"Official" NCAA Football Smack Talkin Thread

[Ratickle]

I was watching my Ducks!!! Hopefully that will put them in the top 4 on Tuesday's Playoff Ranking. Arizona losing to UCLA didn't help them in the power rankings though.....

I'm surprised they put FSU first. They haven't beaten one current Top 25 team as far as I know.

Holy Cow, the Illini beat Penetration State.
