Well last week was rather exciting wasn’t it. As expected by some, the Clemson - Auburn game was close. A lot closer than the national media thought. But the important thing is Clemson left Auburn with a win.
This week the games aren’t quite as interesting. Virginia Tech does have an opportunity to bounce Tennessee around, and there is the Holy War out in Utah, but other than that Mississippi State against South Carolina may be the best game of the weekend. Or if you like mercy killings there are plenty of FBS-FCS games going around.
So once Clemson beats Troy I recommend going outside and doing something. Give your significant other an opportunity to see you on a fall Saturday.
As always use this as the open thread to discuss all the non-Clemson games during the week. We’ll have a gamethread up for the game so that we can all drink in celebration, or something.
