2017 College Football Week 7 Recap: Freaky Friday

Screen Shot 2017-10-16 at 1.29.25 PM

5 major takeaways from the weekend
– Always take the points for a Tom Herman coached dog (7-0 ATS)
– UAB is going to make a bowl game a year after not having a program. Bill Clark’s (very deservingly) about to get the bag.
– If being a Florida fan wasn’t disappointing enough this year, Will Grier is starting to solidify himself as the best QB in the country.

– Brace yourself for some 2007 season comparisons.
– It looks like I’m spending my Thanksgiving in Orlando since the War on I-4 is going to essentially decide that New Year’s Six spot.

Does my man have an old, weird AF high school video that I’m about to give you without context? Damn right he does.
