Sorry to break it to you, but they would probably renew his deal for more money. He's quite popular.

To be fair like every game today has huge favorites on one end. Week 1 kinda a shitty line up this year

I wish they’d get former players and coaches on the show again. I’m tired of seeing actors and singers up there who obviously don’t know much about football. Like yea they’re fans and that’s cool. But it’s an analysis show, I want people on there who know what they’re talking about.

How braindead do you have to be to think Miami even has a chance of winning over 8 games

u/heleghir Kentucky Wildcats • Sickos Sep 05 '26
With as weak as the ACC is? And their charmin soft schedule with ND on the road being the hardest game? Only takes one working braincell.

Miami has a better chance to win 9+ games than FSU does at winning 3 games.

Why on earth are they picking Alabama vs ECU?

u/GatorBoy669607 Florida Gators Sep 05 '26
Because the internet needs content when the Pirates upset Bama

u/10_17my20 Penn State Nittany Lions • Sickos Sep 05 '26
Can we mandate guest pickers do the tiniest bit of research instead of picking because I married an X, I like Y animal, and I lived within a 10 hour drive of Z? It'd take an act of god for me to pick Penn State for anything, even if we'd already run the table

Politics and religion are like genitals, everyone’s got some kind of variety of them, but you shouldn’t be whipping them out in public, and you definitely shouldn’t be ramming them down people’s throats.

LSU fans chanting overrated to the defending national champs is very SEC “South will rise again” bullshit coded.

Every LSU fan I know was in IU’s corner last year. They were chanting it at Notre Dame who’s perennially overrated and have a cupcake schedule

You ever go to a dinner with a group and the only other cool people are on the other side of the table and the most annoying people are in the middle so the dinner conversation sucks and you cant wait for after dinner drinks so you can mingle with the other people who actually have personalities?
Anyway, this gameday desk huh?

Lainey Wilson might be exaggerating her accent but she isn't totally making it up-- why is mcafee doing one every time he talks to her? Patronizing ass

u/Johnny_Handsum LSU Tigers Sep 05 '26
They're talking about Ole Miss and Trinidad Chambliss. Why aren't they talking about how he's currently playing after being ruled ineligible by the NCAA multiple times and getting an Ole Miss judge to grant him an injunction for his 6th year. He skipped the draft and is 24 years old, surely he should be considered a pro by now.
Fair is fair, right r/CFB?

I'm genuinely surprised with the lack of Oregon discussion there for the natty

They're my pick because Moore is coming back and they made it further in the playoffs last season than they did the year before

I'm not, I would have included you guys. Things can change as the weeks go by, but you guys are a better pick than Texas at this point.
