SE++ PICK'EM WEEK FLYS ARE ATTRACTED TO PIECES OF SHIT
Straight Up
#19 Virginia Tech @ #8 North Carolina (-5) - "You know, if that Tom Herman guy doesn't work out, Texas should look at hiring this young up-and-comer at North Carolina" is a joke that only works if one assumes that North Carolina is actually good and not "non-Clemson ACC contender" good. I'll let you decide which it is.
#22 Texas vs. Oklahoma (-2.5) - THE RED RIVER RIVALRY/SHOOTOUT/CLASSIC/SHOWDOWN! WINNER GETS TO PRETEND THEIR SEASON CAN STILL HAVE MEANING, WHILE THE LOSER IS DEFINITELY FIRING SOMEONE!
#4 Florida (-6.5) @ #21 Texas A&M - I appreciate the polls still choosing to rank A&M after last week specifically to give this matchup some intrigue, but let's be brutally honest and say the only intrigue is if the Aggies cover in their loss or not. Which, again, is not a good thing considering how much they're paying Jimbo Fisher! You could have had a slightly-used Dan Mullen for a fraction of the cost, Aggies! (Also I appreciate A&M being ranked one spot ahead of Texas who is definitely not their rival)
Against the Spread
#14 Tennessee @ #3 Georgia (-12.5) - I will be honest and say Tennessee is catching Georgia at the perfect opportunity. They're coming off a huge statement win over Auburn, and have to play Alabama next week. This is the definition of a look-ahead game and the Volunteers can make a statement of their own here. I will also be honest and say that none of this matters because Georgia is much more talented than Tennessee and should win comfortably.
Arkansas @ #13 Auburn (-13.5) - If Auburn loses this game how fast does Gus Malzahn get fired?
Kansas State @ Texas Christian (-8.5) - Winner of this game gets the Golden Hat. Sorry, I didn't write the rules.
GAME OF THE CENTURY OF THE WEEK (AGAINST THE SPREAD)
#7 Miami @ #1 Clemson (-13.5) - It is time to finally answer one of the age-old questions: is Miami back? Answering the question is rather simple in this case: Clemson is an absolute monster, and outclass the Hurricanes at most positions, but if Miami can keep things competitive for an entire game, they'd have an argument for being back. And hey, that's where the bar is at now for Miami, which is fine. Incremental progress is perfectly acceptable in college football, but you have to live up to expectations for that to be the case.

Arkansas? The team that beat the team that won the national championship? I dunno, I don’t like Auburn’s odds.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Betting on Arkansas or Mike Leach is a terrible idea in all situations.
The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

Does OU have a backup QB? Rattler is not ready yet.

Rattler is generally fine, and hasn't been the problem in their losses. OU is just wilting.

The A&M Florida game is a hoot and a holler, four point difference going into the fourth.
Maybe Jimbo shows he’s deserving of his ahahahahaha I can’t even finish that statement

Also nobody at this game is social distancing or wearing a mask

The clock management and time out usage in this game is infuriating.

VA Tech is making a 2nd half comeback out scoring NC 23-7 in the third quarter and only down by 5 heading into the 4th.
E: and as soon as I posted, commentators came up with the stat that NC has one of the best 4th quarter scoring differential in recent FBS history :rotate:

Guys, what's the phone number for the fire marshal cause the SEC is a dumpster fire right now.

Correction: Texas is good in the very narrow circumstance of being down two TDs in the last five minutes.

That's basically an accurate description of what just happened though.

You act like betting on Auburn isn't like invoking the chaos gods to transplant you into a dimension where you and only you are wrong

Did they not watch any of his Nebraska D's post Suh and Lavonte David. They were horrid.
