This would be / will be awesome. I might be overly focused on rankings, but I think they are important for post season bowl discussions AND .... every week, every game .... matters.

Also, OSU is beating IU but they don't look dominant.

That's why I was excited as I was for Indiana University keeping close against Ohio State and look forward to #5 LSU vs #8 Gators Sunday night game.

Not having TV makes this thread especially useful!

wait, Wait, WAIT, WAIT!

What is this you don't have TV.

Confession: Neither do I but I can pretty much (99.999-100%) watch any sporting event. So what's the deal? I'm a GT nerd. I live with 3 other Tech geeks at GT - what can we do to solve this.

You have laptop or desktop computer, but can't see the sports you want? I literally think we can change that if you have even halfway decent internet connection. It doesn't even need to be a great connection and we (us nerds) should be able to finagle you all the UT football games plus a bunch (every) other sport. at a minimum, I can send you a link ANDDDD we can experiment right now. Oh, and it won't cost you anything?

Are you up for it?

Heck, I and other volnation people could just send links to thing we're watching that cost us nothing. Costing nothing almost a requirement amongst GT nerds even if we could afford to pay and watch.

And beat them both soundly. Especially LSU. Went in there house and smoked them like the pack of marlboros in my pocket

We gotta (maybe?) save your lungs and get you on a safe vape for nicotine at some point. It exists, I've personally transitioned 3 former smokers who hated vapes, that now love them, and their lungs have cleared to the point of the doctors no longer consider them to be smokers. (my grandfather was a tough sell, but now he wonders why he didn't investigate vaping farther than he initially did.

But, back to football.... ESPECIALLY LSU. Screw LSU.

How Clemson and LSU are ahead of Tennessee when Tennessee beat both is beyond me? What did LSU do that made people think they are a top 6 team?

While I understand the sentiment, the opening polls have little to do with what you did last season and more what they think you’ll do this season.

That's fine, obviously. My grand father used to smoke the marlboros that were/are fatter but shorter than normal size cigs, but was curious about vapes for the healthier aspect of them, so he went from not very safe vape that had "harsh factor" in his throat that he liked, to glycerine/nicotine safe vapes. That took about 1.5 years to get to the safe ones and hasn't looked back.

His tipping point was being able to vape secretly in public, pretty much anywhere. ie restaurants, grocery stores, etc,

He likes the social aspect of hudding with other smokers, so he still goes out for a smoke with other smokers, but he likes it that he doesn't have to in the middle of winter when it's raining.

Anyway, you do you.

He didn't even tell his doctor. Eventually his doctor asked him when he quit and he proudly said, "I didn't, I just vape now"

Doctor said his lungs are clear as a bell now and doesn't consider him a smoker.

IDK, I just wanted you to know there's an option out there that worked on a guy who smoked 1.5 packs per day of the "fatties" (fat marlboros)

Gotta worry about the micro plastics going into your lungs with vapes. I still use them, though. I don’t dip as much now.

True but what made people think LSU was a top 6 team? Tennessee pretty much beat Clemson with this year's team showing that there would not be as heavy of a drop off. Tennessee has also recruited well. The LSU at 6 and Tennessee at 12 makes 0 sense and even some streamers have agreed. To me, it was just about boosting that FSU vs LSU opening game. If you pay attention, the polls seem to be designed to boost early matchups as well.
