CFB 2023 Week 3: Is Syracuse Back?!?

cornwalls@6 · Sep 12, 2023

What a brutal slate. Unless my eyes are failing me, not one game featuring two ranked teams. And the most interesting game not until 10 PM EDT. If there’s anything good that comes out of next years brave new world, maybe it’s fewer of these kind of weekends.

Not a good early slate

Late games look good
(Tenn Florida, BYU Hogs)

And go Owls!

canderson · Sep 12, 2023

Florida is awful, that game won't be entertaining at all. Pitt v WVU is always a good slugfest, they despise one another.

BaseballJones · Sep 12, 2023

Big game for SU. I know Purdue isn't anywhere near an elite team, but a road win over a solid Big 10 team (9 wins in 2021, 8 wins in 2022) would be enormous for them.

WVU and Pitt will be a pillow fight, neither team is any good. With that being said, I'll still be there on Saturday night!

CU-CSU as game of the week? Don’t get me wrong, I’ll probably turn it on and watch a bit of the first half as I drift off to sleep, but I expect the Buffs to manhandle the Rams.

My GOTW pick would be Washington at Michigan State. The Spartans handled their first two opponents easily and will be fired up to change the subject from their former coach to the guys who are still in that locker room. They might not have the talent to beat UW, but they’ll bring their A-game.

Fair point, as a pure matchup, for fairly serious CFB fans, it’s a better on paper match up. But Prime is by far the story of the year to this point. And in a slate this weak, I absolutely think it’s the most interesting game. At least to me(outside of Notre Dame, but that’s my thing. Nobody who doesn’t follow them gives a damn about their scrimmage, of course).

Ale Xander · Sep 12, 2023

BYU Arkansas is the game of the week, folks.

Or perhaps the academic bowl in Durham

Don’t be surprised if CSU hangs in there for a while. They are making a QB change to a pretty talented red-shirt freshman (Fowler-Nicolosi) who can really sling it and the CSU WR room has some talent.

I had the same exact thought. Thankfully these types of weekends only happen about once a year. Hopefully this is that weekend for 2023. Also when was the last time Kansas was favored by 28 in football????

canderson · Sep 14, 2023

Miami was a 56.5 point favorite.

shawnrbu · Sep 15, 2023

That’s a big boy win for Army. 44:22 to 15:38 time of possession. 6 for 6 on 4th Down.

sucks Franco Harris was out for UTSA. He’s so fun to watch.

Is his name really Franco Harris? Because this post really confused me for a minute.

It’s Frank hut around there it’s a nickname of Franco. The starting QB.

Huh, thanks. I'll watch for him as the season goes on.

He’s one of the more exciting players in CFB. UTSA would’ve won with him I’m sure.

The coverage and free publicity Colorado has got on ESPN the last two days is crazy. Not just GameDay today, but First Take and Pat McAfee all did their shows from there yesterday. Even The Rock has been showing up.

Somebody here said the media would be Colorado’s best recruiter and they were right.

I think the Fox clowns are there too.

They've been there the last 3 weeks (also the Fox clowns have been blowing Gameday out of the water the last couple years+)

Clarification, they’re all clowns. I only need to watch the games. Same plan works great on Sunday, too.

Pushoff by the FSU WR

BC is trying to cheat, very dishonorable

shawnrbu · Sep 16, 2023

11 penalties in a Half is not the recipe for a program defining upset.

canderson · Sep 16, 2023

FSU’s QB Jordan Travis might have just broken his wrist or shoulder

Edit: well he has his helmet back on so maybe it was nothing? It looked bad

looked like he jammed his shoulder to me

A lot of awful performances - wow. Ohio beating Iowa State (not the Buckeyes, the other Ohio), Baylor Barkley leading a team that lost to a D2 iirc program, Ga Southern leading Wisconsin, Old Dominion dominating Wake, Illinois with three! turnovers yet only down 16-7 to Penn State.

SemperFidelisSox · Sep 16, 2023

15 penalties for BC.

luckiestman · Sep 16, 2023

The Noles are playing a little bit like shit but BC looks like they don’t practice. The amount of pre snap penalties is concerning.

canderson · Sep 16, 2023

Iowa State looks like they’d rather be anywhere else on earth than playing this game.

However Iowa State just kicked a FG I think was good they said wasn’t and didn’t review it.

shawnrbu · Sep 16, 2023

Haf chasing points.

It’s the correct call.

I think it’s the right call. Get it to a one possession game and they’d have to go for two eventually anyway.

canderson · Sep 16, 2023

Ohio picks off Iowa State and will win 10-7. That’s an awwwwwful loss. Yikes

That coach was getting NFL interest, should he have cashed in?

He absolutely should have but it's funny you phrase it that way because they lost a good amount of starters to being caught betting on games

ifmanis5 · Sep 16, 2023

Going for 2 and then not kicking the FG now makes no sense. Although they get the TD. Weird game.

95 yds in 2 mins against FSU is impressive.

scottyno · Sep 16, 2023

Going for 2 made a ton of sense despite the announcers continuing to harp on it. Not kicking the fg here made no sense, but hey it worked for BC

Ohio was a 1.5 point underdog. It wasn't a massive upset, Iowa State is a bad team.
