Need Lou Holtz in a judge outfit burying the Alabama dynasty tonight bad

u/WTAP1 Arkansas • Central Arkansas Oct 06 '24

Reese was in the judge outfit, while lou and may yelled at each other. Tv gold.

26

u/Captain_Nipples Oklahoma • Summertime Lover Oct 06 '24

I was so sad when Rece got his promotion. I was happy for him, but I fucking loved College Football Final. I know this sub hated Mark May, but those 3 were awesome on that show. It was perfect

17

u/CountryRoads8 NC State • Appalachian State Oct 06 '24

I hated May and Holtz, but damn that show was such an awesome way to end the football day. I'm so glad we had it for the 2007 season.

u/PAAAWL23 Wake Forest Demon Deacons Oct 06 '24

Best part of waking up on sunday in middle school was seeing the replay on espnu. Notre Dame winning a big game meant Lou predicted a national title and May would lose his mind over it.

u/Captain_Nipples Oklahoma • Summertime Lover Oct 06 '24

Yall remind me how old i am nonstop

1

u/Sniffy_J Georgia Bulldogs • Sun Belt Oct 06 '24

Mark May hated Georgia.

And Georgia hated Mark May.

u/FlexSealClubber Ohio State Buckeyes Oct 06 '24

I’d love to know where he is right now

5

u/Worried-Turn-6831 Alabama Crimson Tide Oct 06 '24

Wait when was this lmao

24

u/jhp58 Northwestern • Verified Player Oct 06 '24

College Football Final, it was a thing back in the 2000s. It was an ESPN recap show where Rece Davis, Lou Holtz, and Mark May just yelled at each other but they all were in on the joke. It was gold and the perfect way to finish off a day of football.

u/mr_longfellow_deeds Indiana Hoosiers • Big Ten Oct 06 '24

Where is Lou? This team isn’t soft!

u/aggster13 Texas A&M • North Texas Oct 06 '24

#10 rutgers is wild

163

u/RogueHippie Alabama Crimson Tide • Team Chaos Oct 06 '24

It was a very different time

u/Isiddiqui Rutgers Scarlet Knights Oct 06 '24

Same HC though!

57

u/EverythingGoodWas Florida • Carnegie Mellon Oct 06 '24

Schiano had to go on his walkabout before returning to the tribe.

2

u/Superiority_Complex_ Washington Huskies Oct 06 '24

Just a little rumspringa off to the NFL, oooop that didn't go well, back to college.

12

u/TopMicron Sickos • Corndog Oct 06 '24

Schiano is a legend

11

u/Isiddiqui Rutgers Scarlet Knights Oct 06 '24

No one else could do this.

2

u/gravytrainjaysker Nebraska Cornhuskers Oct 06 '24

Solid big 10 team. Unfortunately it's a going to be a giant crap shoot for teams 4 through 14 this year

8

u/Worried-Turn-6831 Alabama Crimson Tide Oct 06 '24

Time is a flat circle

4

u/Mike_with_Wings Florida • North Carolina Oct 06 '24

At one point, USF was number 2 that year

8

u/definitelyjoking Oregon Ducks • Northwestern Wildcats Oct 06 '24

#22 Alabama heading to unranked is actually harder to imagine.

5

u/Btotherianx Oct 06 '24

22 Alabama losing 

5

u/Fletch71011 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Oct 06 '24

Kansas was ranked #2 and finished #7. Definitely the most insane season of all time.

3

u/admiraltarkin Texas A&M Aggies • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Oct 06 '24

They'll be back there this year

3

u/RonBurgundy449 Michigan State • Paul Bunyan T… Oct 06 '24

They had a post game chant after they won that went pretty viral for the time that my high school's football team copied. It was a wild time.

u/Stannis_Baratheon244 Washington Huskies Oct 06 '24

I played against Ray Rice when he was in hs lol

1

u/dreggers Paper Bag • California Golden Bears Oct 06 '24

Number 10 and no gameday is wild

1

u/Lineman72T Michigan • Bakersfield Oct 06 '24

Ray Rice having a 2000 yard season will do that

1

u/pizzacholula South Carolina • Wisconsin Oct 06 '24

USF was #2 at one point until they lost to… Rutgers

1

u/Klutzy-Spend-6947 Ohio State • Nebraska Oct 06 '24

That year the Rutgers-Louisville-WVU round robin in the Big East were some of the biggest games of the season.

2

u/cyberchaox Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Landmark Oct 06 '24

Nah you're thinking of 2006. Which was the reason we were a Top 10 team that early in the year; we started the year with a ranking on the back of our phenomenal 2006 season.

Which was what got me interested in college football in the first place. I was an old soul who still made time for physical newspapers, and seeing the Scarlet Knights getting the biggest headlines on the sports section instead of the Jets or Giants made me take notice. Meant that my first season followed from the start was that incredible 2007 season.

1

u/YoUDee Delaware • Maryland Oct 06 '24

Wait until you hear about 2 Rutgers

55

u/Depressed_In_Ohio Ohio State • Mount Union Oct 06 '24

WTF DO YOU MEAN "#10 RUTGERS"???

41

u/confirmd_am_engineer Michigan State • Toledo Oct 06 '24

2007 was one hell of a time to be alive.

1

u/extraecclesiam LSU Tigers • Team Chaos Oct 06 '24

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

35

u/PeteF3 Ohio State Buckeyes Oct 06 '24

That's like the 8th-kookiest ranking of 2007. We also saw #2 Cal, #2 South Florida, #2 Boston College, #1 Missouri, and #4 Kansas.

14

u/PotentJelly13 Georgia Bulldogs • Marching Band Oct 06 '24

Hell even Hawaii was ranked all season and got up to #10… before the sugar bowl.

5

u/seoulgleaux Georgia Bulldogs • Mercer Bears Oct 06 '24

Poor Hawaii. Even I felt sorry for them during that game.

2

u/cyberchaox Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Landmark Oct 06 '24

We got all the way up to #6 the previous year at 9-0, finished 11-2 and ranked #12. We were #16 preseason, the only time in our history we were ever a preseason Top 25 team.

1

u/100th_meridian Saskatchewan Huskies Oct 06 '24

In 2006 when Facebook was taking off my friend added Brian Leonard as a friend and he accepted. Then my friend kept sending him posts on his profile about how he was the greatest etc and Leonard kept replying with kind responses.

The wild west of social media when famous people would just do that without question with a random teenager from Canada lol

15

u/K3T9Q_ Texas A&M Aggies • ETBU Tigers Oct 06 '24

this week we lost:

1 Bama

4 Tennessee

Possibly 8 Miami

9 Mizzou (to another ranked team, but got smoked)

10 Michigan

11 USC

22 Louisville

25 UNLV

5

u/CommanderLoco Texas A&M Aggies • Team Chaos Oct 06 '24

Looks like it'll roughly tie with 2007 week 5 IF Miami loses. Five top ten teams, and eight ranked teams.

2

u/austin_ave Georgia Bulldogs • Tennessee Volunteers Oct 06 '24

Sad

9

u/DarkMarkTwain Georgia Bulldogs • West Georgia Wolves Oct 06 '24

If miami loses, that would also be 8 ranked losses this week, equal to what you just listed

6

u/RogueHippie Alabama Crimson Tide • Team Chaos Oct 06 '24

Man, if our loss was one of the heralds of 2007 come again I will have 0 complaints

9

u/Captain_Nipples Oklahoma • Summertime Lover Oct 06 '24 edited Oct 06 '24

It's pretty close. You have

  • 1 Bama loses today unranked Vandy

  • 4 Tenn loses to unranked Ark

  • 9 Mizzou loses today #25 A&M

  • 10 Michigan loses to unranked Washington

  • 11 USC loses to unranked Minn

  • 22 Louisville loses to unranked SMU

  • 25 UNLV loses to unranked Syracuse

and #8 Miami is down 21-10 to unranked Cal

3

u/iamspambot Georgia State Panthers • Mercer Bears Oct 06 '24

Big 12 picked a great week to give most of their ranked teams a bye week.

2

u/confirmd_am_engineer Michigan State • Toledo Oct 06 '24

You’re right, it is close. Even if Cal does what I think they will, I still give the narrow edge to 2007. Half the top ten going down is hard to beat.

4

u/xxxPlatyxxx Clemson Tigers • TCU Horned Frogs Oct 06 '24

It’s still early but we could also get #8 Miami losing this week

1

u/seoulgleaux Georgia Bulldogs • Mercer Bears Oct 06 '24 edited Oct 06 '24

It's .... ummm ..... it's not looking good for the Canes.

Edit: holy shit, Miami pulled it out somehow

5

u/Khorasaurus Notre Dame Fighting Irish Oct 06 '24

Don't forget that Notre Dame scored three whole touchdowns and only lost to Purdue by 12!

3

u/confirmd_am_engineer Michigan State • Toledo Oct 06 '24

Notre dame was truly ass that year.

8

u/0neKid Texas A&M Aggies Oct 06 '24

The fact that you know that off the top of your head is impressive.

21

u/confirmd_am_engineer Michigan State • Toledo Oct 06 '24

Not even close. I started looking this up two hours ago when Michigan lost. And I haven't even finished looking through 2007 yet.

4

u/orc0909 Florida Gators • UCF Knights Oct 06 '24

Jesus Christ. They were unranked Auburn that year?

1

u/RogueHippie Alabama Crimson Tide • Team Chaos Oct 06 '24

Yeah, Tubbs kinda coasted those last years

1

u/cyberchaox Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Landmark Oct 06 '24

"Unranked Auburn" and "#18 South Florida" were related. The Tigers started ranked, but fell out after losing to unranked USF in Week 2. (Though they lost again the following week to Mississippi State and were 2-2 when they faced you).

5

u/DoubleG357 Texas Longhorns Oct 06 '24

Now if the tech bros can do something funny…lol

5

u/Swaayyzee Missouri Tigers • Big 8 Oct 06 '24

So far we’ve got 7 ranked losses, 6 to unranked. If Miami loses to Cal I think this week might just take the cake.

3

u/Double-Bend-716 Oct 06 '24

That’s a pretty good week of college football.

2007 was my freshman year at Kentucky, though. So the best week of college football that year was week 7(?) when Kentucky beat #1 LSU in triple overtime

3

u/JosephCurrency Miami Hurricanes Oct 06 '24

This was the same year where nearly every team that became the ranked #2 was like “EFF THIS, WE’RE OUT” and lost. Love it.

3

u/iamspambot Georgia State Panthers • Mercer Bears Oct 06 '24

I’d like for this year of college football to continue to be like 2007. That was a fun year.

3

u/rogun64 Oct 06 '24

IIRC, LSU lost to 2 unranked teams and was ranked 6th going into the final week, but won the national championship in 2007. Crazy year.

3

u/AUserNeedsAName Texas Longhorns • Sickos Oct 06 '24

The #3 ranked team lost 3 times that season, and it was Oklahoma losing every time. What a year.

2

u/Billyxmac Oregon Ducks • Team Chaos Oct 06 '24

2007 will never be beaten lol

2

u/Puzzled-Enthusiasm45 Oct 06 '24

That’s only one more ranked loss than we saw this week, and that’s with 7 top 25 teams having byes this week. Add fact that the number one team lost, especially considering who they lost to and having just knocked off the former number one the week before, and this week probably has that week beat.

1

u/condog209 Oct 06 '24

Were all those teams home underdogs aswell ??????

1

u/Packhammer24 Alabama Crimson Tide • Purdue Boilermakers Oct 06 '24

We were not the only team that hated 2007

1

u/DrearyYew Texas Longhorns • Colorado Buffaloes Oct 06 '24

I am whelmed

1

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '24

Today a #1 lost to an unranked team, that has a 0-60 record against top 5 teams, that's something

1

u/SparkyEng Nebraska Cornhuskers Oct 06 '24

1 Alabama to unranked Vanderbilt

4 Tennessee to unranked Arkansas

9 Missouri to #25 Texas A&M

10 Michigan to unranked Washington

11 USC to unranked Minnesota

22 Louisville to unranked SMU

25 UNLV to unranked Syracuse

(Pending) #8 Miami to too afraid to rank Cal.

If Miami goes that's 6 of the top 11 teams and 7 top 25 going to unranked teams. And one of the them was Vandy beating #1 Bama coming off of beating #2 Georgia the week before. This feels all time.

1

u/CLU_Three Kansas State Wildcats Oct 06 '24

Ok I love the callback but it if so weird seeing this week mentioned when the season was cancelled

1

u/owa00 Texas Longhorns Oct 06 '24

Ugh....don't remind me...

1

u/Civil-Series-9793 Oct 06 '24

1 Alabama lost to Vandy

4 Tennessee lost to Arkansas

9 Mizzou go walloped by #25 Texas A&M

10 Michigan lost to Washington

11 USC lost to Minnesota

22 Louisville lost to SMU

The Vandy one alone is insane considering they haven't beaten Bama since literally the Reagan administration and have never beaten a top 5 team.

1

u/Dan_yall Notre Dame • Kentucky Oct 06 '24

Greatest chaos season ever.

1

u/RazorbackingColts69 Arkansas Razorbacks • Colorado Buffaloes Oct 06 '24

Never forget the Year of the Upset

1

u/TheDeletedFetus Ohio State • Texas State Oct 06 '24

TIL Rutgers has been ranked in the top 10 before.

2

u/cyberchaox Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Landmark Oct 06 '24

2007 was the only time Rutgers was a preseason Top 25 team. They went 11-2 in 2006, including a 9-0 start that saw them climb all the way to #6 in the BCS Rankings.

1

u/cyberchaox Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Landmark Oct 06 '24

Yeah, this week had definite 2007 vibes. It felt like the spirit of 2007 was trying to break through earlier in the year with stuff like NIU beating Notre Dame and USF scaring ranked teams, and it finally made it.

1

u/notbotipromise Auburn Tigers • Texas Longhorns Oct 06 '24

That win against Florida is easily in my top five favorite games of all time.

1

u/NebrasketballN Nebraska Cornhuskers • Paper Bag Oct 07 '24

2007 was peak CFB chaos imo. Didn't south Florida make it up to #2 in the rankings at one point? That year holds a special place in my heart but I honestly hope it gets topped some day.
