I grew up in the Eastern Panhandle and like the state outline on the sides.

We are begging on DBR for FSU to go 1-11 with Duke being the 1. That team has one thing left for their season--to not be the team that lost to Duke.
Duke didn't look like a team that could beat FSU last night.

To be fair, we haven’t seen what a team looks like that couldn’t beat this FSU teamLeon County 5A: https://www.maxpreps.com/fl/tallahassee/leon-lions/football/standings/

No votes? We miss Steve Spurrier.
Yeah, Steve would have us about 10th by now.

Late 4th quarter wins over a UConn team that got blasted by about 50 points by Maryland are not a good way to win over the voters.

Good point although Texas did overtake UGA in the AP

UGA ain't #1 any more. The Longhorns leaped over them.
So, apparently Arch Manning is gonna be a good QB. Who knew a Manning could run?!?!

The "voters" likely were watching the UGA/UK game, I guarantee you none of them tuned in to ACCNx to see how two basketball schools faired. All that matters in games like ours is the box score showing a W.
(I'm guessing we don't see any votes until after we beat the cheaters.)
Jason, I assume you are being sarcastic about the Mannings running. His namesake was one of the great scrambling QBs of his time.

For whatever reason this story was interesting to me: from what I can tell, Wake and Ole Miss had a home and home. Ole Miss beat Wake 40-6 in W-S this weekend. Wake was supposed to go to Ole Miss next season. From what I can tell, Wake paid Ole Miss to cancel the return game. I'm assuming there was some kind of a contract and Wake made its contractually obligated payment to cancel the return game.
Ole Miss is whining that Wake broke an "unwritten rule" by doing this on fairly short notice since it will be hard for them to schedule a game for next year against a decent team. If Ole Miss didn't want to risk this happening, perhaps they should have had their lawyers write a better contract - seems very obvious to me. But I guess that's not how they do business in the SEC.
Please tell me if I am missing something here. The article makes no mention of what Wake might do to make up the game - I assume they are less concerned about playing a top team and can fill it with a smaller school.

Kiffin: Wake's game buyout broke 'unwritten rule'
Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin says Wake Forest violated "an unwritten rule" by buying its way out of next year's matchup, leaving the No. 5 Rebels, who defeated the Demon Deacons 40-6 Saturday in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in search of another opponent.

The SEC actually has a rule where each of their teams are required to play another power conference team (or Notre Dame) every season. Wake bailing out of this contract (they apparently had to pay a $1 mil cancelation fee) puts Ole Miss in a tough spot. They will either need to find another P4 team to play (I wonder if the old Pac 12 teams would count, Oregon St and Wash St) or they have to get a waiver from the SEC.For whatever reason this story was interesting to me: from what I can tell, Wake and Ole Miss had a home and home.
