Getting it started early this week.

Looks like UGA will be without Nolan Smith the rest of the year due to injury.

Clemson and TCU need to lose a game. Not as worried about other teams, as SEC/Big 10 will knock each other out.

Wow that’s a huge loss for Georgia, are they still the favorites to win it all? Big break for Tennessee.

If they get by UGA, they're probably the favorite to win the SEC East and play in the SEC CG. If Tennessee wins the CG against Alabama, UGA could potentially still make it to the CFP. If Bama wins, it'd be a real fight between all three for two spots.

Regarding OSU @ UW (Friday evening on ESPN2), it's usually an easy call whom I root for: Anything that hurts UW, even if it's OSU, especially because the Beavers have been a pretty innocuous program for the most part. But not this time. Even though a UW win probably helps its confidence going into its Duck game the following week, I just don't see the Huskies as good enough to beat Oregon in Eugene. But if the Beavers win in Seattle this week, I'd say we're most likely looking at a 9-2 OSU team in the top 20 licking its chops to see how it can mess up the Ducks' season in Corvallis Nov. 26 (and if the Ducks don't lose before then, maybe even a GameDay visit to Corvallis). So I'd much rather see the Beavers' confidence take a bit of a hit by losing this week, even some weeks before meeting the Ducks.

I'd rather see OSU win for the same reasons you laid out foe wanting them to lose. Beating a Top 20 9-2 team is better for the resume and an unexpected boost. Go Beavs.

The OSU/UW game may get ugly due to the weather conditions.

Man that's a big change from the forecast I saw for the game a few days ago which was pretty mild.

A reminder that it's wet the final third of the college season and for half the NFL schedule. If you can't play in the rain you can't win.

I'd say OSU would be favored in wet conditions with how they like to run the ball and UW throws it so much.

Lifelong rule: 1. Huck the Fuskies! 2. Buck the feavers!! 3. When they play each other, and since there is no longer tie games in college, refer to #1.

Oregon is up to -31.5.

Y'know, that is a point. But just the idea of losing to the Beavs . . . Uuuuugh . . .

Yes, currently looking very wet and possibly windy Friday evening in Seattle.

Michigan State suspending even more players for their roles in the fight after last week's Michigan game.
