But this is why I love college ball and loath the NFL. You never know what you are going to see, anything can happen at any time.

Exactly. Can't wait for the nose tackle to jump over the centre and cripple the qb. This is a bull#### play by Tulane.

Doubtful. How often is the situation that a team is faking a knee instead of taking it to overtime? 99% of victory formation is when you're up and ending the game. Not a concern.
A concern? Michigan unsurprisingly getting curbstomped by Wisconsin. If Patterson comes out as the QB in the second half you may have a mass fan revolt. Rough game to watch.

I hate the CBS colour guy. It’s been 2 or 3 years and I still can’t believe he defended that POS RB for the Sooners. Called him a stand up guy. Scumbag. I wish this was on ABC. Now that Vern’s retired my go to college PBP guy is Chris Fowler, even if it means we also get Herbstreit. Or on NBC with Flutie doing colour for Tirico.

Huge game, go Irish!!
Don't overly like their odds, but should be fun nonetheless...I think

I want to be positive. But when was the last time the Irish didn’t rip my heart out in a big game vs top 5/10?
Last time vs Georgia. Miami...ugh don’t remind me, I was there. Florida St, Clemson in the last few years too.

I will say watching big college games like this is brutal though. 2 hours 20 minutes in and there is still 6:20 left in third quarter...

You wrote “frikkin awesome” wrong. Commercial? Flip to Texas and OK State. Commercial there? SJS and Arkansas. Still need something else? #PAC12afterDark with UCLA and Wazzu just started. College football Saturdays rule even when my team gets boat raced.

Maybe the most absurd football game ever played.
Wazzu qb throws 9 TD's and were ahead by 32 pts in the 2nd half...and they lose.
The stats from this game are absolutely bonkers.

Last year Washington State rushed for 0 yards one game. Mike Leach can’t be accused on not fielding entertaining teams.

No arguement there. Clemson is a very good team, they just won't really be tested from here on in. Plenty of time to tune up their already impressive game but they have zero room for stumbling this year.

Heading down to the Swamp next weekend to cheer on Auburn, it's going to be a huge SEC matchup. I've never been to a game down there, wish it was a night game but will probably be CBS 3:30 EST game. WAR EAGLE!

This is bizarre but maybe the start of a trend (?).
Houston starting QB and receiver are redshirting the remainder of the season but say they are not entering the transfer portal and will return next year.

And down goes Cal, the last undefeated team in the PAC12. Top to bottom this might be the most balanced conference in the country.

I know nothing about college football, should I go to the Georgia Tech-Georgia game when i'm in Atlanta at the end of November?
I would call myself a casual CFL/NFL fan.

Yes. A college football game is not going to watch a game, it's having an experience. Get to campus early. I don't know if the tailgating there is as crazy as some of the other places, but it will likely still be a cool experience.
The game will likely be Georgia destroying Georgia Tech. A college football game is the best non Flames playoffs game experience I've had at live sports.

Yes...college football games are amazing.
Sooooo much more energy than most any sporting event.
As nik mentioned, go really early...like if its a 3:00 game go down at 11 or 12.
Tailgating on another level in every place I have gone.
