What is the I-A GOTW?

Those are good games, but I feel that the Clemson/Notre Dame game is important. Clemson has had it easy. They beat Wofford, App State and Louisville. Those teams don't inspire much confidence. Is Clemson really a Top 15 Team? Notre Dame has beat #14 Georgia Tech. They did beat up on UMass and Texas, so maybe they don't deserve to be #6. Either way, I think this week, Week 5, we finally see if Clemson and Notre Dame belong where they are. They've had tune up games for a couple of weeks now.

Edit: Georgia Tech lost to Duke!?!! Are you kidding me? Oh, man. Going into Conference Play almost effectively knows GT out of the playoffs and is hurting Notre Dame.

No worries.

I've been waiting for Week 5. I hope this game doesn't disappoint me.

Went with WVU at Oklahoma. Want to see if the 'Neers are for real.

I went with Notre Dame/Clemson - big test for the Irish going on the road to Death Valley.

With that said, the Georgia/'Bama game should be great as well. Hopefully Georgia is for real because watching 'Bama lose is always tv-worthy.

I feel the same way about Georgia/Bama. Honestly, I'd love it if Georgia lost. Alabama fell in the rankings so an underdog win would be great for them and Richt needs a loss to keep him humble.

Homer vote: TTU @ Baylor.

I was AT the TTU/TCU game this weekend....what a barnburner. If Tech's QB is healthy Saturday, this one could be a similar shootout....and it'll be in Jerrah Jones' World....

Going with your son to see your daughter -

Doing a boneheaded move and leaving your tickets 400 miles away -

Doing a save on the tickets

Great game to watch -

Final play -

I'm gonna guess I'm not the first guy to do that. Tech has a very smooth system for replacing tickets.

Historically, Christians haven't fared well against wild animals.

Well, maybe in Rome.

This is a big game for both schools. This should be the SEC game of the week.

Anyone wAtching UND at Clemson? I'm hoping Clemson isn't legit, but their defense looks strong. I know it's early.

I think we hit the nail on the head this week.

Bama destroyed UGA. And not just destroyed, beat up, let them heal and then beat them up again. 38-10. Bama clearly woke up Saturday, grabbed a few cans of kick ass and then proceeded to dry hump the Dawgs up and down the field.

Good job.

Clemson showed us that they are have a strong offense and a stronger defense. I'm not sure if it was weather or nerves but UND just couldn't connect. QB was overthrowing the receiver. Notre Dame couldn't catch. They got it together to put 19 points on Clemson, but it was too little too late. I think this game showed us that Clemson is a legit, Top 10 team. Notre Dame can still be a Top 10 team, but they have to work hard to prove it. Clemson, 24-22.

Eh, what that game showed was that Notre Dame isn't a great team in a deluge. Play that game in decent weather and all of a sudden Notre Dame receivers start holding on to balls that were skipping right through their hands. I think the ease of which Notre Dame came back in that game really casts a lot of doubt on the legitimacy of Clemson. Maybe they're a top 10 team, hard to tell, but they'll need to play better than that to be one and I doubt they could go toe to toe with a 'Bama or a team of that stature. Notre Dame will have their chance to bounce back - they still have USC and Stanford on the schedule, plus what should be an undefeated Temple team on Halloween.

Clemson's got an easy schedule - nothing other than really the home game in November against FSU.
