Please do not watch North Carolina vs Florida State. Thank you.

SMU might have the worst return teams play I have ever seen in my entire life.

I'd rather watch sPitt take on Miami.

@SBTribune: Notre Dame's contact tracing found that attendance at last Saturday's Florida State football game didn’t contribute to this week’s spike in positive COVID-19 test results, but off-campus tailgates and watch parties did. https://www.southbendtribune.com/news/local/notre-dame-experiences-new-spike-in-covid-19-cases-reminds-campus-of-need-for-vigilance/article_bc785f60-0ffa-11eb-b9b7-1ba04b89da12.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter_SBTribune

Games are really light this week. Big12 has only one game on the calendar and it includes Kansas.

There is just one game between two ranked teams (Georgia Alabama)

North Carolina v. Florida State has probably the most interest???? after that one????  I'm trying hard to find another more interesting game, send help.

Kentucky- Tenn, Auburn- SC, TAMU-MissSt are all one score spreads. Problem is pickings are extremely slim at night.

I'm particularly interested to see if TAMU coming off big win can go on the road and avoid laying an egg.

I like Pitt and the points.  They seem to specialize in moral victories.

But, alas, I don't have ACCN.

Following up on Alabama’s statement on Nick Saban’s Thursday negative test- I’m told Saban’s test today (Friday) was also negative. If tomorrow morning’s test is negative he’ll be cleared to coach, per the given protocol.

Wild. Man, college football really should not be this important. That’s embarrassing.

Did he originally have a false positive?  I guess maybe I don't understand how the virus works.  How do you go from first having it to not having it after a few days?  I assume he was being tested often?  Did he have it earlier and they weren't aware?   

Of course, there is always dark magic.    

Are oatmeal cream pies the cure?

They test everyday, and there have 100% negatives from all players and staff since Wed. They will pass the protocol laid out in advance if another round of 100% negatives comes this morning.

A big advantage of having more money than almost all other programs is they can use it to be more thorough with this.  They've tested all players and staff everyday since this summer.

He tested positive 3 days ago. This is why people look down on the south. The very idea that he would be standing on a sideline full of people is lunacy.

Most P5 schools are going to have this advantage.

Right, I get that.  That's why I was wondering if he had a false positive.  If you're tested daily and suddenly test positive, I didn't think you would test negative a few days later.

I’m not sure...haven’t seen an explanation yet, but I believe the medical staff confirmed it wasn’t a false positive.

Protocol was created by doctors, so I just trust they'd understand it.

[gump 2,087]

I was wrong...it looks like it’s now being labeled a False Positive:

Statement from team physician Jimmy Robinson:

“Upon evaluation today, Coach Saban remains completely asymptomatic. To address the potential for a false positive, the SEC Return to Activity and Medical Guidance Task Force Protocol allows for follow-up testing to clear the individual’s return to activity. That protocol requires three negative PCR tests 24 hours apart.

Kentucky with 2 pick-6s.  The Vols fans in attendance are getting restless.  

ETA:  So they bring in the backup QB and he throws an int.  They didn't return it for a TD, so I guess that's an improvement.

[gump 2,087]

The Vols earlyseason results also appear to be False Positives.

It’s pretty much the complete opposite of what every scientist/doctor has said to do but ok. Go football.

Breaking: Alabama coach Nick Saban has been cleared to coach in tonight's game against Georgia following a third negative COVID-19 test Saturday, the school announced.

Lawrence threw for about 400 and 5TDs at half. One drive and he’s out in the 2nd half.

Rest of ACC is rough but Clemson’s going to be really hard to beat this year.
