Fair enough, he didn't see a lot of the ref transgressions in favor of Auburn that I saw.

[O Really]

I'd rather blame Freeze than refs.

Freeze has worn his frustration on his sleeves this season. He’s been open with the media about Thorne’s mistakes, and week to week he’s expressed frustration about others’ key mistakes. Seeing as it’s a wholesale effort week after week by the offense to find ways to give the game the game away, it ultimately falls at the feet of Freeze.

Freeze has a quarterback who continually makes poor decisions with the ball either through the air or option-running game. Freeze continues to leave the fate of the Auburn Tigers at the hands of the decision making skills of his quarterback.

Missions accomplished.

Oregon rises to No. 1 in AP Top 25; Georgia to No. 2; Texas at 5

Oregon became the fourth team this season to hold the No. 1 ranking in The Associated Press college football poll, moving into the top spot Sunday for the first time in 12 years after Texas lost at home to Georgia.

Vanderbilt made its first appearance since the 2013 season, at No. 25, and defending national champion Michigan fell out after a second straight loss dropped it to 4-3.

Unbeaten Oregon followed its one-point home win over Ohio State with its first road shutout in 32 years, a 35-0 rout of Purdue, and received 59 of 61 first-place votes....

Miami prevailed in a wild game at Louisville and remained No. 6, and Tennessee rose four spots to No. 7 following its win over Alabama....

Chip Kelly coached the only other Oregon teams to reach No. 1. The 2012 Ducks, led by Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, were in the top spot for one week in November after following a 10-0 start with a loss to Stanford. The 2010 team, which lost to Auburn in the BCS title game, spent six weeks at No. 1....

Tennessee's 24-17 win over Alabama produced the biggest moves in the poll. The Volunteers jumped from No. 11 to No. 7. The Crimson Tide dropped eight spots to No. 15, their lowest ranking since 2010.

Good. billy.pilgrim smiles.

Texas' loss to Georgia was the first by a No. 1 team at home against a top-five opponent since Miami beat Florida State 17-16 in 1991.

Remember that one, O Really? I don't.

... Michigan, which scored its fewest points in a game since 2014 in its 21-7 loss at Illinois, had been ranked in 54 consecutive polls since 2021....

Ouch.

Wednesday
Liberty 5-1 24, @Kennesaw State 1-6 27
I didn't bother making a wish because Liberty was favored by 27.5. I'm counting this as a win

Kennesaw State gets program's first FBS victory and ends Liberty's 17-game regular-season win streak

Kennesaw State (1-6, 1-2 Conference USA) also picked up its first win against a Division I team since topping FCS-member UT Martin on Nov. 5, 2022. The Owls had wins over lower-level Tusculum, Lincoln (Calif.) and Virginia Lynchburg last season.

Liberty (5-1, 3-1), which entered as one of 11 unbeaten teams in FBS, had the longest active regular-season winning streak end at 17 games....

ESPN reported it was the first time in 23 years a team 0-5 or worse defeated a team 5-0 or better.

The Kennesaw, GA fans must have gone nuts over this FBS rookie season win over a good (and godly ) team
