W2 Rewind:
Center stage + (pos): Louisville, Tenn, Michigan, OSU
Center stage - (neg): OkSt, TCU, MAC and Big 12 officiating, UGA
Although it was one of the weaker schedules in recent memory, when you have 50+ college football games, you still get some fantastic nuggets:
- CMU wins on a hail mary play that should have never happened, beating OKST 30-27
- Both the officiating crew and replay crew were suspended as a result
- http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/9/11/12878988/central-michigan-hail-mary-cooper-rush-jesse-kroll
- Georgia almost loses to a high school team (not literally, sorta), after being favored by 52 and winning by 2. Yes, 2.
- Auburn's Kyle Davis continues dominating with this insane catch:
- Clemson is still hung over from the national championship, beating Troy 30-24
- Louisville offense looks impressive as they roll Syracuse 62-28
- Order was restored in Starkville, as Mississippi St. finds its stride against the Gamecocks, winning 27-14
- San Diego State may have the best running back in the country (Donnel Pumphrey) as he breaks Marshall Faulk's Aztecs' all time leading rusher record
- Did LSU find a QB in Danny Etling. I guess so when 6-14 (that's almost 43%!), 100 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT is better than they got from Harris last week against wisconsin...
- Oh yeah, and a football game was played at a race track
- Congrats to Tenn for winning the Battle at Bristol. I mean, how else should you celebrate beating a week 2 unranked opponent than with a giant stage, crap ton of confetti, and a trophy:

- But then there is this. America!
Game of the weekend: Arkansas at TCU
In this game alone you had a game winning kick blocked, a last minute TD and a successful 2 pt conversion to tie, and 2 OTs. Arkansas wins 41 - 38.
Overreaction corner:
- Louisville's QB Lamar Jackson will win the Heisman
- Tennessee will go to the playoffs
- Greyson Lambert should be the starter at Georgia
W3 Preview:
This week is set up to have one very loaded evening slate (all times central):
- 11:00 am
- FSU plays at Louisville where they are hosting College Gameday for the first time in school history
- 2:30 pm
- Alabama at Ole Miss, which Ole Miss team will show up?
- Oregon at Nebraska, and Nebraska is favored!
- 6:00 pm
- TAMU at Auburn, unranked Auburn is favored against #17 TAMU
- MSST at LSU, will either team score 20 points?
- 6:30 pm
- Mich St at Notre Dame, that other michigan team is pretty good too
- UGA at Mizzou, I'm pretty sure Mizzou is better than Nichols St
- Ohio St at Oklahoma, where Oklahoma is a home underdog for the first time since they won the national championship
- 7:00pm
- USC at Stanford, don't sleep on the Trojans just yet
- Miami plays at App State, yes AT App State
- Michigan is still in preseason mode as they host Colorado, this time with a game line of only -20.5
If I were a betting man...
- TAMU +3.5, USC +9, MSST +12.5, MSU +7.5
Your Domestic Duty Deadline (DDD) this week: 11:00 am. Hopefully you took care of business last week and built up some honey-do credit, because this week you're going to need it.
Vandy Update:
Question, which SEC team's running back leads the conference in rushing as of today? I'll give you a hint, its not LSU or Alabama.
After a hurricane rolled through Nashville, Vandy showed its rushing dominance we were expecting, beating MTSU 47-24. Webb is now 777 yards shy of breaking none other than Zac Stacy's all-time leading rusher record of 3,143 yds.
This week Vandy plays at Georgia Tech at 11:30 am. Will that Mason defense be able to stop the ramblin wreck option offense?
Florida Update:
What is there to say here except utter dominance? Florida crushed Kentucky 45-7 to extend the win streak to 30 in a row. Kentucky had as many completions to Florida players as they did to their own wide receivers (3).
This week Florida hosts North Texas in preparation for the showdown on rocky top next week.
