2019 Week 8 CFB Open Thread

[Telekinesis]

um, don’t you have to be ON the rails at some point to be able to go off of them?

One of my old acquaintances is a Vols nut job. Trust me, they have never been on the rails. Guy had to resort to every SEC prayer in the playbook to hang his manhood on. Sad.

Minnesota has 6 AP national championships.
Tennessee has two.

Let's not start counting Depression era NCs. Otherwise all the scUM titles come into play.

Last Gopher NC was in <checks calendar> 1941. Not sure what that has to do with the fact that UT was a successful program in the middle of a good run when the Bama tie-in schedule was made. Whatever. I readily admit the way the cross division rivals are drawn up now is not fair to everyone in our conference.

Minny was #1 in the final AP poll in 1960. It was taken before the bowl game they lost, which made them the previous 2-loss national title team to 2007 LSU. And I can verify that you attended that LSU-tOSU game.

It’s week 9 lets go. Ahem

Nope. 1948, 1997. Those are the only 2 scUM AP national titles.

LSU might fall today also.

When I compare the two games, Ohio State's domination of Wisconsin in lousy weather is far more impressive than LSU's win against Auburn. Auburn did not impress me on defense. I realize that the announcers kept talking their defense up, but I think that Ohio State or Wisky could turn LSU into a one-dimensional passing attack and shut it down. My 2 cents. Ohio State should be #1.
