I'm shocked E-SECSECSEC-PN even has this on their website. GA State's coach publicly called out the SEC refs after the game

Wrong glass, Sir.
Fredo was looking forward to winning their first OOC game in like a decade against Army, but fate got in the way.

Paper,Rock, Scissors, Lizard, Spock!
Tressel absolutely ape fucced/broke that program when he built a wall around Ohio and kept scUM from recruiting Ohio talent. Without Ohio kids scUM is nothing.

Notre Dame could drop a game at this point, and still stamp their ticket... maybe even over an undefeated Cinci that beat them.
Next week is the hardest game on their schedule, and I'm not trying to talk up Cinci. Wiscy was the only hard opponent scheduled, and they're not good this year.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
How much do the "cup cake" schools get you ask:
College football guarantee games: Bowling Green got $1.45M – and stunning win vs. Minnesota
There has been a recent time-old tradition in college football that has become commonplace over the last 20 years and it has nothing to do with lame turnover gimmicks, the still controversial targeting rule or money-grabbing schools realignment plans.
But when it comes to the Benjamins, schools, especially those in the Power Five conferences, try every year to pad win totals by essentially writing blank checks to those institutions in need of a boost in revenue to their athletics departments.
Week 4 in college football was no different. Seven teams were paid at least $900,000 to take a trip and try not to come home embarrassed, but with much fatter pockets.
Here are some of the big paydays from Saturday's play. Penn State played Villanova, which is a private institution and isn't obligated to reveal how much they received for the game.
Alabama-Southern Mississippi: $1.9 million
The defending national champions got an extra practice session in even though it was on a Saturday. The game was over when the Tide took the opening kickoff back for a touchdown. Alabama 63, Southern Miss 14.
Ohio State-Akron: $1.8 million
Akron, a seven-touchdown underdog, had to wait all day to receive its expected dog-walking, thanks to a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff time. Ohio State 59, Akron 7.
Maryland-Kent State: $1.5 million
Saturday's game was the first meeting between the schools in football. Let's hope it's the last. Maryland 37, Kent State 16.
Minnesota-Bowling Green: $1.45 million
Here is a clear case of robbing the bank without a gun. Bowling Green left Minneapolis with a nice victory and payday while only generating 194 yards of offense. Three Minnesota turnovers also helped. Bowling Green is the second MAC team to score a seven-figure payout and a win, joining Northern Illinois. The Huskies earned $1 million and beat Georgia Tech. Bowling Green 14, Minnesota 10.
