4 or more or 3 or more? cause if 3 or more you're in the money.

Holy cow.

Yes, I started watching it in the nick of time.

Spoiler: show

Hahahahahaha! One of my alma maters is playing, USF. We have it on but I'm not watching.

Oh sorry Epi, another Army win.

Well G-Man you were right after all.

Go go go CFP committee - Alabama is obviously the one to put into the playoffs. I'm so nervous - announcement at noon today.

I see them dropping to #2 since Oklahoma's loss was worse. It's even possible that they retain #1 because of Clemson's sketchy loss to Syracuse.

Noooooo they lost to Auburn so they're out. Oh well. Next year is another year.

Lol G-Man that is funny! I'm not a basketball fan but I know the NBA playoffs can't match the insanely crazy passion for March madness. I even occasionally watch it when it gets to that point but I never watch the NBA.

Thats very interesting GMan. I find college football superior to the NFL because most of the time I get the feeling the players in the NFL are just all about the money and many times are indifferent to their play. And not all college stars are bad when they move to the NFL. Some colleges play a more pro style offense and even those that don't like Alabama produce some awesome NFL players. So mostly for me its the passion with which the game is played in college that wins me over. A lot - though I'm sure not all - of those kids care whether they win or lose or even just get the opportunity to play. As for the fans, you've not seen rabid fans until ou go to Alabama during football season, and if possible the Auburn-Alabama game. The state is divided between Alabama and Auburn and people are just wild about their team. Families (like mine) are divided. It's a lot of pure, uncomplicated fun and a nice break from the stress of real life.

So, nobody watches college football here? You're missing out! It's better than the NFL and I love the NFL. So much more emotion in college and nerve wracking if you're pulling for a particular school.

Hard to believe the season has finally started. We (Alabama) play FSU tonight and I'm nervous as hell. Usually we play some school like Barton College for the first game of the season but no, this time we have to play a powerhouse. Hate to lose right out of the gate. Well, root for us! We're on at 8:00. Who's your team this year?
