That's incredible video. Perfect positioning by the person recording and it's like the whole thing was scripted by Hollywood, which is kinda perfect for a mass meetup in front of a movie theater.

#3 Montana and #4 Montana State both won handily. @#2 S Dakota St barely beat unranked UC Davis 24-22, could drop.

[O Really]

It may be my first time that all the teams I usually follow managed to win. Not likely to happen again.

That's pretty much it for the first team. Other preferences are usually game to game.

The narrow loss to an FBS team won't hurt NDSU . Montana will stay #2.

Well, I couldn't reasonably expect two weekends in a row where most everybody wins. Overall not too bad, though. UNC remained undefeated and the Husky game was fun to watch as well as the App ending.

Too bad about the Damn War Eagles, though. They might be looking for another entry in their revolving coach's door.

And the Terps!

Maybe the coach would do better if they painted the field blue.


AP Top 25

I still don't like any of the Top Ten.
North Carolina State (3-0) is up 4 to #12.
Penn State (3-0) is up 8 to #14. Thanks for nothing, WDE.
Oregon (2-1) is up 10 to #15.
Washington (3-0) hangs in there at #18.
BYU (2-1) dropped 7 to #19. Thank you, Ducks.
Your Miami (2-1) dropped 12 to #25.
Appalachian State (2-1) drops 1 to (#28), fair enough.
North Carolina (3-0) is up 1 to 29. Not playing is strategic.
Not even 1 vote for Maryland (3-0) after beating SMU? I guess they'll have to turtle-stomp @#4 Michigan on Sat to get some love.

What an idiot move to hire him. He's a fucking disaster. He's obsessed with a qb who has proven to have reached his peak 3 years ago, the looks great but hasn't progressed mentality. He's still the same great high school qb.
Harsin also has an exciting qb who shows some greatness, but he pulls him out after any mistake.

Light at the end of the tunnel. We have a new AD and president who seems committed.

They may not be brave enough for a mid-season firing, but
there's always hope.

Scott Frost and coach Bluefield shows that a standout high school, a 2nd tier conference coach doesn't necessarily fit into a top program.

I'm not sure that he's got anything else
