It's possible that ESPN College Gameday comes to UCF for the Oct 29th #21 Cincinnati game. It was announced game will be on either ABC at Noon or ESPN at 3:30pm.

Reportedly waiting to see if both UCF and Cinci win this weekend. A UCF win over ECU and probably move us into the top 25. Cinci plays SMU.

Here's hoping that happens!

This is going to be another weekend of great games. I still can't believe the GREEN WAVE! Ole Miss should be renamed Near miss. Georgia looking the part for sure. Alabama may catch back up and Tennessee looking to keep it going. I still believe Clemson is over rated, along with Oregon. Texas is looking better, I think Cincinnati is good, you may get a very tough game with them but the UCF QB is on a roll for sure. I think in our state, the Gators are up against Georgia in two weeks, that will go badly and there's not much beyond that for them now that there numbers are bad and the east is beyond them. FSU has made some of the strangest coaching decisions in their close losses and they are pretty much out of contention, but the last game of the year, FSU vs. UF has FSU beating LSU and LSU beating the Gators. Its not a good sign for the gators, whose coaching decisions also leave the average wondering how or why a field goal is impossible every fourth down.

Syracuse at Clemson should be interesting.

Tulane sitting at #25 is also interesting. UCF visits Tulane in 3 weeks.

Thus, good chance for UCF to climb the rankings by beating Cinci and Tulane. But, gotta get by ECU this Saturday night 7:30pm ESPNU. UCF favored by 5 points.

For the Gators, they just need to keep playing. First year coach is always going to be rebuilding. Need to find a good Qb.

I'm just intrigued that Tennessee 'is back'. Something tells me they got a couple losses coming up after beating bama.

College GameDay on the line at Clemson? ESPN puts Syracuse on alert show could come for Notre Dame game

Other games that could be under consideration include Ohio State at Penn State, Oklahoma State at Kansas State and Cincinnati at UCF. ESPN has also occasionally taken the show to FCS schools.

ECU put a wooping on UCF last night. ugly game ugly loss. ECU played freakin' great.

UCF falls to 5-2 but curiously enough still in the running for the Conference championship. Gotta win out.

CentroDavo ...... It could be worse; my squad found a record setting way to lose and totally embarrass themselves.

UCF smoked SMU 41 -19 and SMU almost beat Cinci 27-29. Could be alot worse like losing to a team that has a tree as a mascot and Marshall. 2 more loses coming back to back. Cuse and Clemson.

ESPN College Gameday is going to Jackson State next weekend. Neon Deion gets some air time.

A big week - UF did not lose y'day.

Gators staring down the barrel for next week. It's not going to be pretty.

Miami is TRASH

These teams were VASTLY over rated:

Okie St
Wake
Cuse
Cinci
S.Cocks

These teams are/were somewhat over rated:

TCU
Ky (note: Ky is still a top 25 team, imo)

First CFP rankings come out Tuesday night. They put a little more thought into their rankings.

Bryan Harsin fired as Auburn football coach

They should hire Dion Sanders.

The Auburn AD should be following him out the door.

This AD did not hire him, his predecessor did.

By "this AD" you mean the one that Auburn hired YESTERDAY?

Because Auburn was without an AD. The one that hired Harsin, "resigned" back in August. My bad for not remembering that and suggesting that "The Auburn AD should be following him out the door."
