It's a big week for Heisman front-runner Lamar Jackson and #10/10 Louisville as they host #2/2 Florida State. It's the first time Louisville has ever had College GameDay come to their city and it's the first time two Top 10 teams met in Papa John's Cardinal Stadium since 2006.
It's also a big week for the Big Ten as they seek a much-needed boost to their résumé with a trio of high-profile matchups: >#3/4 Ohio State at #14/14 Oklahoma >#8/12 Mich State at #18/18 Notre Dame >#21/22 Oregon at #29/33 Nebraska As it stands now, the Big Ten only has three wins over teams from other Power 5 conferences, and only one worth bragging about....
Number of teams beaten from other Power 5 conferences:
5 - SEC >beat TCU, Southern Cal, UCLA, VT, UNC 4 - ACC >beat Ole Miss, Auburn, Penn State, Illinois 4 - Pac 12 >beat Kansas State, Texas Tech, Virginia, Rutgers 3 - AAC >beat Oklahoma, NC State, Purdue 3 - Big Ten >beat LSU, Oregon State, Iowa State 2 - Big XII >beat Notre Dame, Missouri
As for Florida State, they have two guys in the Heisman discussion
Kevin Smith
>my face when people actually think the team with the best defense and a top 10 offense in the country will miss the playoffs next season
>Brandon Peters (objectively and statistically the best QB in the 2016 recruiting class, it isn't even debatable) >Ty Isaac (best RB in the game who will be 100% healthy, unlike the entirety of last year. he will put up 1200+YDs/10+TDs/5.0YPC) >Jake Butt (a top 3 TE already going into this season, 1000+YDs/7+TDs) >Sean McKeon (literally a Jake Butt-clone) >Amara Darboh (top 10 WR, 900+YDs/5+TDs) >Jabril Peppers (a black guy trapped in a black's body, one of the smartest players in football, elite measurables, incredible upside) >Kareem Walker (one of the fastest and most explosive players in football) >Joe Beneducci (best blocking FB in country)
>Best pass rush in the B1G >Best LB corp in the B1G >Best secondary in the country >Top 5 D-Line
Barring major injuries to key players, there is literally no way the Wolverines are missing the playoffs this season
The Michigan B1G championship drought ends in 2016-2017

Connor King
Not everyone in the south supports a conference. I only root for one team: FSU. I don't mind some other teams in other conferences and I'll root for them when they play a team I hate.

here's my delima as a student.
I like going to the tailgate with my fraternity bros and stumbling into the game shitfaced but this means i have to miss all the other games. I prefer watching games on TV by myself because i have autism or something.

which happens first: an fcs team getting ranked in the fbs ap poll, or a sunbelt team getting ranked?
Xavier Bennett
first for Lamar Jackson will faze out and not be even invited to the Heisman presentation >has admited he doesnt know his plays, quote "stares his reciever down and if he's covered then he runs" >literally admitted he doesnt know how to play quarterback >used his athleticism to dominate FCS tier programs what do you think is gonna happen when he plays a program like Florida State, that has a defense that can easily match is athleticsm? literally Kenny Hill 2.0
Jordan Perry
iirc FCS schools cant be ranked because they have their own rankings

Dubs and Louiseville will get exposed this weekend and the Noles will win the beat them, Celmpson, and UF.

why would you need dubs to prove the truth?

FBS can be ranked. Appy State was ranked as an FBS school, for ex
2007 - Thanks to a new policy that makes all Division I teams eligible to receive votes in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, Appalachian State University was listed on four ballots and received 19 points in voting for this week's poll on Sunday. m.appstatesports.com/mobile/ViewArticle.dbml?atclid=1544668&DB_OEM_ID=21500&

Note both Stanford and Michigan State took bye weeks in Week 2 to give them each two full weeks to prepare for the challenges they are in fear of in Week 3: >Mich State at Notre Dame >USC at Stanford (Notre Dame plays both these teams: ND hosts Stanford Oct 8, and ND plays at USC the Friday after Thanksgiving during Rivalry Weekend)
Meanwhile ND and USC (who played Div 1 teams from Nevada and Utah) in Week 2) both took their bye weeks on Oct 22 to give them a mid-season rest, kinda like a halftime
Jaxson Powell
Florida isn't going to bother with any undefeated hype train at the beginning of the season.
Kayden Garcia
That's a piss easy schedule
Grayson Stewart
No, MSU has a bye in week 2 because Pedo State decided to fuck with their schedule last-minute, rearranging the schedules of everyone else in the B1G
Joshua Hall
What do you guys think of this? ND seems way overrated to me. Keep in mind ESPN rarely gives teams more than a 60% chance to win unless they are playing a cupcake
Jack Long
also note that: with Stanford and Michigan State both burning their bye week last week in fear of the foes they face this week, it means Stanford and Michigan State won't have an off week the rest of the season
Meanwhile: 1. both of Stanford's rivals for the Pac 12 North (Washington and Oregon) scheduled their bye weeks for Oct. 15 to give them a mid-season rest 2. one of Michigan State's rivals for the Big Ten East (Michigan) also scheduled their bye week on Oct 15 to give them a mid-season rest. As for Ohio State, their bye week is Sep. 24, this next week after they play Oklahoma. Probably because they figure Oklahoma is going to be so tough and bruising that they need a 2-week break to recover before they get back to the comfy Big Ten.
Angel Robinson
>tfw im applying to transfer to app state the same week they play miami at home Its meant to be guys
Colton Murphy
It has more to do with no flexibility because of 9 conference games Which is a ridiculous idea to begin with
Colton Baker
Austin has completely changed over the last decade. What used to be a small town is now an overpopulated mini-Seattle. I think it's the best place to live, but the problem is a ridiculous amount of people think the same exact thing.
As a civil engineer, I can tell you that the transportation system there is beyond fucked. The city hall thinks spending money on improving it will just invite more people there; although it's the university, music festivals and hipster attractions that keep people moving to live there at an average of 2 or 3 people a day.
Thanks for reading my blog. I love Austin and it's worth visiting. Just don't move there.

how much longer until you guys vote in a tranny as mayor?

welcome to App Nation, friend.
excited about living in Boone?
Jackson Richardson
Visited the campus in April, walked away pretty excited. They only showed us the freshmen dorms though. Are all the dorms that shitty?
Julian White
No, how fucking dumb are you? Literally two seconds on google gives you the correct answer.
Mich State was supposed to play Eastern Michigan last weekend. But Mich State pulled out so they had 2 weeks to prepare for Notre Dame
In 2009, MSU agreed to play Eastern Michigan in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2020 with the first 3 at MSU and the 4th at EMU. Mich State paid EMU $650,000 for the games at Michigan State in 2012 and 2014. But since Mich State wouldn't pay EMU to come to MSU in 2016, both schools came to the mutual decision in January 2015 to cancel both the 2016 and 2020 games. With both sides pulling out, neither program will have to pay the $500,000 buy-out fee in the contract. EMU quickly filled the slot with Missouri (Missouri beat EMU 61-21 last week) while Mich State left it open to give them 2 weeks to prepare for Notre Dame
The only shitty ones are East Hall, Coltrane, Gardner, Bowie, Eggers, and Justice.
All of those are scheduled for either demolition or renovation over the next several years.
The rest are nice.
Carson Diaz
Is East Hall really haunted? Also, any tips for incoming students and what to expect?

Southern Miss hasn't started conference play yet. Give it time.

East Hall was originally a hospital for the county before it was converted into a residence hall.
I've heard lots of stories from people who lived in East, from stuff moving around in the middle of the night, to voices, cold spots, and all sorts of creepy stuff. Several people have reported seeing a "girl in a white gown" on I think the 2nd floor.
Luke Howard

sounds spooky. So no tips for incoming students?

If hiking is your thing, check out Rough Ridge, Cone Manor, and Beacon Heights. All great hikes for catching the sunset. Hebron Rock Colony is good if you want to get in the river.

Greek life here is decent, but you don't need to be greek to find decent parties.
I highly recommend having a 4x4 vehicle for the winter up here. Lots of snow and ice.

Yeah we went to the Daniel Boone Inn, was pretty good but way to pricey. I do love hiking though, and I plan on getting into snowboarding too. What frats should I avoid joining though if I do decide to go greek?
