Thread is to talk about college football, all teams in general. I watch a lot of college football and would like to see opinions on the many different match ups.

Right now watching a very close game between Louisville and UCF. Storm Johnson is a beast. He makes Reggie Bush like moves.

UCF is a very good team.

Well that ends the Bridgewater for Heisman talks. Don't know how you lose a game up by 21 points in the third quarter, then let UCF answer with 31 points. I don't see the hype with Bridgewater honestly, the guy plays very slow and lethargic.

That was a great game, and congrats to UCF. That was their first win against a top 10 team ever. I didn't realize that was Louisville's homecoming game until it was over. Going to be a long weekend for them.

UCF just showed me more heart than I've seen from a team all season.

They're down 7-28 against Louisville, Louisville had just finished returning a mishandled punt for a touchdown. Louisville had ALL THE MOMENTUM, all of it. And UCF answers back with 21 straight points in the 3rd quarter and then adds another 3 points at the beginning of the 4th.

I think the fumble by Percy was the game changer. I mean that put the ball in the red zone and shifted all the momentum.

They almost beat South Carolina. They have a great offense. I don't know why anyone is shocked.

I'm pretty excited about FSU/Clemson tonight. Seems like it's been a while since two ACC teams have been in the top five and played each other.

The surprise is easy to understand. Louisville had a top defense, allowing 9 points per game. Louisville was up 28-7 at one point in the middle of the third quarter. And then UCF stormed with 31 points after Louisville fell asleep thinking they already had the game wrapped up.

And yeah, I'm excited for tonight's game. I think FSU wins in the end, I've seen Boyd struggle against weaker defenses and FSU has got a strong one.

A couple of SEC upsets today. The Vols beat #11 South Carolina 23-21, their first win over a top 15 team since 2009. Then Vanderbilt beat #15 UGA 31-27, their first home win against Georgia since 1991.

I had a feeling Vanderbilt would beat Georgia, Georgia has too many injuries and Todd Gurley doesn't seem to want to come back. Yeah he's injured but I question the severity of it. I'm shocked Mauk played as well as he did against Florida. He looked like a scrub replacing Franklin against Georgia.

Akron with their 2nd win of the season (doubling the individual win total of the past 3 seasons), and getting their 1st road win since like Sept 2008. :party:

Manziel might suck as an NFL QB, but he's a fantastic college QB. He has more power as a runner than you expect.

Texas A&M is the absolute definition of a 1 man team.Without Manziel to make up for the worst defense in football they would lose every week.

Speaking of terrible defenses, why is Auburn 15 yards off every WR? Gimpy shoulder and you give Manziel wide open underneath throws? LOL I can't deal with these types of games.

Still 10 yards off every WR. Is Auburn trying to lose on purpose?

Evans reminds me of Brandon Marshall at UCF. So good after the catch. And so strong.

Can Mike Evans win the heisman?

LOL. Great job by Auburn to finally get some pressure at the end. Texas A&M got robbed by an OBVIOUS horse collar. Couldn't happen to a more deserving douche.

Sammy Watkins is gonna have to play big tonight. I've watched many Clemson games this year and trust me, they struggle against decent defenses.. FSU has an elite one.

Game living up the hype so far but stay tuned to the other game, Ole Miss is leading by 10 points against LSU. Would be a major loss for LSU but they still have a quarter and a half.
