Anticipated routs not included, GO:

12:00 PM EDT
@ Maryland Terrapins 4-1 (-3) > Purdue 3-2. TV: BTN GO Terps!
Damn, Terps missed a PAT in the 4th, then a 2pt attempt with 0:35 to go.
@ (19) Kansas 5-0 > (17) TCU 4-0 (-7). TV: FS1
Sinful abortionists vs misogynist god.
Awww, 31-38, just 3-10 at the half, then it got nutty, amazing serial TD catches. They alone would make a SportsCenter highlight reel for the day.
Texas (-8.5) > @Oklahoma. TV: ABC
49-0!!! Oklahoma was #6 just 3 weeks ago.
Buffalo (-2) > @Bowling Green. TV: ESP+
2 point spread? It's going to be a Bowling Green Massacre.
As I predicted, 38-7!
@ Florida (-10.5) > Missouri. TV: ESNU
24-17
@ (25) LSU > (8) Tennessee (-3). TV: ESPN.
Small spread, wide rank gap . Knock TN out of the Top 10.
Nope, 13-40

3-3, 3-4 overall.

Auburn 3-2 > @(2) Georgia (-28). TV: CBS Upset of the day!

Scoreless at 5:49 1st is a moral victory.
Edit: Scoreless at 11:48 2nd is a big moral victory.

Yeah, but 42-10 is still a butt-kicking. Sorry billy.p. Maybe Coach Bluefield will be departing sooner.

It was my extreme Pollyanna mode, O Really, and I STFU 2 seconds before Georgia's first score.

Anticipated routs not included, GO:

3:30 PM EDT
Texas Tech @(7) Oklahoma State (-9.5). TV: FS1
Aww, so close. TT hung in there for 3 4/5 quarters, 31-41.
@(18) UCLA 5-0 > (11) Utah (-3.5). TV: Fox
42-32! Hedonists trounce Mormons.
Auburn 3-2 > @(2) Georgia (-28). TV: CBS Upset of the day!
Georgia beat the spread, as I predicted.
East Carolina > @Tulane (-3). TV: ESNU
Nope, 9-24

4:00 PM EDT
North Carolina 4-1 > @Miami 2-2 (-3.5). TV: ESN2
Nobody gives UNC any respect.
UNC barely hangs on to win 27-24. Congrats, O Really! Inching towards a ranking?
(21) Washington 4-1 (-13.5) > @Arizona State TV: P12N
Valiant effort to come back from the ugly 2nd quarter deficit, came up short, 38-45. Sorry, O Really, the problem with RVs is that it's harder to hide from one's spouse.

2-3 [Auburn > @(2) Georgia (-28) was a joke], 5-7 overall.

[O Really]

Lady O loves her football and can yell at the screen with the best. But the good thing is she gets over it quickly.

BTW, is the University of Maryland really changing their name to "Tarheels"?

Nah, the Terps have mostly always sucked, I believe inferior to UNC most years.

Ah, it's closer that I would have guessed.

Damn, there's a website for everything, no matter how mediocre the topic is.

UNC leads head-to-head 37-32-1.
UNC .559 ALL-TIME RECORD, MD .519.
UNC 0 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, MD 1 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Hah!
UNC 10 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS, MD 11.
UNC .417 15-21-0 BOWL RECORD, MD .464 12-14-2.
UNC 15 CONSENSUS ALL-AMERICANS, MD 12.
UNC 247 NFL DRAFT PICKS, MD 223.
UNC 25 FIRST ROUND NFL DRAFT PICKS, MD 17.
UNC 262 WEEKS IN AP POLL, MD 193.
UNC 1 WEEK AT AP NO. 1, MD 6 WEEKS.

This is fair to do since all of MD's good years were in the ACC, and long ago. If one weighted each metric equally, which is surely incorrect, the tally is UNC 6, MD 4. Let's just agree to call them the Terp Heels or the Tarps.

@New Mexico > Wyoming (-3.5). TV: CBSS
Take that, democracy-hating Cheney-haters, 27-14.
Appalachian State 3-2 (-19) > @Texas State. TV: ESP+
Oh nooo, 24-36. Next year.

Catholics > Mormons 28-20. Bye-bye Top 25?

8:00 PM EDT
@(14) North Carolina State (-3.5) > Florida State. TV: ACCN
WOW, NCSU came back from being down 3-17, made an end zone INT with 38 seconds left, 19-17!

9:00 PM EDT
(12) Oregon 4-1 (-13.5) > @Arizona. TV: P12N
Ducks are crushing it early in the 4th, 49-16. I'll count it.

4-1, overall 9-8, yippie!

Also:
I don't hate @(15) Wake Forest 45 > Army 10, though I won't add it to my tally since Wake Forest was favored by 16 and I didn't declare it.

TAMU came thaaat close to beating Bama for the 2nd year in a row, this time @Bama - one last play from the Bama 2. I was hoping they'd run after marching down the field throwing, but they didn't, 20-24. Oh well, Bama may drop back below GA. I didn't make the wish since Bama was favored by 24.

Unranked South Carolina 24, @(13) Kentucky (-5) 14. I really should have wished for it. FU Rand and Moscow Mitch.

@Utah State 34, Air Force (-10.5) 27. I really should have wished for it.

Tom Brady signs Jackson State QB Shedeur Sanders to clothing brand’s first NIL deal

Tom Brady has landed his first NIL deal.

Jackson State quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who is the son of coach Deion Sanders, signed a NIL deal with Brady’s clothing brand on Thursday. It marks the first NIL deal that the Brady Brand has since since it launched earlier this year.

I'm sure there are lots of considerations and that not all are altruistic, but good on the GOAT for making his first NIL deal be with an HBCU player.

... Shedeur Sanders, a former three-star Rivals.com recruit, initially committed to Florida Atlantic before he landed at Jackson State to play for his father. He’s led the program to an impressive 5-0 start this season while completing more than 73% of his passes with 1,713 yards and 17 touchdowns to just two interceptions.

The sophomore racked up more than 3,200 passing yards and 30 touchdowns last season....

[Vrede too]

Now I'm hearing Mr Prime Time Neon Deion is under consideration.
I may have to become a bammer.

Because he attended Florida State? Perfectly good reason to me.

He's doing pretty good at Jackson State, 16-5.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deion_Sanders

I don't believe you grow up with his level of bragging, showmanship and entitled attitude without it sticking....

Aha, I stumbled on the real reason.

... Sanders made an interception with 5 seconds left to seal Florida State's 13–7 win over Auburn in the 1989 Sugar Bowl, during the 1988 postseason....

Looks like it may be a long day for billy.p. Sorry.

On a lighter note, it's a beautiful fall day in Durham, and UNC has a good opportunity to assure a successful season by beating Dook at their house and becoming bowl-eligible. Or they could find creative ways to blow it. We'll see.

The U is so far off to a good start.

Go Vols!
Go Terps!
Go Huskies!

But do we get any of those games here? Except for TN-AL, nooooo! We do get Iowa State/Texas and Oklahoma State/TCU, so I guess we shouldn't whine.
