I was REALLY tempted to proactively put them on there. They are so due for their annual tailspin

Fuck it, I'm putting SEC officiating on Fraud Watch.

And now a free timeout?? This is truly unreal. Kirby Smart knows the refs are in his pocket

This was the most obvious case I have ever seen, yes.

For many years I've had a pet theory that SEC refs are instructed to protect the higher ranked team in conference games by missing borderline calls. The last three minutes of the first half of the Auburn/Georgia game did nothing to convince me otherwise.

Auburn is by far the most snakebit team in the country this year. I've never seen so many calls go against one team

I'm taking Texas off of Fraud Watch. I have to admit I did not see this coming. Wow

Parents, talk to your kids about Top 5 Indiana.

Jake 🐍 @jakesnakeemoji.bsky.social · 1d

Whatever the opposite of fraud watch is, that's what Indiana is on. I like to consider myself a believer, but I didn't think they'd go on the road and actually do their thing.

Some downtime at work has led to me compiling my College Football Fraud Alerts

Confirmed Fraud: Penn State, Clemson

Fraud Warning: Florida

Fraud Watch: Notre Dame, Texas

Giving Texas one last chance to prove it this weekend. They could move all the way to Confirmed Fraud if they get blown out

I loved seeing him pancake a defensive end against the Saints last weekend too.

Missed it last night because I was watching the Southern Miss game, but I just watched the highlights from the Eagles/Giants game.

Cam Skattebo is an absolute freak.

Machado winning the Nobel Peace Prize isn't the dunk on Trump liberals think it is.

Southern Miss to the top!

Go to hell, Georgia Southern. Imagine putting your direction *after* the state in your school's name lmao

(Don't look at what Southern Miss was called from 1940-1962)

64% of all tickets are on the over tonight for MNF.

Here's an opportunity to make my two favorite plays at the same time: primetime unders AND fading the public.

REAL. A not-insignificant number of voters were probably asleep before it ended. Lmao

If Miami wins this, they have to go to number one, right? Ohio State and Oregon are hurt by the Texas and Penn State losses, respectively. Meanwhile, Miami would have 3 ranked wins, assuming USF rejoins the top 25.

Penn State on Fraud Warning.

Jake 🐍 @jakesnakeemoji.bsky.social · 8d

Taking Alabama off of Fraud Warning, all the way back to normal status for now.

Placing Texas on Fraud Watch.

A win is a win, but I have never been so frustrated after getting a result on the road. Played an hour against nine men and still had a lower xG than DC.

I'm worried we peaked too soon and are on the comedown just in time for the playoffs.

Live look at me lurking in the "unofficial" teams chat while these folks share their incoherent ramblings about the government shutdown
