It's common knowledge that Hezbollah and hamas have always had their differences. Hamas prefers to  bomb jews while Hezbollah insists on beheading them. That coupled with a disagreement at their last meeting over a camel between leaders has left their relations rocky at best.

At least they're out.

I just noticed that Atlanta hosts back to back football games in weeks 1 and 2 in 2020. Georgia vs Virginia is no surprise being there, but September 12 NC and Auburn play there as well.

I'll have to re-look into Miami Ohio vs Louisiana although I initially choose Louisiana I believe. But for the championship I'm going Clemson.

Ohio and southern miss.

Yeah I'm down to participate. Are those your actual picks? That confident in the bills over the Texans? Is Watson injured or something haha. I haven't been following NFL nearly as much as college this season.

Damn it. The 2 bowl games I said were designed to make the big 10 and group of 5 good were wake Forest v Michigan State, and Boston college vs Cincinnati respectively. I tried to be optimistic hoping BC could make it backfire on them but nope. Should've been UNC and Pitt in those 2 games. BC should've never got a tier 1 bowl to begin with, and wake was missing the top WR in the nation at the time of his injury that did EVERYTHING for them. Pretty lame and obviously deliberate in my opinion, and they got the desired results. Pitt lost to Penn State marginally less than Memphis did, and UNC torched the temple who beat Memphis (that beat cinci twice). A big lol at announcers saying wake was undoubtedly the 2nd best team in the ACC the whole time while saying Michigan State had a bad year but this is a testament to how good the big 10 is. Gtfoh. No wonder their fans think they're better than the sec listening to that garbage.

Jeez. I hope that first throw by Fromm doesn't set the tone for him tonight. Yeah, I thought it could be a toss-up. Baylor is going to be more hungry for it that's for sure, and is known to be the team with the most hustle. I keep banking on Georgia to bounce back after set backs.... we'll see.

Still can't believe Auburn let Minnesota win. I missed it(finally back in NC). I definitely thought it was possible that Minnesota would pick their secondary apart. I have no idea if that happened or not, but I imagined it being a high scoring game. Didn't count on Auburn putting up 60% of the points I thought they would though.

I'm now seeing OSU fans post nothing but Minnesota > SEC stuff, living life vicariously through the golden gophers...

I might come back before kick-off and change Georgia State to Wyoming, though. That's the only one.

On that spreadsheet I picked against the big 10 except penn state and michigan state haha. But, Illinois v. California may as well be a coin flip. I picked Cal initially based on my big 10 hate mostly. But, I do think that the big 10's 'powerhouse defense' stats are completely untrue because outside from a couple teams they just have zero offense... and they play no one out of conference so they all just pretend it's from their fantastic defense as a conference collectively. I'll stick with Cal then.

WKU, Louisville, Cal, Florida are my picks.

MAN people are making a big deal about the officiating last night. It's like they had a whole script prepared worshiping the ground OSU walks on and they're pissed because they lost and couldn't use it.

Funny stat to share with OSU fans:

NC held clemson to 331 total yards and 21 points.
OSU allowed 417 total yards and 29 points.

If it's fair to judge clemson on their performance against NC all season long, then it's fair to compare OSU to NC 

You'd think that a fanbase that has been humbled again and again would actually start being a tad humble but nope, not the suckeyes. They deserve every bit of it.

I agree with all of that. LSU looks unstoppable.

It all depends on how well Clemson's defense does against the best offense/qb in the nation. If they keep lsu under 30 points, clemson had a very good shot. If they score over 50 like against everyone else, then no.
