Ricardo B. Brazziell/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK Coming Wednesday, comments will look different. Hey everyone. I’m Beth, and I oversee all of our college communities for SB Nation. This Thursday will be a big day for our community: we’re moving our comments to a new platform, developed especially for SB Nation. By then, all our college communities will be moving to the new platform, and I’m excited about the change. Some of you may already be familiar with this new platform as we began rolling it out to our NFL sites in 2020, and brought it to some of our college communities last ye ..read more

Scott Wachter-USA TODAY Sports The Horns are done, but the games go on. Last Week: 4-1-1 ATS 4-2 SU For the Year: 40-37-1 (.519) (-$110) ATS 52-26 (.667) SU Chalk (LSU +6.5 vs. Texas A&M): LSU won this game on a 28-yard dime from Max Johnson to Jaray Jenkins with twenty seconds left, but they outgained the Aggies 412-296 and held Texas A&M to 54 rushing yards on 28 attempts, a paltry 1.9 yards per carry. The Aggies were on cloud nine this time last year thinking they had a shot at the playoff, this year they have four losses and just lost to a coach that is in Destin drinking from one ..read more

Last Week: 4-2 ATS 6-0 SU For the Year: 36-36 (.500) (-$360) ATS 48-24 (.667) SU Chalk (Oklahoma -3.5 vs. Iowa State): The Sooners managed to only ring up 96 yards passing and were 1-of-10 on third down but kind of always felt in control of this one, especially after Brock Purdy had a derp moment and fumbled the ball right to an Oklahoma defender for a touchdown. Then, for good measure he threw an interception inside the 10-yard line when they were driving to tie at the end of the game. No w ..read more

Photo by Tim Warner/Getty Images The unthinkable happened. Again. The good news is there is nowhere to go but up. Last Week: 3-3 ATS 3-3 SU For the Year: 32-34 (.485) (-$520) ATS 42-24 (.636) SU Chalk (Ole Miss +2.5 vs. Texas A&M): I posed the question last week if Zach Calzada could really win five games in a row and the answer was no. Calzada threw two interceptions, including a pick six with just a few minutes remaining to seal the victory for Lane Kiffin and the Rebels. Ole Miss had more than 400 yards of offense in the first half but the Aggie defense kept them out of the endzone for ..read more

Photo by David Purdy/Getty Images The Horns have been dust in the wind for a month — it is time to get it right. Last Week: 4-2 ATS 5-1 SU For the Year: 29-31 (.483) (-$490) ATS 39-21 (.650) SU Chalk (LSU +28.5 @ Alabama): The good news for Alabama is that they won, keeping alive their hope for reaching the SEC title game. The bad news is that they had more penalties (9) and almost had as many sacks on Bryce Young (5) as they did rushing yards (6). That is their lowest output in school history for a non-bowl game. Their streak of scoring at least 30 points ended at 34 games as well. But they w ..read more

Stephen Spillman-USA TODAY Sports Texas lost and even the damn animal kingdom is pissed about it. Who is going to do something about it? Last Week: 2-4 ATS 3-3 SU For the Year: 25-29 (.463) (-$650) ATS 34-20 (.630) SU Chalk(Georgia -14.5 vs. Florida): I’m going to throw a lot out there at you, try to keep up. Florida and Dan Mullen (the next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders) are now 2-7 against Top 25 opponents since 2019 – and 4-7 in their last 11 overall. Georgia’s defense has allowed 5 touchdowns all year – and have scored 3. They have outscored opponents 303-53 on the year – those 53 po ..read more

Photo by Tim Warner/Getty Images The Horns head to Waco in a fight for their season. Last Week: 3-3 ATS 3-3 SU For the Year: 23-25 (.479) (-$430) ATS 31-17 (.646) SU Chalk (Oklahoma State +7 @ Iowa State): Brock Purdy threw for 307 yards and two touchdowns and the Iowa State defense held Oklahoma State to 2 of 10 on third down as Iowa State pulled out the win. Matt Campbell’s team is now 16-2 in October since 2017, with three of those victories over top-10 teams. Bad Beat (South Carolina +20.5 @ Texas A&M): Don’t ever rely on bad offenses on the road. From about midway through the first th ..read more

Photo by Tim Warner/Getty Images We wanted to skip that whole rebuild thing...but its here. Last Week: 3-3 ATS 4-2 SU For the Year: 20-22 (.476) (-$400) ATS 28-14 (.667) SU Chalk (Oklahoma -13.5 vs. TCU): Three weeks ago we were told we put too many high expectations on Spencer Rattler, but this week we are told that a true freshman is a Heisman candidate after his first career start. Caleb Williams was impressive, but c’mon. Gary Patterson has now lost 8 in a row and 11 of 12 to Oklahoma. Bad Beat (Kansas State +6.5 vs. Iowa State): Breece Hall took the first play of the game 75 yards for a t ..read more

Photo by Tim Warner/Getty Images After a disastrous loss in Dallas, the Horns return home with one goal in mind...getting back to DFW. Last Week: 1-5 ATS 2-4 SU For the Year: 17-19 (.472) (-$370) ATS 24-12 (.667) SU Chalk (Georgia -15 @ Auburn) Well, when you win ONE game last week, you have to pick that one. Auburn wasn’t able to do much against the new #1 team in the country but they did manage to score the first touchdown of the season against the Georgia first-team defense, so they have that going for them. Bad Beat (Alabama -17.5 @ Texas A&M) These two teams could play again tomorrow ..read more

Photo by Jackson Laizure/Getty Images Someone will go home a hero on Saturday. Last Week: 5-1 ATS 6-0 SU For the Year: 16-14 (.533) ($40) ATS 22-8 (.733) SU Chalk (Cincinnati -2 @ Notre Dame) With two major conferences playing themselves out of the playoff (ACC, PAC-12), there is a lot of sentiment about why not Cincinnati in the playoff after this win, but I’m not sure this won’t look about as impressive as the infamous “Texas is BACK!” game where Texas defeated a Notre Dame squad that was ranked #10 for that win but finished 4-8. The Irish look terrible. Not 4-8 terrible, but with trips to V ..read more
