Bold predictions, outlandish opinions, and much more!

Read More College Football Week 3 Expert PicksSo we’ve finally made it…I think? Three Power 5 conferences intend to play college football this Fall and two are starting this weekend, the Big 12 and ACC, most of whom are playing a pathetic slate of non-conference games.

His team was up 35-7 with just three minutes to go before halftime and while they weren’t going to blow that lead against Mississippi State, there was really no need to remove his starting QB before halftime.
