going to love the playoff games, but I can't wait for the freak outs when people realize the 4 and maybe 3 seed are going to double digit dogs after their bye week. People will get the chance to yell about SEC bias when 5 of them make the playoff, but unless the committee lines up the seeds good chance 3 make the semi's. #5 is the cakewalk seed, #6 doesn't seem too far off depending on your opinion of Miami and Clemson right now.
