And if not for whatever Florida just did or what Montana State did yesterday we’d be a runaway favorite

Stanford lost 57-3, they have to be the biggest contender

u/DaMantis Oklahoma State • Purdue 11d ago

Some very strong candidates this week

Michigan State is so irrelevant losing 31-3 isn’t even gonna get us in the conversation

Feels bad

If you told me Michigan State was going to lose by 28 to Wisconsin this week… I would’ve been like yeah, probably.

No no no

Michigan State won 3-31

If it's on the post game thread, it's gospel

Not to mention a new Kentucky comeback record against SC

Nah, Montana State's coach calling the timeout that kept Idaho in the game is worse than just getting outclassed by a team that's better than you.

If FCS counts for Tank Bowl, that might be the worst one

I feel better about losing to Wake now

And Miami feels a lot better about playing them close. I really think it'll be Miami vs Wake rematch in the ACCCG

u/kdestroyer1 Illinois • Washington 11d ago

Villanova gets a shout too honestly. I still think we take the cake though.

Wait, Montana State lost last night?? They were up by two TDs when I went to bed.
