    I'll join the parade that says ABC showing Baylor/UT at 6:00pm and LSU/A&M at 11:30am is just plain dumb. Like everyone else, I'll watch K-State/WV instead.

    These gametimes are decided 10 days in advance, right? If so, then WVU was undefeated at the time, and Texas only had 1 loss. Both LSU & A&M had 1 loss at that point.

    Besides, is the ABC Primetime game ever an SEC game? I always thought the ABC games were Big10/Big12/Pac10/ACC games because CBS always gets first option on the best SEC game.

    Sorry, that came out completely confused. KSU-WVU (two undefeateds) and BU-UT (two one-loss teams) would have been the two options when looking at it 10 days ago, and would have been the primetime games for ABC and FOX (in whatever order). LSU-A&M, as an SEC game, wouldn't be on ABC primetime coverage, I wouldn't think.

    They chose the right one and I'm going to ignore the other.

    Actually, CBS used the 6-day window on the SEC games so ESPN had the option of putting A&M-LSU in the evening or morning slot after all the games ended last week.

    Anyone else see Mariota's run just now? I'd like to see him race RG3 to see who the fastest QB in football is.

    Amazing to me they can't recruit one. That offense is flat out bad.

    Stick a fork in VaTech. Clemson looking good. They should be 10-1 going into the South Carolina game.

    The offense wasted a good performance from the defense today. Only a matter of time before Clemson scored.

    Of course the refs walked Clemson to the endzone on the Ellington TD drive.

    Block in the back in the end zone for a safety puts Purdue up 22-14 with Braxton Miller knocked out of the game. The Horseshoe is quiet.

    Miracles still happen.

    Tech had a chance to get back in the game and they call that stupid play.
