It’s the Cheesiest! Michigan won in a way none of us will remember. Texas is playing against an overrated TCU. Oregon is playing Washington. It’s a good night to build a fire and get 1/2 deep in your whiskey.

TAMU sucks, imagine people acting like you're underrated while being top 10 for no other reason than buying a bunch of recruits and then not make a bowl game.

Is he considered a freshman or a sophomore? Can he declare after next year? I wonder how it's going to work with with Manning next year. If it's just one year I'm sure Manning will just wait, but if it's 2 years, who knows if he's willing to sit on the bench for 2 years.

I will never understand why a team decides to play non press coverage on 3rd and short when you need a stop. Texas just handed TCU a completion to effectively end the game.

Big win for TCU, if they can get past the next two they earned it, they should have been in the first playoff in 2014. Easily the most successful school in Texas in the last decade +

My take on the P5 conferences:

 

ACC - Trash. 

B1G - Michigan/OSU then PSU then trash.

BIG XII - TCU is entertaining then you guessed it… trash all the way down. 

Pac-12: Fancy trash. Maybe it’s the neatly bagged trash in a really upscale community where the boxes have to be tied with a string.

SEC - Georgia/Tennessee then LSU then trash. And yes that includes Bama.

Seems like the CFP is shaping up to be: UGA, Mich/OSU winner, TCU, Tennessee

If TCU loses, that opens up the floodgates.  Next in line is Mich/OSU loser most likely. Not sure how I’d rank the other 3 contenders, which are TCU, USC/UCLA winner and UNC/Clemson winner

Yes all 3 would be 1 loss conference champs but I think UM/OSU have made a strong enough case that they are unequivocally one of the 4 best teams. Only hesitation is would they really take 2 teams that didn’t win their conference over 3 other conference champions who all have the same number of losses?

Between next week @Baylor and then their championship game, I doubt that TCU comes out undefeated. It's just very, very hard to do.

So probably Georgia, UM/OSU winner, Tennessee, UM/OSU loser

Hard to believe one-loss TCU or one-loss Clemson/UNC is going to be a "better" loss than whoever loses the game.

Watching UCLA struggle with Arizona is making me appreciate way more the less than exciting, totally dominating, performances Michigan has put up in their past couple home games.

This Arizona-UCLA game is nuts to watch.

You have guys taking 13 step drops, RBs breaking big runs left and right.

The QB just took a 20 yard sack...but it doesn't matter because the next play will be a 40 yard pass.

Half the defense is chasing the QB through the backfield and he outruns them all just to throw an arm-punt up for grabs on 4th down and now it's a turnover on downs.

The only one making any kind of sense is Charbonnet, who will probably hit the 200 yard mark! Possibly in a losing effort!!

This game is wild. Like if Indiana at peak CHAOS played Purdue at peak Mad Scientist.
