#3 Georgia continued to show dominance by drubbing #11 Oregon 49-3. Stetson Bennett picked up where he left off on his title game performance by going 25-31 for 368 and 2 TD's. After being written off for J.T. Daniels early in his career, he continues to keep the Georgia Bulldogs humming as they destroyed the Ducks. The Bo Nix experience traveled out West and delivered a gem of 21/37 for 173 and 2 INT's. Oregon Fans are THRILLED! Georgia bettors cash in early with a no doubter as the -17 point favorites cruise easily to victory.

During the early slate, these two in-state teams matched up in an absolute throwdown. Appalachian State put up 40 points alone in the 4th quarter to come back and tie it several times, only to be outlasted by the Tarheels. The Mountaineers had multiple chances to win the game outright on two point conversions but a few errant throws held them back. In perhaps the easiest bet of the day, the over 55.5 cashed alone in the 4th quarter.

In the premier slot of the night, Notre Dame controlled the clock and was dominant for three quarters but eventually was outlasted by a deeper Ohio State roster. Their game plan to keep C.J. Stroud and the Ohio State offense off the field worked for three quarters and had them in charge making The Irish were a lock to cover +17. This also kept the total low for the majority of the game. The Buckeyes eventually put together a back-to-back key long 4th quarter drives to secure the W, but the public took the L as the majority of bettors took Ohio State -17 and the Over 59.5.

College Football fans were served a double dose of insanity on Thursday as two of the best games of the week welcomed back fans. 8 months since the last snap of College Football, fans were treated to two games playing at a break-neck pace. The Backyard Brawl reconvened after an 11-year hiatus. Pittsburgh came back from the dead to push depending on your line and most bettors lost their Under 50.5 as 49 points alone were scored in the 2H. A pick 6 for Pittsburgh was the catalyst to lift the Panthers to the W. Simultaneously Penn State was at Purdue in another punch-for-punch matchup. 7 lead changes and Purdue was down 11 at the half. Purdue came back to take the lead on the back of a "Puke 6". Defender Chris Jefferson lost his lunch after putting the Boilermakers up 31-28, however, Clifford and the Nittany Lions got the last laugh scoring in the last minute of regulation to win. This put Penn State as a 13-3-1 ATS in September games, an extremely profitable record and something to keep note heading into next week and the opener of 2023.

The targeting rule is an issue in every college game. Replay officials buzzing in, refs calling targeting that isn't, targeting not getting called when it is. The major issue is the gray area around the rule, it is all subjective. If you're a fan of College Football, there is no doubt that your team has been affected by this asinine rule. Additionally, the player, whether intentional or not is ejected. We understand the intention behind the rule is for player safety but the rule needs to be clarified. If it is targeting is deemed to be intentional, then yes, throw the player out, but don't DQ a player in reactionary play that happens in a game that is lightning quick. Sometimes there is no other move for a defender to make. Hopefully, they will figure it out eventually, however, it is the NCAA and they will continue to make terrible move after terrible move because that is just what Mark Emmert does.
