Rivalry Week

[Bobref]

So many great rivalry games this week. Which ones are you keeping your eyes on?

Indiana vs . Purdue is #1 for me just because of the historic implications for the Hoosiers. Ohio State vs. Michigan #2 just to see if the Buckeyes can beat  the Wolverines and setup a showdown for the Big Ten Championship with the Hoosiers. Auburn vs. Alabama #3 as that game you can throw the records out the window, hoping the Tigers can beat the Tide. Georgia vs . Georgia Tech #4 as another rivalry game that usually is tightly contested. Texas vs. Texas A&M as I think A&M is going to take their first loss

Ditto. Will also throw in Vandy vs Tennessee this year given implications for Vandy and their QB. Always intrigued about Oregon vs UDub.

The Egg Bowl has an interesting side story, as everyone tries to figure out what Lane Kiffin is going to do.

It’s a done deal, Kiffin is as good as gone

Agree….is LSU a forgone conclusion? Is he sitting back and letting Florida and LSU bid it out? I keep reading DeBoer possibilities to Penn State…any chance he’s holding out for Bama??

Ole Miss Athletic Director Keith Carter said that conversations have been had and that an announcement about Kiffin's future is expected on the Saturday after the Egg Bowl (November 29). I’m pretty sure they also said previously that, if he decides to leave, and Miss. makes the playoff, he would not coach the team.

LSU seems to be the popular choice, but with the governor getting involved, why would anyone want to be a part of that crap show? If he were staying at Ole Miss, I think they would have announced it already

Got my threads mixed up. Trying to do too much at once. I can’t multitask like I used to.

Notre Dame and Stanford!😊

Not sure if real or AI enhanced. Player was penalized, but not ejected. Bob, if real, isn’t this automatic disqualification?

Judgment call, based on all the circumstances.

Both are true.

Michigan guarding their M at midfield after the game was the best defense they played all game.
